“I sense two, no, three sword intents. Two are from the same origin, and the other one… interesting.”
As expected of G.S.D, not long after stepping onto this floor, he had already detected him, Siate, and Barn from a higher floor, and acutely noticed the difference between Ghost Sword Technique and Sword Control Technique.
Isabella's gaze swept over G.S.D and Shalan; she knew both of them. When her eyes landed on Yuena, her gaze sharpened. Someone from the Holy Order?
But when she saw Mai Lu, her expression completely changed. She unconsciously looked down at her own, actually quite decent, curves, and then sighed deeply.
Alas…
Can't compare, can't compare. Even the Third Princess lost.
“Your Highness Isabella, Sky City is not a good place for leisure; it’s full of dangers.”
Shalan's seemingly caring words contained a hint of unwelcoming sentiment.
The predecessor of the Delos Empire, Perus, once captured Hales, the leader of the Dark Elf organization “Night Destroyer,” and used her as leverage to obtain some of the Dark Elf's magical profound arts.
In recent years, the Delos Empire, full of ambition, had conquered the Belmare Principality. Even a drunkard on the street could guess that the next step would either be Heoju, which was in isolation, or the underground Dark Elf Kingdom Vannes.
As for the Bantu? It was too cold there, and the value was too low.
Although Shalan was very willing to get along with humans, she had some reservations about the Delos Empire, which had old grudges with the Dark Elves, especially since the other party was the Third Princess.
“I can distinguish between adventure and fun, President Shalan.”
Isabella smiled, but her helplessness was evident. Emperor Lyon Heinrich was a loving father to her, but to other countries, he was a complete schemer and not very likable.
She liked to play incognito with Seles partly because of this reason.
“Has someone gone up?” Shalan asked.
“Four Sword Saints, Barn.”
Shalan nodded, took out an ancient, almost tattered scroll, and slowly unrolled it in the air. “Ancient records state that when Bakal occupied Sky City, he created powerful Light Warriors to prevent Arad people from entering the Heavenly Realm. The strongest among them was the Light City Lord, Seghete!”
“I don't know if what you said about Seghete being immortal is true or false, but Kakun's father did have some dealings with Bakal and left a dying wish.”
Shalan looked at him with a somewhat unclear meaning in her eyes. How did he know a piece of information that only the Dark Elf race, with their long lives, could have known?
“Is the Light City Lord very strong?”
Isabella's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She had thought that the Saint Barn would be an unchallenged expert in Sky City, but now it seemed a bit uncertain?
Nothing bad will happen, right…
“I don't know, because there is no data describing Seghete's combat power. However, as Bakal's Guardian sealing the two realms, he might not be weaker than the Ice Dragon Skasa, who is still in slumber. So, I specifically invited a strong protector.”
“I did feel a fluctuation; there is an extremely terrifying light energy up there.”
Although G.S.D was blind, he still raised his head slightly, seemingly looking directly in a certain direction, where there was a huge threat.
“Let's go. Since the passage has been opened, rather than letting other Adventurers anger the Light City Lord and cause the Great Magic Array to collapse, we might as well settle this today.”
As he walked past Ye Lin, G.S.D slowed his steps. “You two are very good. If you need anything, bring two bottles of good wine and find me in the Hutton Mar Backstreet. This Old man has no money to buy it, and I still owe Socia a lot of money, hahahaha.”
“After dealing with Sky City, we will visit you.”
Ye Lin excitedly pulled Siate and bowed respectfully. The expert was inviting disciples.
Besides their own good talent, the reason the Old man was willing to talk to them was probably also because Linus had been to the dojo and mentioned them a bit.
Isabella and Shalan, who were beside them, were even more surprised. This expert actually initiated a conversation?
“I feel like I've been fooled by you; you're simply not human!”
Yuena, who had just returned, was panting and looked displeased. She had run down from Sky City to find the Magic Academy, then found Shalan, then followed Shalan to find Kakun. Fortunately, G.S.D happened to be on the West Coast, so she didn't have to run to Hutton Mar again, and then rushed all the way to Sky City.
If Mai Lu's Mi Gao hadn't carried them for a while, her beautiful long legs would have been broken from all the running.
The most hateful thing was that they had painstakingly sought help and returned, only to see this pervert chatting and laughing with the Third Princess, so carefree and at ease???
(╯‵□′)╯︵┴─┴
“Do you want me to massage your legs? I'm very good at it, if you don't believe me, ask Siate… Ouch, ouch…”
Siate released her grip on his arm and glared at him angrily.
The group quickly ascended the suspended ladder. The Old man thoughtfully stepped on the third suspended ladder. In his fluctuating perception, the weight of this ladder was somewhat different from the others.
“Damn, is this still that stainless steel? Is his wave ability that strong? He can detect this from below?”
Beneath that suspended ladder were the Destroyers set to ambush Barn. Because Isabella was present, they weren't detonated, and there was no time to dismantle them.
The Old man just stood there and knew something was wrong!
Upon entering the Dark Profound Corridor, the sight that greeted them was a scene of utter destruction. Statues, lamp posts, and corals were shattered, and sharp sword qi had cut gashes throughout this floor, leaving everything in disarray.
“Good, but in this sword intent, there seems to be something very special mixed in.”
G.S.D nodded. Of the Four Sword Saints, Barn, the youngest and most talented, also received a simple comment from him: good.
Completely different from Aganzuo's vastness and Xi Lan's unrestrained wandering, his perception detected that there seemed to be a subtle evilness about Barn…
Isabella kicked a dark-skinned Goblin wearing sunglasses. She hadn't expected these annoying creatures to exist even in Sky City.
“Barn!”
Proceeding cautiously, Isabella's keen eyes suddenly spotted Barn taking a potion in a hidden coral pile, but his current appearance shocked her greatly.
His black cloak was almost completely shredded, and there were bleeding wounds all over his waist, chest, and arms. His short sword, which he cherished, had several nicks, and its properties were almost destroyed.
“What happened? How did you get so injured?”
“Heaven's Destroyer.”
A hint of pain flashed in Barn's eyes. He had fought a Heaven's Destroyer that suddenly appeared. Although he had torn the opponent to pieces, he himself had suffered serious injuries.
When his gaze fell on G.S.D, he couldn't help but shrink his neck and hastily shift his gaze.
Rumors about a certain blind Old man in Hutton Mar's Backstreet cleaving a hundred-zhang crack with a single sword strike were spread from the Iron Wolf Knights.
Originally, it was just that the opponent's casual sword strike made him unable to parry, but later, through exaggeration, it became a hundred-zhang strike.
However, he indeed couldn't withstand G.S.D's attack. This mysterious Old man was terrifyingly strong.
“You may leave; we will continue.”
Just as Shalan and the Old man left Barn and headed straight for the City Lord's Palace, Ye Lin was engaged in an inner struggle, hesitating.
Although he was very pleased that Barn had been beaten up by the Heaven's Destroyer, it was a pity that it hadn't killed him.
Should he now pull out a grenade and finish off the seemingly heavily injured Barn? To save himself trouble in the future.
But the Third Princess Isabella was still there. Should he also bomb Isabella? That would be a bit troublesome.
After much deliberation, just as Ye Lin was about to quietly set up a few Chasers to test them, someone made a move before him.
A blinding light sword descended from the sky, accompanied by a roaring sound filled with extreme disgust, “Intruder, die!”
Barn's expression instantly changed drastically. He ungracefully rolled over, barely dodging the light sword, and looked with shock and fear at the strange life form, Seghete, who had penetrated the floors of Sky City and directly condensed his body from light elements to descend.
Ye Lin's expression also turned cold. He touched the cross in his pocket; the amulet, which had been half-shattered by the Eye of Sin, was now completely broken.
