Chapter 549: Chapter 563 Li Shan

Seeing the expression on the General’s face, Mu Can knew he had made a mistake. Approaching this city without knowing if they were friend or foe was not a wise choice.

Just like now, Mu Can had encountered a huge crisis. No matter what, whatever the General intended to do to him was definitely not good.

“Why does the General want to imprison me?” Mu Can looked up and asked. He had already taken out an Array Plate in his hand, which Wang Cai had prepared for him. It could randomly teleport him out a kilometer away.

Mu Can hadn’t used it because he dared not.

He had personally experienced Wang Cai’s unreliability. He was now terrified that activating the Array Plate would teleport him underground.

“Don’t be nervous. We’re just verifying your identity. We are also afraid of outsiders bringing the source of infection into the city,” the General said with a sincere face, but in his eyes, Mu Can saw a hint of murderous intent.

This General wants to kill me. Why does he want to kill me? Mu Can was filled with curiosity. After all, he bore no grudges against them.

“Really? Then I won’t enter the city, just open the city gates and let me out,” Mu Can said, staring into the General’s eyes. The biggest threat to him here was this General and the giant crossbows on top of the city walls.

“It’s too late to not enter the city, seize him!” The General let out a smug chuckle and suddenly gave the command with a wave of his hand.

He didn’t even bother to disguise his intentions, instantly tearing off his facade.

The soldiers beside the General also rushed forward, attacking Mu Can. Even the engineering giant crossbows on the city walls were aimed directly at him.

“Damn it, sooner or later I’ll come back to kill you,” Mu Can cursed, crushing the Array Plate in his hand, and vanished on the spot.

“General?” A group of soldiers looked at each other in disbelief, all seeing the shock in each others’ eyes. In this heavily guarded place, a man had just vanished right under their noses. They had no idea what had happened.

“An Array?” The General, at least, knew of some techniques used by outsiders and recognized that Mu Can had activated what was called an Array.

“Search the entire city, screen for outsiders thoroughly,” the General said with a grim face. This outsider was a matter of life and death for the entire world; he had to be captured.

…

“Damn, this time it was somewhat reliable,” Mu Can muttered to himself, not appearing in mid-air nor returning to the same spot, but instead, he landed on something soft. Mu Can couldn’t help but sniff; it was a bed, and there was a faint scent.

“Wang! This is a woman’s boudoir, right?” Wang Cai appeared beside Mu Can, carrying a Qilin Species on his back, and clutching a Toad in his mouth.

“Shut up, someone is coming,” Mu Can swiftly hid under the bed.

A woman slowly walked in as if sensing something, her gaze sweeping around the room.

“Come out!” the woman said coldly. Mu Can had no idea how the woman had seen through his disguise.

“I will, but you must not yell,” Mu Can had no choice but to come out since he was discovered. He needed to figure out where exactly he had been teleported to.

“Hmph, if you don’t come out now, I’ll scream for help,” a clang of a sword being drawn rang out, and Mu Can could feel the blade pointed at him.

Unfortunately for her, the next moment, the woman who was holding the sword was grabbed by the throat by Mu Can.

“Don’t even think about screaming,” Mu Can’s Spiritual Power swept across the woman’s body in an instant, but he didn’t sense any trace of Spiritual Power in her.

Any Cultivator Mu Can had encountered had traces of Spiritual Power, but he felt no such thing from this woman.

This proved that the woman was not a Cultivator, and judging from the General and his men’s behavior, this seemed to be a world where Spiritual Power couldn’t be used.

“Ugh!” The woman hadn’t expected Mu Can to be so fast that she was subdued before she could react.

“If you agree, blink your eyes,” Mu Can whispered in her ear.

As expected, the woman blinked obediently, and Mu Can gently let go of her neck.

“Are you a Cultivator?” Instead of yelling, the woman asked Mu Can an unexpected question.

“None of you are Cultivators?” Instead of answering, Mu Can asked the woman another question.

After a long clarification, Mu Can understood that this world was a sealed one. Besides the Undead Creatures, there were only those practicing Body Cultivation.

Yes, including the General, none of them could sense Spiritual Power; they could only cultivate their physical bodies.

“So you’ve been fighting these Undead Creatures with just your bodies?” Mu Can asked.

“Are you really a Cultivator?” The girl’s eyes brimmed with stars, looking at Mu Can as if he were a deity.

“What exactly are you trying to say?” Mu Can looked helpless. The girl was so cooperative, he had no choice but to be gentle with her.

“If you are a Cultivator, can you help me with something?” The girl asked shyly, a rare expression for her.

“What do you want?” Wang Cai popped his head out from under the bed and asked the girl.

“A talking dog, how cute,” the girl’s eyes lit up with stars again as she ran towards Wang Cai.

The girl’s name was Li Shan, the daughter of the City Lord of this city. The reason she was looking for a Cultivator was simple.

Her mother had contracted a strange illness, and she was told that only a Cultivator could cure it.

But in this world, there was no existence of Cultivators, only in a few scattered legends were there signs of Cultivators.

And without exception, these Cultivators all disappeared without a trace in the end.

Upon Mu Can’s questioning, Li Shan told him all the information about this world.

It was a world dominated by Undead Beings; humans could only huddle within cities, relying on tall city walls and sharp city defense tools to protect their safety.

However, there was a magical technique in this world; by absorbing the Soul Fire in the brains of Undead Creatures, one could strengthen their own body.

“No wonder, the General’s strength seemed to be on par with mine, but his methods were so limited.”

Mu Can nodded. If it had been another Heaven Rank, it probably wouldn’t have been so easy for him to escape.

“You’ve seen the General?” The girl’s eyes widened. The General was the most powerful Cultivator in the city.

Relying on his strength, he no longer took the City Lord Mansion into consideration at all.
