Zhang Xun sat alone outside the City of No Redemption, naturally waiting for Xiao Shu.
Xiao Shu had stolen the elixir and fled, escaping for a thousand miles until he had long since reached the end of his road. There was no need to recount in detail how arduous this flight had been, how he had battled wits and courage all the way here.
Now, his sleeves were empty. The wealth he had handed over as Life Gold had exhausted everything he possessed.
And these forty days were the only time he had managed to fight for himself.
These forty days, Zhang Xun had to respect.
The formidable martial force displayed by the City of No Redemption defended the rules of Life Gold.
Cast out of the city by the Monarch of Sin, Zhang Xun endured immense humiliation as he sat alone facing the city gate.
Everyone could feel his determination to capture and kill Xiao Shu.
And Jiang Wang, who was still standing on the long street at this moment, had no choice but to begin considering making a run for it...
Having his name called out on the streets of the City of No Redemption was, of course, a dangerous thing.
Though after the Star Moon Covenant, the Zhuang Kingdom could no longer openly do anything to Jiang Wang. Though Du Ruhui had been punished naked on Yujing Mountain, and his injuries might not even have recovered yet...
When it came to that ruler and minister, no suspicion was too excessive.
But before that...
Jiang Wang turned to look at Xiao Shu. "Do you need me to contact Chu Yuzhi for you?"
Of course he shared a bond of brotherhood with Zuo Guangshu, and of course he had felt a deeply precious affection at Duke of Huai Mansion.
