Chu Li threw the purple-robed man into the outer town of the City of Thousand Swords and appeared on a mountainside. There were six stone towers built there.
The Unparalleled Sword and Sky Regicide Sword were placed in one of the towers. With the suppression of the formation, the City of Thousand Swords would not be able to sense the two swords. It was the most convenient way for him to retrieve them at any time.
The next moment, he appeared in his courtyard and laid motionless on his bed.
The sun had already set and the afterglow dyed the house dark red.
Gu Jiu pushed the door open and handed him a bottle of Spirit Medicine and a lunchbox.
Chu Li smiled. "Senior Brother Gu, there's no need for a lunchbox. I can eat outside the town."
"How can the food outside compare to ours? The taste is terrible and the ingredients are even worse. Eat these. Then, take the pills. Don't forget to take them." Gu Jiu waved his hand.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Gu." Chu Li nodded.
"Rest well. Guo Huai has realized his mistake and will come to apologize to you. We're from the same faction. Let's turn a blind eye and not be calculative." Gu Jiu smiled.
"Yes," Chu Li replied.
Gu Jiu smiled in satisfaction. "Alright, eat by yourself. I'll come again tomorrow."
"Senior Brother Gu, there's no need." Chu Li quickly declined.
Gu Jiu waved his hand and left.
Chu Li let out a long sigh and opened the lunchbox. There were six dishes, two soups, and a plate of desserts. It looked, smelled, and tasted great. It was indeed better than the restaurants outside.
Chu Li pondered as he ate. Which sword should he snatch next?
He had already obtained three out of the nine swords. Although the Monarch Descends was not with him, he could retrieve it at any time. Of the remaining six swords, three were guarding the inner town and could not be obtained.
There were three swords left. One should be with Governor Guo Biru while the other two were with the two top-notch masters. It would not be easy to find them.
After eating, he disappeared in a flash and reappeared in the stone tower. He held a sword in each hand and activated the Heavenly Star Insight.
After a long while, he suddenly disappeared from the tower with a flash and appeared in a bustling city. After a few turns in an alley, he arrived at a bustling street.
His appearance had already changed to the appearance he had when he obtained the Unparalleled Sword. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at a restaurant. Then, he strolled up to the second floor of the restaurant.
He sat in a corner, called over the waiter, and ordered two dishes and a jar of wine. As he drank the wine, he listened to the conversation of a table not far from him.
As the sun was setting, the restaurant was bustling with activity. The tables were packed with people. Chu Li was able to find an empty table in the corner because the position of the table was too bad. No one was sitting there.
Chu Li drank his wine and ate his food calmly, blocking out the noise around him. He could only hear six people talking at a table not far from him.
The six of them were all middle-aged. Their faces were solemn and they didn't say a word.
The middle-aged man sitting in the main seat had a flawless, snow-white complexion. It was as if his face was carved out of white jade. He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and was extremely handsome.
He sat at the table, deep in thought. The other five did not speak, as if they were afraid of disturbing his thoughts.
After a while, the pale-faced middle-aged man said indifferently, "Let's do it tonight."
"Alright!" the other five replied.
The pale-faced middle-aged man said softly, "It's going to be a fierce battle. Everyone, be prepared."
"Brother Xia, don't worry. We know what's important," another middle-aged man said slowly.
The pale-faced middle-aged man said, "If this sword is real, we'll have done a great deed. We'll be able to enjoy it for the rest of our lives."
The other five nodded and smiled.
The City of Ten Thousand Swords had a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. If they could really snatch the Divine Light Sword, they would be able to enjoy it for the rest of their lives.
The pale-faced middle-aged man said, "But we have to be smart. If the Moon Frost Sword can stop it, then it's fake. There's no need to waste our energy. If the Moon Frost Sword can't stop it, then it's most likely real."
The thin middle-aged man opposite him slowly said, "Brother Xia, if the Moon Frost Sword is really damaged, it'll be a huge sin!"
"It's fine." The pale-faced middle-aged man shook his head. "If we can get the real sword, it'll be worth it even if the Moon Frost Sword is damaged. The mayor won't blame us."
"We still have to be careful," the thin middle-aged man said.
Xia Fei smiled. "Alright. I won't do anything unless it's a critical moment."
He suddenly froze, and his movements froze.
An invisible force drilled into his body from the bottom of his feet, and his body stopped. He wanted to circulate his energy, but he was powerless. It was as if his body did not belong to him.
His vision blurred, and an ordinary-looking middle-aged man appeared in front of him. He pulled him up and disappeared.
The light was distorted, and he fainted.
When he woke up, he found himself lying on a pile of grass in a cave. A middle-aged man was sitting next to him, looking down at him.
Chu Li realized that this trick of his had always been successful. The six of them did not resist, and he had succeeded easily.
Then, he slowly questioned them like he did with the purple-robed middle-aged man. He used the Omniscient Mirror to ask about the Moon Frost Sword Technique, then asked about the appearance of the other Bleeding Sword.
Then, he did the same thing and put the other Weeping Blood Sword into his pouch.
He quietly and unknowingly obtained the three swords.
The Moon Frost Sword was extremely Yin and cold. It could absorb moonlight, so it was especially powerful at night.
Under the moonlight, the body of the sword would absorb the moonlight. After activating the Moon Frost Sword Technique, it would become invisible, completely blending into the moonlight. The existence of the sword was almost undetectable.
The Bleeding Sword, on the other hand, would kill upon contact. Once the sword was pierced, it would absorb the opponent's blood essence and continuously replenish the user's energy.
Each of the nine swords had its own advantages, but he felt that the Sky Killer was the most powerful. The other swords were amazing, but they were not as good at killing as the Sky Killer.
Unfortunately, the Sky Killer was useless to others. It was powerful, but it burned its lifespan. Lifespan was the most precious thing to a person, so it was best not to use it.
The Peerless Sword, Moon Frost Sword, Bleeding Sword, and the Sky Killer were suppressed in the Wheel Pagoda. They were isolated from the City of Ten Thousand Swords' senses and could not be found.
He began to recuperate in the City of Ten Thousand Swords. He wandered the streets leisurely while the people of the City of Ten Thousand Swords gradually returned.
However, Zhu Lengying, Hu Tianfang, and the others did not return.
Chu Li used the jade pendant to sense that Zhu Lengying was not in danger. It seemed that the people of the City of Ten Thousand Swords did not completely believe the Heaven Shake Pavilion's words.
Unfortunately, without the nine swords, the City of Ten Thousand Swords was not strong enough. Even if they encountered the Divine Light Sword, they might not be able to snatch it. They just could not accept the fact that they had made a wasted trip and lost three swords.
One morning, he felt Sun Mingyue's call, so he suddenly appeared at the peak of a mountain. He saw Sun Mingyue in a snow-white robe, standing quietly in the cold wind. Her white robe fluttered, her graceful figure faintly discernible. The white veil on her face was lightly brushed, revealing her jade-like face.
When Chu Li appeared, she turned to look at him. She took off the white veil, revealing her beautiful face. Her bright eyes glanced at him. "If I didn't call for you, you wouldn't have wanted to see me?"
Chu Li smiled.
Sun Mingyue scoffed. "Don't worry, I called you here for official business."
Chu Li showed a puzzled expression.
Sun Mingyue said, "I received news in the sect that there is a secret skill that can sense the Heavenly Demon."
Chu Li was stunned. He shook his head. "There's no such secret skill, right?"
"I heard it's in the Boundless Surpassing State," Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li frowned and thought about it. He really did not know there was a place called the Boundless Surpassing State.
Sun Mingyue said lightly, "The Boundless Surpassing State is also a branch of Buddhism. It's not in the Grandmaster Realm."
