In the City Lord’s Mansion, upon discovering that the Abyssal Giant had been dealt with, members of the Dark Guild who had infiltrated the mansion began to retreat quickly, fading into the shadows.
In another dark corner, a lone figure stood quietly.
Clad in black, this individual witnessed the entire process of the Abyssal Giant being slain by the divine thunder formation.
He watched as Nie Li was carried away by Ye Xiu, the corner of his mouth curling slightly as he rasped, “Interesting.”
Several times, he felt the urge to strike and snatch Nie Li from Ye Xiu's grasp, but he ultimately resisted, instead gazing into the distance. “I know you’ve sensed my presence and are waiting for me to act. But tracking me won’t be so easy. You win this time, but next time will not be so simple.” With a cold laugh, the black-clad figure slowly dissolved into the darkness.
Nearby, Ye Zong’s eyes gleamed sharply.
The unsettling aura that had lingered around him had vanished quietly; he understood that the enemy had already retreated.
Since the moment the Abyssal Giant appeared, Ye Zong had captured two demon spirit masters from the Dark Guild while remaining vigilant against the source of his unease.
