That person also noticed the movement behind him. He suddenly turned his head and met Lin Bai’s probing gaze. For a moment, the two of them looked at each other. The atmosphere instantly became extremely quiet.

The person in front of him was the fool Li that Lin Bai had met at the Alchemist Association previously! He blurted out, “Why is it you!”

Fool Li looked at him as if he was looking at a long-lost relative. “That’s great. Eldest senior brother, I’ve finally met you again.”

His appearance confirmed Lin Bai’s guess. This was indeed the Alchemist Association.

Lin Bai was surprised. He just couldn’t understand why there was such a magic array under the City Lord’s Estate that directly connected to the location of the Alchemist Association’s Forbidden Area. What was the connection between the two?

Or perhaps it could be said that the City Lord and the Alchemist Association’s President were related. From the time when the Alchemist Association had helped the City Lord’s Estate, Yan Hua and He Qingyuan seemed to know many secrets. Did they also know about the existence of this magic array, and

what role did they play?

Although the Alchemist Association and the City Lord’s Estate were two different forces, and the Alchemist Association also served the City Lord, The Alchemist Association’s headquarters wasn’t here. They weren’t so close to each other.

Even if the relationship was good, the two sides would still work together for a win-win situation.

However, from the City Lord’s Estate’s underground, one could directly reach the Alchemist Association’s Forbidden Area. There was actually such a formation. If the Alchemist Association had any ill intentions, wouldnt it be very easy to wipe out the City Lord’s Estate.

It would be the same for the other side too. How could one allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed? Lin Bai didn’t believe that the previous City Lord and the Alchemist Association’s President didn’t understand this logic.

Then what was the reason for their actions? Or could it be that both parties did not know? This was the act of a third party. Lin Bai frowned. Many thoughts flashed through his mind, so much so that fool Li called out to him several times but did not notice it.

It was only until his shoulder was suddenly patted that Lin Bai subconsciously wanted to attack. He thought that the people behind him had caught up and launched a sneak attack. Then, he quickly realized that the person beside him was fool Li.

“Eldest senior brother, what are you thinking about? I called you for a long time, but you didn’t respond.”

The spiritual energy on Lin Bai’s fingertip gradually dissipated. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Nothing. Do you know where we are?”

Fool Li answered without hesitation, ‘Of course I do. Isn’t this near the forbidden area of the Alchemist Association?” He looked around and didn’t now what he was thinking about. Then, he said mysteriously,

“But this isn’t the center. That thing’s spiritual sense can’t reach this place, so it’s very safe. There’s no danger.”

“That thing?” Lin Bai was a little confused. “What are you talking about?” He suspected that fool Li was talking about the monster that he had encountered here previously.

He didn’t know the origin and background of that monster, but one thing Lin Bai was sure of was that it was extremely powerful. However, because it was suppressed and sealed here, it’s power was reduced by more than half.

Back then, it had tried to bewitch Lin Bai to help it escape from the sealed place, but it had been seen through by Lin Bai. It had been so embarrassed that he had become angry and wanted to make a move. Even so, the coercion and pressure it had brought to Lin Bai was extremely powerful. In the end, if it

had not been for the Ruoshui sword appearing, Lin Bai might not have been able to escape

He seemed to have thought of something. The main body of the black fog had also been sealed and suppressed by the City Lord, and there was also a powerful creature suppressed in the forbidden area of the Alchemist Association. From the various methods it had used, it should not have been a holy

creature.

There seemed to be some inexplicable connection between the two, which gave people a bad feeling. For a moment, Lin Bai’s imagination ran wild, and he kept feeling that there was a layer of dense fog in front of him, as if there were a pair of invisible hands covering the truth.

Fool Li was still speaking clearly just a moment ago, but at this moment, he revealed a confused expression. “What did I say just now? ‘It was as if the person who spoke earlier was not him.

The two of them were like tongue twisters. When he thought of Fool Li’s sometimes delirious state, in the end, it was Lin Bai who was defeated. He said patiently,

‘It’s the monster that was sealed here.”

It was unknown which part of Fool Li’s mind was touched by these words. One could only see that he had a crazed expression on his face. He suddenly flared up. “The monster is here! We absolutely can’t let it out.”

“Don’t worry. It’s being suppressed well. It won’t run out.” Lin Bai tried to comfort him, but it didn’t have any effect. Instead, it exacerbated idiot Li’s madness.

“No, no, no. Master is gone, and the magic artifact is no longer of any use. Master once said that the monster will run out sooner or later.”

Fool Li’s gaze fell on Lin Bai, and he held onto his wrist tightly. His strength was shockingly strong, as if he was holding onto a life-saving straw. ‘Only eldest senior brother, eldest senior brother can subdue the monster.”

He clearly did not have any cultivation so where did he get such strength from. For a moment, Lin Bai was actually unable to break free. He frowned and could only say, “Alright, let go first. I’ll help you subdue the monster.”

Who would have thought that it was Fool Li’s turn to hesitate? He sized up Lin Bai, nodded, and then shook his head violently. With such strength, it was as if his neck could be twisted.

“No, now that eldest senior brother doesn’t have a magic artifact, it’s too dangerous. We have to find master first and find the things that master left behind.”

He muttered something that nobody knew what he was talking about. Lin Bai was already familiar with the situation where he kept mumbling and consoling him, “Okay, then let’s go find the things that master left behind.. Can you be rest assured now?”
