Chief Wu was also somewhat pessimistic, after all, the City Gate Officer's ambiguous, meaningful expression gave off an ominous feeling.

He sighed and said, "I will consult the family to see if they can extend protection to you just this once."

Yin Shen Palace felt slightly reassured, "Thank you, Chief."

Initially, Wu Xiang and Yin Shen Palace had traveled a long way without incident. They had discussed multiple times along the journey, both feeling that despite possible insults, the situation shouldn't be too severe, and there shouldn't be any threat to life.

After all, it was the Vice Sect Master summoning them.

However, the scene upon entering the city completely shattered their wishful thinking.

There were many experts around the city gate who had been waiting. Upon hearing the name Yin Shen Palace, their eyes immediately turned towards them, filled with unmistakable coldness and killing intent...

Moreover, throughout their journey into the city, these people followed silently behind them. Some even openly took out a Communication Jade to communicate with the Five Spirits Gu, spreading the news without any concealment.

Without needing to guess, Yin Shen Palace knew what message was being sent: Yin Shen Palace is here!

At that moment, Yin Shen Palace felt utterly hopeless.

Such heavy hostility.

Such blatant killing intent.

Completely unhidden.

It was as if these people were pointing at his nose saying, "Yin Shen Palace, I'm going to kill you!"

As they proceeded through the city gate towards the inn, more and more people flew in, joining the crowd, their eyes scrutinizing Yin Shen Palace like eagles and vultures.

Sharp!

Like arrows!

Yin Shen Palace couldn't help but feel his heart race the entire way! Cold sweat dripped down constantly, feeling an icy chill as if his body was at a corpse's temperature.

Never did he imagine that the hatred from the headquarters' Shi Family would be this intense! Wasn't it agreed that there would be no retaliation for deaths during the 'Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan'?

Swish... swish... swish...

The sound of air being cut through resounded continuously.

People from various families came to observe the face of Yin Shen Palace, more and more, making the already crowded street even more congested.

However, none of these people took action — they came just to familiarize themselves with Yin Shen Palace's face.

Before the Vice Sect Master Yan's summoning, no one dared to make a move.

Just cold, unrestrained glances, all fixed on Yin Shen Palace, with the same underlying meaning: So this is Yemo's master? Excellent! Excellent!

Yin Shen Palace's heart pounded, face ashen.

Chief Wu, who had just said he would ask the family to protect Yin Shen Palace, also started sweating coldly.

Because he realized...

Not only was Yin Shen Palace locked onto by countless killing intents, even his gaze was filled with killing intent.

If he were to return with Yin Shen Palace after the Vice Sect Master Yan's summoning... then they really might be departing together.

Chief Wu felt wronged: What does this have to do with my job!

Wu Xiang and Yin Shen Palace, trembling with fear, walked like two terrified little white rabbits among wolves.

Not daring to raise their heads, they trembled all the way.

Cold sweat drenched them as they shakily arrived at the inn.

Nervously managing to check-in.

Yin Shen Palace's mind was blank.

The entire way here, he had almost lost the ability to think.

His heart felt icy cold.

It's over, this time, it's truly over!

Almost unconsciously, he followed Southeast Commander Wu Xiang to settle into the inn, only regaining a bit of the sense of being alive once inside the room.

This time, Wu Xiang had not brought any attendants and came alone, so naturally, Yin Shen Palace had to attend to the superior, following him to Wu Xiang's room to help tidy up.

He also tried to get closer, otherwise, he was surely dead.

That group of people... quite a few even followed to the inn!

Now, the diverse killing auras from different individuals surrounded their room almost recklessly, crisscrossing and weaving...

Yin Shen Palace felt his calves cramping.

If I had known it would be like this... sigh, even knowing this, I had to come for the Vice Sect Master's summoning — Yin Shen Palace was filled with tears of regret.

How did I end up facing such a doomed situation?

This time, my life is over!

Yemo, you've truly brought your master to ruin.

...

The moment the two entered the room, before they had a chance to discuss anything, there was a sudden quiet outside the inn.

Soon after, all the killing auras that had permeated the inn quickly subsided.

Wu Xiang immediately halted Yin Shen Palace's actions, his face pale, hands trembling: "Pause, it seems a significant figure has arrived."

Yin Shen Palace was startled. Could it be someone from an even greater power also had their family members killed by Yemo?

Help me... I, I won't be this unlucky, right?

The feeling in Yin Shen Palace's heart of 'having reached the peak of life' had long since flown beyond the Nine Heavens.

He even made a resolution in his heart: as long as he survived this time, he would never set foot in the Main Sect again!

Peering out the window with Wu Xiang.

Outside on the street, a young boy in white, riding a blood-red horned dragon horse, slowly approached.

The person like jade, the horse like a dragon.

Elegance unparalleled.

Behind the white-clad boy, two elderly men followed leisurely.

Their momentum was astonishing.

As they walked, everyone on the street quickly made way.
