Tantai Yu fell into deep thought.

He Zhong, standing to the side, exclaimed in surprise, "Could this be the city lord of Tianyu City, one of the twelve cities?"

"Lord Tianyu City?"

"Her real name is Wang Lixue. She is a top swordswoman in the Northern Region. Before the cataclysm, she reached the Earth Profound Realm Martial Emperor level at the age of thirty. After the cataclysm, she rose two levels and reached the Supreme Martial Emperor level!"

Looking at the portrait, He Zhong felt it perfectly matched his impression of Wang Lixue; the two faces almost overlapped.

Tantai Yu's expression grew increasingly grim.

Just then, some movement finally came from upstairs.

Lin Jinglong's figure gracefully landed. After three days of seclusion, he changed into a black outfit. His face looked somewhat pale, and his eyes faintly emitted a red light, making him look incredibly sinister and eerie.

"Something happened?"

Seeing Lin Jinglong emerge from seclusion.

Tantai Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She told Lin Jinglong everything about her conversation with Huangfu Kong and what had happened during the day.

His eyes revealed a hint of contemplation.

"Is Mr. Lin thinking about how to rescue Bai Yiyi and the others?"

"No, what I'm thinking is that it's a lie that Zhang Shentong said he could close the Demon Cave, but I do have a way to close it, it just takes some effort."

A mocking sneer appeared on Lin Jinglong's face.

"I hope the people of the twelve cities will not act rashly. If they injure my men, although I will still close the Demon Cave to save the Northern Region, these twelve city lords and their henchmen... will have to pay with their lives for Bai Yiyi and the others!"
