Starlight fell over the streets and alleys of the City of Light.
The parade crowd looked up to admire this rare starry night. Su Ye's forehead was drenched in sweat as he raced across the rooftops of the City of Light, heading for the "Secret Prison" at top speed.
The moment the conversation between the two in the south of the city ended, Gu Nanfeng vanished without a trace.
By the time he reached the Secret Prison, the Holy Light Barrier had already been cut open by Gale Cutter, leaving a narrow slit... The Heavy Armor Guard at the Secret Prison Alley Entrance had already been knocked down.
Both massive doors of the Secret Prison had been smashed to pieces.
Su Ye stood silently before the Secret Prison. He knew there was no need to investigate any further...
