840 Mysterious Shadow (2/2)
Suddenly, a voice sounded in the square. The voice seemed near yet far at the same time. No one could pinpoint which direction it came from. It had a peculiar tone; no one could make out whether it was male or female. However, in an instant, it had covered the entire square, entering everyone's ears.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the voice, frantically searching for its source. But they discovered that the voice had no source. At the same time, they could not locate the person who had spoken.
However, Yun Pengqing and Wang He's eyes lit up. It was because they had heard this voice once before.
”It's him!” Yun Pengqing exclaimed in a low voice.
”As expected.” Wang He took a deep breath. He recalled their speculation over the past few days. It had actually come true.
Mei Yixuan and Qi Hang's figures also suddenly trembled. They looked at each other and saw the look of astonishment in each other's eyes.
The terrifying mysterious person had once again appeared!
”Who is sneaking around? Show yourself,” Yang Gongcheng coldly shouted. He suddenly stood up from his dragon chair. Both of his eyes were flickering with brilliant light as he attempted to search for the owner of the voice. However, to his astonishment, he discovered that he could not find any trace of the owner at all. The voice seemed to appear from thin air, evenly covering every corner of the square.
”I am right in front of you. Are you blind?”
Just as everyone was searching for the owner of the mysterious voice, a faint shadow suddenly appeared in the square silently. It stood just ten meters in front of Yang Gongcheng.
It was a person that was wrapped entirely in a straw cape and wore a bamboo hat on his head. The straw cape was very peculiar, appearing hazy and ethereal and causing others to be unable to see the person in the straw cape clearly at all. His entire person seemed to be a mass of ethereal shadow.
There were at least more than a thousand people in the square. Everyone wanted to see who was in the straw cape, including Yang Gongcheng and Xie Rengui. No matter what methods used, the results were all the same. They could only see a mass of shadows.
Also, if they observed closely, they would sense hallucinations appearing in their minds. The mass of shadows would seem to be moving to the left, then right, then up and down, becoming even more of a blur.
”You are the mysterious person that ruined my plans?”
Yang Gongcheng looked at the shadow before his eyes. His expression involuntarily turned serious. He felt somewhat strange. He was now of the Golden Elixir Realm, yet he actually could not even see this person clearly. This caused him to become somewhat involuntarily cautious.
”Didn't you want the Dragon City Talismans? I still have many here. Come take them if you can.”
The mysterious shadow slowly extended a hand. The hand held several silver talismans. The runes on them flashed, sparkling brilliantly. They were Dragon City Talismans, and a stack of eight of them at that.
The ancient martial art practitioners in the square looked at the Dragon City Talismans in the hands of the mysterious shadow. Their eyes were wide open as they stared motionlessly at the Dragon City Talismans. The Dragon City Talismans were items that could cause bloodshed in the martial art circle. One Dragon City Talisman was enough for two sects to wage war until blood flowed like rivers. This mysterious person actually had eight of them!
Yang Gongcheng's eyes were wide open. His eyes sparkled. He could not wait to snatch all the Dragon City Talismans from Mo Wen's hands.
Eight Dragon City Talismans! Even all the Dragon City Talismans of the Baili Sect combined only added up to around this number.
The members of the Baili Sect were all wide-eyed. They could not disguise the look of greed in their eyes.
”Godfather, quickly get hold of those Dragon City Talismans. With them, the ability of the Baili Sect will certainly skyrocket! It is even possible for us to cultivate another Golden Elixir Realm expert. When that time comes, the martial art circle will belong to the Baili Sect,” Fu Yu said massaging his ego as she looked greedily at the Dragon City Talismans in the hands of the mysterious shadow.
The Baili Sect had a limited amount of Dragon City Talismans, and she was not high-ranking enough to have one. If they could take these Dragon City Talismans, she might be able to get her hands on one.
Just thinking about heading to the mysterious Dragon City made her feel excited inside. Rumor had it that there were treasures everywhere in Dragon City, and there were endless opportunities there. With her talent, it would probably be difficult for her to break through to the Embryonic Breathing Realm in a lifetime. If she could head to Dragon City, she might be able to become a top expert one day.
Yang Gongcheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Seeing so many Dragon City Talismans, right now even he could not retain his composure. However, he did not simply act. It was because he knew that the person before him was also an expert. A slight moment of carelessness would very likely result in his immediate defeat.
”The Dragon City Talismans are right here. Do you have the balls to take them?” The mysterious shadow taunted him with a soft laugh. Yang Gongcheng seemed to see his mocking gaze.
