Chapter 1873 - 191: No One Answers, So Let the Martial Saint Be Buried!

Royal Capital.

Countless people looked up at the sky.

The clear blue was split into two by a line, as if the sky was completely divided.

Below that line, a figure stood in the air.

It was a White-clothed Swordman, standing on a flying sword, holding a sword scabbard, his posture tall like a pine tree, his long robe flapping in the air.

His gaze was on the Royal Capital ahead, observing the myriad of life in the capital, his eyes indifferent, as if everything in this world was not worth his extra glance.

The next moment.

His left hand in the air pinched a sword technique.

Buzz——

Suddenly, a sword hum echoed throughout the world again.

The overwhelming Sword Intent erupted from his body, soaring to the sky.

For a moment, wind and clouds surged.

Yet, he did not speak, nor did he do anything else.

He merely continued to gather the Sword Intent in his hand.

Instantly.

In the Royal Capital, countless strong individuals’ expressions changed dramatically.

They felt a strong sense of death crisis descending, as if the heavens were about to fall.

And under the cover of this sky, there was nowhere to escape.

They instantly understood that this mysterious figure suddenly appearing was about to act against the Royal Capital.

...

On the Observatory.

The blind elder furrowed his brow and whispered, "Granny Bai, your people should move!"

"I will save!" Granny Bai’s voice remained gentle, yet a hint of seriousness appeared in her eyes.

The next moment.

She extended her ten fingers.

The ten fingers were slender, green, and white jade-like.

The ten fingers lightly flicked.

On the other side.

On the walls of the Royal Capital.

A gust of wind blew through.

Ten paper figures no bigger than palms were instantly swept up by the wind, floating high into the sky.

At this moment, the White-robed Sword Immortal standing in the air slightly furrowed his brow, then glanced at the white paper figures floating.

Suddenly.

Silver light appeared on the ten paper figures, and mysterious patterns were spread across them.

As the wind blew, the paper figures swelled with the wind.

Three inches... five inches... three feet... five feet...

In just a moment, the ten paper figures expanded, transforming into ten Heavenly Soldiers dressed in dark armor, holding long halberds.

...

Within the city.

Watching this scene, Jiang Ning’s expression was astonished.

The form that these ten paper figures took on was all too familiar to him.

They were nearly identical to the Silver Armored Heavenly Soldiers he’d seen before.

But he understood that these ten Silver Armored Heavenly Soldiers appeared lifelike, just like the Heavenly Soldiers he had previously seen, yet they were completely different.

Because just now, he sensed a somewhat familiar aura on the paper figures.

He understood that it was Granny Bai’s handiwork.

Thinking of that Granny Bai, he also felt her mysterious nature.

Since back in Luoshui County, he had interactions with that Granny Bai.

But upon arriving in the Royal Capital, his contacts with Granny Bai had become scarce.

...

Up in the sky.

The White-robed Sword Immortal watched the scene, his gaze still remarkably calm.

"A mere facade, daring to emulate the divine might of Heavenly Soldiers!"

As his words fell.

The Sword Intent he had gathered for some time in his hand did not choose to strike the Royal Capital ahead, but rather cut directly towards the paper figures transformed into Silver Armored Heavenly Soldiers.

He knew the task he came for today was to try to force out the Martial Saint, and as for how to go about it, there was no specific arrangement.

He also wanted to see the world, to see what Martial Arts truly are apart from Martial Saints!

He was not in a hurry.

Hiss——

The sword light sliced through the void, as if directly cutting it apart.

As the sword light swept past, the few Silver Armored Heavenly Soldiers in front instantly disintegrated, turning into countless tiny paper scraps, dissipating in the wind.

Watching this scene, the White-clothed Swordman was indifferent.

Because he knew these were not genuine Heavenly Soldiers.

If they were real Heavenly Soldiers, at full strength, not just ten of them.

If the number exceeded one, reaching two, he would turn and leave without hesitation.

After all, in this era, he could not become an Immortal, always falling short of becoming a true Immortal.

And this one step is like a great chasm.

Then, the next moment, he slightly furrowed his brow.

He saw those scattered paper scraps suddenly affected by an invisible force, slightly hesitating in the air, then regrouping.

In just a moment, the Silver Armored Heavenly Soldiers he just cut down reformed, identical to before, holding long halberds, encircling him from all directions, with cold eyes.

"Hmm?" A trace of surprise flashed in the White-robed Sword Immortal’s eyes, then turned into understanding.

With just a serious glance, he completely saw through it.

These ten outwardly forms of Silver Armored Heavenly Soldiers were not in random formation, but rather secretly aligned with some mystical array scheme.

The ten Heavenly Soldiers were interconnected in aura, forming a complete cycle.

The Heavenly Soldiers he had just vanquished, upon breaking, the paper scraps were pulled by the force of the array, exchanging aura with the other Heavenly Soldiers, and reforming.

"I see!" White-robed Sword Immortal whispered to himself, his tone carrying a hint of praise: "Quite a clever method! Seems there are capable individuals in the mortal realm!"

He then slightly focused his gaze, looking towards the direction of the Royal Capital.

Following the invisible pulling force emanating from the ten Heavenly Soldiers, he had locked onto the direction and knew where the person behind it was in the city.

"You are interesting, you’ve piqued my interest!" his lips slightly moved.

And on the Observatory.

Granny Bai’s expression slightly changed.

Because that voice, sounded out of nowhere beside her ears.

"Such profound methods, to have already pinpointed me!" Granny Bai’s gaze was serious.

Then she looked towards the blind elder beside her.

"Old blind man, you go first!"

"What about you?" the blind elder asked.

"I can’t leave at the moment! Moreover, I have means to escape!" Granny Bai said, her voice no longer as gentle as before, but rather a bit tense.

"Take care, no need to risk everything for the Ji Clan!" the blind elder said.
