Chapter 5625 See Through

In the secret room under the City Lord's Mansion, a figure in a black robe was kneeling in front of a fiery red orb.

"Your Majesty, please forgive my incompetence. Until now, I have not been able to obtain the key and map of the Imperial Treasury."

The man in black robe swallowed and said with his head down.

"You're useless! I gave you so many resources, but you can't even handle such a small matter!"

"The key to the imperial treasury is related to my future as an emperor. If you still can't handle this matter, I will come and take your head in person!"

A low roar, neither male nor female, came from the orb.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please give me more time."

A drop of cold sweat ran down the black-robed man's forehead, and he quickly made the promise.

"Humph, this is the last chance!"

With a cold snort, the light on the fiery red orb disappeared.

The man in black robe stood up with a grim look on his face and clenched his fists.

"It seems that we must speed up the progress. Let's notify Xiong Tiangang and his gang first and clear the obstacle of the City Lord's Mansion tonight."

As the man in black robe spoke, he took out something from his bosom and was about to contact the bandits hiding in the underground of the major slaughtered families.

However, for a long time after he sent the message, no one responded to him.

"What's going on? Are these guys crazy? How dare they ignore my contact!"

The man in black robe was already in a bad mood after being scolded by his master. Now, Xiong Tiangang and others dared to ignore his communication, which immediately aroused his anger.

The man in black robe immediately decided that he must teach these ignorant guys a lesson tonight!

Thinking of this, the man in black was about to try to contact Xiong Tiangang's gang of bandits again.

Suddenly, a strange feeling came over him, and the man in black robe immediately stopped what he was doing.

"Someone broke my formation?"

Feeling this strange source, the man in black robe couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

He immediately turned around and quickly returned to the cabin through the secret passage.

Just as he removed his disguise and sealed the entrance to the secret passage again, three figures pushed the door open and entered.

"Ok?"

Zhang Yifeng raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man in front of him who was over fifty years old.

"Ahem, what are you three doing here?"

The old man looked at Zhang Yifeng and the other two and asked doubtfully.

"Are you the chief steward of this city lord's mansion?"

Zhang Yifeng did not answer his question, but asked back with a smile on his face.

"That's right, I, Gu Huang, am the chief steward of this city lord's mansion."

Gu Huang nodded and directly acknowledged Zhang Yifeng's guess.

"Ha, that's right."

Zhang Yifeng nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "You are the only one who can hide beside City Lord Xiang for so long and know exactly when he will send people to investigate the tragic cases of the extermination of major families."

Hearing this, Gu Huang was stunned on the spot as if struck by lightning, and all the words he had prepared were swallowed back into his stomach.

"You, who are you guys?!"

Gu Huang let out a low roar and suddenly took several steps back.

"Can't you bear it anymore?"

Zhang Yifeng looked at the fifty-year-old man in front of him with some disappointment and said in a calm voice.

"Damn it, if you want to ruin His Majesty's plan, you should also see if you have the ability to do it!"

Gu Huang roared, and then a ball of purple light flew out from his palm and headed straight for Zhang Yifeng's face.

"You have such a small trick, and you dare to show off in front of us."

Xuanyuan Li said coldly, waved his hand and blasted the purple light aside.

When Gu Huang saw that Xuanyuan Li could so easily knock away his powerful attack, a look of horror suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Oh no! These guys are much stronger than me. I must escape first!"

Gu Huang gritted his teeth, thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and he was about to use a secret method to escape from this place.

But before he could make any move, the chill on his neck made him stop.

The chill penetrated into his body through his skin, blocking all the spiritual veins in Gu Huang's body.

"Go ahead and kill me, Your Majesty will avenge me!"

Gu Huang looked at the sword at his neck and growled.

"Although I don't know who is behind you, but as far as I know, there are few people among the nine young supremes who would avenge their subordinates."

Zhang Yifeng put one hand behind his back, came in front of Gu Huang and spoke in a calm voice.

Hearing this, Gu Huang's originally tough guy look suddenly relaxed.

"Who are you exactly, and why do you know so much about the Young Supreme?"

Gu Huang stared at Zhang Yifeng with resentment and questioned him viciously.

Zhang Yifeng had no interest in answering Gu Huang's question.

I thought that this trip would allow me to face the mastermind behind the plot to build Beihai City, but now it seems that this guy is just a pawn.

With this thought in mind, Zhang Yifeng began to search the cottage.

After a while, he found the entrance to the secret passage hidden by Gu Huang.

Later in the secret passage, he found the fiery red gem that Gu Huang used for communication.

But at this moment the orb was silent. Even if Zhang Yifeng poured his magic power into it, the orb did not react at all.

"It looks like a magic weapon for one-sided communication."

After checking for a while, Zhang Yifeng discovered that this orb could only be contacted unilaterally by another holder.

After realizing this, Zhang Yifeng simply refined the gem with a ball of spiritual fire.

"Come on, let me see how hard your bones are."

As soon as Zhang Yifeng finished speaking, Xuanyuan Li grabbed Gu Huang's neck and followed him to the reception room of the City Lord's Mansion.

On the way back to the reception room, the guards in the City Lord's Mansion also noticed something strange about the three people.

Especially the steward Guhuang who was grabbed by the neck and carried away by Xuanyuan Li.

Seeing this, some guards wanted to step forward to stop it, but were stopped by people around them.

After all, the city lord had told them when he left that no matter what Zhang Yifeng and the other two did in the mansion, they should not interfere.

After returning to the reception room, Xuanyuan Li threw Gu Huang to the ground.

"Cough cough."

Gu Huang had difficulty breathing as he walked along, and he started coughing immediately after falling to the ground.

After barely standing up, he subconsciously looked around.

As a result, he saw Xiong Tiangang lying lifeless on the ground and the bodies of the two men in black robes.

"It turns out that these rubbish have been killed by you!"

Gu Huang gritted his teeth and growled, no wonder no matter how he tried to contact Xiong Tiangang and the others before, they didn’t send any message back.

"Oh, not only them, the other bandits you arranged in Beihai City are also being cleared out."

Zhang Yifeng chuckled and spoke in a calm tone.

Gu Huang's pupils constricted when he heard this. His eyes fell on Xiong Tiangang's body and he immediately understood everything.

"Damn you, you rubbish, is that all you can do?"

"Humph, I'm different from this bunch of rubbish. Don't even think about getting any information about His Majesty from me!"

Gu Huang snorted coldly and shouted with a look of being ready to die.

"Then why not test your loyalty?"
