Countless pairs of demonic eyes watched from the surroundings.
A single word from Wu Qiuyuan was all it would take. He didn't even need to identify Su Mu and the others as Taiping Captains; just saying he didn't know them would be enough for the demons to swarm them in an instant.
Never mind a Taiping Captain—even a Taiping Bureau Governor, or a Commander-in-Chief, would die here.
The hearts of Su Mu, Xu Chongyuan, Zhong Guizheng, and the others leaped into their throats.
Shi Ziran was already silently gathering his strength, preparing to snap his bonds.
He didn't know Wu Qiuyuan, but from the reactions of Su Mu and Xu Chongyuan, he could tell that the man before them knew who they were!
DRIP!
A drop of cold sweat trickled down Wu Qiuyuan's forehead.
Su Mu and the others were afraid, but so was he.
If he exposed Su Mu's group, they would surely die, but he wouldn't survive either.
'How could I be so unlucky?'
