Night had completely fallen over Ninggu City.
The allied forces of the outer-city noble families had suffered heavy losses and withdrawn from the city. But quite a few Vicious Ghosts had followed them out, turning it completely into a battle royale.
There were fewer Vicious Ghosts left within the city.
But they still wandered everywhere.
All the Special Ability Users of the noble families had followed "the Master" into the inner city. No one paid any attention to the Vicious Ghosts, nor did anyone care whether ordinary people lived or died.
As for the inner city—
There was currently no sign of any aura, and no one knew how the battle was going or who had won.
Inside the inn.
The oil lamp swayed in the night wind, stretching the shadows on the walls long and short. More than twenty people had gathered in the hall, all spies from various factions stranded in Ninggu City.
Some sat in corners, wiping down their weapons.
Some leaned out the windows to observe the movement outside, while others gathered together and talked in low voices.
The night was long.
Vicious Ghosts roamed unchecked.
For now, everyone could only gather together and face the danger.
In truth.
A group of spies had already left during the day. Less than half of the original number remained now, and they all looked like an unlucky bunch.
"Damn it."
"The higher-ups told me to stay in the city and keep watching the situation."
Someone cursed.
"Yeah."
"Who isn't in the same boat?" the person beside him said with deep sympathy. "They told me to hide in place and secretly investigate the outcome of the battle. Damn it, where the hell am I supposed to hide in a place like this?"
They were all Special Ability Users. By
