Mo Yan’s face suddenly changed, and he immediately strode forward, kicked him, and directly knocked him to the ground, angrily scolding, "Fumbling around, truly embarrassing the City Lord! Hurry up and clean this mess up!"
This sudden commotion interrupted the atmosphere at the scene. The envoy said, "City Lord, no need to be angry, leave it to us."
So he called some people over to clean up the scattered Crystal Stones on the ground. During this brief moment of distraction, naturally, there was no time to monitor, Shen Tang and Lu Xiao took the opportunity to exchange identities with the puppets they had prepared and stick the Concealing Talisman on themselves, silently leaving the team and slipping into the narrow alley between two warehouses.
Meanwhile, on the other side, all the goods were cleaned up and moved into the warehouse. Mo Yan’s task was completed, and he swaggered back with his team.
The beastmen on the Divine Hall side didn’t notice anything wrong, continuing with their original work.
Shen Tang and Lu Xiao seized the chance to hide in a secluded narrow alley and only poked their heads out after a patrol team passed by.
"Let’s check the north side first," Shen Tang whispered.
Lu Xiao nodded.
The two moved north along the shadows of the buildings, stopping occasionally to observe their surroundings.
The layout of the Outer Zone was too regular, every road looked similar, with gray-white buildings lined up like a maze.
There was no sound of people, only the orderly footsteps of the patrol team echoing from afar, sometimes near, sometimes far.
After walking for more than half an hour, they finally crossed the warehouse district and entered a denser area of buildings.
The streets here were narrower, and the buildings taller, squeezing the sky into a narrow slit. Occasionally, people in white robes hurried by, expressionless, like programmed machines.
Shen Tang quietly extended her spiritual power forward, exploring and avoiding patrols and pedestrians, deliberately choosing empty alleys to walk through.
She needed to find the entrance to the Central District.
But the Outer Zone was too large; just this area of buildings seemed endless. Every road looked similar, every building the same, making it easy to lose direction as they walked.
Lu Xiao suddenly stopped, pulled Shen Tang into the doorway, and watched ahead with caution.
"What’s wrong?" Shen Tang withdrew her spiritual power to prevent her energy from being exposed and detected, thus increasing her sensitivity to danger.
As she whispered the question, she suddenly realized something, and her expression froze as she followed his gaze to the side.
At the end of the alley, several figures were walking towards them.
The person leading them moved with a lazy, boneless demeanor, wearing a dark robe with golden patterns embroidered on the hem, completely different from those white-robed people.
With long, purple-red curly hair draped over his shoulders, eyes slender, skin extremely pale, his lips seemed blood-red as if stained, his appearance was both enchanting and handsome, resembling a poisonous poppy, a colorful, venomous butterfly.
Shen Tang recognized him, it was Mansa from their previous encounter!
He had several followers walking respectfully behind him, head slightly lowered.
"Holy Seat, the tribute inventory for Outer Zone this month has been organized, please review."
