Chapter 375: Can't Handle the Game?
"Did you hear what the little girl just shouted earlier?"
"The Wolf God... she was shouting 'the Wolf God!'"
"Hiss... Could it be that the words previously spoken by Lian Cangqing were true? Is the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain among us?"
"Even the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain has entered... How lively it must be inside this city! I wonder what kind of extraordinary treasure could evoke such excitement among these top-tier cultivators."
Outside the Zhuxian Town, cultivators are filled with tremendous excitement, all due to the fervent summoning of Xiao Ai.
Upon hearing that call, both Nangong Zhi and King Zhennan furrowed their brows slightly.
Upon witnessing the disappearance of that thunderous light within the city, King Zhennan looked with disbelief and uttered, "Even the Wolf God has entered... Could it be that there truly exists some extraordinary treasure within the Zhuxian Ancient City?"
Duanmu Zhi stood by, abiding in silence, not daring to utter more words.
After a moment's pause, King Zhennan made a decisive decision and said, "Baiyu, accompany me to enter the city and assess the situation! If there truly is an extraordinary treasure emerging, we must assist the Wolf God in repelling those wicked creatures. We cannot allow the treasure to fall into the hands of those vile beings!"
After finishing his words, King Zhennan turned his gaze towards Duanmu Zhi and said, "Madam, it will be your responsibility to handle the situation outside the city. Fortunately, the residents within the city have already been relocated, so even if there are some unexpected events, it will not lead to great suffering for the people."
"But if there should be any irreparable, unfavorable changes occurring after we enter the city, please inform the capital immediately, Madam!"
After speaking, King Zhennan, accompanied by his attendant Baiyu, transformed into shimmering light and flew into the city.
Outside the Zhuxian Town, the deafening clamor filled the air as cultivators grew increasingly excited witnessing one after another mysterious lights flying into the ancient city before them. They knew that only those with great supernatural powers would dare to enter at this moment.
On the other hand, Lu Heng, who flew into the city gates with Xiao Ai, furrowed his brows as he stepped into the city. In that instant, the dilapidated streets before his eyes transformed into a completely different scene, no longer resembling what he had seen outside the city.
A blood-stained yellow earthen wall stood before him, and the ground was covered in congealed black blood, scattered everywhere. It appeared as if he had arrived at the scene of a massacre, where bodies had been removed.
And Lu Heng, at present, found himself standing in front of this mansion that had tragically fallen victim to a massacre.
As for what lay behind Lu Heng, it was not the gate of the Zhuxian Ancient City, but a dark and narrow yellow clay road.
In the instant he stepped through the city gate, he found himself inexplicably transported and positioned in a certain corner within the city?
Just as she took the next step, the street view ahead disappeared, and so did the figures of the adult and two children.
Appearing before her and Lu Heng was a dilapidated inn. The shabby signboard of the inn, now only half remaining, hung crookedly above the entrance, swaying slowly in the chilly breeze.
Like the lifeless body of a hanged ghost hanging from a tree.
This street, obviously, was not the same one they had seen before, but rather a different place.
Xiao Ai, who witnessed this scene, understood.
"If we walk out of the street, will we be transported to another place within the city?" Xiao Ai's expression grew slightly solemn. "The Wolf God, if that's the case, it will be difficult for us to reach the city gates!"
Lu Heng furrowed his brow , and gestured directly with his hand.
"Heavenly Thunder Sword."
With a casual whisper, Xiao Ai's bronze sword on her back instantly transformed into a streak of green light, soaring into the night sky.
In this city where even Lu Heng cannot escape using light-speed flight, the Heavenly Thunder Sword, primarily forged from Heavenly Thunder Sand, seemed unaffected, still soaring into the sky.
Amidst the chilly gusts of cold wind, the blade of the Heavenly Thunder Sword trembled ever so slightly, filled with excitement for the imminent unsheathing.
However, upon furrowing his brow and contemplating for a moment, Lu Heng dispelled the thought of drawing his sword. With a gentle wave of his hand, the Heavenly Thunder Sword in the night sky transformed into a streak of green light and once again descended onto Xiao Ai's back.
Having abandoned the thought of drawing his sword, Lu Heng turned and walked away, making his way towards the exit on one side of the street.
In the cold wind, Lu Heng's indifferent whisper lingers.
"Take another look, after all, it is an ancient relic, at the very least."
On the desolate street, where the cold wind howls, fallen leaves whiz by, while dilapidated walls and ruins line both sides of the road, with tightly closed doors and windows.
But this time, Xiao Ai didn't feel the eyes watching her and the Wolf God behind the doors on either side.
It is unclear whether it is due to the absence of things behind the houses on this street, or if those things were frightened by the Wolf God's recent attempt to unsheathe Heavenly Thunder Sword.
The Wolf God, though he didn't truly unsheathe Heavenly Thunder Sword just now, the slight emanation of sword aura trembling from the blade already revealed a great deal...
Staring at the ruins on both sides, Xiao Ai whispered, "The Wolf God, what do you think would be the reaction of whatever is behind these doors if we were to run over and smash them?"
