Upon hearing this voice, everyone looked towards the second floor.
However, they didn’t see anyone, only a shadow standing behind Xu Zhi’an, face obscured.
"Governor."
Everyone stood up, cupping their fists to greet him.
The Governor actually hadn’t been in Ghost City for very long, but he held significant power there. It could be said that whenever Xu Zhi’an was absent from the city, the Governor handled all affairs of Ghost City, and even the three Generals had to obey his orders.
No one dared to underestimate this mysterious Governor.
Moreover, there were powerful strongn guarding alongside the Governor.
"Everyone, take your seats." The Governor spoke calmly.
Li Hengsheng could not clearly see the Governor’s face, but he had an odd feeling.
"Governor, what do you think the reward should be?"
Xu Zhi’an turned back and addressed the Governor.
"For soone who can fight one against five, such strength is a great asset to our Ghost City. As the City Lord, it’s only right you reward him with sothing good."
The Governor replied with a smile.
"Indeed it is," Xu Zhi’an didn’t deny, and then took out a small box from his ring, tossing it directly to Li Hengsheng. Li Hengsheng caught it and found it quite weighty.
Xu Zhi’an said with a smile, "Li Yun, this is your reward, keep it well."
"Thank you, City Lord." Li Hengsheng did not rush to open it to see what was inside, placing it directly into his bosom.
However, it aroused envy and jealousy in many; to be personally rewarded by the City Lord, what an honor!
But none of them dared to covet Li Hengsheng’s stuff, after all, it was personally given by the City Lord, did they dare to snatch it?
That would be courting death, wouldn’t it?
"Since the City Lord has rewarded you, I shouldn’t be stingy either." At this mont, the Governor spoke again, "I noticed you use a spear as your weapon, and I happened to stumble upon a spear before. It’s quite good. I’ll reward you with it, hoping you’ll continue to make more achievents for Ghost City."
With those words, the Governor swayed his hand, and a spear flew out, buzzing as it pierced the ground.
The bluestone on the ground was punctured!
The eyes of everyone present lit up; it truly was a fine spear!
The luster was restrained, but it exuded an indescribable aura of dominance.
"Why does this spear look so much like the Overlord Immortal Spear?" Soone couldn’t help but say in curiosity, "I’ve seen a depiction of the Overlord Immortal Spear, and it looks similar to this."
"It should be a replica."
Soone couldn’t help but suggest.
But Li Hengsheng was astounded upon seeing this spear.
The spear in front of him was none other than the Immortal-Extinguishing Spear.
The Immortal-Extinguishing Spear he had lost, now appeared before him just like that.
However, Li Hengsheng didn’t go up to pull out the spear imdiately, as he felt a bit panicked inside.
What did the Governor an by this?
Why was the Immortal-Extinguishing Spear in his possession?
What was the point of giving it back to him now?
A test?
Or sothing else?
Li Hengsheng felt as though this mysterious Governor had already learned about his identity.
This feeling made Li Hengsheng very uneasy.
"What, don’t you like it?" the Governor asked softly.
"No, I like it very much, thank you, Governor." Li Hengsheng gritted his teeth and went forward to take the Immortal-Extinguishing Spear in his hand.
The familiar feeling was still there.
With the Immortal-Extinguishing Spear in hand, Li Hengsheng felt his strength grow a bit stronger.
After all, this was a spear that had accompanied him for a long ti.
"Alright, let’s continue. Is there anyone else who wishes to co up and challenge?" Xu Zhi’an asked calmly.
But at this ti, who would dare to challenge Li Hengsheng?
Li Hengsheng fought one against five, and in their eyes, his strength might even rival the leaders; going up would be suicide, wouldn’t it?
Since no one challenged, Li Hengsheng returned to his seat.
Until the end of the banquet, Li Hengsheng did not see the Governor again and had to leave for now.
But after returning ho, Li Hengsheng was not so worried anymore, because the Governor made no further moves, indicating that either he didn’t know his identity or knew it but had no intention of acting against him.
What was his purpose?
Finally, Li Hengsheng opened the box given by the City Lord, finding a Spirit Vine inside.
This Spirit Vine contained imnse spiritual power, and refining it would empower oneself and swiftly convert inner strength into Innate True Essence!
This made Li Hengsheng greatly delighted.
The treasures previously rewarded by the General had been refined by Li Hengsheng, only converting half of his inner strength, but this Spirit Vine, with such potent power, could convert at least twenty percent of his inner strength!
In this way, a quarter of his inner strength would be converted.
anwhile, Hai Dongsheng had just returned to his residence when he received a letter.
Seeing the return address, Hai Dongsheng was very excited and quickly opened the letter.
"Huh?"
Upon reading it, Hai Dongsheng’s expression changed; the letter ntioned that the Su Xianci from the Southern Wilderness’s Su family indeed knew a person nad Li Yun.
"Could I really be mistaken?"
Hai Dongsheng was a bit puzzled.
His intuition was very strong that Li Yun was Li Hengsheng, originally thinking this matter was certain, but had unexpectedly failed to find evidence that Li Yun was Li Hengsheng.
Hai Dongsheng’s conviction began to waver.
Maybe he was truly mistaken.
