"En."
Suddenly, a powerful aura enveloped the area. Fang Chen raised his head to look, and a smile appeared on his face.
The city lord appeared in the sky, his aura surging and enveloping Fang Chen.
"You!"
The city lord was just about to capture Fang Chen when he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Crash!
The Andong City Lord landed on the street. Immediately, all the martialists on the street retreated.
"City lord Fang Chen."
The city lord softly asked.
"City lord Fang Chen."
Fang Chen cupped his hands.
"Hahaha, so it's city lord Fang. I was too impulsive." After learning of Fang Chen's identity, the city lord mischievously laughed, a bit embarrassed.
"It's fine." Fang Chen waved his hand.
He originally hadn't planned on revealing his identity, but he had been discovered by the city lord as soon as he had arrived.
"City lord Fang, how about coming to my residence?" The city lord laughed.
Fang Chen nodded in agreement.
After Fang Chen and the city lord left, many martial artists were flabbergasted.
"Who was that young martial artist just now for the city lord to invite him like that?"
"According to what the city lord said, he seems to be a city lord."
"What city lord? Such a young city lord, could he be the Five Elements Sword City's city lord?"
In an instant, the news of the Five Elements Sword City's city lord, Fang Chen's arrival, spread throughout the entire city.
The outside world was incomparably lively, but within the city lord's residence.
Fang Chen and the city lord were sitting on a stone bench in the garden, chatting wittily.
"City lord Fang, how come you have the time to come here?" The city lord laughed.
"I was just passing by and was preparing to rest," said Fang Chen.
"So it's like that. Then city lord Fang can stay in my residence," said the city lord.
Fang Chen nodded his head. The character of this Andong City Lord wasn't bad.
"City lord, I just entered the city. How did you discover me?" Fang Chen curiously asked.
After all, even if it was a Profound King Realm expert, it was impossible for him to emit his soul force at all times and envelop the entire An Dong Sword City.
If that was the case, it would consume a lot of soul power.
Hearing this, the Andong City Lord's expression changed slightly before he said, "City Lord Fang, you might not know, but recently, some strange things have happened in my Andong Sword City."
"Oh, what strange things?" Fang Chen asked.
"An Andong Sword City's martial artists have mysteriously disappeared."
After hearing the detailed explanation from the Andong City Lord, Fang Chen felt that something was amiss.
"City Master Andong, do you suspect that there are Profound Kings targeting your Andong Sword City's martial practitioners?" asked Fang Chen with a frown.
"Other than this, what else is there to explain?" The Andong City Lord helplessly shrugged.
Fang Chen fell into deep thought.
This matter was indeed a little strange.
At first, the True Martial Realm martial artists disappeared, then the Mysterious King Realm martial artists disappeared.
"Can I take a look at the corpse of that Profound King Realm expert?" Fang Chen suddenly asked.
"Of course."
After saying this, the Andong City Lord brought Fang Chen to where the corpse was stored.
In the depths of the City Lord's Mansion, there was a heavily guarded area.
The corpse of the Profound King Realm expert was stored here.
In the past few days, the City Lord's Mansion's experts had been studying the corpse, but they hadn't found anything.
"City Lord."
The two guards cupped their hands towards the City Lord.
The City Lord nodded his head and brought Fang Chen inside.
Within a spacious room, there were quite a few Profound King Realm experts, and they were currently studying the corpses.
"Did you find anything?" asked the City Lord.
When they saw this, those Profound King Realm cultivators stopped what they were doing, and then one of them said, "City Lord, through our research, we've discovered that he died suddenly from having all the blood in his body sucked dry."
"Died from having all his blood sucked dry."
Hearing this, the City Lord tightly frowned.
"The opponent should have an extremely tyrannical forbidden cultivation technique that can instantly suck away a martial artist's blood and then cause the martial artist's corpse to fester and quickly turn into bones," said another person.
The City Lord sank into deep thought.
As for Fang Chen, he walked straight towards the corpse.
Several Mystic King Realm martial artists blocked Fang Chen's path.
"He's my good friend," said the City Lord.
Hearing this, they let him go.
Fang Chen arrived in front of the corpse and carefully observed it.
"Boss, I sense a familiar aura," the Little Mouse on Fang Chen's shoulder suddenly said.
Hearing this, Fang Chen heavily nodded his head.
"That's right, he does have a familiar aura," said Fang Chen.
Just as he approached the corpse, Fang Chen discovered that this corpse had a very familiar dark aura.
He had once felt this dark aura in the God Burying Sword Prison.
"Could it be that there's a problem with the God Burying Sword Prison?" Fang Chen inwardly thought.
However, at this moment, the Communication Token vibrated.
Fang Chen took out the Communication Token and a voice came out.
"Fang Chen, you've returned to the Sword Burial Prefecture, right? Recently, that lifeform under the God Burying Sword Prison has become extremely active. I suspect that the strange things that have happened in the Sword Burial Prefecture are related to that lifeform."
This message came from the Sword Burial Immortal Palace's palace master.
The palace master had already known that Fang Chen had entered the Sword Burial Prefecture.
"I'm leading some Profound Kings in front of the whirlpool in the depths of the Endless Ocean to suppress that lifeform. I can't leave. I'll have to trouble you to investigate those strange things."
The palace master said a lot, but it was all in one sentence.
He wanted Fang Chen to help investigate the strange things that had happened in the Sword Burial Prefecture.
The City Lord's expression was incomparably gloomy. He was very unhappy.
"City Lord," called Fang Chen.
"Yes, City Lord Fang. Have you discovered anything?" asked the City Lord.
"I've discovered some clues, but I'll need your cooperation," said Fang Chen.
The City Lord was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "No problem. City Lord Fang, just say the word."
The sun gradually set and the Sword Burial Prefecture became incomparably dark.
There were only a few twinkling stars in the sky.
Late at night, there wasn't a single person on the streets of the city.
The streets were so dark that one couldn't even see their fingers if they stretched out their hands.
However, at a certain hidden spot in the city, something suddenly wriggled a few times. Following that, a black shadow instantly appeared.
The moment this black shadow appeared, it was discovered by Fang Chen and the Andong City Lord who were secretly watching.
"As expected, someone did it on purpose."
Although the City Lord didn't clearly see the face of this black shadow, he already couldn't wait to kill it.
"Wait a bit," said Fang Chen.
On the main street, the black figure moved forward rapidly. It didn't take long for it to find a courtyard. After which, it entered the courtyard with ease.
Rip!
The black shadow grabbed a True Martial Realm expert who was sleeping soundly in the courtyard and enveloped him in a black mist.
In the blink of an eye, the True Martial Realm expert turned into a skeleton. Then with a gust of wind, the skeleton turned into powder and was blown away by the wind.
"Do it."
Seeing this, Fang Chen and the City Lord immediately took action.
Huala!
A berserk aura instantly filled the air.
The sky above the Sword Burial Prefecture was incomparably bright.
Fang Chen teleported and appeared on the streets, then rushed towards the black shadow.
The black shadow discovered that it had been exposed. Its figure flashed and directly drilled into the ground, then disappeared.
"Yes."
When Fang Chen arrived, the black shadow had already disappeared without a trace.
"City Lord Fang, where's the thief?" The City Lord hurriedly asked.
"He drilled into the ground," said Fang Chen.
"Then what do we do?" asked the City Lord.
"Follow me."
Fang Chen shuttled through space-time and took a step forward, instantly appearing outside Tranquil Sword City.
"Attack the east!"
Fang Chen roared. Then, he waved the Hidden Star Sword. Suddenly, a majestic sword-light violently bombarded the eastern land.
Seeing this, the Andong City Lord did not hesitate to use his strongest attack.
Rumble!
The powerful attacks of the two instantly created a large crater outside the Sword Burial Prefecture.
Ah!
A miserable shriek came from the crater. Then, a black shadow flew out and blood splattered across the sky.
"He's trying to escape!" The City Lord roared when he saw that the black shadow was trying to escape.
Fang Chen held the Hidden Star Sword horizontally. Within his Qi Sea, three completely opposite sword Qi instantly appeared and quickly condensed.
The aura around him suddenly rose to its peak.
"Three Revolution Radiance Sword Technique."
