There was no ambush.

However, in one of the venues at the highest point.

An old man was standing behind the window, peering through the crack to see where Lin Jinglong was.

Zhou Xuantian!

Dressed in a white robe, Zhou Xuantian, with his elegant and noble demeanor, was holding a cup of tea, lowering the curtain in his hand, and a cold smile on his lips.

"Then Lin Jinglong came in immediately."

"Arrest him as soon as he comes in!"

"Under the pretext of trespassing into the council chamber with weapons!"

Behind him was a group of young men wearing tunics, all of whom were members of the guard trained by the Elders' Council.

The group quickly rushed to the lobby on the first floor.

Lin Jinglong had just stepped through the gate.

Before he could even speak to the guards stationed there, more than ten people rushed down the stairs and surrounded him.

What are you trying to do?

"I'm here to see my wife!"

Lin Jinglong was surrounded by more than ten people.

A faint, cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He saw through their trick of luring him into a trap, but there was nothing he could do; Wu Yuehan's safety was the most important thing.

He couldn't let anything happen to his woman!

"Hmph! You trespassed into the council hall with a weapon, which is already a capital offense. If you surrender, we might try to save your life. But if you dare to resist..."

"Kill them without mercy!"

The leader was a burly man, probably around forty years old.

He had a hideous and terrifying scar on his face.

His gaze toward Lin Jinglong was as if he wanted to devour him.

At that moment, Lin Jinglong's eyes flashed, and he suddenly saw a figure burst out of the conference room on one side of the hall.

"husband!"

Wu Yuehan rushed into the corridor, looking worried.
