Chapter 60 - 49 Cooperation
"The commotion has stopped..."
Beneath an old residential building.
Ning Wu concealed herself in the shadows of a corner. Her eyes were closed as she sensed the events unfolding upstairs. However, due to the distance, her inspiration couldn’t reach, and she had to rely on various sounds to discern the situation roughly.
From the recent screams and sounds of fighting, one could infer:
A brutal battle had erupted between Crow and his seven men and Li Yi. Moreover, the battle had not gone smoothly, and the losses on their side must have been significant.
But everything happened too quickly and ended just as abruptly.
The fight had lasted only about a minute from start to finish.
"Did they succeed or fail? With so many people against one Li Yi, failure seemed impossible. Li Yi had only been cultivating for a month, whereas Crow and his men were very experienced cultivators. There’s no reason they couldn’t subdue a young boy." Ning Wu slowly opened her eyes, furrowing her brow slightly.
She wanted to go upstairs to check but held back.
She didn’t want to get directly involved in this matter.
Otherwise, if the investigators came, she couldn’t dissociate herself, and the Mysterious Object needed someone to take it. If Ning Wu got involved, then the Mysterious Object would become evidence, possibly attracting the investigators’ attention, leading to more trouble.
