In the main hall of the City Lord’s estate. the atmosphere in the main hall was cold and cheerless. The City Lord sat on a chair in the middle of the hall. He used his hands to rub the decorations on the armrest. His expression was solemn but he didn’t say a word.

“City Lord, we didn’t find any traces of Lin Bai in the east of the city.”

“City Lord, we didn’t find any traces of Lin Bai in the west of the city either.”

“City Lord, we’re in the city…”

One by one, the guards walked forward and reported the situation to the City Lord with their heads drooping, reporting the latest situation regarding the search for Lin Bai.

Fatty and the few people who had just entered the secret room stood respectfully on the left side of the main hall, waiting for the City Lord to give the order.

Fatty glanced at the City Lord who was sitting on the chair, his expression getting uglier and uglier. Then, he stole a glance at the entrance of the secret room.

‘Have they really left? I need to find some time to slip away. The longer I stay by the City Lord’s side, the greater the chance that I’ll be exposed.’.

‘Or are they still there and haven’t left?’

Another thought appeared in Fatty’s mind. He hurriedly shook his head. In his opinion, this was simply impossible. The City Lord had just searched the entire secret chamber, and there was no place to hide.

Except…

Except that blood pool!!!

When fatty thought of this, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch. He quickly glanced at the hidden door of the secret chamber, praying in his heart that Lin Bai and the others would not come out at this time.

Slam!

A loud bang pulled fatty back to reality.

The City Lord angrily slammed his palm onto the chair. The armrest of the chair had a deep indentation that formed the shape of a palm.

The few guards who came to report the news lowered their heads. They did not dare to look at the City Lord.

“City Lord, we are willing to do our best to search for Lin Bai!”

The burly man walked out and stood in front of the City Lord. He bent down and spoke with a loyal tone!

“I’m also willing!”

The fatty quickly imitated the burly man and walked to the center. He bent down deeply.

Fatty’s heart was filled with joy. He didn’t think that this burly man, who had tricked him several times, would be able to help him this time.

Now, as long as the City Lord allowed them to leave and search for Lin Bai, then he would be able to leave the City Lord’s estate swaggeringly. As long as he left the City Lord’s estate, then he could go wherever he wanted. Whatever was fine as long as he didn’t stay by the City Lord’s side.

“I’m also willing…”

“I’m also willing…”

Those people who had been corroded by the City Lord’s demonic aura stood out one after another and volunteered.

After the City Lord heard this, his originally dark face became a little more relaxed. He nodded and said, “All of you leave and search for Lin Bai. As for the rest of you!”

The City Lord’s tone towards Fatty and the others was still rather calm. However, when he spoke to the few guards later on, his tone became even more serious, causing the few guards to tremble.

“Your subordinate is here!” The guards replied in unison, their voices full of passion.

If they still couldn’t show their enthusiasm at this moment, wouldn’t that be courting death? Hence, every single one of them was shouting loudly.

“Cooperate with their actions. Whatever they tell you to do, do it. Their orders are equivalent to my orders!”

The City Lord’s voice was firm and unquestionable. The guards quickly agreed and heaved a sigh of relief.

“Report!!!”

At this moment, a guard ran into the hall, panting and red-faced.

“Speak!”

The City Lord asked coldly. He did not expect any good news.

“I, we received news that Lin Bai has been found in the north of the city. A team is currently chasing after him in that area!”

The guard panted heavily as he reported the situation, causing his words to be full of holes. However, after hearing his words, the atmosphere in the hall froze once again.

Everyone’s hearts were filled with joy. Only fatty was filled with confusion and pain.

F * ck!

I could have left, but what happened to Lin Bai in the north of the city?! Could it be that Lin Bai and the others had really left the secret chamber? That’s not right, the location we agreed on was southwest of the capital!

Then who was it!?

Fatty was extremely puzzled and in great pain. He was just one step away from escaping from this place!

“Mhm… then let’s not delay any further. The few of you, don’t act alone for now. Follow me!”

The City Lord looked at Fatty and the others and ordered.

“Yes!”

Fatty and the others could only hurriedly agree.

Following that, a large group of people rushed towards the north of the city in an aggressive manner.

“Eh? Fatty, what are you doing here again? The City Lord has already left. If you continue to dawdle here, the City Lord will definitely be angry!”

Just as Fatty was planning to walk at the end of the group, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when no one else noticed to escape.

However, no one expected that the moment he arrived at the end of the group, the burly man once again looked at Lin Bai, his voice rough and loud.

The City Lord and the rest of the people all looked at Fatty.

F * ck you! F * ck!

Fatty had previously thanked this burly man a little, but now he only had hatred for the burly man!

“Cough cough, I was just thinking which route this Lin Bai would choose, so I was just a little stunned!”

As fatty said this, he quickly ran up and stood behind the City Lord.

…

On the other side.

“This pond is also very ordinary. Could it be that there’s no secret room here…”

The thin man frowned. He glanced around, but the pond was ordinary.

“Heh, then you’re wrong!”

Bai Xi chuckled, then used his hand to gently press down on a piece of floor in front of him!

Crack!

That piece of floor sank into the ground, and then a small square surface in the middle of the pool trembled and protruded out, revealing an entrance.

Looking from the outside into the entrance, it was pitch-black inside, so pitch-black that one could not even see one’s fingers. There was also a gust of cold wind blowing out from inside, causing Bai Xi to shiver involuntarily.

“F * ck! This is too well hidden! If it wasn’t for us draining out the blood in this pool, we would have to rely on a bit of luck to find this!”

The thin man cursed in his heart. The person who designed this secret passage was really shrewd.

When Little Red heard someone praising her, she quickly flapped her wings and flew around the pool. From time to time, she would open her mouth and say, “Haha, it’s all thanks to me, right?!”

“There’s no time to lose. Let’s go in quickly!” Lin Bai said as he leaned over to the entrance.

Cold wind blew from time to time at the entrance, indicating that the air inside was circulating. It would not suffocate or poison anyone who entered.

Then, Lin Bai leaped into the entrance.

Just as he jumped into the secret chamber, he felt his entire body trembling as if something extraordinary was staring at him. However, the feeling disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared.
