CHAPTER 340: CHAPTER 302 STAB_2

Gao Xuan saw a group of people going in and out of the Treasure Vault, still counting the specific losses.

Gao Xuan watched for a while from the side and noticed that the person in charge was the Silver Sword Hero, so he went over to chat.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the other party was very surprised and wary, loudly questioning who he was.

Gao Xuan casually explained and stepped back a few steps. The person in charge shook his head and let it go.

When Gao Xuan returned to the Purple Lily Hotel, he also took a turn around the Purple Lily room.

Purple Lily asked him a question, to which he said he had entered the wrong room and then immediately left. Surprisingly, Purple Lily didn’t mind.

It’s known that Purple Lily is in her underground secret room, and even high-level members of the organization cannot enter at will.

After several attempts, Gao Xuan confirmed the effect of the Mysterious Windbreaker. As long as he didn’t speak or cause trouble, he wouldn’t attract attention.

Others could see him, but they instinctively assumed he was a companion.

Gao Xuan felt that with the Mysterious Windbreaker, at least he could give it a try.

He took out the script and wrote down the name of the Celestial Snake King.

If this guy comes to the Hundred Ghosts City within ten days, he’d make a big move.

Soon, a line of text appeared on the script: The Celestial Snake King is on his way to the Hundred Ghosts City...

He’s really coming? Gao Xuan was a bit surprised.

Generally speaking, Golden Powerhouses rarely enter low-level Source Power environments. After all, there is a certain risk.

With some time to spare, Gao Xuan checked all his Marvels.

The Celestial Spirit Sword Box that swallowed the Thunder God Sword, hmm, has completed digestion. The Celestial Spirit Sword Box leveled up twice.

The Celestial Spirit Sword Qi reached 5.12 million degrees.

Gao Xuan was not very satisfied with this upgrade. The Thunder God Sword is an exceptionally powerful Golden Sword. It can be said to be of the same level as the Celestial Spirit Sword Box.

However, the Celestial Spirit Sword Box only leveled up twice after digesting the Thunder God Sword. It’s too disappointing.

5.12 million degrees of Celestial Spirit Sword Qi sounds impressive, but in reality, it’s just at the Golden Middle Tier level.

Fortunately, the Celestial Spirit Sword Qi developed a special attribute: Fierce.

At the same level, the Celestial Spirit Sword Qi became more fierce and sharp, unstoppable.

The Celestial Spirit Sword Box does not mark its own features. Gao Xuan made this judgment based on his insight into the Celestial Spirit Sword Box with the Six-winged Celestial Cicada.

The previous Celestial Spirit Sword Qi was also robust and formidable but lacked this kind of domineering fierceness and sharpness.

A small trial by Gao Xuan confirmed that the Celestial Spirit Sword Qi indeed underwent a qualitative change.

He didn’t know if it was the result of devouring the Thunder God Sword or a natural evolution of the Celestial Spirit Sword Box reaching the Tenth Layer.

Either way, it was a good thing.

The same Celestial Spirit Sword Qi had greatly increased power with the Fierce attribute added.

As usual, Gao Xuan entered the Celestial Spirit Sword Box again and bullied the old men inside. This time, he felt a bit pressured.

At this rate of progress by the Sword Spirit inside the Celestial Spirit Sword Box, he feared he wouldn’t last to the Twenty Layers.

But that’s a matter for much later. No need to think about it now.

Gao Xuan handled the Marvels he carried with him, taking out those that were useful for backup.

Those that weren’t were given to Bai Yutang to hold on to.

Unfortunately, Bai Yutang’s personal Spiritual Power progressed too slowly. Even with the Holy Light Wings in hand, he was hard-pressed to assist in practical combat.

Fortunately, there was the Great Resurrection Technique. If he accidentally got killed, there was a chance for a turnaround.

Of course, in actual combat, this is also very difficult. After all, the opponent will not leave immediately after killing.

Given the formidable power of his enemies, if he really got hit, he’d probably be blasted into pieces. Resurrecting would be tough in such a state.

Gao Xuan never relied on the Holy Light Wings. It’s really unreliable.

On the third day, the script showed: The Celestial Snake King arrived at the Hundred Ghosts City and, accompanied by his entourage, went to the City Lord’s Mansion.

At the City Lord’s Mansion, the Celestial Snake King had a secret talk with the City Lord, xxxx...

Seeing the xxxx, Gao Xuan was displeased. The script is indeed unreliable, even censoring content like this. Is there something prohibited?

Gao Xuan watched the script for a whole day, seeing reports that the Celestial Snake King attended a banquet, that he entered the Ghost King Hall to rest...

The script showed only such messages. It wouldn’t reveal any details. Nor would it show any secrets.

Fortunately, the script could still show the Celestial Snake King’s location and basic state.

Holding the script, Gao Xuan could also sense the Celestial Snake King’s location. This was quite convenient.

On the second day, after meeting with the leaders of various organizations, the Celestial Snake King also met with the Purple Lily.

Although the Purple Lily was considered a local power in the Hundred Ghosts City, she was trembling with fear before the Celestial Snake King.

The Celestial Snake King, however, appeared very gentle, inviting the Purple Lily to sit down.

"I called you here to ask about that person’s situation."

The Celestial Snake King’s voice was sharp like a woman’s, yet with a few hoarse notes.

The Purple Lily even felt the words’ icy and sticky crawl, as if a cold, venomous snake was slithering over her.

This feeling was both eerie and terrifying.

The Purple Lily suppressed her unease and said softly, "Your Majesty, it’s really hard to discern that person’s origins..."

She tried her best to explain the situation, but she knew too little about Huang Mao and couldn’t say much.

After she finished speaking, the Celestial Snake King responded with an indifferent "Oh."

The Purple Lily sneaked a glance at the Celestial Snake King, who was dressed in a black robe, casually reclining in a golden chair. His face was as handsome as a youth’s, and the red Celestial Snake mark at his brow was strikingly impressive.

The Celestial Snake King noticed the Purple Lily’s gaze. He smiled slightly, beckoning her with his finger, "I’ve long heard of Purple Lily’s reputation. It’s indeed extraordinary upon meeting you today. Come, let me take a good look..."

The Purple Lily showed a smile on her face, but in her heart, she felt bitter. Having reached her position, she was no longer accustomed to using her looks to please others.

Yet in front of the Celestial Snake King, all she could do was obediently comply. Any resistance would be courting death. Even showing a trace of bitterness would be her end.

This Celestial Snake King was also notorious for his lechery. Before coming, she had mentally prepared herself.

Even so, facing such a situation was still distressing.

The Celestial Snake King liked women, but was extremely cold and ruthless at his core. Women who stayed with him never had a good end. Otherwise, sleeping with such a prominent figure would be quite a privilege.

The Purple Lily’s thoughts swirled, but she maintained a charming smile and walked gracefully toward the Celestial Snake King.

The Celestial Snake King smiled too. He clearly could see the Purple Lily’s unwillingness, but he enjoyed that reluctance.

If the other party was enthusiastic and eager, he would lose interest instead.

The Purple Lily wore a traditional purple qipao, the deep purple contrasting her snow-white skin, especially the mature charm between her brows and eyes, seductive yet with a hint of restraint. Truly top grade...

The Celestial Snake King’s gaze shifted and suddenly noticed the attendant next to Purple Lily followed along as well.

He was somewhat displeased. That guy in the black windbreaker had no sense!

The Celestial Snake King, conscious of his own status, didn’t want to waste words with such a person. Naturally, his followers would weed out those who lacked tact.

Yet to his surprise, none of his followers spoke up.

The Celestial Snake King sensed something amiss, but couldn’t pinpoint what it was. As he hesitated, a bloody red stream of light flashed before his eyes, deeply imprinting itself in his mind.

In his heart, the Celestial Snake King felt a strong and extreme warning telling him that mortal danger was imminent.

At that instant, time and space seemed to freeze. Only the blood-red stream of light shimmered and flowed.
