Chapter 78: Clan Extermination, the So-called Profound World and Sensing Profound Realm

Their manner of death was bizarre. There wasn't a single injury on their bodies, but... their hearts were gone!

In the inner hall of the City Guard's Mansion.

Duan Jue wore a smile, seemingly quite interested in the purpose of Xu Guang's visit.

Naturally, Li Zongkang stood behind him like a shadow, just as always.

Xu Guang didn't beat around the bush. "Marshal Xu Guang greets Lord City Guardian," he said softly.

"Marshal Xu, there is no need for such formalities. What brings you to my mansion?"

"I intend to leave the city," Xu Guang replied quietly. "However, with the recent changes outside and the Water-Born Celestial Stele, I was hoping you could offer some guidance, Lord City Guardian. I also wish to know about that mysterious ghost shadow."

Duan Jue smiled faintly, turning his gaze to Li Zongkang instead. "I told you Marshal Xu wouldn't be as aloof as you."

It sounded like a joke, but Xu Guang's heart stirred. He seemed to realize something.
