Evening.
On the long corridor outside the wooden hut, Chen Mu lay in a rocking chair, eyes half-closed as he observed the distant Ghost Gate, "Is it really Qingyang City causing you trouble?"
"After your disappearance, we caught several spies, which confirmed this fact," Liang replied.
"But Qingyang City is not short of experts, so why just trap us beside the River of Oblivion? Continuing to send people to clean us up shouldn't be difficult," Chen Mu wondered.
"We suspect that Qingyang City might have some plot against the city lord.
"Before the city lord left, he used a Secret Technique to scatter and hide the Netherstone among the people of Feng'an City. Wherever the Yin Spirits of Feng'an are, that is where the city lord will appear when he returns from Beyond Heaven."
"Encircling without killing is probably just to wait for the city lord's return," Lü Thirteen said, looking uneasy.
"Then why not just capture you all?" Chen Mu asked, puzzled.
