"What was the second matter?" the City Lord asked.
Madam Qianrou's mind flashed with Lin Bai's appearance, and her expression turned cold. "The second matter also concerns the survival of Verdant City."
If they failed to give the Nine Underworlds Demon Palace an explanation this time, the Nine Underworlds Demon Palace would sever its cooperation with the Demon Race. They would inevitably make Verdant City perish.
This concerned the survival of Verdant City.
And Lin Bai's existence also concerned the survival of Verdant City.
Madam Qianrou said, "The Chu Emperor's Birthday Celebration is approaching, and the Hunting Realm has opened. The top sects and lineages from every part of the Demon Realm have come to the Hunting Realm to hunt."
"According to our usual rules, during every hunt, we abduct martial artists from some of the top sects and lineages across the Demon Realm for use in our experiments."

The City Lord asked, "You caught a big fish?"
"No, no, no." Madam Qianrou's expression was grave. "It wasn't a big fish. It was a giant whale!"
The City Lord fell silent for a moment before asking, "Who did you capture?"
"Lin Bai!"
"He is the Holy Son of Tianshui Sect, one of the Five Great Families and Seven Sects of the Chu Kingdom."
"Before the Chu Emperor's Birthday Celebration, he aided the most powerful prince of the Chu royal family, 'Prince Chen,' in the struggle for the throne. He repeatedly rendered outstanding service and worked himself to the bone, and was granted the title of the Single-Character Marquis 'Wolf Marquis.'"
Madam Qianrou knew that the City Lord had been asleep for many years and knew little about the affairs of Verdant City, let alone what was happening in
