The night was already deep.
The guests had long since dispersed, and the inn had already closed. After locking the doors and windows, the shop assistant had also sprawled across the downstairs counter and fallen asleep.
Jiang Qiao was staying in a guest room on the third floor.
He stood by the window.
Looking at the few scattered lights that had appeared in the pitch-black urban district beneath the rainy night sky.
He fell into deep thought.
"Things aren't peaceful in Ninggu City either."
"I just arrived and already heard about Supernatural Events. It even seems to involve two prominent local clans."
"The Gui Family is in the city."
"Why aren't they doing anything?"
To track down Dragon Tiger Daoist, the Gui Family had mobilized many powerful experts.
Not just Gui Jizhen.
According to Fang Bo,
there were likely several Master-level experts hidden in the dark, and they were even carrying forbidden artifacts capable of threatening Great Sir.
They had done so to ensure absolute success.
Dragon Tiger Daoist had yet to be captured, yet Supernatural Events had broken out in the city.
Weren't they afraid of being affected?
"After leaving Zhenbei County, I traveled north all the way. I encountered no attacks, and I wasn't stopped when I arrived in Ninggu City."
"It seems as though none of this happened."
"Gui Jizhen was seriously injured. Could that have affected the Gui Family's operation?"
"That would make sense."
A frontier city like Ninggu City wasn't important in the eyes of the Gui Family. With the family heir injured, they might not have the leisure to care about whether the people here lived or died.
Jiang Qiao had clearly said that he was coming to Ninggu City, and the other side had a diviner like Master Zheng, who could calculate anything.
