The other side.
After leaving the Li Mansion, the man in black did not leave via the main road, but instead plunged into the moat, swimming like a fish under the water, swiftly moving towards the inner city.
He never surfaced to breathe during the entire journey.
Nearing the inner city, he emerged silently from the river, not a drop of water on his clothes.
Just as he was about to enter the inner city, a cold voice suddenly came from behind: "Too slow, I've been waiting here for you for a long time."
?!
The man in black was startled with terror.
"This is bad!"
Though shocked, his reaction was swift; without turning his head, he retreated dozens of yards, instantly reaching into his cloak to grab the jade pendant, ready to crush it at once.
Since the opponent could pursue him all the way here, it means his identity had been exposed.
Now trapped in an ambush, it is difficult to escape; he must destroy the token first, or it will certainly implicate the lord!
