Chapter 931: Chapter 930: East City, Kill

Devin King and Miles O’Brien were also pushed into a corner, with no other options. If they didn’t speak like this, not only would the boy die, Devin King would also die, and Miles O’Brien would be shackled at her arm joints and taken back to the Glowing Moon Star.

So, the only chance now was to tempt that insatiably greedy official with a Middle-grade Immortal Artifact. As long as they let the boy go to retrieve the Treasure Sword, he would certainly find Yusuf Zuck. And as long as they found Yusuf Zuck, he would definitely have a way to save them.

"You two trust him this much? What if he takes the Middle-grade Immortal Artifact and doesn’t come back? Won’t both of your heads be in jeopardy then?" Inspector Liu scratched his chin and said.

"Then we’d be considered blind and ignorant!" Miles O’Brien declared vehemently.

"Right, then you can take our heads!" Devin King also nodded in agreement.

"Fine," Inspector Liu slapped his thigh vigorously, "Your heads are worth nothing to me. However, if you truly give me a Middle-grade Immortal Sword, you will not only be faultless but also credited. You belong to the Correct Unity Sect, right? When the time comes, I, the inspector, can give unlimited resources from the Holy Sect to your Correct Unity Sect!"

"Let him go, let him fetch the Middle-grade Immortal Artifact. The time limit is four hours. If he doesn’t return in four hours, I’ll assume you’ve absconded with the artifact, and then I will take their heads!" Inspector Liu exclaimed loudly.

"No, no, wait for me, wait for me." The boy’s mouth was stained with blood, his entire body in extreme pain, especially after the rough throw from Item Wild that had seriously injured him. Limping and staggering, he ran out like crazy. Despite the pain, his speed did not decrease in the slightest.

"Tie them up first, hmph." Sect Master Conor Hopkins snorted angrily and cursed silently in his heart. How could this little Correct Unity Sect have a Middle-grade Immortal Sword? But why hadn’t they said so earlier? If they had spoken sooner, the Middle-grade Immortal Sword would have been his—now, Inspector Liu was the lucky one!

He believed that the Correct Unity Sect harbored ulterior motives. The reason they had come with him and insisted on participating in this so-called Hero Assembly was to curry favor with influential figures.

And now, they’d indeed managed to win favor, facilitated by his own introduction, making it even harder for him to look on.

Several masters from the Heaven and Earth Mystical Door quickly shackled Devin King and Miles O’Brien with chains, and placed knives at their throats. Any sudden movement from either of them would result in their heads falling to the ground.

"Conor Hopkins, tell me about this Correct Unity Sect." Inspector Liu glanced over Devin King and Miles O’Brien, lingering especially on Miles O’Brien’s face, then asked casually without revealing anything. He wanted to inquire about the background of the Correct Unity Sect.

"A small faction established for thousands of years," Conor Hopkins sneered, "They’ve always been on our Glowing Moon Star. Their numbers never exceeded three hundred; Devin King is their Sect Master. Very poor, very small, they don’t even count as a fifth-rate power on our Glowing Moon Star."

"Of course, their swordsmanship is commendable—called the Sun Chasing Storm Swordsmanship. This swordsmanship is incredibly formidable, and as far as we know, Devin King acquired this sword technique during his travels in a secretive place. However, we never expected they had not just the sword technique but also a Middle-grade Immortal Sword!"

"Oh, I see." Inspector Liu’s eyebrows rose, "I suppose you’ve already acquired that sword technique, haven’t you?"

"Hehe, they offered it willingly. Their faction of three hundred plus members could no longer sustain itself, so soon they will merge with our Heaven and Earth Mystical Door!"

"Haha." After hearing Conor Hopkins’ words, Inspector Liu laughed heartily, "What’s the saying? They’ve sheltered their crimes by acknowledging them. They’re quite clever. However, remove their chains. Here, they can’t escape the palm of this inspector anyway."

"Um..." Conor Hopkins was startled and, upon looking at Inspector Liu, realized he was sizing up Miles O’Brien.

"Release, release them immediately." Conor Hopkins could see the intentions of Inspector Liu clearly.

Miles O’Brien, who was a beautiful woman and still possessed a Complete Body, had caught the inspector’s interest, and he was contemplating taking her as a dual-cultivation partner.

Devin King and Miles O’Brien were immediately released, and Conor Hopkins beckoned with his hand, saying, "Devin King, Miss O’Brien, come over and sit down."

"Thank you for the honor, but that won’t be necessary. Let’s just wait for Little Wu to come back," Devin King said somberly.

Miles O’Brien remained silent.

"Miss O’Brien, come and sit, tell this inspector about your Correct Unity Sect," Inspector Liu commanded with an imposing tone.

"To talk about the Correct Unity Sect? Then I’ll do the talking." Devin King could guess the inspector’s thoughts and, grinding his teeth with indignation, he strode over to Inspector Liu’s side and plunked down beside him.

"It’s good that you tell the story." Liu, the Envoy, after all, was a righteous official from a prestigious sect and could only carry out his vile deeds in secret. With so many people around, he did not dare to use force, so he nodded his head with a beaming smile.

"How about having Miss Zheng pour wine for us? Miss Zheng, you wouldn’t deny me this courtesy, would you?" Conor Hopkins’s face darkened, as the entire Sect was in his grasp. If he were truly angered, once he returned to Brightmoon Star, the Sect would face dire consequences.

Louise Garrett took a deep breath to calm her anger and strode forward, picking up the wine pot to pour wine for the dozen or so influential figures at the table.

...

At the same time, Wu Mao was running desperately through the streets of Spirit City. It was his first time in Spirit City, so he was not familiar with the geography. Although he had asked for directions to Skeward Tower, he had still taken several wrong turns.

The city was simply too large; he had never seen such a grand city in his entire life, which seemed almost as immense as a whole province in the secular world of yore.

Yet this was indeed a city where even a swift cultivator would take about two or three days to travel from East City to West Town.

Even a Twelfth Level Earth Immortal would need half an incense stick’s time to fly from the city’s interior to the outskirts. The city was too large, there was no helping it.

Finally, after two hours, he arrived on the main road.

This street was the main thoroughfare, and the signboard of Skeward Restaurant was the most eye-catching landmark. The restaurant’s predecessor was Yue Lai Tower, also one of the top establishments in the city, which is why Skeward Tower occupied nearly half the street.

"I’ve arrived, I’ve arrived..." Wu Mao continued to run with tears brimming in his eyes.

When he reached the entrance of Skeward Tower, he found the doors tightly shut, yet the inside was brightly lit and seemed bustling with activity; he could even hear the sound of dice games and wine toasting!

Without a moment to lose, he summoned all his strength and kicked down the freshly installed new door of Skeward Tower with one foot!

"Whoosh–" All the great demons dining in the main hall suddenly fell silent, then uniformly turned their heads to look at him.

The very next second, the great demons erupted in rage. After all, the door had just been installed today - how could it be smashed already?

"You’re courting death!" The great demons roared and leaped towards Wu Mao in unison.

"Buzz–" Just at that moment, all of a sudden, the entire space trembled, and all the great demons were frozen in place as if magically immobilized. Then, out of nowhere, Yusuf Zuck, who had been drinking with Faye Webb and the pillars in the back house, appeared in front of Wu Mao!

"Open your mouth!" He spoke while grabbing Wu Mao’s mouth, then forcibly administered a drop of the dew of merit, as Wu Mao was gravely injured. Without asking anything, he prioritized healing the wounds!

"Boss... boss... save us, Louise Garrett, King, save them, East City, East City Bungalow Area, they’re captured..." Wu Mao, enduring the painful process of the purple water droplet healing his body, informed Yusuf Zuck in a halting voice.

"Louise Garrett?" Yusuf Zuck felt a rush of blood to his head. Louise Garrett was alive and had come to Spirit City!

"To East City, kill!"

"Swoosh–" With one step, Yusuf Zuck disappeared in an instant!

"To East City, kill!" Seeing their master so enraged, all the great demons who had just been drinking also became furious!

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh–" One after another, the great demons leaped into the sky, transforming into streaks of light as they raced each other towards the East City Bungalow Area!
