Chapter 84: Entering the City Lord's Mansion Again, Encountering the Strange Again
“Release your divine sense. I need to inspect your memories!” Inside the Holy City, you spoke in a deep voice to Wan Da and Wan Er.
“Ah, this…”
The two hesitated. After all, who didn’t have a few little secrets on them?
“Hm?”
You gazed at the two coldly, spiritual power manifesting in your hand.
Under your武力, the two finally yielded. Compared to the humiliation of a soul search, their lives were clearly more important!
After the soul search, you gained a rough understanding of the information regarding the Holy City.
Even the fastest recorded time for the Holy City to open a passage required fifty years. In other words, within these fifty years, you could not rely on external forces to escape!
At present, there were three peak Nascent Soul Remnant Souls that could launch an attack on you at any moment, and the houses within the Holy City were no longer safe.
To survive, you did not wish to sit and wait for death, so you chose to take the initiative.
“This room won’t hold much longer. If the two of you don’t want to die here, then follow me to the City Lord’s Mansion and search for the exit!”
The two raised their heads to look at you and said cautiously, “Can we not go?”
“Hm???”
Your expression darkened, your eyes fixed dead on the two.
Seeing your gaze that brooked no refusal, Wan Da was the first to declare, “I am willing to go through fire and water for Big Brother, without hesitation!”
“I, I feel the same.”
Having learned from the previous lesson, this time you were even more careful. The Breath-Concealing Art ran at full power, lowering your aura to the minimum.
Just like that, you observed in secret for a year. When a late-stage Nascent Soul Remnant Soul was born from the melee, you moved!
Taking advantage of the three peak Nascent Soul Remnant Souls feeding, you grabbed Wan Da and Wan Er and charged toward the City Lord’s Mansion at extreme speed.
One of the peak Nascent Soul Remnant Souls that was feeding raised its head to glance at you, then struck out with a palm, wanting to intercept you outside.
Before you, the Broken Sword appeared. Vigorous spiritual power poured into it, and a trace of Immortal Sword might was activated, directly severing the peak Nascent Soul’s palm!
Though this peak Nascent Soul was only a Remnant Soul, it was still stunning enough.
While the peak Nascent Soul Remnant Soul was dazed, your speed did not diminish, and you instantly rushed into the City Lord’s Mansion!
Arriving at the City Lord’s Mansion again, you were already familiar with the route. But for safety’s sake, Wan Da took the front, Wan Er the rear, and you stayed in the middle, just in case.
“More than ten years ago, I spared your lives. Once we get out this time, our grudges are written off!” You looked at the two trembling figures who did not dare to walk, and said solemnly.
The two nodded in agreement, and only then reluctantly scouted the path for you.
The journey was fraught with peril but ultimately safe, until you reached the entrance of a courtyard. You suddenly stopped. You clearly remembered that the smiling, eerie existence from before had come from here.
“What’s wrong?” Wan Da, walking in front, turned back to glance at you and asked, puzzled.
“Don’t speak!”
You stood there, waiting patiently.
The first day, there was no movement within the courtyard.
The third day, there was still no change within the courtyard.
The seventh day, looking at the courtyard that had not changed at all, you could not help but grow suspicious.
The fifteenth day, your heart began to waver, and even Wan Da and Wan Er could not help but start complaining.
A month passed. You no longer wished to wait. You looked at Wan Da ahead and said in a deep voice, “Go in and scout the path.”
“Ah? Me? No!” Wan Da wept bitterly. “Let Wan Er go. He’s stronger than me. If something really happens, he can still resist a bit.”
“Bullshit!”
Wan Er was just about to retort when he was suddenly drawn in by a voice.
“Come in, come in and play.”
Your body trembled violently. Looking ahead into the courtyard, a man in azure robes had appeared at some point — the very eerie existence!
“Close your eyes, don’t speak, and don’t move!” You hurriedly transmitted your voice to the two, but it was already too late.
Wan Da and Wan Er’s willpower was not firm. In an instant, they were bewitched by the azure-robed man and walked toward the courtyard step by step.
To prevent any accidents, you directly set up a formation, wanting to trap the two.
“Come, come over and play with me.” The azure-robed man in the courtyard smiled wider and wider, even beckoning to you.
Then, a scene that shocked you occurred.
Wan Da and Wan Er actually ignored the formation you had set up, passing straight through it as they continued toward the courtyard.
Your brow furrowed slightly. Under the azure-robed man’s smile, you swung your sword, directly severing both their legs.
When the azure-robed man saw your action, his smile diminished, and his tone grew heavier. “Come, come over, crawl over here.”
The two who had lost their legs still did not break free of the bewitchment. Using their hands, they continued crawling forward.
You swung your sword again. The two lost their hands, and now they finally stopped moving.
The smile on the azure-robed man’s face vanished completely. He looked at you with a gloomy expression. A presence emanated from his body, spreading in your direction.
Sss, sss. This presence was blocked by the gate, emitting a wisp of black smoke before finally vanishing.
“You’ve ruined my plans twice. I want you dead, I want you dead!!!” The azure-robed man roared, wanting to forcibly step out of the gate, but was blocked by a mysterious force, unable to advance a single step.
You watched the azure-robed man’s impotent rage quietly. Throughout, you did not say a single extra word, only waiting for him to slowly dissipate.
After a full minute of impotent rage, the azure-robed man calmed down, and a smile appeared on his face once more. “How about we make a deal?”
“You give them to me, and I’ll give you a Heaven-Rank technique!”
You were unmoved.
“I’ll give you three Heaven-Rank techniques!”
You did not respond.
“I’ll give you all the resources of the entire City Lord’s Mansion!”
You pressed your lips together, continuing to look at the azure-robed man, still without speaking.
“I can make you a Body Integration cultivator!”
You looked at the azure-robed man as though he were an idiot, still not speaking.
The azure-robed man grew anxious, because his body was smoking, and it seemed he would disappear again before long.
“Tell me what you want. As long as I have it, I can give it all to you!”
“I beg you, please save me, quickly!”
The azure-robed man’s figure began to grow illusory, and his entire being started to go mad, his mouth still spouting nonsense.
“Ten thousand years, a full ten thousand years! How cruel you are!!!”
