In the dungeon, Lin Bai leaned against the wall.

At this moment, Wu Ming and Hua Muqing entered.

Wu Ming hurriedly stepped forward, looked at Lin Bai, and asked, "Lin Bai, what's actually happening here?"

Lin Bai looked at Hua Muqing and said calmly, "Thanks to Alliance Leader Hua for speaking up just now. Do you know what decision the other alliance leaders have made?"

Hua Muqing was dressed in a colorful long dress, with a delightful face and skin like snow, making her particularly charming. However, a hint of cunning lurked in her eyes, suggesting she wasn't an easy character to deal with.

Hua Muqing was the only woman among the six major city alliance leaders, coming from Yuehua City.

"Thanks to you, the other alliance leaders completely believed Litian Ying's words. They've already decided to set off tonight to launch an attack on Nanxi City." Hua Muqing lightly pressed her red lips and chuckled.

Lin Bai shook his head slightly and smiled wryly.

"Wu Ming, inform Changsun Yun, Shu Xiang, and Meng Li to leave the Sky Desolation Secret Realm. If we're late, I'm afraid no one will be able to escape." Lin Bai looked at Wu Ming and said calmly.

Wu Ming's face turned somber. Looking at Lin Bai, he asked, "Lin Bai, is what you're saying true? Has Xuan Qing really set ambushes in Nanxi City, and simultaneously will other demon cities attack other human clan main cities?"

Lin Bai nodded slightly, "I think Alliance Leader Hua also has this thought."

Hua Muqing smiled slightly and said, "If the demon clan attacking Nanxi City is not from Giant Elephant City nor Xuan Qing, I would definitely believe Litian Ying's words and trust you as a traitor."

"But since it's Xuan Qing, I trust you more!"

Lin Bai looked at Hua Muqing and asked, "You seem to know Xuan Qing well?"

Hua Muqing shook her head and said, "He's an old adversary, naturally familiar with his schemes."

Lin Bai said, "Alliance Leader Hua, if you truly understand Xuan Qing, then you should know I'm not lying. Besides, I have a feeling that as long as Xuan Qing is alive, it's only a matter of time before the Sky Desolation Secret Realm falls to the demon clan."

Hua Muqing said, "Now isn't the time to argue about this. The other alliance leaders have completely believed Litian Ying's words. We're attacking Nanxi City today, and if we encounter ambushers, it will prove Litian Ying was lying."

"But Lin Bai, we can't afford to lose!"

"So, I've saved your life in hopes you'll take action."

Hua Muqing looked at Lin Bai and said.

Lin Bai frowned slightly, gazing at Hua Muqing, not understanding her words.

Hua Muqing said calmly, "I brought over more than five thousand warriors from Yuehua City, and just now, I had Wu Ming send back over four thousand warriors to Yuehua City. No matter what, I want to ensure Yuehua City's safety!"

"I've saved your life in hopes you'll protect Yuehua City for me, no matter what happens!"

Hua Muqing said firmly.

Lin Bai chuckled lightly and said, "Alliance Leader Hua, now I'm seen as a traitor to the human clan by the entire alliance army, just a mere warrior of the Second Level of the Life-and-Death Realm. Do you really trust me like this?"

"Aren't you afraid that after releasing me, I might just run away?"

"Aren't you afraid I don't have the strength to defend Yuehua City?"

Lin Bai asked with a smile.

Hua Muqing said, "I naturally won't hand Yuehua City to you solely. I have other plans."

"As for why I trust you so… it's because Wu Ming vouched for you with his life, guaranteeing you won't betray the human clan. That's why I trust you so much."

Upon hearing Hua Muqing's words, Lin Bai looked at the always reticent Wu Ming, feeling a touch of gratitude in his heart.

Lin Bai stood up from the dungeon, and said seriously, "Thank you, Alliance Leader Hua, for saving my life. Hence, I am willing to go to Yuehua City. I promise that until you return to Yuehua City, it will not fall!"

"Additionally, I also hope Alliance Leader Hua will be safe and sound in Nanxi City. Hope nothing happens to you!"

Lin Bai said calmly.

Hua Muqing said, "I may be one of the alliance leaders, but only I believe you. Even if I try to contradict the other leaders now, I can't change their decision!"

"I understand!" Lin Bai nodded and said.

Hua Muqing said, "In that case, you and Wu Ming should return to Yuehua City."

Lin Bai nodded slightly.

"Let's go, Lin Bai!" Wu Ming said.

That night, Lin Bai and Wu Ming quietly left Tide City. After all, Lin Bai's current identity was extremely sensitive, and it wasn't possible for him to appear openly before all the warriors, so he could only leave secretly at night.

Leaving Tide City, heading straight for Yuehua City.

On the road, Wu Ming whispered, "Changsun Yun, Meng Li, and Shu Xiang are currently in Yuehua City. Their cultivation levels are too low, lacking the means for survival, so I didn't let them come to Tide City."

Lin Bai nodded and said, "You've made the right decision."

Wu Ming said, "Lin Bai, Alliance Leader Hua is an exceptionally smart woman. Since she chose to trust you, it proves Nanxi City is really a Dragon Pool and Tiger's Den now!"

"Alliance Leader Hua has already sent four thousand warriors back to Yuehua City, plus the over a thousand warriors already there. Hopefully, these five thousand people can overcome this difficulty."

Lin Bai looked at Wu Ming and said, "Wu Ming, thank you."

Wu Ming said, "Why thank me?"

Lin Bai said, "Thank you for speaking up for me in front of Alliance Leader Hua."

Wu Ming said, "I'm a warrior from the Nameless Region. Since I knew how, I've been holding a dagger, killing. In front of me, there are only two kinds of people: enemies and the dead. I've never had friends!"

"But you're an exception!"

"Lin Bai, if you truly betray the human clan, I'd be the first to kill you. But if you don't, and others want to kill you, I won't approve!"

Wu Ming said firmly.

Lin Bai smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "I haven't betrayed, nor have I ever thought to betray. I know what I'm loyal to and I know what I'm doing!"

"I've tasted the feeling of being betrayed, and I know that heart-wrenching pain, so… I won't betray the human clan!"

Lin Bai said softly.

At this moment, Lin Bai thought of someone.

A person from the Spirit Sword Sect, he was... Qi Shaolong!

Under the night's curtain, Lin Bai and Wu Ming dashed towards Yuehua City.

Because Lin Bai and Wu Ming traveled day and night, they didn't waste much time traveling from Tide City to Yuehua City. Within just a day, Lin Bai and Wu Ming had returned to Yuehua City.

"Lin Bai, Alliance Leader Hua instructed that your status in the Sky Desolation Secret Realm is special now, so she advised you not to appear easily before warriors... so..." Wu Ming whispered upon arriving near Yuehua City.
