After dealing with Lin Bai, the black mist around Ren Zeyuan's body gradually dissipated, revealing his strange appearance. His facial features had changed, and he looked more like some kind of creature hidden under the human skin.
The City Lord laying on the ground was indeed the real city lord, and he was not a monster in disguise. As for why the pills did not have any effect, it was because the evil qi in his body had not been completely purified.
The interior of his body had long been invaded by the black qi. It was as if he was wrapped in a thick layer of filthy soil. No matter how magical the ninth-grade pill was, the medicinal effects could not be exerted.
However, what Ren Zeyuan did not know was that long before Lin Bai fed the pill, a few wisps of spiritual power wrapped in Ruoshui sword Qi had also entered the City Lord's meridians.
"I've waited for this day for too long."
