Legend of Swordsman - Chapter 5923
Chapter 5923: I’ll Block It!
“I’ll go out and hold them off, you guys go investigate the situation inside the city!” With these words, everyone was shaken.
Let Danbao go outside to face the enemy while they reap the benefits inside the city.
This doesn’t seem right at all!
And some things just don’t add up.
Why did they come here?
Certainly not for these ordinary treasures.
But for the path to resurrection.
Danbao, as the god of life, is the opener of the path to resurrection.
Let Danbao take the brunt of it.
Even if they have no face to show.
Even if they were shameless, they wouldn’t dare to do this!
The monk was the first to object.
Divine Wood King also stepped forward to persuade.
The rest were also moved.
Only Jian Wushuang remained silent.
At this moment, Elder Blu also felt that it was unnecessary to act this way.
Why not just let Babi Emperor in?
They could rely on Danbao’s Shield of Life to resist.
Danbao smiled faintly and reassured, “Let them in, I also need to use the Shield of Life, I’ll use it anywhere, might as well use it outside!”
“I agree!” Jian Wushuang stood up and turned to the others, saying, “I think Danbao is right, since we’re all going to rely on the Shield of Life to protect us, why not use it to safeguard the entire City of the Sky outside, which is more important than us in the City of the Sky!”
This last sentence was a bit ruthless.
But it did calm the others down.
Safeguarding the City of the Sky is more important than them.
What if this is the test?
“Danbao, I’ll go out with you!” Elder Blu nodded, choosing to support Danbao’s decision.
The rest going out wouldn’t help.
Although Elder Blu’s strength wasn’t great, he was of the same clan as Danbao.
The two were of one mind.
Seeing this, the Great Monk’s eyes flashed with an imperceptible light, and he also stepped forward.
“Alright, let’s leave it at that!” Danbao interrupted the actions of those who still wanted to go out.
Only taking the great monk and Elder Blu with him, he left the city wall.
Divine Wood King watched the backs of the three, sighing, “Truly worthy of being the God of Life, for him to become a god, I admire him!”
“Divine Wood King, let’s go down and investigate this City of the Sky first. Maybe there are some tricks here, and we can also make Danbao come back sooner!”
Seeing the other party continue talking endlessly, Jian Wushuang quickly interjected to remind everyone that they still needed to enter the City of the Sky.
Time couldn’t afford to be wasted any longer.
The others nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Divine Wood King began arranging people to search the area, dispersing them for a thorough investigation.
Being the founder of the Ancient Wood Sect, he naturally possessed inherent leadership abilities.
Each person was assigned to cover a specific area with their Thought power, aiming to explore the entire City of the Sky in the shortest possible time.
“Lian Xing, you go to the southeast district with Brother Wushuang to investigate together!”
“No problem!”
Jian Wushuang and Lian Xing exchanged a similar smile before setting off.
Divine Wood King was aware of their close relationship, deliberately pairing them up.
The two of them moved at an extremely fast pace, arriving at a corner of the southeast district
in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
However, the area was already quite extensive, requiring an hour for them to search
thoroughly.
It wasn’t a matter of simply flying around but rather meticulously examining every corner.
“Wushuang, let’s split up and search!”
Jian Wushuang nodded and replied, “Alright!”
The two of them separated and transformed into meteors, entering the city.
As Jian Wushuang landed on the ground, he could finally sense the overwhelmingly
transcendent feeling present.
Divine power pulsed through the area.
Clearly, someone of great power had been here before, perhaps a god.
Merely residing in this place could turn it into an invaluable site for cultivation.
Observing the material of the city walls, Jian Wushuang found nothing special about them.
It was the lingering aura of that influential figure that had influenced the City of the Sky.
As he casually strolled along the deserted streets, a gentle breeze swept up the dry leaves on the white stone pavement, reminiscent of the mundane world.
These leaves were probably left behind by Chi Tenggui, absorbing the power that the previous occupant had left behind.
It was no wonder he was so formidable.
If he were to retract all the vines back into his true form, he might not be inferior to Chi
Jiuxiao.
Unfortunately, before he could retract the vines, he was severely injured by Chi Jiuxiao. He
might be on the brink of falling now.
Jian Wushuang carefully searched each location along the streets.
“Too slow!”
He still felt he was moving too slowly.
So, he split into countless clones, flying out from a small courtyard in all directions, while the main body leisurely walked along the wide streets, casually entering any mansion to search
around.
There were still many movable objects in this area, such as tables, chairs, and lamps, even doors that could be dismantled and taken away.
However, doing so would be sacrilegious.
“Hmm?”
One of his avatars arrived in a courtyard somewhere, finding it impeccably clean with not even
a door in sight.
The windows were gone too!
Someone really dared to do this!
His telepathy spread out.
In an instant, he detected a familiar aura.
In this vicinity, it was just him and Lian Xing.
Lian Xing wouldn’t stoop so low.
So, it must be Wu Li who came in early!
Whoosh!
His figure flashed.
Sensing that aura, his true self instantly teleported in front of Wu Li.
“Jian Wushuang!” Wu Li, startled by someone approaching, jumped a bit.
Then, seeing it was Jian Wushuang, he sighed in relief, complaining, “Can’t you give a heads up before coming, you scared me!”
Seeing the chair Wu Li was holding, Jian Wushuang frowned and said, “That’s enough. While there is indeed someone’s aura on the items here, there’s no need to break in!” “That’s where you’re wrong. If we just absorb them individually, even this chair, it would take you several days to completely absorb the aura above. We don’t have time to wait now. It’s better to take everything and absorb them outside slowly!” Wu Li stepped forward, casually taking down a painting and handing it to Jian Wushuang, comforting him, “Don’t overthink it. Though we both have substantial wealth, we still need to plan for the future. Our divine powers are similar, with basic divine power over a million. You know how troublesome it is to increase divine power later on. Not to mention the treasures spent, just the time wasted on them is significant. These items not only don’t cost you anything, but they also increase your divine power. Just this painting, absorb it well, and you’ll gain at least a hundred divine power. In any random courtyard here, you can find hundreds of similar items, that’s ten thousand divine power. How much of the City of the Sky do you dare to imagine?”
Smack!
Jian Wushuang, frowning, directly tossed the painting away.
“Hey!” Wu Li, however, treasured it as if it were precious, hurriedly picking it up, intending
to continue persuading, but Jian Wushuang interrupted him directly. “You keep yours, I’ll keep mine. Don’t worry about me. I came here not for these things!”
With that said, he vanished in a flash.
What Wu Li said was right. Planning for the future was right.
