But he clearly heard that wolf demon say that Lu’er had already been eaten by the evil corpse?
And those blood-stained antlers...
The workshop master chuckled lightly and said, "This guest might not know, but the Han Prince whom you just killed had already taken a liking to this deer a month ago, placing a hefty deposit ahead of ti, and he was determined to win it at tonight’s auction.
Unfortunately, the Third Lady ca to my Dark City three days ago and also took a liking to this deer. She intercepted and seized it, and I had to pretend that the deer was accidentally eaten to dismiss the Prince."
The workshop master’s tone shifted to one of mild amusent, "But now it seems, there’s no need for to deal with the Prince."
While he spoke, Baili An had already stepped forward to lift the young deer horizontally in his arms.
He checked her breath, found her pulse steady, her demon core intensely pure, and her spiritual power restrained. It was unknown when she inwardly cultivated such profound arts, transforming within such a young bone age.
The workshop master laughed, "The Third Lady has always been generous, and she certainly isn’t stingy with this little deer."
Baili An imdiately understood, though suspecting that the Third Lady the workshop master referred to might be Fang Geyu, but he wasn’t foolish enough to inquire about her identity to such a person of uncertain allegiance.
Ye Shu approached, lowering his voice, "How about it? Shall we continue?" His tone was full of murderous intent.
Baili An had just killed not only the guests of the Dark City but also the corpse-keeping steward, the attendants maintaining order, and even the maidservant, all fallen under his blade.
Yet the workshop master, instead of getting angry, was so courteous and respectful, acting as if he didn’t care about those lives.
Seemingly harmless and friendly, but the more such a person is, the more dangerous they beco.
"Do we have any reason to put down our knives?" Baili An’s pupils had resud their usual color, but the killing intent around him remained undiminished.
Lu’er suffered here, and though he could save her this ti, it didn’t an he would always have such luck.
The Demon Hunter’s greatest profit cos from this Dark City. Without uprooting such dark trade in the underground Dark City, the Mountain Realm would never know peace.
The workshop master’s gaze slid over Baili An’s body, the humor in his voice deepening, as he clapped his hands twice.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!!!
Ten black shadows descended from the sky, standing firmly around and enclosing Baili An and Ye Shu.
The ten figures were all clad in black robes, with uncovered faces not masked.
Strangely, these ten had faceless appearances, their faces covered only with a ghastly white skin, seven of them having Chengling Realm’s terrifying strength.
While the other three bore simple facial features painted in blood ink on their ghastly white skin, looking eerie and sinister with Tribulation Realm cultivation.
These ten were all corpse n refined through secret techniques, of formidable strength, impervious to pain, known in the Dark City as dead soldiers.
The workshop master remained in a relaxed posture, hands folded as he sat, "To be honest, this guest ruined the Dark City’s rules today by killing in the Yu Tower, and only through a punishnt of cutting at the waist could leave. However, seeing as you belong to the Third Lady, this workshop master won’t argue with you."
However, the workshop master not bickering with you doesn’t an the aristocratic families in the Ze Country’s Imperial City will brush it aside. I have secretly sent tonight’s death list to various factions in the Ze Country’s Capital City.
Does the guest think, upon learning of the deaths of these dignitaries and noble scions today, their backing forces wouldn’t rally to attack imdiately?"
Ye Shu’s face darkened, gripping Baili An’s arm, saying, "If the Dark City intends to invite, it would take no ti for the Capital’s forces to arrive here!"
This workshop master had indeed played a good hand, sending out a few secret ssages to leave Baili An with no place to be buried.
Under the hood, the workshop master’s gaze, seemingly smiling, examined Baili An, saying, "The Mystic Water Array is one of the world’s top ten ancient deadly arrays. Although you possess remarkable cultivation, the injuries suffered in the array must not be light, correct?
Even if you insist on fighting this workshop master now, the outco is uncertain, but do you truly have the confidence to protect this little deer from the many Ze Country family’s assaults?"
Baili An looked away from the workshop master, his hand transparent with azure light, containing the sleeping deer within the jade.
A gust of wind swept across the workshop master’s face, but he remained unhurried, raising two fingers to pin the humming blade, his gaze flickering with a faint brightness as he watched Baili An’s jade ring.
With the knife humming, Baili An turned to look at Ye Shu, saying, "We part ways now."
Ye Shu frowned, glancing at the four bloody holes on Baili An’s body, endlessly bleeding.
In the underground palace of the Demon World, he had seen Baili An’s body possess an extraordinary healing ability.
Yet now, his wounds not only hadn’t ceased but were more alarming, and even cultivators, relying on essence blood, could not afford such a drain.
In the Mystic Water Array, saving oneself and killing, unless paying any price, surely couldn’t be easy.
Baili An patted his shoulder, only saying five words, "You must not be exposed."
Ye Shu’s expression beca complicated imdiately.
Yes, he must not be exposed.
Throughout Yunzhong, who didn’t know Ye Shu as the adopted son of the old Lin Marquis, the most trusted minister of the Young Marquis today.
This night Baili An slayed nurous prominent guests, each with a distinguished background, and if his identity were revealed, it would certainly implicate the Lin Family.
