In the capital, the sun was gradually setting in the west, but the temperature was still unbearable.

The group of people ran in a certain direction. At the very front, there was an armored guard leading the way, panting heavily.

The guard’s cultivation was far lower than the few people behind him, so he could only grit his teeth and persevere. In addition, he could feel the City Lord’s urgency, so he did not dare to ask for a temporary rest.

After a long time, the guard let out a deep breath. He had arrived at his destination!

“It’s not far away!”

The guard panted and gritted his teeth as he spoke. He extended his right hand and pointed at a small hill in front of him.

Looking from afar, the small hill was covered by a dense forest. However, in the sky above the small hill, one could see a thick black smoke rising and rolling in the sky.

“It seems that they are fighting. I hope the City Lord will agree to let me go and help!”

Following behind the City Lord, a person who had been corroded by the demonic qi volunteered.

The City Lord nodded and did not stop him. His tone was firm and did not allow anyone to reject him. “You must remember one thing. If he’s alive, I want to see him. If he’s dead, I want to see the corpse. You absolutely can not let the demon Lin Bai off. Otherwise, if he were to escape, then this world would be disturbed by the demonic qi and it would be difficult for it to be peaceful. The lives of the people at dawn would be in danger!”

“Yes!”

The person who volunteered shouted and then summoned a spirit beast. The spirit beast was shaped like a crane, and its wings were five meters wide. With a scream, the guard almost fainted.

Then, the person who volunteered jumped onto the spirit beast and flew towards the direction of the hill. His speed was so fast that he reached the top of the smoke in just a few seconds.

HowfF * cking fast!

Fatty’s face was silent, but he cursed in his heart.

At the same time, he muttered in his heart. If he had tried to escape on the way, then this person would definitely use this spirit beast to quickly find him.

No way!

If he could not escape successfully later, then he had to deal with this person before leaving. Otherwise, he would be entangled by this person in the end. Why not I attack first!

When fatty thought of this, a trace of viciousness flashed through his eyes.

His actions were not without reason. Not only had that person been corroded by the City Lord’s demonic aura, fatty still vaguely remembered that person’s name. He seemed to be an unpardonable person who had committed all sorts of crimes, such as burning, killing, and plundering!

When he thought of this, fatty no longer had any worries in his heart. Instead, he made up his mind.

“What’s wrong? You seem to have thought of something. Is it about that devil, Lin Bai?!”

But right at this moment, that familiar voice sounded again. The burly man turned his attention back to Fatty.

Fatty resisted the urge to curse. Damn it, before I leave, I’ll definitely give you a good whack. Otherwise, I won’t be able to vent my anger at all!

“Cough cough!” Even though he was cursing in his heart, Fatty’s face remained calm. His eyes were filled with doubt. “What’s wrong? I’m just curious. There’s already a fight over there. Could it be that Lin Bai has already run away?”

The man’s eyes turned around. He sized up fatty from head to toe and finally looked deeply into Fatty’s eyes.

“You…” The man wanted to speak but hesitated. He did not speak for a long time.

“What are you saying? You’ve been like this since the beginning. Could it be that you’re doubting my character?! I’m loyal to the City Lord and am willing to be a pawn! The City Lord has never doubted my loyalty, but you’ve doubted me time and time again. I can’t stand it! I hope the City Lord can make a clear judgement!”

The fatty shouted at the top of his voice. The team that was originally rushing forward stopped. Everyone looked at the Fatty and the man with an unfriendly expression. Only the guard at the front let out a sigh of relief.

The City Lord looked at the Fatty and then at the man. There seemed to be a blade in his eyes that cut open the two of them and saw through their true thoughts.

“Now is not the time for internal strife. Lin Bai’s matter is the focus, I will judge your matters after you capture Lin Bai! Now, no one should suspect anyone!”

The City Lord’s voice was cold and solemn. The burly man’s heart trembled. This time, even if he had some doubts in his heart, he did not dare to continue speaking.

He knew that the City Lord was warning him. He did not dare to say anything else.

“Hmph! Did you hear that? The City Lord has already said it. Don’t pick on me in the future!”

Fatty snorted and glared at the man. He raised his head and walked behind the City Lord.

The City Lord only frowned at Fatty’s action but did not stop him.

The man gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, but he could only break his teeth and swallow them.

“Don’t waste time, hurry up!”

As the City Lord spoke, he exerted his strength and started to rush towards the small hill.

The sound of battle could already be heard from the dense forest within the small hill, as well as the shouts and curses of the crowd.

“Lin Bai, you big demon. You’ve done all kinds of bad things. Today, we will definitely return the balance to the world!”

“Demon, don’t be so arrogant. Your actions are ruthless, and your temperament is vicious. It’s a waste that you were once a decent person!”

“Demon Lin Bai, you bewitching demon. Don’t resist, or do you want to surrender? We will definitely help you get rid of your demonic nature!”

…

“Hiss!”

The closer he got to the hillside, the colder Fatty’s heart became. From these insults, could it be that Lin Bai and the others had really been discovered?

If the person in the forest was not Lin Bai, then who was it?

Fatty followed closely behind the City Lord, not daring to fall behind. Although the City Lord did not say anything, the City Lord had already begun to suspect him, so he had to put on a good disguise and follow closely behind the City Lord. He could not make any small movements.

Very soon, everyone arrived at the forest that was emitting billowing black smoke.

However, at this moment, the forest was very quiet. Not much time had passed, but the sounds of fighting and cursing just now could not be heard.

“What’s the situation?!”

The man looked around vigilantly, holding his weapon tightly in his hand.

“In front, follow me!”

The City Lord looked in a certain direction, and his figure changed into a black shadow, rushing in a certain direction.

Fatty and the others followed closely behind, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

“Cough… City Lord, you’re finally here. Just, just now, that demon Lin Bai… had us all…”

Just as he followed, fatty saw a person laying on the ground, covered in blood, speaking to the City Lord with a weak aura.

But halfway through his words, his hands fell down weakly, and his entire body lost its vitality.

Around this person, there were more than twenty people covered in blood and covered in wounds. They lay motionless, without a trace of life.

“That is!!!”

A person looked ahead in astonishment. Under a large tree, there was a spirit beast that looked like a crane, and another person.

The two wings of the spirit beast were forcefully torn off, and there was a clear hole in that person’s chest.

“Zhang Cheng actually died so easily?! Among our group, his strength is at least in the top three!”

The crowd began to stir. They were very familiar with each other’s strength, and at the same time, they were very confident in their own strength.

And at this moment, a person whose strength was not much different from theirs died so easily in front of them greatly shocked them.
