Chapter 177: Running out of time

The men in the room finished their conversation. Their footsteps came closer towards the door. 

The group stepped out of the room, not realizing that someone was right there just a few seconds ago. Fortunately, Xu Shan stepped out of the room at the right time. 

Xu Shan left the area and reached the inner area of the City, mixing with the crowd. The guards were different now, as if their shift had changed and different guards took their place. 

Unfortunately, the guards were still so disciplined that they didn't give any opportunity to Xu Shan to kill one. Even when the shifts were changed, the guards left together in groups, entering the Central area which Xu Shan wasn't allowed to enter. 

While the Inner Area of the City was luxurious, the Central Area was even more secure with all the famous clans having a building there. All the Royal Guards also lived there. That place was like a new world within the world itself.
