Chapter 1127 - 1125: Sword Tomb

Li Du slightly squinted his eyes and hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "I think Mr. Wang’s considerations are quite thorough. We indeed need a place to bide our time. If we could stay within Ten Thousand Sword City, it would be a good thing for us."

"Moreover, we don’t need to pay any price; as long as we stay here, even if there are many demonic beasts eyeing us nearby, I believe they wouldn’t dare approach Ten Thousand Sword City easily."

This is indeed the truth, because I just noticed that the leading demonic beast always keeps its gaze on the Hexagonal Golden Snake. It seems to be terrified of it. As long as the Hexagonal Golden Snake is here, I believe those creatures won’t dare come closer easily.

After all, the strength of the Hexagonal Golden Snake is terrifying, and even if the Fire Qilin and Sword Spirit joined forces, they wouldn’t be a match for the Hexagonal Golden Snake.

The Fire Qilin also slowly said, "Fine, let’s go with Wang Zhan’s intentions. We’ll stay in this space temporarily. This Ten Thousand Sword City looks good enough. Once we have completely determined our direction, there’s no rush to leave."

Sword Spirit and the others nodded in agreement.

Seeing everyone has made up their minds, the protector finally felt relieved. He looked at Wang Zhan and others excitedly and quickly said, "Great, you can stay here. That’s a blessing for us. Reflecting on the things we did before, we now wish to find a hole to hide in. But rest assured, in the upcoming time, we definitely won’t do anything out of line and will always follow Mr. Wang’s intentions."

Wang Zhan nodded in satisfaction and, without wasting time, proceeded towards Ten Thousand Sword City.

With Wang Zhan and the group’s entry, the people in Ten Thousand Sword City began to cheer continuously, all shouting in unison, clearly in support of Wang Zhan and others.

Wang Zhan didn’t mind their attitude and soon led his group into the City Lord’s Mansion.

Meanwhile, the few protectors did not follow them inside. There were numerous tasks they needed to attend to; even though Ten Thousand Sword City held considerable defenses, the earlier pursuit of Wang Zhan by the City Lord led the city’s elite forces away, breaking the defenses and allowing the demonic beasts to attack. Thus, they must quickly rebuild these defenses.

Although Wang Zhan and others are staying, they must rely on themselves. Only then can Ten Thousand Sword City continue to survive.

In an instant, only Wang Zhan and a few remained in the City Lord’s Mansion.

Wang Zhan’s gaze fell upon those present, ultimately resting on Zhao Feiyu. He spoke lightly, "Alright, I know you probably have some resentment in your heart, but as men, our minds need to be broad. Since the matter has already happened, let’s move past it—we haven’t really been harmed."

"Also, we can now enjoy some peace in the City Lord’s Mansion, which is a good thing for us. I’ll take this time to refine some elixirs and see if they can help everyone. Because once we’re in the ruins, who knows what situations we might encounter..."

Everyone exchanged glances, then nodded in agreement.

Actually, they didn’t need Wang Zhan to explain anything; as long as Wang Zhan intended to stay, they would stay without any hesitation. Even if Wang Zhan wanted to take Ten Thousand Sword City, with the City Lord present, they would still not hesitate to act against him!

This is their bond with Wang Zhan.

As Wang Zhan got ready to return to his room to rest, he suddenly heard a familiar voice. Sword Spirit slowly said, "By the way, I just heard them mention something about the sword tomb. Have you heard about this sword tomb?"

Wang Zhan suddenly stopped, his face full of confusion, and asked, "What’s the sword tomb? I think I heard them talking about it, but I don’t know much about it. I didn’t pay much attention; even if there are divine weapons and tools in the sword tomb, compared to the Absolute Heaven’s Sword, I believe they fall far short and are rather useless..."

Currently, Wang Zhan only has the Absolute Heaven’s Sword in mind. He always remembers what Flowing Light Venerable said—that the Absolute Heaven’s Sword is a divine weapon and tool. If he could wield the Absolute Heaven’s Sword, his strength would increase significantly. Importantly, the Absolute Heaven’s Sword was one of Flowing Light Venerable’s most valued divine weapons in life; its power is surely not trivial.

Then Sword Spirit continued, saying, "I’ve heard about this sword tomb before; it should be where Flowing Light Venerable practiced sword arts. It’s said that Flowing Light Venerable crafted many divine weapons and tools there, so it should have some valuable items. However, compared to the Absolute Heaven’s Sword, there is naturally a gap. Since we have nothing urgent now, why not inquire about the sword tomb’s location and take a look?"

Zhao Feiyu and the others’ eyes brightened upon hearing about the divine weapons and tools; naturally, they all wanted to enter and see if they could find a suitable weapon. This would be significant for them; although powerful, with the addition of divine weapons and tools, their strength could further improve.

Meanwhile, the Fire Qilin said nonchalantly, "I’m not interested in those things. If you want to go, you can find it yourselves. I’ll go back to the room to rest a bit. Following you in battle continuously, I feel I’ve reached a bottleneck and seem to be breaking through, so I need to ponder carefully and quickly enhance my strength."

Everyone’s eyes widened in shock; none expected the Fire Qilin to achieve another strength upgrade in such a short time, which was truly shocking.

After speaking, the Fire Qilin walked away, clearly unwilling to continue interacting with the others.

The Hexagonal Golden Snake shook its head as well, "I’m not going to meddle in your affairs; I’m not interested in weapons. As long as one’s strength is absolutely dominant, all weaknesses are compensated. If you encounter any surprises in the sword tomb, feel free to contact me. I’ll appear by your side quickly to protect you."

The Hexagonal Golden Snake now stood before Wang Zhan and others, effectively becoming their guardian.

Due to the Hexagonal Golden Snake’s strength, if anything occurs, it certainly needs to act.

The Hexagonal Golden Snake took out a jade slip from its bosom and handed it to Wang Zhan, saying, "If you encounter anything, just crush this jade slip, and I can sense your location. We’re not far apart now, so I can come to you immediately, so you have nothing to worry about."

This certainly provided Wang Zhan and others additional security.

Wang Zhan nodded and watched as the Hexagonal Golden Snake left.

After glancing at the group by his side, Wang Zhan said, "Alright, since the four of us are ready to set out, stop wasting time and pack lightly. Then we’ll go find that sword tomb now."

Soon, Wang Zhan and the group left the City Lord’s Mansion.

The people behind them continued to stick close to Wang Zhan.

A protector quickly walked before Wang Zhan and respectfully bowed, saying, "Sir, why didn’t you rest well? What’s the matter that brought you out suddenly?"

"Could it be that the demonic beasts are returning, and you’ve sensed their presence so you rushed out to prepare for battle?"

Upon hearing these words, everyone’s expressions turned grim, and even their breathing became more tense.

There were many civilians present, one of whom said, "If that’s the case, things are really bad; we’re doomed. We haven’t finished setting up defenses yet—are we really going to fight now?"

"Didn’t they say those creatures wouldn’t dare offend us with Mr. Wang and the group here? Why are they returning now? Did a problem arise somewhere?"

Thereafter, everyone began to discuss.

"What can be done? Is Ten Thousand Sword City really unable to be preserved? We can’t leave now; my parents lived here, and if we leave, I don’t know how to face my deceased parents!"

"You’re like this; aren’t we all the same? Who wants to leave their own home that supports their survival? It’s just we’ve encountered difficulties now; if not for these demonic beasts always lurking around, we could still live peacefully, not facing this plight."

"Alright, stop complaining. Let’s hear Mr. Wang’s intentions and see what action to take!"

"Indeed, Mr. Wang is our pillar!"
