Memories are like ever-blooming stone flowers, yet only the self believes them to be eternal. Ultimately, what they bring is the ruthlessness of reincarnation; perhaps no one will wait this time.
"Did you know? The Demon Prison has been blown up!"
"How could I not know? The commotion yesterday was huge!"
"And that's not all! I heard that when a demon died, countless other demons fled!"
"Chaos is coming, and Central City is in even more chaos. I'd better make my escape as soon as the lockdown is lifted!"
"Wait a minute!" A fat man came up to the other man. "Who are the demons that escaped?"
"How should I know? I'm not a demon!" the man said, then ignored the fat man and turned to leave.
The fat man frowned. "The master hasn't returned for many days. Could it be that his identity has been exposed?"
"Hey Fatty, what's up?" Killer Qiang passed by and saw Fatty's worried face.
The fat man shrugged and said, "It's nothing. The master is missing, and I'm looking for him right now!"
Upon hearing the fat man's words, Killer Qiang hurriedly pulled him aside, saying, "I have something to tell you. Come with me."
"What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?" The fat man asked, puzzled, but he still followed.
"Brother, let me tell you, that lord seems to be the one who blew up the Demon Prison," Killer Qiang said in a low voice.
"What?!" the fat man exclaimed.
"Don't get agitated. According to my information, he has already left Central City, but it seems that... he was seriously injured."
"What?! No, I have to go find him!" the fat man said nervously.
"Others would rather not know him and sever ties with him, but you insist on going to see him," Murderer Qiang said.
The fat man said irritably, "I've lived for so many years, and I've finally met a true genius. Of course, I'm going to cling to his coattails!"
Murderer rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Fine, go ahead. The lockdown will probably be lifted soon. But I'm warning you, no matter what happens, if you haven't seen him, don't reveal your relationship with him."
"I know, I know!" the fat man said impatiently.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing. Murong Xiaoxiao's older brother is still wanted for you! You'd better keep your distance. If you run into her while looking for Gu Liyan, well, tsk tsk tsk," Murderous Strong reminded him.
The fat man swallowed hard and nodded somewhat nervously. "I...I understand. I'll pack up and get ready to leave the city."
The fat man left in a panic, and one of Killer Qiang's men stepped forward, "Boss, how are we going to explain this to them?"
Murderer Qiang frowned and said, "Tell them it was a fox demon, that it escaped from the central city, and that it's dead!"
"This..." the subordinate hesitated.
"Don't overthink it, that person's supernatural powers are even stronger than the one from ten years ago!" Killer Qiang said with a serious expression.
The subordinate's expression changed, and he nodded, "Yes, boss, I'll tell them right away!"
