Chapter 207 Living Quarters

The existence of the guards may be just a threat, after all, the shadow has existed for so many years, and no one has ever been able to leave here.

Even if someone managed to get out of the cell by chance, once they encountered the guards at the door, they would either act forcefully or just pretend to be weak.

No matter which one is the one, the guards will counterattack. You can only use power like Xiaoying to overwhelm others. After all, in this special place, strength and identity can determine everything.

Thinking about this, Bai Zhiqian silently followed Xiaoying, but her fingers kept rubbing Yi Yao's hair unknowingly.

"Girl, are you annoying?" Yi Yao finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Oh, I'm sorry..." Bai Zhiqian didn't think too much about it anymore, and everything now focused on escaping.

"Sister, in fact, this area is currently the safest." Xiaoying suddenly said, "Most people in Shadow will choose to rest here, so a large living area was born here."

Bai Zhiqian was a little surprised when she heard the words, but felt that everything was reasonable. After all, there were so many people in the shadow. Except for the shadow killer who needed to go out to perform tasks, the rest had to stay in the shadow base most of the time.

Not every cultivator is willing to live a life like an ascetic monk, so the birth of some basic living areas is also very normal.

"However, you said how there are so many people in the shadow, I can't imagine..." Bai Zhiqian asked suddenly.

Although Xie Qianchou is the lord of the city, it is not easy for him to build such a large shadow base. Where did he gather such a large group of people who are almost completely loyal to him?
Xiaoying said coldly, "Most of them are homeless orphans. Of course, there are also children who are deliberately kidnapped and robbed. They have been brainwashed since childhood, so they will naturally be completely loyal to Shadow."

"At the beginning, Xiaoyin and I also came into contact with the shadow because of a baby theft case. After our investigation, we quickly found clues, but at that time we did not expect the scale of the shadow to be so large, let alone its owner. It's Xie Qianchou."

"Later, it was discovered that Shadow was looking for something, and Xiaoyin and I made a plan to introduce Shadow to the spirit boat and deal with them and some traitors from the Lei family, but I didn't expect so much to happen later. Accident."

For some reason, Xiaoying talked about the past again, she whispered, "And I never thought that we almost did our best to solve only a small number of branches of the shadow."

Bai Zhiqian immediately clenched her palms tightly, and said through gritted teeth, "Shadow is a malignant tumor, one day I will completely eradicate it."

But after seeing so many things in Shadow, she actually knew that it was impossible for her alone to fight against such a huge organization.

Xiaoying was stunned for a moment before continuing, "In addition to those orphans, Shadow also took in those vicious people. They are all stained with blood, and they had to flee here because they were wanted everywhere."

"Since that's the case, did Xie Qianchou submit to them? I don't believe that they would really submit to others." Bai Zhiqian raised her own question.

"I don't know, maybe Xie Qianchou has something to do, but those people did surrender. You must know that the shadow has existed for so many years, but there is no rebellion, and even the existence here has not been exposed."

Xiaoying said solemnly, "Therefore, Xie Qianchou is not to be underestimated. Sister, you must not be your enemy, at least not now."

The two sisters knew very well that to disintegrate such a huge organization, beheading was undoubtedly the easiest operation, but it was not so difficult to execute it.

Although Xie Qianchou hadn't made a move for many years, everyone knew that this ruthless city lord was by no means a weakling.

"Of course, don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure about."

Xiaoying knew that these words were just perfunctory, she understood her sister's persistence better than anyone else, but she didn't want to see her sister take risks.

So, the preoccupied Xiaoying brought Bai Zhiqian to a special place, a place that shouldn't exist here.

"There is actually a market here?"

Bai Zhiqian looked at the place in front of her that looked like a bazaar, she couldn't help being a little surprised, but it was different from the usual lively bazaars, although there were a lot of people here, there was almost no communication between people, everyone bought what they needed Things will rush away.

"Sister, where there are people, you can't do without trading. Here you can spend spirit stones to trade, or you can use unique shadow points."

Xiaoying explained slowly, "And here is also a huge information trading market, we may be able to get news of the guide from here."

"Is that so?" Bai Zhiqian nodded thoughtfully, and slowly followed Xiaoying into the market, but she suddenly thought of something and asked.

"However, it's so hard to find a guide, so what should people do if they are in a hurry to get out?"

Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, and replied in a low voice, "It is said that once you find the guide for the first time, it will be easy to find again later, but the first time is the most difficult, but this is also a special design."

"According to the rules of the shadow, if you can't even find a guide, you are not worthy of leaving here, even including shadow killers, if you can't find a guide, you are not worthy to go out to perform tasks."

"So, sister, you should understand that there are many rules here in the shadows, but the main thing is to constantly screen out the strongest group of people."

At this moment, Bai Zhiqian also understood that Xie Qianchou had planned for many years to create such a shadow organization, which was by no means something she could solve easily.

After stepping into the bazaar, although there were many people selling things inside, there was no noise. Bai Zhiqian also watched quietly. She had to be extremely careful in such a place full of enemies.

But their arrival did not attract anyone's attention, even if a few guards passed by them, they did not take a second look.

Bai Zhiqian didn't know what to do, and she didn't want to buy the things here. She knew that these things might be from wrong sources or even stained with blood, so she could only follow Xiaoying silently.

Xiaoying led her around for an unknown amount of time, and seemed to have found her target. She walked straight towards a man in a black robe, and Bai Zhiqian hurriedly followed.

"I want to know the news of the guide." Xiaoying suddenly said.

The man looked at Xiaoying, then at Bai Zhiqian, but he didn't answer.

Xiaoying slowly took out his identity certificate, and the man also took out a similar thing. After the two collided, he suddenly said, "You are the guard of the cell area, you should not appear here."

"Since I can get here, you shouldn't be the one to ask." Xiaoying said coldly, "You just need to answer me, whether you know the news of the guide."

"There is a guide...He is here, but I will not tell you who he is. Whether you can find him or not depends on yourself. This is the rule of the shadow."

"Okay, it's already given to you."

"Let's go."

Afterwards, Xiaoying stopped talking, swiped at him again with her status symbol, and left without looking back.

The man quietly watched her leave without saying a word, and continued to stand and wait for his next guest.
