Chapter 1604: A Fugitive’s Flight (1/2)

The large-scaleafter Jiang Chen passed through the restriction zone

Inspecting the scene together with the three houses’ upper echelons, Xuan Zan nodded after a ? There are clear traces of dae to the formations This must be where the suspects went inside the second level They can’t be very far, especially the impostor We ht, our houses can’t afford this sort of hu to lift the restrictions, or shall I do it by force?” Kuang Han glared coldly at the chief warden

The latter threw a helpless glance at Prince Huo, waiting for his decision

The crestfallen prince waved his hand “Lift them then” He raised a cupped fist salute at the three houses “Gentlemen, this junior has but one request Please refrain fro the foruides, you’ll certainly find the suspects if they’re really inside”

“Huide us first We reserve the right to act as we see fit if we can’t catch our targets!”

Focused on their murderers, the noble houses paid little heed to his request They ht the two, but they’d naturally hed Even if he was unwilling, did he truly have a choice when furious e down his neck?
