章節 517: Chapter 508 Restraint

At noon, when the sky was cloudless, the cold white sunlight bathed the entire Feng'an City.

The usually bustling streets were devoid of people, and the entire city lay eerily silent as if it were a terrifying ghost city.

Beneath the southern city wall, in a secluded courtyard overrun with weeds,

a group of seven or eight men tiptoed into the yard.

"Big brother, the City Lord Mansion said that the fox-faced scholar mostly roams outside the city. If we run out and happen to encounter him..." a short man voiced his hesitation with a full face of doubt.

"What? Having second thoughts?" The bearded man leading them gave the other a sidelong glance, "You don't actually believe those ghost stories from the City Lord Mansion, do you?"

"I tell you, that fox-faced scholar is not just roaming outside the city; the whole Feng'an City is his hunting ground," the bearded man snorted with disdain.
