The masked stranger took one last look at Lu Yu, then turned and disappeared into the night, as if his only purpose was to delay Lu Yu's steps.
As the masked stranger left, the disturbance within the City Lord's manor had already subsided, and the two mental marks representing the demonic Shura and Xue Ming had vanished from Lu Yu's range of perception.
Unwilling to let it go, Lu Yu entered the City Lord's manor after the battle ended.
The City Lord's manor was in shambles; all the buildings had been flattened by some brute force. Corpses were rarely seen, possibly because there weren't many people in the manor to begin with.
"Ah~~" Lu Yu heard a faint moan, suggesting there might still be survivors.
Following the sound, Lu Yu found a large pit, from the collapsed houses on its edge came the moaning.
