The secret passage was narrow and long. The group of people walked in silence. Other than the City Lord, the others did not even dare to make a sound.
Gradually, a strong stench appeared. Everyoneâs expression changed. They wanted to say something, but when they saw the silent City Lord, who did not think much of it, they shut their mouths again.
However, their hearts pounded. They had seen big scenes scene before and were people who licked blood with the tip of a knife. However, this was the first time they had smelled such a strong fishy smell of blood.
Fatty inadvertently turned his head to look at the big man behind him. The big manâs face was ashen and his forehead was covered in sweat.
Hehe! He must have been scared silly!
Only then did fatty feel much better. According to his calculations, they were not far from the secret chamber. However, until now, he did not hear any strange sounds from inside. That meant that Lin Bai and the others had already left.
After a while, a large door appeared. There were two torches on both sides of the door.
When the burly man saw the large door and the patterns on it, his face turned even more green. He had a bad feeling, but he could not explain why he had this feeling.
Soon after, everyone entered the secret chamber.
The secret chamber was very wide. There were tables, books, and medicine bottles scattered around. Other than that, there was not a single person. Not to mention a person, there was not even a ghost.
However, the people behind the City Lord didnât care if there was anyone here. Instead, they stared blankly at the pool not far away. The pool was filled with blood, rotten meat, and corpses. There were even black hairs on the meat.
Soon, two people who couldnât accept the situation began to retch. They vomited all over the floor and couldnât even straighten their backs.
âThis, this, this...â
The man was dumbstruck. He wanted to ask something, but he could not speak a complete sentence.
The City Lord did not say a word. He walked directly to the side of the blood pool and walked around it. His brows were tightly knitted and relaxed.
âIt seems that they have never been here before.â
The City Lord turned around and came in front of everyone. When he said this, he looked straight at fatty.
Fatty looked back with an expressionless face. At this moment, he was still somewhat grateful to this big man. If it wasnât for this big man disturbing him several times, making him prepared, otherwise, if the City Lordâs eyes saw him, he would definitely be exposed.
The City Lord retracted his gaze and crossed his arms in front of his chest, revealing a thoughtful expression. He slowly said, âThen you guys go in the direction that fatty said. I will send people to reinforce you.â
âBut, but... City Lord, what is this place?! We have never heard of such a thing in the City Lordâs estate.â
The burly man finally managed to say something, but his legs and stomach were already trembling.
âOh?â The City Lordâs tone was casual. âThis is just my personal hobby, you donât have to worry about it.â
Hobby?!
How could a normal person have such a hobby?!
Donât be f * cking kidding!
The burly manâs heart trembled. Then, he thought of some dazzling news about the City Lord not long ago. Actually, Lin Bai was slandered. The City Lord was the real demon...
Thinking of this, the manâs body stiffened. He mechanically raised his head to look at the City Lord. The City Lord was also looking at him. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Run!
The nature of fear occupied the manâs mind. He turned his head and ran towards the direction of the entrance. His body left behind an afterimage on the spot.
Hiss!
The fatty sucked in a breath of cold air. This manâs speed was really too fast. In a flash, he arrived at the entrance and was about to disappear!
Should I run too?!
However, the corners of the fattyâs mouth twitched, and this thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
But soon after, just as the burly man was about to disappear at the entrance, his entire body fell heavily onto the ground. Several deep wounds that were bone-deep appeared on his back, and blood sprayed out as he turned into a corpse.
The remaining few people who had recovered looked at the City Lord in horror. Even if they wanted to run, their legs were too weak to move.
âHeh, you donât have to be afraid. As long as you donât have any thoughts towards me, I wonât do anything to you.â
A mocking smile appeared on the City Lordâs face. When he said this, he even inadvertently glanced at fatty, causing fattyâs scalp to feel like it was about to explode.
Hiss Hiss Hiss...
A black gas spread out from the City Lordâs body and enveloped the entire secret chamberâs Hall, including fatty and the remaining people.
One of them wanted to run again, but before he could even take a few steps, he was enveloped by the black gas. He stood stiffly on the spot and did not move at all.
After a long while, the black demonic gas dissipated. Everyone slowly regained their senses, and their eyes shone once again.
âIâm willing to do anything for the City Lord!â
âIâm willing to do anything for the City Lord!â
Seeing that everyone else was kneeling on one knee, and their tone was full of loyalty, fatty quickly imitated them.
âMm, all of you only need to listen to my commands. Everything else has nothing to do with you. All of you just need to become my emotionless blades, clubs, and tools...â
The City Lordâs voice was very calm, but there was a surge of magical power in it that caused people to gradually begin to completely trust the City Lord and do as he said.
In the depths of the secret chamber, in the blood pool.
The thin man used a hand to pinch his nose and tightly shut his eyes. His body was covered by the sticky and disgusting pool water, but even so, he did not dare to make the slightest movement.
Beside him, Lin Bai and Bai Xi did the same thing, not daring to move at all.
From the moment the City Lord and the others entered the secret chamber, to the moment the burly man died, and the moment the City Lord successfully controlled the others, they had all heard it.
Of course, the most thrilling part was when they heard the sound of footsteps lingering not far away. At that time, the thin man was still thinking that since he was about to be discovered, he might as well take this opportunity to gamble, to see if he could take the initiative to kill the City Lord.
However, his thoughts were seen through by Lin Bai. Lin Bai used one hand to hold him down tightly, so the thin man did not make such a move.
âWe will definitely help the City Lord to capture that demon Lin Bai and contribute to the world!â
âWe will definitely not let down the City Lordâs high hopes. We will definitely capture that demon Lin Bai, or else this world will fall into a sea of blood!â
âWe can not live under the same sky as the great demon Lin Bai. Even if we die, we will definitely capture him!â
Those few people began to shout loudly one after another. The burly man not far behind them was still lying in a pool of blood. However, it was as if this had never happened. Their expressions were calm, and their eyes were as still as water. Deep within their eyes, there was confusion.
âMm, next, you will have to find Lin Bai. No matter what method you use, it will be fine!â The City Lordâs voice rang out, and it was still as calm as ever. âAlright, we will leave this secret chamber first.â
Tap, tap, tap...
The sound of footsteps gradually became softer, and the secret chamber returned to silence.
