Hearing this, Lin Wu didn't know what to say for a moment.
She had thought that the members of the Chi Family were otherworldly creatures from the start; she hadn't expected that they had become what they now were due to a catastrophe partway through.
"...With the Chi Family's abilities, I estimate that even facing the ravaging of otherworldly creatures, they would have found a way to ensure the survival of their bloodline and retreat in one piece. Since the city gates were open at that time and the Kongtong Seal was gone, why didn't they just leave and find a suitable place in the outside world to recuperate?"
Lin Wu frowned and said, "They've already done enough, even more than duty calls for, and they don't owe anyone anything. There's no need to go that far..."
The City Lord opened his eyes to look at Lin Wu.
With a mask in the way, Lin Wu couldn't see his expression.
But those obscure vertical pupils of the City Lord were exceptionally calm and collected.
