The Ghost Army

She wondered if anybody had tried to rescue Nan Ningxin after Gu Yunjing imprisoned her at Heavenly Palace Cliff.

If nobody tried, Gu Bailu wouldn't be able to find out who was behind her.

But she wasn't too worried, because her enemy would have to take action if they were ambitious. Furthermore, they had lost a capable subordinate.

Ah Luo fell asleep in the carriage. Gu Bailu looked at her and envied her lack of worries.

However, Ah Luo suddenly opened her eyes. "My lady…"

"What's wrong?" Noticing the odd expression on her face, Gu Bailu hurriedly took a careful listen, only to find that it was quiet.

It was still early at night, and a lot of people should still be on the busy streets of Pale Emperor City.

However, nothing could be heard outside except the rustling wind.

The passers-by had disappeared, either killed or scared off.

There was no scent of blood in the air, so they had probably been scared off.
