"Release the arrows!" Quan Zhen knew Munin's attitude and decisively gave the order.
"Sir City Lord, our daughters are innocent. Yu Zijin wanted to humiliate them … That bastard deserved to die. It really has nothing to do with our daughters." The five girls and their relatives hurriedly pleaded. They all knew that Yu Zijin's death had something to do with Munin, but they felt that they couldn't be ungrateful.
Even if some of them were frightened and wanted to push the blame to Munin, when they thought of Munin's decisiveness, they couldn't help but shudder. They didn't even dare to think about it.
"Stop talking nonsense. A life for a life. You still think you're in the right?" Quan Zhen was unmoved and righteously reprimanded them.
"Can you be any more shameless?" Munin easily dodged the first wave of arrows and said angrily.
"Shameless. Don't you think you're a hero? Quickly kneel down and beg for mercy, and I'll spare those five girls." Under the protection of many armored soldiers, Quan Zhong was arrogant and proud. He no longer feared Munin.
Munin's figure moved and arrived beside the five girls and their relatives. He swept away the few arrows that were shot at them. His cultivation had reached the late sixth stage.
"Stubborn. Continue to release arrows. Let's see who he can protect. He can't even protect himself, yet he dares to pretend to be a hero." Being ignored, Quan Zhong was even more furious.
The arrows were like locusts, shooting towards Munin and the others from all directions, leaving no gaps.
"Didn't you just threaten to kill me? Let's see who's going to die now. You're lucky to have been shot into a hornet's nest. Daring to offend this Young Lord, this is the best outcome. " Seeing that Munin was going to die, Quan Zhong became even more furious. Previously, he had been submissive in front of Munin, and many people had seen it. It was really a great shame. Now, he naturally wanted to vent his anger and warn others not to mention it again.
Countless arrows arrived in the blink of an eye. Munin's expression was calm.
Facing the arrows that blotted out the sky, he wasn't afraid at all. With a thought, he released a protective spiritual light barrier, which covered everyone within a radius of six meters.
Countless arrows shot out, but all of them were suspended in mid-air. Not a single arrow could get close enough to land on the ground.
Quan Zhong and the surrounding soldiers were inexplicably shocked.
Quan Zhen's face was extremely ugly as he said slowly, "Xiantian energy! You are a Xiantian martial artist. "
Before he could finish his words, the many arrows that were floating in the air were shot back.
Pitiful cries could be heard one after another. The iron armor with good defense was actually unable to block the arrows that were shot back.
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the surrounding soldiers were killed or injured.
Quan Zhen's eyes flashed as he said, "Your Excellency's inner strength is profound, but you haven't reached the Innate Realm, right? Why don't we turn hostility into friendship and cooperate?"
"How?" Munin asked. The Quan Zhen in front of him was already difficult enough to deal with, let alone the three first-rate sect masters who had yet to appear.
"Go to the Heavenly Pit outside the city to get the treasure. The secret to advancing to the Innate Realm is there," Quan Zhen lowered his voice and said.
"Why should I believe you?" Munin said vigilantly.
"Look at this," Quan Zhen took out half a piece of animal skin from his bosom and lightly threw it. It flew across the distance of three meters and flew towards Munin.
Munin caught the half piece of animal skin and glanced at it. He discovered that there was a map on it. It was indeed the infamous Heavenly Pit outside the city.
However, the tear marks on it were very fresh. It was obvious that it was done not long ago. It seemed that other than the map, there was something more important on it. However, Quan Zhen wouldn't take it out for others to see.
Munin discovered that the animal skin was emitting a faint spiritual energy. It was actually half a piece of spirit animal skin. He was slightly excited, but his expression remained calm as he asked, "Was this taken from the tomb at the bottom of the azure lake?"
"Swordsman Mu is indeed well-informed," Quan Zhen agreed with Munin's words.
Munin was conflicted. Although the Heavenly Pit was about a hundred meters to the west of Green Rock City, the invisible barrier was still some distance away. He needed to advance to the Seventh Tier before he could go there.
Now that Quan Zhen had mentioned it, he would definitely need to go there soon.
Even if he didn't need the secret to advancing to the Innate Realm, he couldn't let Quan Zhen get it. Otherwise, he would die without a doubt. Moreover, Wen Xu had carefully recorded that place. This meant that it was very likely that there were things that cultivators could use there.
Just as Munin was conflicted, Quan Zhen opened his mouth and said, "Swordsman Mu, if you agree, we'll go there tomorrow. If you don't, then we'll continue fighting."
"I agree." Munin thought for a moment. In a while, as long as the five girls and their families thanked him, he was very confident that he could advance to the Seventh Tier.
"Old Brother Lu, you guys can come out," Quan Zhen said towards a direction.
Four figures walked out from the eaves of a house.
"Uncle Lu, Sect Master Fu, Guild Master Bai, Pavilion Master Zhang …" When Quan Zhong saw them, his expression became arrogant again. He coldly glanced at Munin.
No wonder he had such a reaction. Other than Lu Qin, the Vice City Lord, the other three were the leaders of the three first-rate gangs. At the same time, they were also rare First Rated Warriors.
Including Quan Zhen, there were a total of five First Rated Warriors. No matter how strong Munin was, it was useless.
However, now that Munin and Quan Zhen had temporarily reconciled, Quan Zhong naturally didn't dare to say anything more.
Both sides smoothly reconciled. After the others left, the five girls and their families dared to thank Munin profusely.
"Young Hero, thank you …"
"Big Brother, I will never forget your great kindness!" “
"You're a true hero."
After everyone left, the five girls and their families kneeled on the ground to express their gratitude. It was unknown whether it was out of genuine gratitude or fear of Munin, but they could still move. Regardless of the corpses and bloodstains on the ground, they could still move.
Munin comforted and treated these people so that they would have the strength to leave.
"Boom!" The invisible barrier quickly expanded and covered most of Green Rock City. It also barely covered the sinkhole. His cultivation had officially reached the seventh tier.
Not long after Mu Ning returned to the Sundry Goods Store, he received news that the City Lord's Mansion had issued a notice, saying that they had found the secret of a great improvement in martial arts, and that it was in the sinkhole outside the city. All the gangs in the city were called to investigate, and the secret would be shared.
Tonight, everyone gathered at the Celestial Tower to discuss the details of the sinkhole.
Not long after, the City Lord's Mansion's Chief Butler, Yi Fu Cai, personally came to invite Munin to the Celestial Tower. Naturally, Munin flatly refused.
With the City Lord's Mansion's invitation, the other forces naturally didn't dare to refuse the City Lord's Mansion's invitation. Moreover, it was a secret of great progress in martial arts. Who wouldn't want to take a look?
The forces in Green Rock City that could be considered as forces were the thirty-six small gangs, thirteen medium gangs, three First Rated gangs, the City Lord's Mansion, and the top ten families.
However, most of the gangs were crippled by Munin. Only those who were at least Third Rated Warriors could go.
