By now, it was late in the evening.
Amid the thunderstorm, the number of pedestrians had dwindled significantly.
Even the patrolling government officials and Imprisonment Officers were nowhere to be seen.
Only a few shops and government offices along South Street still had people on guard.
Dull yellow lanterns swayed, illuminating the surroundings and faintly revealing the sheets of falling rain.
Taking advantage of the deserted streets, Chen Yi slipped over to the Liu Family residence, not far from the Governor's Office.
He scanned the area.
Seeing no sign of Liu Lang, he deactivated the Black Tortoise Concealment Technique, and his True Essence began to circulate freely within him once more.
Then, he shattered a piece of rubble with a palm strike before his figure vanished into a corner.
Before long, Chen Yi saw a sneaky figure approaching.
When the man arrived, he surveyed his surroundings. Seeing no one, he let out a soft sound of confusion.
"No one's here?"
