Chapter 193 - 167.3 : Physiques (1/2)

When he interrogated Vyncent last time, Arthur knew that the disciples from his sect were supposed to get people from all the three powers and the female he killed on the Spirit Boat was probably the one who was sent to the Naga Tribe. This made his trip to their territory pointless and a complete waste of time.

With this in mind, he was more or less sure that the prince and his sister are most likely not in this world, or at least, not in this barren land. He had nothing to do here so it was time for him to cross the wall of Yang Fire, however, before that, he had to pay a visit to a certain someone.

......

Dark Desert City is a large city situated at the center of the three factions, no one was controlling it but all three powers had some experts stationed here to observe the movements of their enemies. Some small-scale fights would occur but nothing too major, especially inside the city as it is forbidden fight or else the city lord guards will execute them on the spot.

If one were to talk about who has the most authority inside the city, then it would definitely be the city lord, Kang Amitel. He broke through to the God Realm since a long time ago and no one from the factions leaders dares to provoke him.

Kang is an unfathomable character, he didn't fight over power in this land and merely ruled this city peacefully. He rarely showed himself and let his children take care of the city affairs. Only when a big crisis befalls on the city would he show himself to solve the matter.

There was even a time that two generals, one from the Naga and one from the Pigolo dared to fight inside the city but it only ended up with both of their heads hanged of the city gates as a warning for the two factions. What's even more astonishing is that the Naga Tribe and the Pigolos remained silent and didn't dare to fight or demand a compensation.

When Arthur entered the city, he saw a people from the three races and even numerous human cultivators on the streets. There was no fighting like he saw outside and the atmosphere was a bit lively.

The city wasn't overly big, it only spanned a few miles but it had an amazing and unique architecture that made it stand out in this wasteland. It was like a paradise to those weak or rogue cultivators who can't handle themselves outside due to the ferocious beasts lurking under the barren earth.

Only a Heavenly Realm or above can roam freely in this wasteland and in some forbidden areas, even Immortals wouldn't dare to boast about crossing these terrifying places.

Currently, Arthur was possessing the body of a middle-aged woman. She wasn't a godly beauty but she had a special mature aura around her that made her approachable, adding the ethereal state that he has, the woman was like a peaceful angel strolling around the city.

Many young human cultivators coming from different sects outside of the wall tried to talk to Arthur but were friendly rejected. There were some persistent ones but after suffering from the glares of the rest. Arthur's goal in coming here was only to look for a certain someone so he didn't linger there much longer. He paid no heed to the shops selling expensive treasure and went around countless alleyways until he reached a deserted narrow street. He gazed at the wall at the end of the street and smirked before his figure blurred and he teleported, instantly appearing behind that seemingly old wall which actually had a special formation engraved on it.

For Arthur, with the appraisal skill, nothing could escape his eyes. Along with his black lightning, passing through or shattering it is no big deal, especially when it is not that strong to begin with.

........

Gutcha, with a black and torn cloak covering his face, was talking with another man with a low voice in a room devoid of light. The two were quite secretive as they didn't even dare raise their voices, especially the man who was facing Gutcha.

After talking for a while, the man received a box from Gutcha and left after looking around cautiously. His actions were that of a professional, he disappeared from the room without leaving any trace, like a ghost.

Gutcha was also going to leave when he sensed a presence suddenly pop behind him. His first thought was to run for his life but he was immobilized before he could react. Without no way to escape, Gutcha had no choice but try to talk his way out of it

”Please frien--no, benefactor! I did nothing illegal, I can tell you whatever you want if you let me go!”

Seeing the hideous pigolo begging as soon as they met, the female softly chuckled and sat on a chair opposite to Gutcha, who was still freaking out and blabbering a lot of nonsense in the hope of fleeing.

”I see that you still haven't changed your methods.”

Seeing the mysterious female finally talk, Gutcha was a bit relieved that the enemy was willing to negotiate but also confused because she talked as is she knew him but he was absolutely sure that he never saw her in his entire life.
