After entering the city, the dark, deathly silent streets were completely deserted, forming a stark contrast to the firelight outside the city and the constant stream of people.
As the carriages moved slowly forward, their wheels rumbled over the ground, the clattering sound especially piercing on the empty streets.
Du Jingyu glanced at the sky and called to the carriage behind him. "It is already late at night. How about you rest at my Du Family residence for the night, Brother?"
No one appeared. Only a voice, sounding rather interested in something, came from the carriage in the middle.
"No need. We have arrived in Chen City, and my people have already made arrangements. Let us part here. If Brother Du wishes to find me, come to the Flowing Cloud Inn in the southern part of the city!"
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Lianshan, Liu Chengming, and the others drove their carriage around a corner at the side of the street and headed in another direction.
"Very well. I will surely bring generous gifts and visit you for a proper chat another day!" Du Jingyu clasped his hands toward the departing carriage in farewell, called out loudly, then waved his hand. Liu Tong immediately drove straight into the city.
"Chen City is quite lively. There is no need to mind those following behind us. If they enjoy following us, let them follow." Chu Xuanao sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, resting quietly as he spoke.
The Ghost Servant nodded and lowered his hand, abandoning his intention to act.
Ever since entering the city, quite a few people had been following them from the shadows. To the Ghost Servant, who had stepped into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, there was nowhere in Chen City for them to hide.
