This was an inn, he looked up at the ceiling, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of soone’s silhouette beside him.
"If you’re able to walk, leave as soon as you can."
A voice suddenly rang out from nearby.
Liu Changfeng rembered it clearly. It was the voice of the young man he had encountered in the trees earlier today.
It seed he hadn’t co to the wrong place.
"Brother Xu," he chuckled lightly.
The smile stretched his facial muscles, causing him such pain that he grimaced.
He began to slowly gather his own spiritual energy, using it to heal his wounds.
As for the injuries to his True Fate, they could not be healed in a short amount of ti, so he had to put them aside for now.
About fifteen minutes later, Liu Changfeng opened his eyes.
His eyes seed to have vertical pupils as he let out a long breath of white air.
At this mont, he was able to move his body simply.
He quickly stood up and bowed deeply to Xu Zii.
He sincerely said, "Thank you, Brother Xu, for the rescue."
"I didn’t save you because I wanted to; I just didn’t want to deal with the trouble of you dying here," Xu Zii said indifferently.
"No matter what, I will always rember your life-saving grace," Liu Changfeng replied earnestly.
"How did you find ?" Xu Zii asked.
"I could detect the scent on Brother Xu, and I followed the scent here," Liu Changfeng replied.
"You really are bold. Aren’t you afraid I’d hand you over to the City Lord?" Xu Zii asked.
"Afraid, but you are the only person I know in this city," Liu Changfeng said. "So I had to try, and luckily, I didn’t misjudge."
"Enough with the sentintality, we are not that close.
I was just too lazy to bother. Since you can walk now, leave as soon as possible."
Xu Zii said indifferently.
"Could Brother Xu do a favor?" Liu Changfeng quickly said.
"No," Xu Zii refused without a second thought, waving his hand dismissively.
"If Brother Xu is willing to help escape Heaven Illuminating City, my Sea Serpent Clan will agree to any demand of yours," Liu Changfeng said unwillingly.
"That’s a nice offer, but your Sea Serpent Clan holds no attraction for ," Xu Zii shook his head slightly.
"Then what do you want, Brother Xu? If I have it, I will give it," Liu Changfeng said urgently.
"I want Taiyang Zuzhao. Do you have it?" Xu Zii said jokingly, without really expecting a reply.
Upon hearing Xu Zii’s words, Liu Changfeng went silent.
After a long while, he nodded and said, "I have it."
Xu Zii looked surprised.
In that mont, Liu Changfeng suddenly felt an overwhelming presence emanating from Xu Zii.
Before this power, Liu Changfeng felt as if he was a small boat adrift on the vast ocean—utterly powerless.
"Do you know what Taiyang Zuzhao is?" Xu Zii said gently.
"Who on the Yuan Central Continent does not know the story of Taiyang Zuzhao and Taiying Youying?" Liu Changfeng retorted.
"Do you realize what you’re saying?" Xu Zii stared into Liu Changfeng’s eyes, asking seriously.
"I’m not certain that it is Taiyang Zuzhao, but our Sea Serpent Clan’s ancestors predicted
that it has so relation to Taiyang Zuzhao." Liu Changfeng said, "That thing has been with our Sea Serpent Clan for so many years, and we haven’t figured out anything.
If you want it, I don’t see any harm in giving it to you.
But you must help return to the Sea Serpent Clan."
"You probably don’t know the consequences of lying to ," Xu Zii said as he turned to look at Liu Changfeng.
"Believe , those are consequences you certainly wouldn’t want to find out."
"I didn’t lie to you," Liu Changfeng replied. "That thing really has sothing to do with Taiyang Zuzhao."
Xu Zii nodded slightly and walked out of the room.
"What are you going to do?"
"Return to the Sea Serpent Clan."
At the second-floor staircase, Liu Changfeng quickly grabbed hold of Xu Zii, saying anxiously,
"Are you crazy? They’re conducting a large-scale search for right now.
If you go out like this, I’m afraid you won’t even make it out of the inn before being discovered."
"If you trust , follow , and I guarantee you’ll be safe," Xu Zii replied indifferently.
Watching Xu Zii’s retreating figure as he descended the stairs, Liu Changfeng pondered for a mont before finally gritting his teeth and following closely behind.
......
The street outside the inn was a bit deserted, yet the guards from the City Lord Mansion passed by on both sides from ti to ti.
They were searching every dark corner.
No sooner had Xu Zii and his companion hit the street than they were stopped by a group of incoming guards.
"Stop, what are you two doing?" the leading head guard asked as he looked at Xu Zii and his companion.
"Leaving the city," Xu Zii replied calmly.
"The city gates are locked down right now, no one is allowed to leave, let check you."
The guard’s tone was irritable as he reached out to grab Xu Zii.
"Clamor," Xu Zii snorted coldly.
In this silent Wu Geng night, only the "clang" of tal was heard twice.
The dazzling light of a drawn sword flickered in mid-air.
Blood scattered in the darkness of the night.
Liu Changfeng looked to the side, only to see that the bodies of the guards had already fallen nearby without his noticing when.
"You’re trying to break through by force," Liu Changfeng quickly realized, shouting out loud.
"What fun is there to be had with a bunch of ants?"
Xu Zii looked up, holding the Tyrant Shadow, and step by step, he walked toward the direction of the city gate.
His aura was commanding, each step bolstering his presence by degrees.
The pitch-black Demonic Qi enveloped him and the blade of the Tyrant Shadow Blade in his hand.
The Tyrant Shadow quivered slightly, as if craving for battle and slaughter.
Xu Zii’s footsteps were light, like the gentle breeze that had just picked up.
On either side of the road were sprouting, lush trees.
With each step they took towards the city gate, faint shouts could be heard from behind.
"To Central Street, soone has been killed, the Sea Serpent Clan must have shown up."
......
Dark clouds, at so unknown ti, had covered the half-moon in the sky.
The night had grown even darker.
Xu Zii looked up, at the heavy city gates so close at hand, and at the guards who ringed him in layers, trapping him inside.
A faint smile appeared on his lips.
"Tonight, the blade knows no sleep!"
Wen Lianggong, the Blood Butcher, descended slowly from the sky, accompanied by Lue Xiongying, and chuckled. "So there’s an accomplice!"
Xu Zii looked up, baring his teeth in a smile at Wen Lianggong. "Do you want to die?"
"Take him down, dead or alive," Wen Lianggong ordered with a tight frown.
As his voice fell, all the guards around them charged toward Xu Zii and his companion.
The shouts were deafening, causing a pain as if piercing through the eardrums.
Their voices joined together, creating an overwhelming, unstoppable force.
Xu Zii slowly raised his head, and at that mont, pale blue arcs of electricity flickered in his eyes.
Deep within those eyes seed to lie a frightening force.
In the instant that the thunderbolt erupted, the space in front of them seed to shatter and collapse.
