As the auction just concluded, experts from all sides grew restless. However, the mysterious man who had won the Undying Leaf did not leave, choosing instead to settle down within Ghost King City.
This move by the mysterious man undoubtedly left certain ambitious experts throughout Ghost King City quite helpless. Yet the place where the mysterious man resided was already being secretly watched by people from quite a few factions; the moment there was any sign of disturbance, they would immediately notify the faction behind them.
"How much longer?" Inside the secret passage, Xiao Yan asked his follower. Because ever since entering the secret passage, a full ten minutes had already passed, yet there was still no end in sight, prompting Xiao Yan to ask.
This secret passage was pitch black and devoid of light, but fortunately Xiao Yan and the follower were not low in strength, naturally finding the route with familiar ease.
"Milord, the exit is up ahead." Under Xiao Yan's cold hum, that follower could not help breaking out in a cold sweat, his finger instinctively pointing toward the exit ahead.
The fellow in front of him was an alchemist at the Emperor Grade Three level, after all; if he made the slightest misstep, he feared the City Lord would skin him alive.
"Thanks." Hearing this, Xiao Yan looked along the follower's finger, immediately spotting a secret door. Without any further hesitation, he leapt and abruptly left this place.
"What a terrifying fellow... Forget it, since the matter is already over, it is time for me to go back and report." The follower muttered to himself. Having spoken, he turned back the way he came, only he did not notice that inside the secret passage, a shadowy figure like a ghost was following closely behind Xiao Yan.
