Chu Xue didn't know what was going on, holding the few wooden plates as she looked at the backs of those few people.
"Weird! Why do they have to send these things to us? Did the Yuanbing House open by their Cloud Saint City Lord? "
Zong Shou laughed but didn't reply. He grabbed a cloud pattern flying knife and played with it in his hand.
The material of this knife was no weaker than the Lightning Tooth Sword. Cloud pattern talismans were carved on it, and as long as it was slightly activated, a mist would appear. The ability of the Cloud Shocking God Destroying sword intent was much stronger than the Willow Leaf Flying Knives he used before.
It was still as thin as a cicada's wing, but it was much sharper.
However, the current Zong Shou wasn't focused on the knife in his hand. Instead, he was coldly looking at a building across the street.
This was the City Lord Manor. A fifty-foot tall stone wall separated the spacious courtyard from the outside.
On the right, there was a tall building, taller than the stone wall. Ten thousand feet away, looking out from here, one could see two people on it.
"What other reason can there be? They sent the things I ordered over so naturally, they want us to leave quickly … "
Chuxue let out an 'ah', her face filled with confusion. Just now, that person obviously wanted them to stay for a few more days.
However, that person's attitude towards them was like he was facing a god of plague, which made one really unhappy.
Yin Yang's face was dark and sunken, his expression extremely ugly.
Zong Shou squinted his eyes and smiled.
… Cloud Saint City's scenery was great and it was always peaceful. It was the best place to enjoy the scenery.
What he meant was that he didn't want to be dragged into this storm. Once something unexpected happened, it would go from being peaceful to being in trouble. No matter how good the scenery was, no one would come here to enjoy the scenery.
He was open-minded and understood the difficulties of the Cloud Saint City Lord. If it was him, he would most probably do the same. However, he would feel slightly uncomfortable in his heart.
Rushing him away without even meeting him was a little too much.
With a self-deprecating laugh, Zong Shou no longer looked at the pavilion and walked back inside.
Actually, even without the City Lord's reminder, he was already prepared to leave. It was just that he was two days early.
It would be a good thing if he could get his hands on these cloud-pattern flying knives and external bone parts earlier.
He thought to himself that these peaceful and comfortable days would not last long. He couldn't even find a quiet place to settle down.
In order to survive in this world, others were ultimately unreliable. Only one's own strength, swordsmanship, and chanting were the foundation of one's existence.
We can't be careless.

"Liancheng, this is the Gantian Mountain Prince?"
Ten thousand feet away, on top of a five-story building. An old man in a brocade robe was leaning against the railing and watching.
This person's face was red as dates, but his expression was calm. His right arm was muscular, but his left arm was as dry as wood. His slightly withered eyes flashed with a curious look.
From here, he could see the thin youth on the other side of the street beyond the stone wall.
"To be able to sense our presence, this person's intuition is quite sharp! He doesn't look like someone who has never practiced martial arts? "
"This prince is indeed a little special! However, I sent people to observe him for several days and didn't notice any signs of him practicing martial arts. He also doesn't look like he has trained his soul. If he is skilled in the martial path and chanting, there should be some clues on his body. However, master, you also saw that he doesn't have any martial artist aura at all. He also doesn't have any spiritual sense seeping out … "
These words came from behind the old man in the brocade robe. A middle-aged man whose face was filled with wrinkles, looking like a butler, was standing with his hands by his side.
He was dressed in a black robe and one couldn't see anything special about him. However, when he raised his head, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.
The old man frowned, "Although that is the case, I still feel a little uneasy. Sir Lei Dong instructed us to take care of him and try our best to form a good relationship with him. In the end, not only did I not follow his instructions, but I also chased him away … "
The face of the butler known as Liancheng changed, and he was a little helpless, "Master wasn't willing to do this. Due to the pressure from many sides, we had no choice but to do so. Sir Lei Dong has always been a casual person. After he ordered his subordinates to say those words, he didn't appear for a long time, which is really suspicious. In my opinion, Master Lei Dong might have already forgotten about this matter. This person is in a whirlpool and is involved in the battle between the Donglin Sects. It is said that he has some connection with the Eight Tail Sect of the Sky Fox race. It isn't something that our Cloud Saint City can interfere in. A dual meridian trash isn't worth our city taking on too much responsibility for him and fighting with those few people. Letting him leave is the best way! "
The old man hesitated. After a short while, he sighed, "I can only let you down. However, before this person leaves, he will definitely die. However, before he leaves, I still have to meet him and send him off. I don't want to have anything to do with this person, but I also don't want to become enemies because of this. There must be a reason why Sir Lei Dong thinks so highly of this person. Prepare some gifts and bring them over! "
Liancheng was startled and raised his head, only to see that the old man's face had calmed down. His tone and expression were not to be doubted. He could only keep his words and not try to persuade him, "Liancheng will follow your orders! This will be arranged, but the size of the gifts … "
That old man was in deep thought and didn't reply. Liancheng bowed slightly and directly retreated downstairs. He knew what this old master wanted. It didn't need to be expensive, just normal gifts would do.

Returning to the courtyard, Chu Xue had already calmed down. Although she was furious before, thinking about it now, this was their territory after all.
There was no danger and she had stayed here for over ten days, so what was there to be unsatisfied about? She couldn't always let others shield her from the wind and rain.
Yin Yang was the same, but he was much calmer. It was obvious that he had predicted this beforehand, "I heard that Cloud Saint City City Lord Xu Zhengyuan was famous in his early years. His personality was fiery and he did things viciously. He reached the Martial Ancestor Realm at thirty-five and pretty much unified three thousand miles of land around Cloud Saint City. However, he was injured by others and it was hard to heal, so he restrained his personality. He did things like a woman, dragging things out. He was kind to others and didn't make enemies with others. It was like that for tens of years. It was said that there were many times when he was forced into a corner and didn't dare to fight back. He relied on his relationship with those hidden sects to barely protect this city. It seems like it is getting worse and worse … "
Zong Shou was a little shocked. Who knew that this Cloud Saint City Lord would have such a glorious time. A radius of four thousand miles was enough to span several provinces.
As for Yin Yang's last few sentences, he didn't think much of it. How could the personality of a lion be so easily suppressed? Xu Zhengyuan did things like that because he was helpless.
However, this matter had nothing to do with him. Moreover, it was already late, so if he wanted to leave, he could only leave tomorrow.
Once again entering his room, he couldn't help but glance at the hole in the wall.
The hole wasn't blocked and the situation in the room beside could still be seen. Zong Shou anxiously turned his head.
"He doesn't seem to be here? Did he leave from the back door? "
After being filled with doubt for a moment, Zong Shou didn't bother anymore and started to assemble those parts.
The Wind Traveling Spirit Bone from before only had legs. As for the set he was custom-made, it included the upper arm.
It was also made from Grade Three cloud whale bones, but the material was different. One was made from the ribs, the other from the wings that carried the weight of the cloud whale and allowed it to fly in the air. In terms of toughness, it was at least three times stronger.
There were also many lightning patterns carved on it. The arms and joints were made from metal, shining with a cold glow. It made this set of external bones even stronger.
The hands were the same, similar to sword claws, the five fingers could be wrapped within. Each finger sword was sharp and tough, no weaker than the lightning tooth.
The runes carved on the outside were made from a material known as blood spirit copper. It was embedded into the bones, making the runes harder to damage and harder to repair.
Zong Shou spent an hour to assemble one set. After wearing it, he could feel that this set of external bones was resonating with the lightning phoenix talisman on his body.
He fiercely punched out and crushed the only remaining sandalwood chair in his room.
Sōmorime's eyes lit up as he started to calculate his strength.
"Around nine thousand five hundred kilograms! My strength is around three thousand six hundred kilograms. This set of external bones provides a full five thousand nine hundred kilograms of strength, close to the ten thousand kilograms of strength of a nine meridian mythic master! "
Zong Shou was shocked. The set of new external bones he assembled was called Lightning Travel. It was different from Wind Travel, which used wind power to move, while Lightning Travel used electricity to move.
Both of them had the characteristic of being swift. However, in this aspect, the Lightning Travel Spirit Bone was far above Wind Travel, even exceeding Cloud Stepping Foals.
Its combat ability wasn't weak either. Not only could the five finger sword claws work, but the left and right arms had a space to hide swords. If one had enough soul power, they could even use lightning to injure people.
However, in his last life, this Lightning Travel Spirit Bone could at most provide five thousand kilograms of strength.
"Most probably the cloud whale bones of this era weren't domesticated. Wild items are naturally tougher!"
Zong Shou was excited, his body suddenly moving about in the room, using this bone to try out his fist techniques.
It wasn't the foundation spirit fountain nor the Five Wheel Enlightened King Fist. Instead, it was extremely sharp, ten sword claws bringing with them a cold light. As swift as a tiger, as fierce as a leopard.
However, a moment later, Zong Shou's interest waned.
"This external bone is strong, but when I wear it, the fist techniques I use won't be as nimble as a human body. If I wear it to battle, my combat strength will drop by two levels. No wonder in my last life, apart from those peak external bones that were made by artifact blacksmiths, all the other experts treated them like trash … "
Looking into his body, he realized that in this half a day, he had practiced a round of the sword and a set of fist techniques. However, the essence of the Lightning Phoenix egg that he had absorbed was too little. Only a small amount was truly absorbed by his blood, flesh, and skin. If he wanted to break through, he would need at least a few months.
Shaking his head slightly, Zong Shou sat on his bed, taking out a cloud pattern flying knife and placing it in his palm.
His right hand slightly exerted strength, and the flying knife rose up like a spiritual artifact, hanging half an inch above Zong Shou's palm. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
