Chapter 65

At this moment,

Zhao Chi's face was gloomy, and he cursed in a low voice!

He cursed Zhao Gao,

for causing them to be exposed,

and being targeted by a powerful Grandmaster!

This man in the black robe ran for his life with all his might, his heart filled with fear and cold...

He looked back from time to time to observe the situation behind him, terrified of seeing pursuers chasing him down!

After observing many times and not seeing anyone catching up from behind, he let out a long sigh of relief!

He thought he had already shaken off the pursuit!

"This matter must be reported to my lord as soon as possible..."

The man in the black robe gritted his teeth fiercely, his heart feeling somewhat cold: "If I don't report the news of a Grandmaster immediately and my lord makes a misjudgment, that would be a huge disaster..."

Thinking this,

the man in the black robe suddenly increased his speed,

heading in the direction of their base, his figure flickering like a ghost, leaping and bounding...

In the blink of an eye,

he disappeared into the darkness,

approaching the direction of the South Gate...

Suddenly,

the man in the black robe's footsteps came to an abrupt halt,

his gaze falling into the shadows of a corner ahead,

and he saw a familiar figure appearing there under the moonlight!

A tall figure draped in a black robe and wearing a mask was standing in the shadows, under the moonlight...

The eyes beneath the mask of the person shrouded in the black robe were like two cold stars, emitting a chilling light!

"My lord?!"

Seeing this person, the man in the black robe was startled, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes: "My lord, why are you here?!"

In the dark shadow,

the lord mentioned by the man in the black robe,

stared at the man in the black robe who had fled back with a sharp gaze and asked in a deep voice: "Zhao Chi, what is going on?!"

"Why are you so panicked?!"

"And on your body... there is the scent of blood?"

The lord in the dark shadow spoke with a hint of coldness in his tone, and his sharp gaze made the man in the black robe, Zhao Chi, feel his heart skip a beat.

"My lord..."

Zhao Chi hurriedly replied: "Something has indeed happened; the people sent by the Ghost came to hunt us down..."

"The Ghost?!"

The lord raised an eyebrow: "What is going on?!"

"My lord..."

Zhao Chi said: "That Ghost is the one who killed Zhao Baili, and furthermore..."

"It can now be confirmed that this Ghost is the remnant of the Annan Army!!!"

"Although it cannot be confirmed yet who exactly the remnant of the Annan Army is..."

"However, it is certain that the remnants of the Annan Army have returned for revenge!"

Boom!

As soon as the words fell,

the lord in the darkness suddenly became sharp-eyed: "What is going on?!"

"Report to me in detail immediately!!!"

"Why did you come into contact with the Ghost's people?! Why can you be certain that the other party is a remnant of the Annan Army?!"

Hearing the lord's increasingly cold tone in the darkness, Zhao Chi became panicked and cried out: "My lord, all of this is the fault of that dog Zhao Gao!!!"

"That dog Zhao Gao was tracked by the Ghost's people..."

"He led the Ghost to the secret location where we were meeting, which resulted in us being targeted by the Ghost..."

Hearing this,

the light in the lord's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt: "Zhao Gao, he was exposed just like that?!"

"This Zhao Gao is truly not worth using!!!"

"I had long suggested having him executed..."

"But I was refused, and now he has become a hidden danger..."

"What has happened to him now?!"

The lord's tone was filled with dissatisfaction toward Zhao Gao.

"Zhao Gao, he has probably been killed by now..."

Upon mentioning this, a hint of fear flashed in Zhao Chi's eyes: "The Ghost's strength is terrifying; it is highly likely he is a Grandmaster!"

"It's a good thing we ran fast!"

Zhao Chi wore the expression of someone who had survived a disaster: "If we hadn't run fast, we would probably be dead by now..."

"Their people were hunting me, but I shook them off..."

"A Grandmaster?!?"

The lord's expression flickered as he stared fixedly at Zhao Chi: "A Grandmaster... then how could you possibly have escaped..."

Countless thoughts flashed through the lord's mind.

Since the other party is a Grandmaster, then this subordinate of his,

how could he...

possibly escape?!

Unless...

In an instant,

"Swish!!!"

The expression on the lord's face turned extremely gloomy in an instant!

A flash of anger crossed his eyes, and he suddenly scolded: "Fool!!!"

"You shook them off?!?"

"Could it be... that you didn't think they let you escape on purpose..."

"And then used you as bait..."

"To go fishing?!"
