Heaven Dou Spirit Hall Branch.
The lights burned bright tonight.
On the surface, this was merely to prepare for tomorrow's public trial.
But those who truly understood the situation knew that tonight was the most dangerous time.
Xiao Wu would not remain quietly in the Secret Prison forever.
Nor would Tang Hao truly wait until tomorrow to be tried before the Heaven Dou Crown Prince Mansion, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Spirit Hall.
He would definitely act in advance.
Thus, the entire Branch Hall had long since become a net.
The outer layer consisted of the Crown Prince's Mansion's people.
The middle layer was made up of Spirit Hall Soul Masters.
The inner layer was a shadow blockade left behind by Gui Mei.
At the deepest point was the Secret Prison where Xiao Wu was held.
Hu Liena stood atop a tall building, looking down at the streets below.
The night wind stirred her long hair.
Her heart had remained tense.
"Will he really come?"
Di Yao stood beside her.
"He will."
Hu Liena looked at him.
"You're not guarding the Secret Prison?"
Di Yao said, "If Tang San sees me there, he won't go to Xiao Wu first."
Hu Liena froze for a moment.
Then she understood.
Tang San hated Di Yao most of all.
If Di Yao guarded the Secret Prison, Tang San's first reaction would definitely be to attack him.
But Di Yao did not want Tang San to make a move first.
He wanted Tang San to see Xiao Wu first.
To first stretch the tightest string in his heart to its limit.
Then make it snap.
Hu Liena said softly, "You're truly ruthless."
Di Yao did not deny it.
"Since Tang San came out of Slaughter City, his killing intent has become too heavy."
