Daily Intelligence: Start by Obtaining the Sword Saint's Legacy

172: Chapter 172 The Sword Qi of Shanhai City!Chen Xian looked down at Zhou Duoer and said gently, ”She’s not exactly an Heir; at most, I just want to see how great her potential truly is!”

”Just to see her potential, you gave her the ten thousand year fire lotus and even found the ruins of the Divine Phoenix Lineage for her?”

”When did you become so kind-hearted, kid?”

Despite Chen Xian’s harmless appearance, the Moon Demon knew exactly how ruthless and cruel this kid could be.

So far, everyone who had caused him trouble—with the exception of the Quasi-Saint Li Zhen—had, without exception, either died or suffered Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

Giving such abundant resources to a little girl without regard for the cost, the Moon Demon couldn’t believe Chen Xian only wanted to see Zhou Duoer’s potential. If it failed, it would all be for nothing.

Of course, he naturally didn’t know that Chen Xian had long known Zhou Duoer’s future through the System.

For Chen Xian, investing in a future Empress was a guaranteed profitable venture.

Compared to the Empress’s value, the current investment was merely a modest start to pave the way for a much greater return.

They walked into Shanhai City.

At this time, Shanhai City was overcrowded, but most of them were people with swords hanging from their waists or strapped to their backs.

Zhou Duoer looked around and tugged at the corner of Chen Xian’s clothes.

”Young Lord, there are so many Sword Cultivators!”

Chen Xian also frowned.

The intelligence said Shanhai City had the Fearless Sword Saint’s Sword Qi; surely all these people weren’t here to comprehend it?

What’s going on?

Chen Xian randomly stopped a Sword Cultivator.

”Fellow Daoist, I’d like to ask you something.”

”Why are so many Sword Cultivators gathered here today?”

The Sword Cultivator was stunned for a moment, but seeing that Chen Xian also wore a sword at his waist, his expression softened slightly.

”You’re an outsider, aren’t you?”

Chen Xian nodded awkwardly.

”The City Lord of Shanhai City announced three days ago that he obtained the Fearless Sword Saint’s Sword Qi in a Secret Realm. He’s willing to share it with all the Sword Cultivators in the world, but only for today. You’re lucky, kid; we rushed here as fast as we could!”

”Anyway, I won’t talk to you anymore. The City Lord announced a gathering at Shanhai City’s central square, so you’d better hurry over too!”

After saying that.

The Sword Cultivator rushed toward the city center.

Zhou Duoer looked at Chen Xian.

”Young Lord, are we going?”

Chen Xian sneered.

”Of course we’re going! It’s only right for me to go and take the Sword Qi left by that old geezer!”

However, he already had a plan in mind.

The Shanhai City Lord’s strength was definitely not low.

He couldn’t take it by force; he had to use wit!

Meanwhile.

At the entrance of the Shanhai Secret Realm, the teleportation array collapsed, the barrier caved in, and the Sects and noble families outside scrambled to avoid it.

”Damn it, what on earth happened in there?”

”Weren’t there five Mahayana Stage experts maintaining this barrier? Why did it collapse?”

”And where is Great Master Ci Du? Could it be because the battle between Great Master Ci Du and that Great Demon was too fierce?”

”Stop dawdling, fall back quickly!”

The moment the Shanhai Secret Realm barrier collapsed, a powerful Protective Aura erupted from within!

In an instant, the Cultivators near the Secret Realm were blown away!

Yu Weihu and the other four Mahayana Stage Cultivators raised their hands and opened a barrier to cover everyone’s retreat.

When the storm subsided.

The entrance to the Shanhai Secret Realm had already been leveled.

”Everyone, follow me inside to take a look!”

Yu Weihu’s suggestion was quickly agreed upon by everyone.

Although it was extremely dangerous inside.

But the Prodigies from their respective continents were still inside!

They had to be found!

Otherwise, it would be a massive loss.

Everyone rushed straight inside.

”The Shanhai Secret Realm is extremely dangerous with complex terrain, we...”

Yu Weihu’s words stopped abruptly before he could finish.

He stared at the flat ground before him, completely stunned.

”How is this possible?”

Why had the original mountains and rivers all turned into plains?

Furthermore, why were there over a thousand people lying on the ground?

Just then, one of the Sect Elders saw the people on the ground and rushed over urgently.

”This is our Sect’s Prodigy!”

”This is our Family’s Heir!”

Everyone helped the Prodigies up one by one. Though they were dizzy, they had all regained consciousness.

”What happened?”

An Elder asked in a cold voice.

”Elder, I don’t know either. I just remember Great Master Ci Du appearing before us, and then our consciousness became blurred.”

One Prodigy said while rubbing his head in pain.

”Great Master Ci Du? Could it be that something unexpected happened while Great Master Ci Du was fighting the Great Demon, and they were caught in the crossfire?”

”I think so too!”

No one suspected Ci Du’s purpose for being there.

Li Zhen was currently wearing a black robe, and in such a chaotic scene, no one noticed him.

His gaze quickly swept across these people one by one.

”Damn it, that ant actually managed to escape!”

Should he reveal his identity now, tell everyone the truth, and then issue a grand warrant for Ci Du and Chen Xian?

As soon as this thought surfaced, Li Zhen rejected it.

”No!”

If he did that, Ci Du would surely reveal the secret of Chen Xian’s Immaculate Sacred Body.

In that case, he would be needlessly adding several Quasi-Saints of the same level as his competitors.

That would simply be asking for trouble!

But if he didn’t say it, Li Zhen felt a sense of grievance.

After looking around twice and failing to find Chen Xian’s figure.

Li Zhen’s anger had already begun to burn.

”That coward must have gone to Jubei City; I’ll intercept him on the way!”

With that thought, Li Zhen’s figure vanished from the spot.

On the central square of Shanhai City.

Tens of thousands of Sword Cultivators gathered together.

Every one of them was incredibly excited.

”I’ve never seen a Sword Saint’s Sword Qi before!”

”If we can comprehend even a sliver of Sword Intent from it, it would be an unexpected boon for our Sword Dao.”

As Sword Cultivators, the thought of seeing the Sword Qi of a top-tier powerhouse with their own eyes...

...made them abandon their usual steady demeanor.

They all waited with bated breath.

Chen Xian and Zhou Duoer were naturally among them.

Until fifteen minutes later.

A middle-aged man wearing a green robe appeared before everyone.

”Everyone, I am Feng Haishan, the City Lord of Shanhai City!”

”I have gathered all you Sword Cultivators today because some time ago, I was saved by the Fearless Sword Saint’s Sword Qi in a Secret Realm. To repay the Sword Saint’s life-saving grace, I brought the Sword Qi back to Shanhai City. Whoever comprehends the most Sword Intent from it will be gifted the Sword Qi!”

”At the same time, this person will become a distinguished guest of my Shanhai City!”

Hiss!

Feng Haishan’s words caused everyone to gasp!

They originally thought they could at most sense some Sword Intent from the Sword Qi.

But they never imagined there would be such a generous reward.

This made the group of Sword Cultivators extremely excited!
