The Old Man looked at Xu Shan strangely. He wanted to scream, 'Only a fool would believe you!'
Fortunately, he controlled his urges. It was clear that Xu Shan killed them. Either that, or he was associated with the killer. In any case, he felt scared.
If anyone found out about the items on the table at the mont, it was disastrous for him and his clan!
He nervously looked around, making sure that there were no gaps in the wall from where soone could be spying. He also cast a barrier in the surroundings, to further isolate this place.
His face was covered in sweat. He looked at his granddaughter. His face made it appear as if he wanted to cry, but no tears ca out of his eyes.
"Didn't you say he was from a lower world?" He asked his granddaughter, covering his face in his palm.
He used to think that it was a simple request where his granddaughter wanted so identification for a new friend from the lower world that she found. Who would've thought that her little friend was going to turn this entire city upside down in less than one day.
"Are you alright?" Xu Shan asked the old man, whose drum-like heartbeat could be heard by everyone in the room.
The old man took a deep breath, slowly removing his hand from his face and revealing his ashen face.
"I'm... fine," he admitted, his voice wavering with worries.
He really felt scared for the future, especially with the kind of company his granddaughter was in now. He couldn't even be heavy handed with Xu Shan, now that he knew just what the young man was capable of.
Even in his peak, he couldn't kill the City Lord of this city, anwhile this young man killed him and the Royal Guards.
"You need to leave. Once the group from the Royal City arrives here to investigate, you'll be caught. Along with you, my clan will be destroyed as well. Before that happens, you need to escape!" The old man spoke, carefully gauging Xu Shan's expressions.
Xu Shan was amused how the man was just reiterating what he said, as if he was saying sothing new.
"Tell which is the City Lord's Seal, and how I can use that. I have no interest in staying in this city either."
The old man reached out his trembling hand, placing his finger over a small item that was made from a strange gem. It had the shape of a coin, but it wasn't currently. The coin had the royal seal, and the na of the City was carved under it.
"This is the token, but even with it, it will be hard to escape. The portal is in the center of the City, heavily guarded by the guards, especially now," the old man chid in. "Instead of taking the portal, you should go to another major city and try to get identification there."
Unfortunately, Xu Shan didn't care about his words. He had already wasted a lot of ti in this ss, taking the advice of the little girl.
Now he was going to use his own thod... The thod that these people would've called too cruel. He was going to follow the thod of a true villain.
He kept all the items back in his storage ring, before he stood up.
"I will handle the rest myself."
He left the little girl behind. Since she had no benefit to him, he decided to leave her behind, telling her to get to the Royal City on her own. He didn't want to carry a burden, especially since he was in a hurry and had all the information that he could need.
He left the room early in the afternoon after breaking the seal.
Stepping out of the room, he was completely calm, as if he was just going or for a stroll. No one in the clan knew what he was going to do.
After a short mont, his figure disappeared.
He appeared on the roof of a tall building, looking in the direction of the central area of the City, which was heavily guarded. It was as if there was a guard standing every ten ters.
The entire city had co to a halt. All the borders were sealed as well, with even heavier deploynt there.
Xu Shan took off his red robe, and kept it in the storage ring. Instead, he brought out a pitch black cloak that he donned over him.
Following that, he brought two black gloves, wearing one on each of his hands.
At last, he brought out a mask...the sa mask which he used when he had personally joined the war while hiding his identity.
He wore the mask on his face, before covering his hair under the hood, making it impossible for anything but his eyes to be seen.
At last, he pulled out two daggers, keeping them at hand.
"I just wanted to leave this city. If you want to bla anyone, bla yourself for blocking my path."
His figure flickered, as he moved like a shadow toward the Central part of the City.
However, he didn't go towards the location of the sealed portal, which was the most guarded place, especially since the City Lord's mansion had realized that items of the City Lord were missing.
Instead, his direction appeared to be the City Lord's Mansion itself.
Unlike the Portal, the City Lord's Mansion had a lower number of guards, since no one thought that after killing the City Lord, the killer was going to go there.
It was even more unlikely since all the big clan leaders and the strongest people in the city were in the mansion, offering their condolences.
At this point in ti, this was the last place that anyone expected to be attacked, which allowed them to distribute the guards elsewhere.
They didn't realize that the limited number of guards that were assigned to protect the mansion were dropping to the ground, one after another. A masked figure advanced towards the Mansion.
