Are you suspecting that the Great Grand Warlock left something behind in the lotus pond?"
Jason stopped and looked at Yennie, asking.
Yennie was silent. She didn't want to know too much about the secrets of the City of Defense. Although this ancient city seemed to have never had any contact with the outside world in the past year, every single secret hidden here was enough to shake the entire world. They already knew many things about the City of Defense. What was more important? Was there really a need for them to know?
Once they knew that they could leave the outer city smoothly, would the outside world be safe?
She was not a timid person. She just didn't want to put herself in a situation where they couldn't control because of any unreasonable secrets.
"Let's talk about it after we get there."
Yennie let out a sigh, glanced at the white figure on Jason's back with her beautiful eyes, and then continued to walk toward the depths of the forbidden area.
Along the way, they did not see any corpses, nor any traces of fighting, which proved that the depths of the forbidden area were still in a safe state, but they did not know how long this state would last.
By the lotus pond.
There was a flash of fire.
The two stood in the distance and saw the personal guards of House Master, led by House Master Wei Qingtian, standing there with torches in their hands. They confronted Wei Qingyun and Wei Zipei on the opposite side.
"There are no outsiders here. Let's make it clear here."
Wei Qingtian looked at Wei Qingyun in front of him, and his voice was indifferent, without any emotion.
Wei Zipei stood next to Wei Qingyun, facing the guards of the home lord's mansion led by Wei Xiaotian, but there was no fear on her face. She just stood there proudly and confronted all the enemies by herself.
"Qingtian, are you really going to gamble the lives of tens of thousands of citizens in the whole journey to accomplish your so-called ambition and hegemony, and then search for it at all costs?" Wei Qingyun said coldly.
"This is not my ambition."
Wei Qingtian shook his head and said, "This is the mission of Wei City, and it's also the destiny of the Wei Family! Since the secrets of the city were discovered by outsiders a hundred years ago, we couldn't escape from this road and continue to carry on. The 40,000 residents of the city are still alive, but we've lost just a few dozen babies each year. If we don't take this road anymore, Wei City will lose its necessary and meaning to exist. The people outside will not sit idle and allow such an independent city to exist. They will do everything they can to destroy this city. No one from the 40,000 residents and the people they owe will be able to survive. If you are the master of the city, what choice will you make?"
