Chapter 2569: Chapter 2589: God Burning Sword? Please Line Up and Wait!

Black Tower City, City Lord’s Mansion.

"There’s quite a lot here; looking at the style, many of these items seem to be from Donghuang Beihai. It seems Black Tower City has really done some damage to others."

In the treasure vault, Lin Chen, Shang Wenyao, and Yue Chengtian browsed through the vast array of treasures until their eyes dazzled.

Shang Wenyao said with a smile, "In the end, it turns out to be a windfall for us."

Lin Chen spoke with a clear conscience, "These people have either been harmed to death by them or have already been sold off by them. Now we can be considered to have avenged them, so these items can be seen as our reward. I believe they themselves would be very willing."

Shang Wenyao asked, "What about Black Tower City? How will it be handled?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Although Black Tower City is rife with looting, there are still those who are not corrupt. Killing off all those leading ruffians and then handing over the city to someone relatively upright will do. After all, the ordinary residents here need their protection; it’s not right to kill everyone off indiscriminately."

Shang Wenyao nodded slightly, expressing her considerable approval of Lin Chen’s proposal.

Lin Chen turned to Yue Chengtian and said, "Take a look and see if there’s anything you like or need. Help yourself."

Yue Chengtian was overjoyed and thanked him, "Thank you, Big Brother!"

Glancing at Shang Wenyao beside him, he sweetly added, "Thank you, Sister-in-law!"

Shang Wenyao pursed her lips and smiled without saying a word, while Lin Chen kicked Yue Chengtian lightly with his foot, "If you’re going to take something, just take it. Waste any words."

Yue Chengtian chuckled and started picking and choosing in the treasure vault.

After being saved, Yue Chengtian helped set up an array formation to seal Ge Chaojiang, proving his strength.

He witnessed Lin Chen and Shang Wenyao cutting down everyone as they made their way through, then quietly entered Black Tower City, had the Enchanting Heart Daoist summon the disciples robbing outside using the city lord’s order, and then struck ruthlessly, killing everyone.

Yue Chengtian was awestruck by both of their strengths and methods, considering them almost god-like, and became their little fanboy.

Observant, Yue Chengtian tentatively inquired about the relationship between the two and judged from their reactions that they had mutual fondness yet were not officially together. So, he promptly arranged the title "Sister-in-law" for himself.

Shang Wenyao neither agreed nor objected, nor did she explain, and Lin Chen naturally did not feel it was his place to say more.

If Shang Wenyao wasn’t in a hurry to explain, why should you be?

Are you eager to make things clear?

Yue Chengtian’s gathered items were mostly materials related to array formations; he didn’t take a single piece of natural treasures, showing considerable tact.

"All right, let’s pack up; we’ll split it half and half..."

Shang Wenyao chuckled, "Just keep it."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "When it comes to contribution, yours is greater than mine. I would be at an advantage even with half, so how can you not want it?"

Shang Wenyao chuckled again, "These things aren’t of much use to me. You keep them. If I really need something, I’ll just ask you for it."

"Alright then!"

Lin Chen did not hold back. After all, Shang Wenyao had come with him, and since they were together, it was alright for him to keep everything.

If Shang Wenyao needed to leave separately in the future, he would prepare a gift pack for her then.

Lin Chen was never a petty or selfish person; on the contrary, he was always very generous and magnanimous with his own people.

After taking care of Black Tower City’s affairs and leaving the city in the hands of a bewildered middle-aged man, ensuring he could keep Black Tower City under control, Lin Chen and the two others left Black Tower City.

Through inquiries made in Black Tower City, Lin Chen roughly learned the locations of both City of Nether Fire and Snow Wind City.

City of Nether Fire was roughly situated in the central part of Western Hell, while Snow Wind City was in the far west.

To go to Snow Wind City, one had to pass through the entirety of Western Hell.

"Big brother, I’ll go with you first to the City of Nether Fire. If it’s not on the way afterwards, I’ll head to Snow Wind City by myself..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Okay, even if we stay in the City of Nether Fire and do not continue westward, we will find a reliable merchant team or another group to take you to Snow Wind City."

Yue Chengtian expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Brother!"

The three traveled westward, encountering numerous robberies and deceptions along the way. Fortunately, with their alertness and formidable strength, they managed to turn dangers into safety again and again.

Western Hell’s hostility towards cultivators from other regions was thoroughly embodied.

As soon as the three of them appeared in the crowd, they were like fireflies in the dark night, instantly drawing the attention of everyone.

Suspicion, guard, hostility...

To reduce trouble, the three had to change their outfits, donning grey cloaks on the outside, hats on their heads, and magical artifacts that masked their faces.

Although concealing their faces seemed somewhat odd, it was, at least, no longer the focus of everyone’s attention as before.

Stopping at various cities along the way, after four months, the three finally arrived at the City of Nether Fire.

The City of Nether Fire was expansive, with majestic city walls, a large population, and bright illumination as if it were daytime, making it very bustling.

The City of Nether Fire was built against a mountain, with the City Lord’s Mansion located at the very end of the city, at the entrance to the mountain range. The mansion was of enormous scale, capable of accommodating thousands of residents, but everyone knew that the City Lord did not live there.

Lord Gu Qinghai and the powerhouses of the city, for the sake of convenient cultivation, all resided within the mountain range enveloped by Array Formations, and that grand and imposing City Lord’s Mansion served as the entrance to the mountain range.

The gates of the City Lord’s Mansion stood open, and although there were guards at the entrance, nobody stopped them.

As Lin Chen and his companions entered, a middle-aged man came forward to greet them with a gentle and warm smile, "What brings you three here?"

Lin Chen revealed his true face and saluted with his hands, "Disciple of Donghuang Longshan Sect, Lin Chen, requests an audience with Lord Gu."

The middle-aged man’s expression remained unchanged, "The City Lord is in Closed Door Cultivation. May I inquire what business the three of you have with the City Lord?"

Lin Chen replied candidly, "I have heard that Lord Gu possesses a sword called the God Burning Sword, which has the miraculous ability to sever the Life Brand..."

The middle-aged man’s expression remained the same, and he smiled, "Indeed, that is true. So, am I to understand that the three of you wish to borrow the sword?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, I am willing to offer the appropriate reward or price."

The middle-aged man chuckled and stepped aside, "Please follow me."

Lin Chen felt unexpectedly surprised, just like that?

Not even a single additional question?

Following the middle-aged man through the bustling hall in front, then through many corridors, they entered a spacious hall.

The hall was spacious with many tables and chairs, which were laid out with fruits, tea, and water.

There were quite a number of people in the hall, some sitting alone at tables and others in groups of three or five, creating a lively atmosphere.

Feeling puzzled, Lin Chen asked, "What is this place?"

The middle-aged man smiled and explained, "The City Lord’s Mansion is responsible for dealing with all kinds of affairs in the City of Nether Fire. Different types of affairs are arranged in different locations, where people queue up and wait for processing."

"This room is specifically for handling affairs related to the God Burning Sword, so please queue here and wait for your turn. Staff will receive you shortly, and in the meantime, feel free to rest and help yourselves to the fruits and tea."

Lin Chen’s eyes widened as he swept his gaze across the dozens of people in the hall, "Are you saying that all these people are here to use the God Burning Sword?"

The middle-aged man replied with a smile, "Not necessarily all for borrowing it, but... more or less that’s the case!"
