He was indeed cautious and clever,
Knowing to call for a guard switch at the same time.
But what she didn’t know was that a few breaths later, the maidservant who went to summon help was knocked unconscious by Xu Jin and dumped into the bushes, after which he quickly caught up with the Vice City Lord’s Wife.
"Both of you, you’ve been on duty for half the day, it’s time for a rest, I’ve ordered some food and drinks for you, they’re in the flower hall, you can rest for half the day," the City Lord’s Wife ordered.
"But my lady, the safety of the City Lord..." The two guards were still worried about the severely injured Deputy City Lord, glancing at the quiet room.
"I’ve already called for guards Hai Yun and Hai Qian to take over, they’ll be here soon."
"Let’s wait for them to arrive before we go."
No sooner had these words been spoken than the City Lord’s Wife’s brows shot up, "You still don’t trust me? Hurry up and go, I have something to report to the City Lord alone."
With that said, the two guards of Ninth Layer Refining Star had no choice but to leave.
If the lady needed to report privately and wanted them to avoid it, it was clear she didn’t trust them; what reason did they have to stay?
The two Ninth Layer Refining Star guards took one last glance at the quiet room, saluted the Vice City Lord’s Wife, and hurriedly left.
The Vice City Lord’s Wife didn’t idle either; seeing the two leave, she directly pushed open the door and entered the quiet room.
Deputy City Lord Zi Shuo, who was healing his wounds, tensed when someone barged in, but seeing that it was his wife, his tension eased, and feeling the pain of his severe injuries, he began to drift off to sleep again.
The Vice City Lord’s Wife sat beside the bed; looking at Deputy City Lord Zi Shuo, who didn’t even have wings left from his injuries, tears welled up in her eyes as she gently wiped the sweat from his brow.
While wiping, her head tilted slightly, and she fell asleep.
And with her, Deputy City Council Zi Shuo also sunk into sleep.
Even Zi Yang, of the Seventh Layer Star Condensing Realm, didn’t have a Divine Soul Star Casting; let alone him.
The next moment, Xu Jin materialized, his left hand holding a nourished Vortex Blade Emblem, his right, a sharp blade.
Simultaneously, the Divine Soul Star Pattern activated, Breaking Evil was ready!
Then in a flash, Breaking Evil burst towards the sleeping Deputy City Lord Zi Shuo, as the blade viciously plunged straight into Zi Shuo’s eyes.
But the moment the blade entered, violent purple Thunder Light suddenly appeared around Deputy City Lord Zi Shuo.
A field of fine purple protective Thunder Light was about to form and expel Xu Jin’s blade.
But in that moment, the Divine Soul Secret Technique Breaking Evil thundered in, causing Zi Shuo’s Divine Soul to tremble violently; he was severely injured in an instant.
The purple protective Thunder Light forming around him dissipated instantly.
Xu Jin’s blade, which had pierced Zi Shuo’s eyes, plunged deeper, followed by a violent twist.
Zi Shuo’s legs kicked out straight, and then he was silent!
Without hesitation, Xu Jin swiftly extracted the Star Core from Zi Shuo’s Central Star Palace.
It was a purple Fourth Tier Middle Star Core.
The Lower Star Palace was empty.
Up until now, all the Alien Race individuals Xu Jin had seen cultivated a Single Star Palace.
There was nothing in his arms, but there was a pouch by the bed.
He picked it up and stuffed it in his embrace.
The next moment, Xu Jin’s figure vanished again, and he left the quiet room, quickly leaving the Deputy City Lord’s residence.
Actually, the Deputy City Lord should also have a private treasury, which could possibly be found.
But firstly, it was dangerous, and secondly, there wasn’t enough time.
Carrying too many things into battle was seeking death.
It wasn’t even 100 breaths after Xu Jin silently slipped away from the Fire Wood City when suddenly piercing alarm sounds rang out across the city, powerful presences began to frantically dash around.
Especially the energies of four Star Condensing Realm individuals surged from the city to whirl around the Deputy City Lord’s residence before starting their search outside the city.
Seeing this, Xu Jin hastily used his Invisibility to hide on the spot, completely motionless.
After the four had gone far away, he then started to move again, hurrying in the direction where Ji Hongli was waiting.
