Chapter 576: What One Sees and Hears (III)

Li Hao was equally confused and transmitted to Panther, “Are monster spirits this dumb? Or is this snake a fool and offered to help before understanding anything about the situation?”

The young man was confounded himself and didn’t dare let the snake follow him. The monster spirit was huge! Although it was a metamorphosis expert, that didn’t make it invincible. It would be quickly discovered by others.

There was one point that Li Hao was puzzled by—who’d taught the big snake before?

No matter what, he had the snake’s promise to help. If he was exposed and hunted down for his deeds, he could direct his escape in this direction. He’d already mentioned that metamorphosis level heavyweights wouldn’t be enough, but the snake had promptly agreed all the same. Perhaps there were even stronger monster spirits residing at the Kui Mountains.

Panther didn’t respond—it didn’t have the ability to respond. It’d actually grasped an inkling of the truth. Perhaps the snake’s reaction was because of itself! Mmhmm, the great dog was the reason for all this!

The old turtle had said last time that it possessed a noble bloodline and was the descendant of something called the Monster Spirit Envoy. That entity oversaw all of the monster spirits in the world!

If they ran into any major monster spirits, anyone with the slightest drop of an ancient bloodline would realize Panther’s true existence. The more of an ancient bloodline that was present, the more respectful they would be. Perhaps they might even come to pay their respects!

The big snake had plainly sensed some, but did not understand why, so it was extremely polite and refrained from offending the trespassers.

You’re mooching off of this mighty dog!

What a pity Panther couldn’t voice its thoughts or write them down. Otherwise, it’d scratch out the truth and tell Li Hao it had nothing to do with the human, it was all due to his great canine companion!

The young man and dog crossed through the mountains with their respective thoughts in mind and entered the eastern continent. V/\IssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).co/m for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce

Oowerhouses from the central region arrived on the borders of Silver Moon at this time. Large sums of them were gathered in the neighboring Near River province.

The Director General Office.

Various heavyweights raised their glasses to Director General Fan Chang.

“Director General Fan, you’ve fought both Earthturner Sword and Light Sword. What are your estimates of their strength?”

“Very strong!” Fan Chang responded solemnly. “Qian Feng and I fought two against one with Hong Yitang, but we still retreated in defeat. Qian Feng died in battle and I paid the price of one arm to barely escape!”

The group reeled back with shock. That was very strong alright!

Li Hao wasn’t currently in the mood to consider any of this. Fan Chang’s machinations would’ve brought him to Southern Ford if he was still in Silver Moon, no matter how dangerous it might be. It was a foregone conclusion. As a martial master—or rather, as a denizen of Silver Moon—he wouldn’t idly sit by at a time like that.

But since he wasn’t there at the moment, it had nothing to do with him. He’d even temporarily set aside the matter of the White Shark Raiders in order to seize the Windchaser Boot first.

The young man was already inside Calm Borders. He stopped traveling via dog in order to cover his tracks. He found a leash from somewhere and bought a small car with star coins he’d randomly seized a while back. With those preparations, he drove toward the provincial capital.

East Heart City was Calm Borders’ capital. That was where the Xu manor was located and, in fact, the city was named by the Xus. It meant that the city was the heart of the east.

Li Hao drove extremely quickly as tomorrow would be the seventh day of Xu Zhen’s death. He barged around on the way there, completely ignoring whatever was in his way. All obstacles were pulverized with sword energy before imminent collision, creating a wide avenue for him no matter where he went.

Who would laugh at his driving skills now? He was so good at driving that there wasn’t any road he couldn’t maneuver around!

He drove from morning to night and finally reached East Heart City at the end of the day. Windchaser Boot, I’m coming for you!

The city appeared particularly prosperous—the east did indeed flourish much more than the north. It was well into the night, but it presented a sight similar to Southern Ford. It was all lights and music and action. A magnificent manor stood in the center of the city, equally as resplendent as the metropolis around it.

Since his car bore foreign plates, Li Hao had to pay three hundred star coins to enter the city. It was highway robbery! No wonder the city was so rich!

He found a hotel, parked, and checked into a room. He wasn’t too far from the Steadfast Duke’s manor. No one would think that he’d spent two days traveling from Silver Moon to Calm Borders, would they?

Society was thankfully disorderly these days and information exchange difficult between various regions. The dynasty’s systems were hard to unify, so there was no need to prove his identity. Li Hao smoothly took up residence in the hotel; he pretended Panther was a pet and led it into the room.

As he walked through the lobby, Li Hao sighed with appreciation that girls in the east were more free-spirited than the north. Since it was much hotter here, many of them were showing off nice long legs.

A pretty girl patted Panther on the head when they were in the elevator. For one horror-stricken second, Li Hao thought the dog might erupt with fury and bite her hand off. But he quickly discovered that Panth was drooling at her legs...

Even a dog liked women these days! No wonder his teacher had run off with Jadelight Sword and completely vanished from sight. There wasn’t any news of them to be had recently. Li Hao was the poor soul who had to travel with a dog!

......

Li Hao quickly put his affairs in order upon entering the room. He changed into a new set of clothing and added a scholarly air to his bearing with a pair of glasses. After eating dinner, he led Panther out for a walk.

It was said that there was a street in front of the Steadfast Duke’s manor that used to be part of the complex. The duke opened it to the public to endear himself to the people, and also because royal authority had been curtailed after the royal family withdrew. Light Sword had killed the five generals on that street, it was very close to the manor.

Li Hao didn’t have time to collect information, so the best idea at this time was to draw closer for a look. Martial masters were difficult to determine, but any supernaturals that may be powerhouses wouldn’t escape his notice!
