109 Chapter 109 Lightning Walking Spirit Bone (1/2)
Chuxue was baffled as she carried those wooden trays, looking at the backs of their visitors in doubt.
”That's weird! Why did they send over these items to us? Was that weapon shop also opened by the City Lord?”
Zong Shou smiled, but didn't reply. He grabbed a Cloud Pattern flying knife and played around with it in his hand.
The material quality of these knives was no weaker than that of the Lightning Tooth swords. The Cloud Pattern talismans on them just needed to be slightly mustered and mist would come out. It carried Cloud Shocking God Destroying sword intent, much stronger compared to his current Willow flying knives.
It was still as thin as a cicada's wing, but it was sharper.
His focus wasn't on the knife at hand, but coldly looking at a building opposite them in the distance.
That was the City Lord manor, fifty foot high stone walls totally separating the huge and wide patio from the outside. On the right there was a building slightly higher than the stone wall. It was ten thousand feet away from him, but looking out one could see that there were two people up there.
”What else can it be for? People sent the things we ordered over naturally because they want us to leave…”
Chuxue gave out a ”ah”, she did not understand. That person at the end had told them to stay here for a few more days. That person was treating them like a plague, making them really unhappy.
Yin Yang's face turned gloomy, his expression really ugly. Zong Shou was still smiling with his eyes squinted.
Cloud Saint City has great scenery and is peaceful, the best area to tour and look around.
The meaning was obviously that they didn't want to be wrapped up in this storm. If something bad happened then it would go from peaceful to things happening. Even if the scenery here was great, no one would come over to tour.
He had seen through it and also understood the tough situation that the Cloud Saint City Lord was in. If it was him, he would probably handle the matter the same way… but he still felt slightly uncomfortable and unhappy in his heart.
Not even bothering to meet and just directly chasing them away, that was a little too much...
Mocking himself, Zong Shou stopped looking at that building as he walked back within his own courtyard. Actually, without needing the City Lord to remind him, he was already prepared to leave, it was just two days earlier.
Getting the Cloud Pattern flying knives and external bone parts early was actually a good thing.
He thought back to the peaceful and comfortable days. As expected, they didn't last long. It was impossible to even find a quiet place to live...
To be able to survive in this world, he couldn't depend on others. Only depending on his own strength, sword art, and spiritual techniques would he be able to have a stable foundation.
He had to take this seriously...

”Liancheng, is that the Gantian Mountain Prince?”
Ten thousand feet away, in that five story building, an old man in robes was looking over. His face was redder than dates and his expression was calm and peaceful.
Looking out from there, he was able to see the thin and weak-looking teen outside of the stone walls. ”To be able to sense me, this person is really sensitive and sharp! He doesn't look like someone who hasn't cultivated?”
”This Prince does in fact have something special about him. However, I ordered people to observe him for several days and didn't notice him showing any signs of cultivating, and it looks like he hasn't trained in the soul. If he had trained in either there would be signs on his body. But master, you saw that this person doesn't even have a bit of martial cultivator energy, and neither does he have any soul power that seeped to the outside…”
The one who spoke was behind the old man. His face was filled with wrinkles, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler, standing there with his hands down. He was wearing a black robe and one was unable to see anything special about him… except when he occasionally raised his head, his eyes were like an eagle.
That old man frowned, ”Although that is true, I feel really uneasy. Mr Lei Dong told me to try my best to take care of him. In the end, not only couldn't I respect his wishes, instead I am chasing him away…”
The face of the butler known as Liancheng changed, looking a little helpless, ”This matter isn't your intention and is because of pressure from many sides. Mr Lei Dong always does what he wants, after ordering people to send his instructions he didn't even appear, making one doubt. Maybe Mr Lei Dong has already forgotten about the matter. This person is in a whirlwind and this matter concerns the fate of many sides in Donglin. He is said to have some connection to the Eight Tail main sect of the Sky Fox race. This isn't something our Cloud Saint City can interfere in. A trash with a Dual Meridian Body is not worth our city doing so much for him. Making him leave is the best way!”
The old man hesitated, finding it difficult to make a decision. After a short while he sighed, ”I can only be sorry towards him, but before he leaves I still need to meet him and send him away. I don't want to form any relationship with this person, but neither do I want to make enemies with him. There has to be some reason Mr Lei Dong thinks so highly of him. Prepare some presents later to bring over!”
Liancheng was startled, raising his head only to see the calm expression on the old man's face, his tone and expression one that didn't accept any doubt. He had no choice but to stop what he was about to say, not persuading him anymore, ”Liancheng will follow your instructions! But as for the scale of the gift…”
That old man was in deep thought and didn't reply. Liancheng bowed slightly before going down into the building. He also knew that his old master's meaning was not to treat him so importantly, just normally would do.
