"King City."
Far away in the wilderness, a middle-aged man in ragged clothes was holding half a bottle of turbid wine. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the blurred city wall.
Although this majestic city was old, it still looked majestic from afar.
Among the cities in the Southern Region, this King City didn't have an important position. After all, its location was relatively remote and its scale was only average.
But even the Southern Region Patrol Guard of Xuantian City couldn't underestimate this city.
Because the City Lord here was Moonless Raiment.
She was a Sixth Level True God a thousand years ago.
"Master, is that Moonless City Lord really that strong?"
Beside the middle-aged man, a thin and dark young man said disapprovingly, "Why do we have to be so polite to them?"
The middle-aged man smiled. His tired eyes flashed with a trace of sharpness.
"Of course."
His tone was solemn.
"When she reached the Sixth Level True God Realm, she was extremely talented and accomplished at a young age. She was even younger than you are now …"
The young man was shocked and asked, "She broke through the Sixth Level True God Realm so early. Why didn't she go to Xuantian City?"
The younger one was, the faster they improved. They would be seen as a martial arts seed.
If Moonless Raiment had really broken through the Sixth Level True God Realm at his age, or even younger than him, how could the Marquises of Xuantian City not notice?
The middle-aged man sighed sadly.
"She didn't want to go."
A thousand years ago, this matter was very shocking.
At that time, Moonless Nichang was both beautiful and strong. She was originally the key candidate of the King Marquis. Unfortunately, she was stubborn and refused to leave King City no matter what. This made the King Marquis of Xuantian City helpless.
"Refused to go?"
The young man widened his eyes in shock. He spent so much effort and went through the selection process to be able to step into Xuantian City.
He couldn't imagine that there would be someone who would give up such an easy opportunity.
How could those who worked so hard endure this?
"Why?"
He asked his master stubbornly.
The middle-aged man continued to sigh.
"She kept saying that she has someone to wait for."
"Only when she beats this person will she go to Xuantian City."
— — Young people were always competitive.
At the beginning, the Marquises could understand and be patient with Moonless Raiment.
But as time passed, day by day, year by year.
Hundreds or even thousands of years had passed, but Moonless Nichang and the others still hadn't come.
She had also turned from a stunning genius into a figure that made people wring their hands in pity.
This middle-aged man was Ye Zongchang, the Southern Region Patrol Envoy of Mystic Heaven City.
He was here to investigate why the Hall of Life Extinguishing Hall and the Beastmen Organization had sent out a Sixth Level True God to deal with a nobody in King City.
The most puzzling thing was that the two Sixth Level True Gods had both died silently in King City.
How did they die?
Xuantian City had to find out the answer to this question.
If it was all done by Moonless Raiment, then her strength seemed to have surpassed the control of Xuantian City.
Ye Zongchang was actually very worried about this.
He was an expert of the older generation. He had personally experienced the commotion caused by the Moonless Raiment back then.
This time, he had an ominous premonition.
In comparison, Ye Zongchang's disciple, Little Night Soul, was a little fearless.
This young Little Night Soul was his direct disciple and had been nurtured with all his strength since young. He passed the city entrance examination and became a martial arts seed chosen by Xuantian City's Marquises. Now, his strength was not below Ye Zongchang's.
Little Night Soul happened to come to the Southern Region to visit his master. When he heard that his master was going to carry out an investigation, he begged to follow.
Ye Zongchang was helpless and could only bring him along. However, he reminded him repeatedly not to cause trouble.
Unfortunately, Little Night Soul didn't seem to care.
Even if it was a senior from a thousand years ago, he didn't care.
"After a thousand years, even if he's extremely talented, he's now a cripple."
He thought so.
"Master, don't worry. I'm here!"
Ye Zongchang smiled bitterly. "Don't be so arrogant. The Iron Addict Beast and the Reincarnation Envoy are not easy to deal with. They both died in King City, so we have to be careful."
These two people died strangely, and all the forces were very suspicious.
Little Night Soul shrugged. "No matter what, King City is still a subordinate of Xuantian City. No matter how powerful that Moonless Raiment is, she has to follow the rules. If she has any ulterior motives, I won't let her off!"
He had been cultivating in Xuantian City, so naturally, he followed the rules of Xuantian City.
Ye Zongchang just shook his head. He was always outside and naturally knew the current situation. Even though Xuantian City could control all the other cities, the relationship between them was not that close.
Moreover, this matter was strange to begin with.
The Hall of Life Extermination had cooperated with Xuantian City. Now, it was said that there were people going to Xuantian City to ask the elders for an explanation.
This matter was very sensitive. Ye Zongchang felt like he was being roasted on a rack and couldn't find a solution. He wasn't as relaxed as Little Night Soul.
"In any case, let's go to that Abandoned Sword Villa first."
He frowned. If there was no other way, he planned to abandon the Abandoned Sword Villa.
In any case, he couldn't deal with the pressure from above.
Moonless Raiment was unfathomable, and he couldn't afford to offend her.
The Abandoned Sword Villa was the easiest to bully.
Ye Zongchang had already planned this in his heart.
They walked leisurely all the way to King City.
At the same time, the Hall of Life Extermination, the Beastmen, and other large organizations also turned their attention to this remote city in the south.
Two experts had died mysteriously, and the forces behind them had to get to the bottom of this. They couldn't just let it go.
The Beastmen Organization was fine. After all, they were on bad terms with Xuantian City and were in a completely opposite position. However, the Hall of Life Extermination had cooperated with Xuantian City. They sent special envoys to Xuantian City and King City to understand the situation.
As the eye of the storm, the Abandoned Sword Villa was calm.
Shen Zhenyi was as carefree as usual. Even the Cynanchum Chinense and the other disciples weren't too worried.
What were they afraid of when they could even kill a sixth level True God?
Master … is omnipotent!
The most important thing now was to improve their martial arts so that they could share Master's burdens in the future.
With this thought in mind, the Cynanchum Chinense also stepped up her sword practice.
This day, she was at the entrance of the villa. Under the bronze sword, she was comprehending the sword intent left behind by Shen Zhenyi and the Reincarnation Envoy. She wanted to integrate it into her own martial arts and find a chance to break through to the sixth level of the True God Realm.
Just as she was comprehending something and swallowing the sword energy, she heard a mocking voice.
"Master, this girl's sword energy is so weak. Is this the ability of the Abandoned Sword Villa?"
