Chapter 198: Brought Good News


Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


General Manager Zhao and a few other elders were anxiously waiting outside. When they saw Ren Zeyuan and Yan Hua finally walk out, they couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.


“That’s great. You’re finally out. The City Lord–”


Seeing the pale faces of the two, everyone’s expressions changed. General Manager Zhao hurriedly took a step forward and said, “What happened? Did something happen to the City Lord?”


The elders rushed over after receiving the news. It was already too late. They had wanted to follow them down to check the situation, but the array had already become extremely unstable due to the damage.


If they rushed in rashly, they might accidentally break into the cracks of the array. It was easy for them to lose their lives and also speed up the loosening of the seal. That was why they did not enter. They only chose to reinforce the array formation outside. This would also be convenient for them to receive Ren Zeyuan and Yan Hua.


Ren Zeyuan and Yan Hua were meditating and recuperating. They only recovered after a moment. Facing everyone’s doubtful gazes, they shook their heads and said with an unsightly expression,


“The situation on the City Lord’s situation is very bad. I didn’t expect these things to be able to deceive people. The outer perimeter of the array formation has already been corroded and a.s.similated. Even the interior has been affected. We have almost fallen into its trap.”


Everyone’s expression changed drastically when they heard that. General Manager Zhao was extremely loyal to the City Lord. Right now, he was most concerned about the City Lord’s safety. “What about the City Lord? How is the City Lord?”


Thinking back to the City Lord’s last words when he pushed them out, it could be heard that the City Lord’s voice was extremely weak. He was like an arrow at the end of its flight. He wouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer.


Ren Zeyuan said with difficulty, “The City Lord said that even that place has been contaminated. He wants us to be careful the next time we come. Moreover, he should be at the end of his rope. We must refine the antidote pill as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the poison enters the lungs, even an immortal would not be able to save him.”


The City Lord’s Estate and the other elders of the Alchemy a.s.sociation did not expect the matter to be this serious.


General manager Zhao knelt down to Yan Hua and the others with a plop.


“General manager Zhao, what are you doing! ?”


“We are at a critical juncture, and it concerns the survival of the City Lord and the City Lord’s Estate. We implore the Alchemist a.s.sociation to lend us a helping hand. After all, the City Lord is suffering for the sake of the capital. Otherwise, based on his cultivation, why would he be reduced to such a state?”


The information revealed by general manager Zhao’s words seemed to be that there was another reason behind the City Lord’s strange illness. Moreover, there was an unknown secret hidden within it.


Yan Hua sighed. “I also didn’t expect this to happen to such an extent.”


At first, he didn’t know that when he was invited over by the people from the City Lord’s Estate. They announced that they were only treating the City Lord’s strange illness. Later on, Yan Hua and the others realized that this matter wasn’t simple. Ren Zeyuan, general manager Zhao, and the others couldn’t keep it a secret anymore. Only then did he tell Yan Hua and the others the truth step by step.


Originally, Yan Hua didn’t want to get involved in this mess. However, he was already involved at that time. It was impossible for him to get out of it. It was impossible in the beginning, and even more impossible now. At the same time, he also tied the entire Alchemist a.s.sociation to the City Lord’s Estate.


He sighed and a streak of spirit energy burst out from his fingertip. Then, it turned into a stream of light and dissipated in the air.


“I’ve already sent a message to president He. He will rush over when he receives the news. By the way, Vice City Lord, you said earlier that there was news of the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf appearing in the surrounding towns. Have you found the inner core?”


Ren Zeyuan shook his head. “There’s still no news from the people I sent out. I think it’s probably not found.”


“And I’ve looked for all the places around the capital that I can find. I can’t find it in a short time. I’m afraid that even if I find it with great difficulty, the City Lord won’t be able to hold on until then.”


Yan Hua nodded. “From the situation just now, it will be in these two or three days. We must refine the pill as soon as possible. Otherwise, no matter who comes, it will be useless.”


“But the other materials are almost done. The only thing missing is the inner core of the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf. Where are we going to find it in a short time?”


In an emergency, there was definitely not enough time to search from other towns. They could only place their hopes on the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf, which had fallen into the hands of Jin Daya and then been released.


“Now we can only pray that the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf is still in the capital. Even if we have to search the entire capital and dig three feet into the ground, I will find it.”


Suddenly, someone seemed to have thought of something. “Didn’t Lin Bai go out to search? If he really finds it, we won’t have to worry about it.”


“Forget it. We don’t know if he has the ability. So many of us haven’t even seen a single strand of wolf hair. Could he find it by himself?”


“It’s a last resort. In short, we can’t put all our hopes on him.”


Ren Zeyuan and the others were worried, but most of the people in the City Lord’s Estate were still in the dark. By the time Lin Bai returned to the City Lord’s Estate, it was already sunset.


Unexpectedly, there were many guards in the City Lord’s Estate. Now that he didn’t see any of them, he didn’t know what they were doing.


General Manager Zhao and the others also received the news that Lin Bai had returned. General Manager Zhao, who was worried about the City Lord, said impatiently, “So what if he’s back? Are you afraid that he’ll run away?”


“But Lin Bai said that he brought back the inner core of the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf.”


Hearing this news, general manager Zhao, Yan Hua, and the others were all energized. They had never been able to find the inner core of the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf, but they didn’t expect that Lin Bai had actually found it!
