Shan Daoyu was engaged in a battle with a figure clad in dark green attire, his face hidden behind a mask.
Yu Ziqing walked unhurriedly, observing the three from the Shadow Department.
"No need to thank me, I just didn't want you to die out there. Soon, Shan Daoyu will escort you back to the Capital City.
By the way, how long has it been since the Shadow Department changed its cipher?"
One of them paused before responding.
"The cipher was last changed ten years ago."
The severely injured Seventh Tier struggled to bow in gratitude.
"Thank you, sir, for your intervention."
They knew well that someone like Shan Daoyu, venturing out for the first time, wouldn't anticipate an ambush.
They had tried their best to remain concealed along the way, yet they had still been intercepted.
Their pursuer seemed extremely familiar with their route and methods of concealment.
