Chapter 1129 - 1127: Searching for Clues

Wang Zhan’s gaze was already focused on the Sword Spirit beside him. The Sword Spirit’s strength was naturally far superior to the two, and he might be able to sense something different here.

After all, Wang Zhan had also carefully sensed the surrounding situation just now, but found no abnormalities. Thus, he shifted all his attention to the Sword Spirit.

The Sword Spirit shook his head, furrowing his brows as he slowly spoke: "I haven’t sensed anything different here either. It seems this really might be just a training room of the City Lord of Ten Thousand Sword City, or someone here has deliberately suppressed something, blocking all information and leaving me without any perception."

But if it’s truly the latter, then that is truly terrifying.

Given the Sword Spirit’s formidable strength, a place where even he couldn’t detect any clues must be achieved by extremely powerful individuals. Perhaps only the Hexagonal Golden Snake coming here could unlock the secrets of this place.

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Zhan had already taken out that jade slip, while Zhao Feiyu quickly walked over, excitedly holding his shoulders and said: "Mr. Wang, quickly crush this jade slip and let the Hexagonal Golden Snake arrive here soon. Maybe we can solve the mystery of this place; otherwise, we’d be wasting time here. After all, this place is too dull, lacking any sense of difference, and no one knows what this place is really about..."

Li Du also nodded in agreement.

Since they have already entered here, they naturally need to quickly solve the formations here.

"Let’s not make it so troublesome. I’m fundamentally a Soul Body. If it weren’t for your help, I might still be hiding inside the sword without having a body. So, my perception here is quite sharp. Even if the Hexagonal Golden Snake comes, his perception wouldn’t be as keen as mine, so you don’t need to trouble him further."

The Sword Spirit slowly spoke.

Since he said so, Wang Zhan naturally wouldn’t say much. He grinned and said: "Anyway, I believe your words. Since you think there’s no problem here, we don’t need to linger. It seems everything here is just deliberately obscured by someone, likely the doing of the City Lord of Ten Thousand Sword City. After all, during training, no one wants to be disturbed."

The Sword Spirit nodded without saying anything further.

At that moment, Wang Zhan slightly squinted his eyes and spoke again: "Alright, let’s not waste time here. Let’s return to Ten Thousand Sword City to rest well. We still need to conserve our strength, as there are too many demonic beasts nearby, and no one knows if they will suddenly come for us. It seems they want to enter Ten Thousand Sword City, so we must be cautious."

Everyone nodded in agreement without saying much, indicating they planned to follow Wang Zhan’s intentions.

In an instant, they left the area.

Having walked a certain distance, Wang Zhan and his group saw a strange figure. When that person saw Wang Zhan’s group, his face changed dramatically, quickly moving to the side, and immediately distanced himself from them.

Seeing this, Wang Zhan’s expression changed immediately, but before he could speak, Zhao Feiyu rushed towards the figure. Li Du hurriedly followed, as Zhao Feiyu moved rashly, and if anything happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Wang Zhan exchanged glances with Li Du and followed Zhao Feiyu’s lead.

In no time, they reached the person and directly blocked him.

Surrounded on all sides, the person’s face turned ugly, his breathing became urgent, and he instinctively clenched his fists, looking coldly at Wang Zhan, then said through gritted teeth: "I advise you not to act recklessly here, or the City Lord will never let you off!"

"Only the City Lord can enter here, so you best not act recklessly!"

Upon hearing this, the corner of Wang Zhan’s mouth curled into a cold smile. His eyes shifted slightly, and he approached the speaking person. Before the man could react, Wang Zhan grabbed his neck and lifted him forcefully, coldly staring at him. Then he spoke word by word: "Seems you know the City Lord’s whereabouts? Then quickly tell us where he is now. If he’s alive, let him come here to answer for his actions!"

Thinking of the City Lord’s actions, Wang Zhan couldn’t help but sneer. He never expected the City Lord would leave everyone at the critical moment and go off alone. How could someone like him be the lord of a city?

It’s undeniable those who follow the City Lord are truly unlucky.

But the man turned his face away, seemingly unconcerned by Wang Zhan’s threat, saying, "Scare me all you want. Even if you kill me, I won’t reveal the City Lord’s location. Moreover, the City Lord plans to return soon. He’ll reclaim everything and you thieves won’t have a good ending!"

"Thieves?"

The corner of Wang Zhan’s mouth curled into a cold smile and he instinctively asked.

The man replied coldly: "Aren’t you thieves? This place isn’t yours, and you took advantage of the demonic beast’s battle with the City Lord to infiltrate and seize Ten Thousand Sword City. You truly are despicable scoundrels, detestable indeed!"

"But rest assured, justice will prevail. You won’t have a good ending, and the City Lord won’t spare you!"

Hearing this, Wang Zhan’s mouth curled into a cold smile. It seems the man is truly loyal to the City Lord, but Wang Zhan couldn’t understand how someone like the City Lord could have such devout subordinates.

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Zhan threw the man aside, clearly no longer intending to deal with him. In any case, he wasn’t very concerned about matters related to Ten Thousand Sword City, since they had nothing to do with him. So, Wang Zhan naturally didn’t need to pay much attention.

Meanwhile, Zhao Feiyu grinned, squinting at Wang Zhan, then slowly spoke: "Alright, leave the next steps to me. I have many means to make him obediently disclose where the City Lord is. Once we confirm his location, that’s enough."

Wang Zhan said nothing, knowing Zhao Feiyu’s methods; with the man’s stubbornness, there was no need for further words, they just awaited the outcome.

Wang Zhan and the Sword Spirit stepped aside, leaving the matters to Zhao Feiyu and Li Du to handle, avoiding any harsh sounds. So Wang Zhan and the Sword Spirit walked towards the sword tomb to check the situation there.

Soon, Wang Zhan was inside, while the Sword Spirit shook his head helplessly, speaking to himself: "Later, that guy won’t have a good end. Zhao Feiyu is ruthless; if he doesn’t speak up, Zhao Feiyu definitely won’t spare him."

Wang Zhan nodded without further comment.

Quickly, they continued searching, preparing to see if they could find anything different here.

Soon, the sound of footsteps approached swiftly as Zhao Feiyu ran over, panting heavily, and slowly said: "That guy already disclosed the City Lord’s location to us. Also, the City Lord was injured while setting up the formation, so his current state isn’t good. If we go now, we can likely kill him in one swoop!"

"Mr. Wang, since we haven’t found anything useful here, we should go over quickly to see the situation, then bring back that City Lord bastard. I’m curious to see how people will treat him!"

There’s no denying Zhao Feiyu’s efficiency is staggering. In such a short time, he arranged everything and even got the man’s confession. It seems the man suffered quite a bit, but it’s his own fault. If it were ordinary city citizens, Wang Zhan wouldn’t have let Zhao Feiyu act like this. But he can clearly see the man is misguidedly loyal and sticks to the City Lord, which is the most hateful part.

"Alright, I’ll crush the jade slip and have the Hexagonal Golden Snake join us soon. Even if that guy’s strength is compromised, he surely has other tricks, so having the Hexagonal Golden Snake with us ensures absolute safety."

Wang Zhan directly spoke.

Wang Zhan took out the jade slip from inside his clothes and crushed it immediately, causing the surrounding space to ripple, and in an instant, the Hexagonal Golden Snake appeared before them.
