Late at night, in the courtyard.
Within the temporary Grand Hall of the Eternal Alliance, a few people, led by Hongyi, gathered, each with an unsightly expression.
"Hall Master, the city is searching for us in earnest. If we keep delaying, our hiding place will be exposed," an elderly man said gravely.
Upon hearing this, Hongyi's pretty face turned cold, a green glint flickering in her eyes. "A city-wide search means the Imperial Court is truly determined! The Barbarian Clan is good for nothing, failing even to assassinate Nie Xu and instead alerting the enemy. They deserve to die!"
She was well aware of last night's incident where Demon Evil attacked the Yamen. Currently, only two forces in the city were capable of controlling Demon Evil: one was the Eternal Alliance, and the other was the Barbarian Clan. Since her people had made no rash moves, the identity of the Yamen's attacker was obvious.
