"You want to go now?"
The Music Emperor was extremely astounded by Fenghao's request. He hadn't expected that Fenghao would actually be so impatient.
"That's right. If this period of time passes, it might be of some use." Fenghao said with a faint smile. Furthermore, he was confident that he could convince the City Lord to stand on his side.
"Isn't this too dangerous?" Le Huang furrowed her brows. Feng Hao was undoubtedly putting himself in danger. The City Lord had already been implanted with an Immortal Gu, it would be very difficult to convince him.
Most importantly, no one knew where the Immortal was. But they could guess without a doubt that the Immortal was definitely in Drifting Cloud City. However, they had no way of finding out where the other party was hiding. If the Immortal was in the City Lord's Manor, Feng Hao's trip would be akin to walking into a trap.
"If we want to gain something, someone has to pay the price." Fenghao smiled and said, "Moreover, this matter needs to be done by someone. Your identity is not suitable. As for Nangong Wuji, there is no need to talk about him. He looks like a hothead and is not suitable for negotiation."
"That's true." Empress Le faintly smiled, while Nangong Wuji rolled his eyes.
"Don't you have a map of the City Lord's Manor? Let me take a look. We should move as soon as possible, there's no time to lose." Fenghao nodded. Soon after, Empress Le took out the other map and let Fenghao carefully examine it.
After a while, Fenghao finally memorized the location of the entire city governor's mansion. Immediately, he nodded his head and quietly left the inn, heading towards the city governor's mansion.
After leaving the inn, Fenghao clearly sensed that the number of patrolling guards on the streets of Cloud Water City had increased. The originally quiet night was now brightly lit, causing many people to be alarmed.
Faced with this situation, Fenghao could only shake his head. Once again, he carefully concealed his whereabouts. He did not allow the guards to detect even the slightest trace of him.
It had to be said that the security was even tighter. Even Fenghao had to expend quite a bit of effort in order to stealthily arrive at the vicinity of the city governor's mansion from this inn. Just along the way, he had met no less than twenty guard patrols.
One could tell that the deputy commander's actions earlier were a little too big.
Fortunately, they had no idea who they were looking for, so they could only search blindly.
Feng Hao looked at the City Lord's Manor in the distance, pondering in his heart. Evidently, there was no need to use Little Meng's ability this time. He was going to personally go in and have a detailed discussion with the so-called City Lord.
However, this action was very risky, because Feng Hao was not sure if there were any Immortal organizations in the City Lord's Manor.
It would be best if there weren't any, but conversely, if there were experts from Immortal organizations guarding the place, he would be walking right into a trap.
Feng Hao thought about it again and again, but he still believed in his intuition. He had a feeling that the City Lord, whom he had never met, did not want to submit to Immortal. However, his sister was kidnapped and an Immortal Gu was planted in her body. There was no other way.
If he could move the City Lord this time, he would have made a huge profit.
Deeply inhaling a breath of air, Fenghao took a look at his surroundings. Soon after, he once again turned into a black shadow and snuck into the city governor's mansion. The size of the city governor's mansion was not any smaller than the deputy commander's mansion. Therefore, it was quite troublesome to search for it.
Especially under such circumstances, Feng Hao did not know where the City Lord was, so he did not dare to barge in recklessly. After all, the guards in the City Lord's Manor were not any weaker than those outside.
Looking at the patrolling guards in the City Lord's Manor, Feng Hao felt a headache. In this situation, he had to quickly find the location of the City Lord. Otherwise, he would not have the confidence to continue staying in the City Lord's Manor.
At this time, Fenghao was hiding in a dark corner, behind a huge pillar. In addition to the fact that it was night time, ordinary people would not be able to sense that there was a person hiding here. Even if there were guards patrolling by, Fenghao's aura was almost perfectly hidden, so they would not be able to discover him.
Feng Hao hid in the darkness and fell into deep thought. Where could the City Lord be right now?
According to the map given by Empress Le, he concluded that there were three most likely places in the City Lord's Manor. The first was naturally the bedroom, the second was the study, the third was the discussion hall, and the fourth was the garden.
After careful consideration, Feng Hao felt that something had happened at this time, and he would not be able to sleep. Therefore, the first place could be easily eliminated. The study was also a possibility, and so was the discussion hall. As for the fourth place, he could ignore it. Who would go to the garden in the middle of the night for no reason?
However, there were two choices in front of Feng Hao. One was the study, and the other was the discussion hall.
Just as Fenghao was hesitating, two groups of patrolling guards passed by each other. One of them suddenly stopped and said to the other group, "The City Lord is in the study room. The guards there need to be strengthened. You guys go over there. This area can be one less group of people."
When he heard this, Feng Hao was overjoyed. This was like sending charcoal in the middle of a snowstorm. Although he could guess that the City Lord was either in the study or the discussion hall, it would not be as fast as getting a direct answer like this.
The pair of guards also nodded in agreement. Soon after, they deviated from their original direction and walked towards the direction of the study. In the darkness, Fenghao also grinned. He used the pitch-black night as well as some concealment objects to quietly follow the group of guards.
After following them for a while, Feng Hao suddenly discovered that the number of guards around him had increased. There was a post patrolling almost every three steps, and he did not know how many hidden sentries there were.
Once again, he found a place to hide. This time, Feng Hao felt a headache coming on. Given the scene before him, it was impossible to sneak in, unless he killed all of them.
