Inside the City Lord's Mansion.
Yang Guang paced anxiously in the room with furrowed brows, repeatedly reading a letter in his hand as if worried about something.
"City Lord Yang, why the long face?"
Li Xiaobai chuckled as he, followed by several people, slowly walked into the hall.
"Young Master Li, you've returned so quickly. Could it be that you've already obtained the treasure within the Black Flame?"
Yang Guang's expression shifted as he glanced at Cai Kun, Xu He, and Xiong Da behind him, a hint of astonishment flickering in his eyes. Not even a full day had passed; how could he have returned so soon?
He hadn't even started on his little schemes for the two cities yet, which made things difficult for him.
"Heh, Black Flame, you mean this?"
Li Xiaobai casually gestured, and streaks of ink-black flames danced about, dimming the light in the entire hall significantly.
"This..."
Yang Guang's pupils suddenly contracted as he stared at the black flame, rendered speechless.
