There was only one sound that could freeze the charging Xuantian City guards.
— They were really frozen.
One move, one motionless.
Even Cynanchum Chinense and the other two were surprised.
"Did you see that? They didn't even move the hair on their faces …" Cynanchum Chinense exclaimed softly.
Using divine light to control every pore and strand of hair, of course, it was indeed possible to do so, but who exactly was it that could actually command such strict obedience and make them so reverent?
Moonless Nichang's eyes were like needles as she looked into the distance and bit her lip.
— A big shot from Xuantian City had come.
That person's existence had finally alarmed the higher-ups.
— But this was to be expected.
How could the glaring rays of the sun be covered by mere clouds?
But … it was still too early.
"My … My Lord …"
The captain of the guards trembled as he spoke. His tone was full of respect. "How dare I ask you to speak?"
Although it was a telepathic message, it proved that this big shot was paying attention to this insignificant King City.
"Who is it?"
Princess Long asked softly, but no one could answer her.
"Third Young Master Shen."
That voice didn't pay attention to the Guard Captain, but shouted at Shen Zhenyi through the air.
"Are you willing to come to Xuantian City to defend yourself?"
This person's tone was arrogant and had a condescending aura.
Shen Zhenyi was silent for a while before he asked casually, "Who are you?"
— Finally, there's someone you don't know.
Cynanchum Chinense complained in her heart. Did he really think that Master knew everyone! That was common sense, right?
"I am the Nine Gates Commander of Xuantian City, a disciple of the Three Emperors, Yuan Yuzhen."
In this remote city, not many people had heard of this name before, but in the outer city, it was like a thunderclap!
This was a person who had truly stepped into the upper echelons of the True God Realm.
He was also an expert who controlled the life and death of Xuantian City.
"The Three Emperors Sect …"
Shen Zhenyi was not interested in the name of Yuan Yuzhen, let alone the position of Commander of the Nine Gates of Xuantian City.
He only repeated the words' Three Emperors Sect '.
"How should I defend myself?"
Shen Zhenyi shook his head. Memories from a thousand years ago might not be of much use.
He asked in return.
"As long as you come to Xuantian City, there will be arrangements."
There was pride in Yuanyu Zhen's tone. "Don't worry, Xuantian City won't kill the innocent, and we won't overstep our boundaries. Since you've come to the city, I must find out the truth. "
Go to Xuantian City?
Moonless Nichang raised her eyebrows and said, "Isn't that at your mercy? I don't agree! "
She stood proudly at the top of the city wall, as if anyone who wanted to take Shen Zhenyi away would have to step over her dead body first.
Unfortunately, Shen Zhenyi ruined her plan.
"As I said earlier, as long as you give me half a year, I will personally head to Xuantian City to explain everything. Don't worry."
"Half a year?"
Yuanyu Zhen's tone was cold.
But what could be changed in half a year? Even if the Abandoned Sword Villa had a fortuitous encounter, they were still petty and lacked foresight.
"Alright, half a year it is. After half a year, I will await your arrival in Xuantian City! Guards, retreat! "
He thought for a while and finally made a decision.
The guard captain's expression was ugly, but Yuanyu Zhen had personally given the order, so there was no way he could interfere. He could only wave his hand and whistle. The Black Armor Torrent that had been frozen like ice started flowing again and retreated in unison.
"No!"
Just as everyone heaved a sigh of relief, Moonless Nichang shouted sternly.
"Didn't I just say that I don't agree with Shen Zhenyi going to Xuantian City? Don't tell me that in King City, my words don't count?"
She stood with her hand on her sword, and her aura was awe-inspiring.
Yuanyu Zhen was truly angered this time. His words were cold and impatient. "Then what does the Moonless City Master want? What do you want? Does King City intend to rebel against the Human Race Alliance? "
Until now, Xuantian City was still the leader of the Seven Wounds World. All the cities obeyed its orders.
If Moonless Nichang was determined to not allow Shen Zhenyi to go to Xuantian City, it would be equivalent to King City breaking away from Xuantian City's control.
— — This was no different from rebellion and betrayal.
"If you don't have a diamond drill, why would you take on a porcelain job?" Moonless Nichang was neither servile nor overbearing. She said proudly, "If he wants to go, that's fine, as long as he can —"
"— accept! I! One! Sword! "
Her voice was crisp and clear as she calmly made her request.
What?
Not only Cynanchum Chinense and the others, but even Yuanyu Zhen was stunned.
At their level of cultivation, one sword was not just one sword. With Moonless Nichang's current status, if she attacked Shen Zhenyi, if Shen Zhenyi didn't die, it would be Moonless Nichang's failure.
— — She might not even be able to keep her position as the City Lord of King City.
Hence, if she wanted to attack Shen Zhenyi, she had to give it her all.
And at their level, if they were to go all out, then no one knew what kind of result would result from a sword that had no eyes.
— — Could it be that Moonless Nichang also wanted to kill Shen Zhenyi?
"City Lord?"
Ouyang Jue was confused.
Moonless Nichang was clearly the main force that wanted to protect Shen Zhenyi. She even tried to stop the guards. Why did she suddenly change her attitude?
Could it be that he didn't understand the City Lord's intention from the start?
Yuanyu Zhen was also slightly surprised.
After all, Moonless Nichang was a veteran. Even he, who grew up in Xuantian City, had heard of it. He could only frown and say, "That's your city's own business."
He paused and added, "If Moonless City Lord succeeds in the sword test, then please go to Xuantian City yourself and defend the Abandoned Sword Villa. If not, then please ask the Third Young Master Shen to go. "
If Moonless Nichang really wanted Shen Zhenyi to receive the sword before letting him go to Xuantian City, then he would die if he couldn't receive the sword.
If he could receive the sword, then he would be the undisputed number one in King City.
— — Yuanyu Zhen couldn't be bothered. At his level, sometimes only one result was needed.
"Okay."
Shen Zhenyi's voice was faint and seemed a little helpless.
"I've already owed you this sword for a thousand years."
"Since there's such a chance, I'll wait for you to attack!"
He did not evade, nor did he evade.
This sword … he was willing to receive it!
But … what did he mean by that?
Ouyang Jue, who was already stunned, was even more stunned now.
A thousand years ago?
Owed him a sword?
Could it be that Shen Zhenyi and the City Lord already knew each other a thousand years ago?
How was that possible?
Ouyang Jue quickly shook his head, trying to get rid of this ridiculous idea. The City Lord was already a Divination. That was why he could forcefully increase his lifespan and live for more than a thousand years.
No matter how powerful Shen Zhenyi was, he was still much weaker than the City Lord.
Even if he was really a sixth level True God, how could he live for more than a thousand years?
