Chapter 953: Chapter 950: The Saint Heir and State Preceptor who Kill Pigs

"Let’s go, let’s find Jingtong’s grandfather first." Ye Xuan, lingering on the Mysterious Battle Saber Emperor’s matter, led everyone to continue strolling around the city.

Because of the matter with the Mysterious Battle Saber Emperor, everyone found that strolling through the streets was no longer as carefree as before.

Any peddler or butcher on the street became a respectable presence in their eyes.

So when they encountered someone speaking harshly toward them, they responded with a smile.

Ye Xuan didn’t bother to uncover the little schemes of these folks, he simply chuckled.

Although the people in Empty Ancient City had deep backgrounds, the truly powerful characters often hid themselves well.

Even though he had come and gone here many times, he hadn’t been able to uncover some of the old masters.

The likes of the Mysterious Battle Saber Emperor were nothing significant in his view.

————

Meanwhile, in Xuantian Ancient Country, the State Preceptor Jiutian True Person and the Xuantian Saint Heir began their search.

However, in this city, gathering information seemed to require money.

Not Spirit Stones, but a type of Golden Essence Copper Coin.

This caused them quite a headache.

After much inquiry, they finally traded ten pieces of Golden Essence Copper Coins using one suit of Black Armor from the Black Armor Army at a tailor shop, then spent nine pieces there to learn about the elder with ties to the Xuantian Ancient Country.

The group hurried on swiftly.

"Selling pork, selling pork!"

They heard a loud shout.

It was the butcher they had encountered earlier, the Mysterious Battle Saber Emperor.

Perhaps because Ye Xuan had forgiven him, the butcher was in very good spirits.

Seeing the Xuantian Saint Heir and others arrive, the butcher called out loudly, "Gentlemen, come see my pork, it’s the best in Empty Ancient City!"

The Xuantian Saint Heir’s face turned a bit strange—is this fellow truly the elder with ties to the Xuantian Ancient Country?

It doesn’t seem like it at all.

"Saint Heir, don’t judge a book by its cover," Jiutian True Person whispered.

Hearing this, the Xuantian Saint Heir suppressed his discomfort, bowed, and said to the butcher, "Junior pays respects to the elder."

"What junior, elder? Are you buying meat?" The butcher raised his eyebrows, snapping coldly, "If not, get lost and don’t disturb my business."

The Xuantian Saint Heir broke into a cold sweat, not daring to delay, quickly stated his identity, "Elder, I am this generation’s Saint Heir of Xuantian Ancient Country, and this is Jiutian True Person, my generation’s State Preceptor."

"Greetings, elder," Jiutian True Person also respectfully saluted.

"Oh? Xuantian Ancient Country?" The butcher showed a mischievous smile, "Go ahead, what do you want?"

Seeing the butcher respond, the Xuantian Saint Heir became overjoyed—he really found the right person!

The Xuantian Saint Heir warmly said, "To be honest, our purpose in entering Dao Chu Ancient Land this time is to find the elder. Could the elder accompany us out?"

"Out?" The butcher scoffed, "If I could leave, would I stay here selling pork?"

Although the Xuantian Saint Heir expected this, he still felt quite disappointed, but soon he said, "It doesn’t matter, meeting you is already a blessing..."

The butcher impatiently waved and said, "Stop spouting useless crap. Since you call me elder, fine, quickly help me slaughter pigs."

With that, the butcher dragged the Xuantian Saint Heir and Jiutian True Person to the pigsty behind the meat shop, pointed at the herd of pigs inside, and said, "Not saying much, each of you kill one, then chop each piece properly. Any other matters will be dealt with once this is done."

The Xuantian Saint Heir and Jiutian True Person were stunned.

Seriously, slaughter pigs?

Given their status, how could they do such things?

They felt extremely averse internally.

Yet, facing the butcher’s gaze, they had no choice.

"Don’t think of using mana, it’s impractical in Empty Ancient City. It might attract the city soldiers, and then you’ll end up jailed, good luck with that," the butcher chuckled.

"This..." The Xuantian Saint Heir and Jiutian True Person felt bewildered.

"Hurry up, don’t dawdle," the butcher urged.

Finally, the two helplessly entered the pigsty to catch pigs.

A group from the Black Armor Army behind saw this, almost bursting from holding back laughter.

The butcher crossed his arms and said with squinted eyes, "If you want to laugh, just laugh, don’t be afraid, I’ve got your back."

Despite the butcher’s words, none dared to laugh.

The dignified Saint Heir and State Preceptor, actually grabbing pigs?

These pigs were quite formidable too, a backward kick directly splattered pig manure onto them.

This time, the Black Armor Army couldn’t hold back, laughing fit to burst.

Without mana, the Xuantian Saint Heir and Jiutian True Person seemed powerless like mortals.

They, however, knew that the pigs in this sty were not ordinary farm pigs from the mortal world; their physique and strength were entirely formidable against them, resulting in this situation.

Yet to showcase their abilities, the Xuantian Saint Heir and Jiutian True Person exhausted themselves without using mana, eventually taking down two pigs. Per the butcher’s instructions, they began the slaughter, and once everything was set, they felt a sense of fulfillment.

"Good, now let’s sell pork together, we’ll talk while selling," the butcher said.

"Still need to sell together?" The Xuantian Saint Heir almost fainted.

Despite this, the butcher’s following words inspired the Xuantian Saint Heir and Jiutian True Person to muster all their energy and start shouting enthusiastically.

The butcher, witnessing this, smiled broadly.

Until a white-haired old man in a black robe charged aggressively from the distant street, everything changed.

The black-robed elder’s aura surged, each step covering dozens of meters, vehemently arriving at the butcher’s stall, his face filled with murderous intent directed at the butcher, then turning to the Xuantian Saint Heir and Jiutian True Person, nearly vomiting blood.

The Xuantian Saint Heir and Jiutian True Person sensed something was wrong, assuming the old man was the butcher’s enemy, cautiously said, "Old sir, are you here to buy meat?"

"Buy your mother’s!" The black-robed elder exploded in anger, his aura bursting forth like a Demon God incarnate, terrifying beyond measure.

The Xuantian Saint Heir and Jiutian True Person turned pale from fright but seeing the calm butcher beside them eased their worries, they forcefully said:

"Old sir, even if you don’t buy meat, you shouldn’t curse at people."

"Aaaaaaah———"

The black-robed elder was nearly infuriated to madness upon hearing this, trembling while pointing at the butcher, cursing angrily, "You damned Mysterious Battle Saber Emperor, how dare you toy with people from Xuantian Ancient Country, infuriating me! Today, I will fight with you to the end!"

Hearing this, the butcher chuckled merrily, "Hey hey hey, old Gu Shang, it’s your people from Xuantian Ancient Country who wanted to come help me, calling me elder this and elder that. I’m really helpless. Seeing these young folks are so enthusiastic, I’m forced to do so. But honestly, they slaughter pigs quite well, lots of potential!"

Speaking thus, the butcher gave a thumbs up to the Xuantian Saint Heir and Jiutian True Person.

"What?!" The Xuantian Saint Heir and Jiutian True Person’s expressions entirely changed at this moment. Looking at the butcher, they were furious, "You’re not our elder from Xuantian Ancient Country?!"

"You’re the Mysterious Battle Saber Emperor?!"

At this moment, the two felt as if struck by lightning.

All this while, they helped someone who wasn’t an elder from Xuantian Ancient Country but its enemy!

Given their affiliation, they were well-versed in Xuantian Ancient Country’s history.

The Mysterious Battle Saber Emperor was the greatest enemy of their ancestor, the Xuantian Ancient Emperor, back then.

However, now they were aiding the Mysterious Battle Saber Emperor to sell pork?!

And the true elder was the black-robed man before them?!

"You maskless butcher, today I will butcher you!"

The black-robed elder named Gu Shang was thoroughly enraged, ready to strike the butcher.

Boom!

Yet just then, an aura that could suppress the heavens suddenly descended.

The sky seemingly darkened.

A ten-meter-tall black giant appeared out of nowhere before the pork stall, speaking coldly, "Within Empty Ancient City, no fighting allowed."

The butcher obsequiously said, "City Soldier sir, I didn’t do anything. It’s Gu Shang, this old fellow, trying to upset my stall. Please, seek justice for me."

That ten-meter-tall black giant was precisely the City Soldier of Empty Ancient City!
