Cloud Province, Cyan Cloud City.

Cyan Cloud City is a massive city built on a lake, from the sky it looks like a giant blue lotus blooming on the water.

Around the lotus are large circular lotus leaves, forming a continuous expanse with the lotus.

Above the lotus and lotus leaves wafts thin strands of white mist, and faintly from above comes the sound of chanting.

The vast yet exquisite and magnificent city is filled with a sacred aura, bearing an air of the Immortal Realm.

"Cyan Cloud City was transformed over two hundred years by Guo Zhengjun, becoming what it is today. Guo Zhengjun wanted to create a human paradise; although somewhat crude, it has a certain form…"

Xiao Ting curiously looked at the huge city below, while introducing the situation of Cyan Cloud City to Gao Xuan.

Before the Spirit Sword Association dominated Cloud Province, its relations with the major Noble Families were still good. Cyan Cloud City was also the most famous tourist city on Purple Dragon Star.

But as the Spirit Sword Association gained power, the Noble Families no longer allowed private visits to Cyan Cloud City.

Although Xiao Ting had heard of the fame of Cyan Cloud City, she had never been there. She was also somewhat curious about it.

As for women, they are always irresistibly drawn to beautiful things.

"The blue lotus is divided into thirty-six petals, divided into three layers by height. Sect Leader Guo Zhengjun resides in the center of the golden lotus pod. It's said that the lotus pod extends dozens of kilometers into the water, and deep underground lies a vast underground palace..."

The more Xiao Ting spoke, the more worried her expression became. Finding a specific target in such a vast and complex city was harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

Because Guo Zhengjun is alive, he can hide behind the scenes and adjust his position at any time.

She looked at Gao Xuan and said, "It's still not too late to turn back now."

Gao Xuan took out sunglasses and put them on, solemnly saying, "If I don't come back, take good care of our child."

Xiao Ting couldn't help pinching Gao Xuan, "Can't you be serious for once?" The full series is hosted on *, known as *.

"I'm just going along with you."

Gao Xuan chuckled mischievously.

Xiao Ting was speechless; she really couldn't understand Gao Xuan's mindset. Was he really unafraid of death, or did he have absolute confidence?

Even if Purple Dragon Star didn't restrict Source Power, a top-tier Silver Sword Hero would find it extremely difficult to kill Guo Zhengjun alone.

A Silver Sword Hero, no matter how strong their Source Power, still needs to breathe and rest. In an environment teeming with enemies, it's difficult to find an opportunity to adjust.

Only a Golden Sword Saint could ignore the disparity in numbers and sweep in all directions.

However, even on a place like Purple Dragon Star, a Golden Sword Saint would be restricted by Source Power.

Still, Gao Xuan's Quick Sword is unparalleled, and his body technique is as elusive as a ghost. As long as he retreats according to the predetermined route, there's a considerable chance he'll escape.

Indeed, Xiao Ting didn't expect Gao Xuan to actually kill Guo Zhengjun. Sending Gao Xuan to Cyan Cloud Residence already fulfilled their promise.

As for Gao Xuan's escape, that would be Guo Zhengjun's incompetence. But judging by Gao Xuan's demeanor, she feared he wouldn't follow the plan obediently.

Xiao Ting felt somewhat helpless about this but had said all she could. She only hoped Gao Xuan wouldn't bring about his own demise.

Gao Xuan suddenly said, "Sister Ting, Cloud Province is the largest producer of Red Steel Ore, accounting for 90% of the global output. The Spirit Sword Association has made countless money selling Red Steel Ore and specialty metals."

"Hmm?" Xiao Ting was puzzled by why Gao Xuan was saying this.

Gao Xuan asked, "If Guo Zhengjun dies and the upper echelons of the Spirit Sword Association collapse, do you think the Red Steel Ore trade will be affected?"

"If that really happens, then of course."

Xiao Ting was smart, and she immediately guessed Gao Xuan's intention: "You want to trade Red Steel futures?"

Red Steel is a specialty metal ore with great industrial demand. If a major incident occurs in Cloud Province, surely the production of Red Steel will sharply decrease. This would last for at least several months.

Gao Xuan snapped his fingers: "Smart. I have two billion in funds. You can use it to trade futures for me. Be conservative, and just leverage it ten times."

"You really have a big heart." Xiao Ting sighed.

"If I die, the money would be useless," Gao Xuan said dismissively.

Xiao Ting could only sigh again, "You make too much sense."

"Why sigh? Sister Ting, this is a great opportunity to make a fortune. You should invest some money too, and you'll easily make ten times the profit. That will cover our child's milk powder money."

Gao Xuan wrapped an arm around Xiao Ting's shoulder: "War has never been the goal, but a means of fighting for profit. Trust me, this time it's foolproof."

Xiao Ting thought for a moment and nodded: "Alright, I'll help you."

The Flying Fish Battleship, guided by radio signals, steadily landed on a high platform.

Xiao Ting led Gao Xuan off the battleship, where a group of people had long awaited them on the platform.

Everyone wore cyan robes, with golden swords embroidered on their chests. These were the Advanced Priests of the Spirit Sword Association.

Leading the group was a priest with silver hair, long eyebrows, sharp eyes, tall stature, and a cyan sheathed longsword in hand. His presence was overwhelming.

The Spirit Sword Association uses swords as their Magical Artifacts, and the priests all carried swords. Even when performing rituals, they held swords.

"Meng Lv, the chief priest of the Spirit Sword Association. They have thirty-six cyan-robed priests and thousands of blue-robed priests. There are tens of millions of the lowest level, white-robed priests..."

Taking advantage of the time before Meng Lv arrived, Xiao Ting quickly introduced him to Gao Xuan.

In fact, this information had long been given to Gao Xuan, but Xiao Ting feared he might forget it.

"How does the chief priest compare to Guo Gang?" Gao Xuan asked offhandedly.

"Guo Gang is the external vice president, also known as the Vice Sect Leader, but his power is far less than Meng Lv's."

Xiao Ting said: "Cyan-robed priests have all been granted Evil God Power, each with unique abilities. Be extremely careful."

"There's no need to worry in Cyan Cloud City."

Meng Lv stopped twenty meters away and spoke in a deep voice.
