Supreme Warrior in the City

At that time, the Second City Lord also tried to dig out things from the Blood Sea, but his power was directly corroded upon touching the Blood Sea.

That incident made the three Crystal Skulls behave themselves, not daring to touch the Blood Sea at all.

If even power gets corroded, there’s no need to mention what would happen if their bones touched it, right?

Now, feeling the surge of Sword Qi from the Female Sword Saint, they naturally became mentally active.

Maybe, they could take advantage of this opportunity to fish out what’s inside the Blood Sea.

”Sword Qi can indeed split the Blood Sea, but the problem is, how do we operate it?” the Great City Lord said.

”Why not try the gourd?” the Second City Lord took down the gourd from his head: ”Use the gourd to absorb some Sword Qi, and then use this Sword Qi to split the Blood Sea?”

”It’s worth a try!” the Great City Lord nodded.

The Second City Lord immediately took out the gourd and cheerfully ran into the Heavenly Sect. But as soon as he entered, he was directly struck out by a Sword Qi.

”Ouch!” the Second City Lord cried out in pain, as this strike was quite harsh.

”Alright, stop yelling. That person went easy on you, you were just struck painfully. If it weren’t for that mercy, this would probably have cost you an arm!” the Great City Lord said.

”Ah, this Female Sword Saint seems a bit displeased with us!” the Second City Lord helplessly said: ”Boss, you guys didn’t really peek at her bathing back in the day, did you?”

The Great City Lord’s face darkened: ”Do you think that’s something I would do? It must have been you and the Third City Lord who did it!”

”What does this have to do with me?” the Third City Lord immediately said: ”It must have been done by the Second Lord!”

”Fine, fine, just pin this kind of thing on me!” the Second City Lord lay on the ground: ”Anyway, I’ve never gotten credit for anything good, but I can’t escape blame for bad things. You two are saints! I can’t remember what happened back then, otherwise, you’d know exactly which one of us three did such a disgraceful thing!”

”Second Lord, don’t say that. If all three of us did it, wouldn’t that mean we all lack integrity?” the Third City Lord said.

”Uh...” the Second City Lord was instantly speechless.

”Alright, is now really the time to argue about this?” the Great City Lord waved his hand: ”Old Three, go and try to gather some Sword Qi, but don’t get too close and end up getting struck again!”

The Third City Lord took down the gourd and approached cautiously. Before even entering the Heavenly Sect, he began using the gourd to absorb.

This time, he really did manage to absorb some Sword Qi.

”Great!” the Second City Lord said excitedly: ”Let’s go, quickly to that spot, split open the Blood Sea!”

The three Crystal Skulls eagerly rushed with the gourd to the location of the Blood Sea.

”Ready?” the Third City Lord gripped the gourd tightly and suddenly spilled the sword energy from inside.

The Sword Qi struck directly on the Blood Sea, immediately splitting a trench three zhang wide.

At the bottom of the trench, many things were buried.

The Great City Lord and the Second City Lord took the opportunity to enter and retrieved all three wooden boxes.

”This is it!” the Second City Lord said excitedly: ”The things inside are definitely ours. Come on, quickly open them and have a look!”

The three Crystal Skulls rushed to the cliffside, excitedly wanting to open the wooden boxes. However, when they picked up the boxes, they discovered that these boxes were locked.

”Huh, why are they locked?” the Third City Lord scratched his head, trying to force them open. But the wooden boxes didn’t budge, and couldn’t be opened at all.

”The wood is really solid, even I can’t break it!” the Third City Lord said.

”Stop trying!” the Great City Lord waved his hand: ”Didn’t you notice? The material of this wood is the same as that of the Heaven-Reaching Giant Tree in the Feather Spirit Palace!”

”Huh?” the Second City Lord and the Third City Lord were both surprised: ”What do you mean?”

”What do I mean? Don’t you understand yet?” the Great City Lord said: ”The Heaven-Reaching Giant Tree has a gap, a part missing. What was that part used for?”

The Second City Lord and the Third City Lord looked at the wooden boxes in their hands simultaneously: ”Could it have been used to make these wooden boxes?”

”Is there still any doubt?” the Great City Lord shrugged: ”No wonder the vines whip us whenever they see us. We didn’t just steal the gourd, we also cut off a section of the tree!”

”Did we really do all this?” the Second City Lord said excitedly: ”That Heaven-Reaching Giant Tree isn’t simple at all, the fact that we managed to cut a piece off shows how powerful we were back then!”

”Isn’t that obvious?” the Third City Lord immediately said: ”I always thought I must have been an extraordinary figure in the past. All that talk about us being notorious thieves is nonsense. That dim-witted bear raised by the Female Sword Saint is definitely jealous of our fame, so it spreads slander about us. We three are surely great figures admired by all!”

”Exactly, couldn’t agree more!” the Second City Lord clapped enthusiastically: ”You’re absolutely right!”

The Great City Lord, too lazy to bother with them, turned the three wooden boxes over and over, then suddenly said helplessly: ”You two, who has the key?”

The Second City Lord and the Third City Lord immediately shut their mouths; where would they get a key from?

”Brother, don’t you have a key?” the Second City Lord asked.

”Isn’t that obvious?” the Great City Lord replied grumpily.

”This is troublesome, without the key, how do we open them?” the Second City Lord said: ”I feel like there must be something particularly crucial inside, locked up like this!”

”Key, where’s the key? Without the key, nothing you say matters!” the Third City Lord said: ”Brother, Second Brother, think carefully, where is the key?”

”I remember, at that time, the key was given to you for safekeeping, where did you put it?” the Second City Lord said.

”You... don’t make false accusations, what do you mean it was given to me? At that time, Brother said that you were reliable, so it was given to you for safekeeping!” the Third City Lord retorted indignantly.

”I’m reliable? Brother always thought you were the prudent one, it must have been given to you!”

”Nonsense, ask Brother who he thinks is the prudent one!”

The two Crystal Skulls immediately started arguing, while the Great City Lord was exasperated: ”Both of you, shut up. The keys must still be stored somewhere. We’ll have to wait for an opportunity. Once we regain our memories in the future, we’ll be able to find the keys. These three boxes must be hidden away so no one else discovers them, understand?”

”Understood!” they nodded together, eagerly hiding the three wooden boxes inside their gourds.

”Alright, we’ve got the things, let’s head back!” the Second City Lord said.

”Get lost!” the Great City Lord gave him a direct kick: ”Ye Wantong hasn’t emerged yet, and if you head back now, Su Yang might make a soup out of you?”

”What?” the Second City Lord looked dumbfounded: ”Then what do we do? Huaxia’s Voice grand finale is about to start...”
