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

179: Chapter 179 The Storm Is Coming”With these two locations of yours, I’ll have an easier time explaining things to the Elders later.”

”Then you all, at that time...”

”Don’t worry, Senior Brother. As the successors of the Fearless Sword Saint, we will definitely protect you to the very end.”

Mo Hongyu said, patting her chest.

Chen Xian watched as her chest trembled.

He felt refreshed and relaxed.

Even after walking out of the Warm Pavilion, he still seemed dazed.

”Hey, hey, hey, can you tell me your plan now?”

Moon Demon asked curiously.

”What plan?”

”Don’t give me that. First, you revealed your identity as the successor of the Fearless Sword Saint in public, and now, you’re pretending to be mindless while cooperating with the Mo Family. What on earth are you trying to do?”

Chen Xian said mysteriously, ”I told you, you’ll know soon enough.”

Evening.

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion of Shanhai City.

Chen Xian looked at the simple spread of food and wine.

He was a bit stunned.

Especially since there were several vegetarian dishes on the table.

Are you serious, man? Do you usually eat so plainly?

I came here for a feast today.

It seemed that Feng Haishan had seen through Chen Xian’s thoughts.

Feng Haishan patted Chen Xian’s shoulder with a smile.

”Young friend, I’m getting old, so I naturally can’t eat such heavy, meaty dishes anymore. If you like them, I’ll pack some for you later.”

”Alright! The City Lord invited me to dinner tonight, but I’m afraid it’s not just for the meal, is it?”

Chen Xian’s words caught Feng Haishan off guard.

Because in his eyes, Chen Xian was just the kind of Prodigy who liked to show off.

This was something he was quite used to.

So, upon hearing Chen Xian’s question, he immediately brought up his own topic.

”Young friend, you’re right. There truly is something I need your help with!”

”What is it?”

Chen Xian asked, feigning ignorance.

”I’ve discovered a Grotto-Heaven left behind by the Fearless Sword Saint in a Secret Realm. Inside, there’s an item that is a Family heirloom of my Feng Family. For some reason, it ended up there years ago. Unfortunately, we cannot enter the barrier.”

”As the Sword Saint’s successor, you just need to go in and retrieve that item for me!”

Chen Xian said with feigned contemplation, ”Reasonably speaking, it’s my duty to help the City Lord retrieve the treasure. However, the items inside the Grotto-Heaven...”

”Except for the one I want, I won’t take a single thing!”

Chen Xian sneered inwardly.

Damn, the good stuff in the old man’s Grotto-Heaven has probably already been scavenged clean by you lot.

And now you’re acting all righteous in front of me. You really are a born actor.

However, Chen Xian didn’t expose him and instead continued, ”In that case, thank you, City Lord. But I have one more thing!”

Feng Haishan said with a forced smile, ”Please, speak!”

”City Lord, you should also know that Sword Cultivators are different from other Cultivators; the expenses are enormous!”

”Although I’ve carried out my Revered Master’s will all these years, if you want the horse to run, you have to feed it!”

”So, Spirit Stones...”

”Does the City Lord have any here?”

Feng Haishan was completely dumbfounded.

He had been a Mahayana Stage Expert for several hundred years already.

He had seen countless talented juniors.

Quite a few had boldly made requests of him as well.

But no one had ever dared to ask for Spirit Stones directly.

For a split second, he was dazed.

Is this brat really the Sword Saint’s successor?

But thinking about the task he needed Chen Xian’s help with next...

Feng Haishan could only say with a smile, ”That’s simple. How many do you need, young friend?”

”Three or five million isn’t too little, and fifty or sixty million isn’t too much!”

At this moment, even the servant attending to them gasped upon hearing this.

Seriously, man, did you come here to commit extortion?

The expression on Feng Haishan’s face also flickered between light and dark.

But in the end, he laughed heartily and said, ”Since you bear the heavy responsibility of retrieving my Family’s heirloom, young friend!”

”Then what does this small amount of money matter!”

”Someone, give him the Spirit Stones!”

He finally understood.

This kid Chen Xian looked simple on the surface, but he actually had his own little schemes.

If he didn’t satisfy the kid, he might not actually go.

Before obtaining that Sword Saint’s Personal Sword...

He would not allow any mistakes to happen.

Therefore, even if the kid demanded an exorbitant price...

Feng Haishan could only swallow his resentment.

But on second thought, this money was only being temporarily stored with him.

As soon as the sword was in hand...

The kid would have no more use.

At that time, wouldn’t everything on him end up back with me?

”Young friend, after the meal, would you be interested in coming with me?”

Chen Xian waved his hand.

While stuffing the mountain-like pile of storage rings into his pockets.

Under City Lord Feng’s unfriendly gaze, he said with a grin, ”City Lord Feng, since I’ve already agreed, why the rush? How about we leave tonight at the zi hour?”

”Hmm?”

”I just want to meditate on some Sword Qi, so I’ll have more confidence when I go to my Revered Master’s Grotto-Heaven!”

Chen Xian looked around.

”I wonder if your City Lord’s Mansion has a room where I can rest?”

As soon as these words were spoken...

Feng Haishan’s originally somewhat gloomy face instantly brightened.

He had thought the kid was going to run.

Resting here was naturally no problem.

Feng Haishan nodded.

”Someone, escort this young friend to the guest room to rest!”

”Yes!”

After Chen Xian left, a dark shadow appeared beside Feng Haishan.

A man dressed in armor stood respectfully by his side.

He asked in a low voice, ”City Lord, are we really going to take this kid there?”

”Why not just seize his Legacy? That way, why would we need to bring him along?”

”Stupid! Do you think I haven’t thought of that?”

”A barrier has unfolded around that sword, and we simply can’t break through it. Besides, when the sword is obtained, who knows what might happen? Especially since there’s surely a Sword Spirit within that sword.”

Feng Haishan said with a cold gaze, ”It’s better to let this kid scout the way for us. Once the danger is gone, we can take his place.”

”Until then, what’s your hurry!”

The Armored Man lowered his head and said, ”It was my recklessness.”

”Now, protect him well. There must not be any mistakes, do you understand?”

”Yes!”

Meanwhile.

Inside Duobao Pavilion, over a hundred experts had gathered.

The lowest cultivation among them was at the Nascent Soul Stage.

Every single one of them had a solemn expression.

At the head of the group, Mo Hongyu’s gaze fell upon the study’s door.

Until the door to the study opened.

An old man in hemp clothing slowly appeared before everyone.

Mo Hongyu hurried forward.

She said respectfully, ”Elder Wu, everything depends on you!”

Elder Wu’s expression was indifferent.

”Has the time been set?”

”Yes, tonight at the zi hour. Feng Haishan will take him to that Secret Realm to retrieve the sword. We can besiege Feng Haishan... an attack from both inside and out!”

Elder Wu nodded coldly.

”Mhm.”

”You all decide the rest. This old man will destroy Feng Haishan!”
