"Pass!"
The leader waved his hand broadly and shouted.
The next mont, dozens of horse-drawn carriages slowly began to move, and the road that was previously blocked was soon unobstructed.
In the center of the convoy.
Inside the carriage sat none other than Huyan Blade.
Including himself, there were three Dao Realm practitioners from the Sword Sect, patrolling the dozens of mansions near the Sword Sect.
"Who exactly are we looking for?"
Huyan Blade murmured to himself.
It’s not just the Sword Sect; according to the information he received, all Nine Gates had been deployed, and all of them were Dao Realm experts.
They all carried it.
His gaze fell on the silver stone in his hand.
He had examined this stone up and down no less than hundreds of tis, but without any discoveries.
It was completely indistinguishable from an ordinary stone.
"What exactly does the Lord want to do?"
At that mont, the carriage stopped.
"Sir, we’ve arrived at the inn."
The man who had previously bribed the leader said in a low voice.
"Hmm!"
Huyan Blade nodded in response and got off the carriage.
"Please, sir, everything is arranged."
The man extended a hand and said respectfully.
"Not bad."
Huyan Blade nodded in satisfaction. Following his request to keep a low profile, this inn was the most ordinary one in Moran City.
Fortunately, it was large enough.
Otherwise, such a large caravan might not have been accommodated.
...
In the room.
Huyan Blade looked at the map of Molan Mansion. Moran City was divided into four domains: east, south, west, and north.
"If things go quickly, it won’t take more than a few hours."
If he wasn’t worried that making too much noise would attract attention, he could complete the sweep in just one hour.
But next would be the towns under Molan Mansion.
There were as many as a hundred. Completing the sweep of all these would take at least half a month.
In his view, this was not just like looking for a needle in a haystack, but also reliant on luck.
If the person the Lord was looking for kept moving, searching like this would be useless.
"Forget it, never mind."
Huyan Blade sighed deeply.
The Lord had mobilized the strength of the Nine Gates to search for soone; even if he had so thoughts, he wouldn’t dare express them.
He just had to do the task diligently.
...
As night fell, Huyan Blade quietly left the inn.
He began sweeping from the Eastern Domain.
A few hours later, Huyan Blade found himself at a corner of an alley.
"All four domains—east, west, south, and north—have been swept; now only the Central Region is left, but there...."
His gaze turned towards the direction of Prince Xuan’s Mansion.
An array was unabashedly scanning the area within ten thousand ters of Prince Xuan’s Mansion.
This made things difficult for him.
Although he had concealed his aura, he was uncertain whether the array would detect him.
Moreover, it was said the strength of this Prince Xuan was not weak.
He wasn’t afraid, of course, being a mid-stage practitioner of the Seven-fold Dao Realm—a city prince was of no concern to him.
But he feared exposure, and if it caught the attention of Great Yu, it would be troubleso.
"The area inside the array won’t be searched."
After pondering for a while, Huyan Blade imdiately made a decision.
Under the night sky, his figure, ghost-like, flitted through the central street.
He remained ever watchful of Prince Xuan’s Mansion’s array, forcing him to change his route several tis.
In Qiuyuan.
Yao’Er, who had been cultivating, suddenly opened her eyes.
"Hidden Kill!"
Her eyes instantly brimd with murderous intent.
Against Hidden Kill, the Shadow Guard had so unique ans.
Moreover, this aura seed sowhat familiar.
"This person holds a high status!"
Instantly arriving above Prince Xuan, waves of spiritual power gushed forth like a tide.
"There!"
Yao’Er’s eyes imdiately fixed on the left front, a figure continually moving.
"What’s wrong?"
Chen Xuan approached him.
"There’s soone from Hidden Kill nearby, and it’s an expert!"
Yao’Er spoke in a deep voice.
"Hidden Kill?"
Chen Xuan appeared puzzled, but his heart imdiately understood—no guessing needed—it must be soone coming for him.
"That direction!"
Yao’Er pointed in the direction ahead on the left for him.
Chen Xuan’s eyes flashed blue, and under telepathy, he imdiately saw everything clearly.
"Huyan Blade!"
Unexpectedly, it was him.
Yao’Er, beside him, was also curious—without using spiritual power, did his eyes cleanse the rules just like hers?
Chen Xuan withdrew his gaze, his expression turning ’grave,’ "A mid-stage expert of the Seven-fold Dao Realm, I suppose!"
"Seven-fold!"
Upon hearing these words, Yao’Er’s pupils contracted sharply.
But then a fiery excitent erged.
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly, "You’re not thinking of making a move, are you?"
This woman... Huyan Blade, the Sword Sect’s Sect Leader, not just any ordinary fighter.
In her eyes... did Hidden Kill hold so imnse allure?
But one must be realistic, right?
She was only at the fifth stage of the Dao Realm. Though a spirit cultivator could catch others by surprise and potentially injure Huyan Blade, the probability was not high.
If she truly angered him, a maddened Huyan Blade would be catastrophic for Moran City.
"Your strength is definitely not weaker than a Seven-fold Dao Realm practitioner."
Yao’Er suddenly spoke, her eyes fixated on him—like she wanted to devour him whole.
"What do you want to do?"
Chen Xuan imdiately felt sothing bad—this woman wouldn’t just.....
"Help hold him off for at most half an hour."
"Are you kidding!"
Without hesitation, Chen Xuan refused. Although he did not fear Huyan Blade, he would have to exert full force against him.
Moreover... he could only mobilize the spiritual power refined in his dantian right now.
In this situation, facing Huyan Blade was very dangerous for him.
"If you act, things between us will end here, and I will never tell the National Preceptor about this incident."
"And I’ll help keep your secret!"
