Chapter 1114 - Aptitude (2/2)
Fang Xingjian was slightly stunned, and he recalled the various scenes, information, and data from when Ulpian performed those two moves.
…
Simultaneously, the Silver Mage King stood on the peak of a snow mountain in the north. Several thousand spheres kept on spinning behind him. He looked toward the sky, seemingly seeing through the atmospheric layer and noticing the changes to the Nine-Tiered Heavens.
“What are you actually planning?”
A short moment later, a voice rang out behind the Silver Mage King, “Senior Mage King, it’s been a while.”
The Silver Mage King turned and saw a silver-haired young man smiling and standing behind him. It was Wei Jin, the young man who had exchanged blows and held a conversation with the Silver Mage King on the Morning Star.
The Silver Mage King looked at the young man and asked, “Why have you come?”
Wei Jin shrugged. “Senior, why are you asking the obvious? Do you remember what I asked you on Morning Star? I’d like to know what Senior’s reply is.”
The Silver Mage King’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he cast a long look at Wei Jin before saying, “If things are really as you said, then I’ll have to take a good look.”
Wei Jin smiled, and a big golden door suddenly appeared behind him. The door opened, and he turned and said invitingly, “Senior, please.”
The Silver Mage King threw a glance toward the big golden door and stepped in expressionlessly. Wei Jin followed right behind him, and a short moment later, the door closed and disappeared.
There was another Silver Mage King at the spot where the previous one had been standing. Clearly, the one who went through the golden door was just a clone.
This was something very normal. There was no way that he would send his main body over to accept the invitation of a deep and unfathomable yet extremely mysterious influence.
Watching as the golden door disappeared slowly, the Silver Mage King mumbled, “The Saints Association? I hope they don’t disappoint me…”

In the Empire’s Eastern Sand Region…
Three Demigods wearing uniforms and Scarlet Capes cut across the midair, dragging out three streams of long air currents behind them.
In the blink of an eye, a small desolate town appeared before them.
This small town that was called the Gold Mountain Town had once prospered due to the presence of gold mines. Countless miners, bandits, big organizations, prostitutes, gold diggers, and many other people had gathered here.
However, as the gold mines dried up, the population decreased incessantly. The town that had once been prosperous became dilapidated.
The reason why the three Demigods had come was a murder case.
One month ago, the town mayor sent out a request for help. There had been a tragic case where an entire family had been wiped out, placing the townsmen on tenterhooks. Therefore, they sent out a request to the Knights in the Yellow Sand City nearby to get them to help investigate this case.
One week later, five Knights were sent to the town, then all contact with them was lost.
The Yellow Sand City then sent out another ten Knights and one Conferred Knight, but they also lost contact as well.
Right now, the Empire was prospering, and the nearby Sand Country, the plains, and the Western Sea’s island countries would all send in a large amount of resources for trade each year. Due to this, the number of Knights had also been increasing. However, it was still a big case for a Conferred Knight to go missing.
The city lord felt that something was not right and immediately reported this to the Eastern Sand Region’s Regional Office.
Therefore, this time around, a total of three Demigods were sent to the Gold Mountain Town to investigate the situation.
