Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shen Jingqi rushed to the black-robed man, pressing a dagger against his neck. "You've lost. Tell me, what exactly is your conspiracy?" Shen Jingqi asked loudly, his eyes filled with anger and determination.
The black-robed man let out a burst of mad laughter: "Lost? You think this means you've won? My plan is already in its final stage, and no one can stop it!" As he spoke, his body suddenly turned into a stream of black smoke, disappearing into the air.
Shen Jingqi stood there, stunned. He hadn't expected the black-robed man to escape so easily. "We can't let him get away. He will definitely continue to carry out his plot!" he shouted, his eyes showing a trace of urgency.
Xu An and Lin Yu struggled to stand up and said, "What should we do now? We have no idea where he's gone, nor what his plan is."
Shen Jingqi pondered for a moment and said, "We need to go back to where the castle once stood. Maybe there will be some clues there."
