Yan Hua nodded, “It is indeed the inner core of the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf.”
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. General Manager Zhao, on the other hand, did not look too good. He looked at Lin Bai suspiciously and could not help but mutter.
“Why didn’t we find it even after going through so much difficulty? Yet, this kid could be bring it back so easily. Could it be…”
He suspected in his heart that Lin Bai had long known the location of the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf. It was very likely that he had told them the wrong location. Otherwise, it was impossible for so many people to return in vain.
However, Lin Bai’s expression was as innocent as possible. No one could see any clues, “I’m afraid that general manager Zhao misunderstood me. It could be a coincidence, or maybe God is protecting the City Lord’s Estate. He knows that the City Lord urgently needs this inner core, so he passed it to me.”
His words were watertight, and he even indirectly flattered the City Lord. However, general manager Zhao still did not believe it.
“If you really knew where the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf was, you should have gone to get its inner core earlier instead of dragging it out until now. Do you know that right now –“
Seeing that general manager Zhao had almost blurted out the matter regarding the City Lord, Ren Zeyuan hurriedly shouted to stop him when he saw that the situation was not looking good. He said sternly, “Enough!”
“It’s already very good that you were able to find the inner core. We can talk about other things later. Now is not the time to quarrel.”
General Manager Zhao knew that he had made a blunder and lowered his head. However, he secretly glared at Lin Bai several times.
Ren Zeyuan comforted him, “You did a good job finding the inner core this time. The City Lord’s Estate will remember your meritorious service. You must be tired. Go and rest first.”
Seeing general manager Zhao’s extremely indignant expression, Lin Bai felt that something must have happened in the City Lord’s Estate when he left. Although General Manager Zhao didn’t finish speaking, Lin Bai guessed that something must have happened to the City Lord again.
After Lin Bai left, general manager Zhao’s anger still hadn’t subsided. He felt that this kid had hidden his trump card and deliberately didn’t take out the inner core at the beginning. He was just waiting for the price to be sold, which caused the matter to drag on until now. The City Lord’s deterioration became more and more serious.
He couldn’t help but say, “Vice City Lord, if this kid could take out the inner core earlier, perhaps things wouldn’t be like this. The seal wouldn’t have been damaged so badly, and the City Lord wouldn’t have fallen into such a situation.”
Ren Zeyuan shook his head, “Now is not the time to pursue this matter. Regardless of whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, things have already developed to such a state. Our top priority now is to concoct the medicinal pill. What do you think?”
His gaze landed on Yan Hua. “Elder Yan, there is no time to delay. Let’s quickly gather people to refine the medicinal pill.”
Yan Hua shook his head, “If it was before, when the City Lord had not completely deteriorated, we would naturally be able to refine pills immediately. However, refining pills now is completely insufficient. We still need someone to suppress the seal. Otherwise, that corrosive gas will once again pollute the City Lord’s body. At that time, even if we have pills, there’s no way.”
As if he had thought of something, Yan Hua once again became hesitant, “Moreover, the body of the City Lord has already been assimilated. We still need to expel those dirty things. Otherwise, the medicinal pill won’t be able to bring out its greatest effect.”
The joy of finding the inner core, which they had gone through so much trouble to find, was once again washed away. It was as if there was a huge rock pressing down on everyone’s heart, almost suffocating them.
No matter what it was, it was not easy to do. Ren Zeyuan, Yan Hua, and the others were all worried.
“Now, we can only hope that president He can quickly bring some people over to support us. The success rate of us refining it is not high. We also hope that the Vice City Lord can gather all of the City Lord’s experts together.”
Ren Ze Yuan, Supervisor Zhao, and the others who were loyal to the City Lord’s Estate made the arrangements. Lin Bai also found out about the incident that happened underground from the people around him.
If nothing went wrong, it was either the City Lord’s doing or those unknown creatures. It always felt like there was an invisible thread connecting the two together.
What made Lin Bai feel regretful was that after the previous few incidents, the security was getting tighter and tighter. He had no way to go out and check the situation.
Although he did not know about the situation in the outside world, it could be seen from the gloomy and tense atmosphere that there was a huge crisis lurking in the dark. He had been hiding in the dark, waiting for the best opportunity.
Soon, He Qingyuan rushed over with the people from the Alchemist Association, including Zhou Zhengqing and the others. They did not have time to exchange pleasantries.

Although He Qingyuan was not from the City Lord’s Estate, he was extremely familiar with what had happened in the City Lord’s Estate.
“There’s no need to say anything. I already know everything here. The most important thing now is to refine the pills first, and then split into two groups. One group will control the seal, and the other group will purify the thing in the City Lord’s body.”
It was easy to say, but it was extremely difficult to implement. The City Lord himself was a great grandmaster. Moreover, if he were to fall into the chaos, he would be bewitched by that thing. The battle strength in his violent state would rise by a great level. It was not something that ordinary people could deal with.
Moreover, without the cultivation level of a grandmaster, just getting close to it was extremely difficult. Even if they were to get close with great difficulty, they would be easily corroded by the gas from the seal. It could be said that it was extremely dangerous.
He Qingyuan naturally knew how powerful this was. This time, he actually planned to participate in it personally. “I will be in charge of purifying the dirty things in the City Lord’s body. The Vice City Lord will be in charge of controlling the seal and preventing the formation from being destroyed..”
