That night, the noble clan meeting was held in secret inside the City Lord's Mansion.
Hu Chaozong held the city, quietly waiting for the Dugu Clan to come knocking.
The heads of the Luo, Yao, and Luo clans came forward, leading half the city's forces to Seven Broken Mountain. Once they lured Lin Heng there, they would kill him on the spot.
As for Lin Heng himself, the news he received was that Hu Chaozong was going to stage a ploy of besieging Wei to rescue Zhao.
"Young Master Lin, please!" The middle-aged man in armor personally pulled a carriage before Lin Heng and said respectfully.
Lin Heng raised a brow, gave a slight nod, then stepped straight into the carriage and took a seat.
The convoy of over a hundred people borrowed the cover of night and headed straight north of the city.
Not long after, Hua Qi's graceful figure seeped directly in through the side window of the carriage. She said warily, "Lin Heng, have you sensed a very strong killing intent?"
"Killing intent? I haven't felt it!"
"Don't you think it's strange?"
"Oh? What's strange? Tell me." Lin Heng had both hands behind his head, half-reclining with a look of easy comfort.
"The City Lord's Mansion clearly already knows the teleportation array at Seven Broken Mountain is real, so why insist on making you go along to confirm it again?"
"What else could it be? Of course it's to kill me! It's inconvenient to make a move inside the city, and outside the city they're afraid of exposure, so choosing Seven Broken Mountain as the location is just right!"
"Σ(*???*) Huh? They really want to kill you!" Hua Qi was greatly shocked.
"Why would it be like this? Could your identity have been exposed!?"
