Upon witnessing Chen Fei's actions, Liao Hanqin and the others couldn't help but be puzzled. Why were they running away just as the city gate was about to open?
The city gate only opened once a month, and they had worked tirelessly to obtain this information. Despair City was too perilous, and if they didn't leave tonight, they had no assurance they could hold out until the same day next month. Even lasting a few more days was a major concern, given the terrifying nightly patrols of Ghost Soldiers.
Wu Yongzhao furrowed his brows, considering various possibilities in his mind. He glanced at the city gate and, thinking of a potential scenario, his expression changed abruptly. He grabbed Jiang Ronghe, who was beside him, and disappeared from the spot.
Chen Fei's departure had left Liao Hanqin confused, but Wu Yongzhao's sudden exit made Liao Hanqin and Guo Shansheng from the Big Dipper Tower nervous.
