Chapter 745: The Divine Sword Can Fall on the Stars

Chapter 740 – Divine Sword Can Fall to the Stars

After roughly figuring out what happened, Xu Bai didn’t rush to make a statement. Instead, he first notified the people from the Tianliang Prefecture Garrison Yard to temporarily blockade Mount Immeasurable, bringing back and imprisoning Fu Xingchi and the three of them first. Then he pressed on, just patiently waiting for Tian Liang City Lord Nangong Shirong to return.

Since he had specifically had an explanation before his departure, then this subordinate of his own should also abide by it.

Not to mention ……

Over the years, the matter of the Infinite Wall engulfing the cultivators and causing many people to disappear was strictly related to Li Fan, his superior.

After all, before becoming the Lord of Tian Liang City, Nangong Shirong was holding the position of Commanding Envoy of Tian Liang Prefecture Garrison House. Such a big thing happened in the territory, but he has not been aware of it ……

If he was attacked, no matter what, a crime of dereliction of duty was always inevitable. Nangong Shirong became the city lord not long ago, the foundation is not stable. At that time, he stepped on Xiang Rongxin to get to the top, and also offended a lot of people. If you are not careful, reveal the cracks, and lead to a group attack. I’m afraid that before the position of the city lord is even warmed up, it will be driven down.

Xu Bai as its beloved, naturally want to share for the lord of the city is.

After secretly backing up the information on the disappearances over the years, Xu Bai then went to the Buzheng Hall to entertain Guan Xingxiu, who had come to ask for help again.

Different from his lazy appearance in Lanlin State in his last life, the Guan Xingxiu of this moment was like a sword unsheathed, emitting his own sharpness without any concealment.

“See Senior Guan ……,” Xu Bai bowed his hand and saluted.

“Does Changge’s whereabouts have a clue now?” Guan Xingxiu’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Xu Bai’s appearance. The originally aggressive words couldn’t help but become a few points more soothing.

“Clues have already been found. I believe I’ll be able to give senior an answer soon.” Xu Bai said in an unassuming manner.

“To work so inefficiently, if you were in Tianyu Prefecture, you would have been dismissed and investigated long ago.” Guan Xingxiu said with a cold snort.

Xu Bai bowed his head and didn’t reply.

“I’ll give you seven more days. If by then, there still isn’t a definite result ……”

A golden flying sword flew out openly and hung above the Buzheng Hall.

“Then don’t blame me for being unsympathetic!” Guan Xingxiu’s tone was morose as his figure gradually disappeared.

Only the small golden-colored sword was left behind, blossoming with awe-inspiring killing intent.

“Falling Star Divine Sword ……”

The murderous thoughts that were like substance almost pierced Xu Bai’s skin to the point of raw pain, and he had to stay away for the time being. He looked up at the golden flying sword above his head, and before his eyes, he seemed to see the scene of a sword taking off into the air and the stars falling.

This sword was not unfamiliar to him.

In his last life, when he was partnered with Huangfu Song and went to Lanlin Prefecture to popularize the construction of the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Formation, it was this [Falling Star Divine Sword] of Guan Xingxiu’s that was invited to suppress the disobedient native cultivators of Lanlin Prefecture. At that time, although Guan Xingxiu had already fallen to the Harmonized God realm, he relied on this golden flying sword to travel unimpeded all the way. Even Harmonization cultivators had to avoid it.

Enough to illustrate the extraordinary nature of the [Falling Star Divine Sword].

At the moment, Xu Bai looked at the golden flying sword and did not get annoyed. Instead, he carefully observed it.

“This sword is not below the elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect. It’s no wonder Guan Changge’s heart is filled with admiration.”

Feeling the incomparably sharp, sworn-to-split-everything aura emanating from it, Xu Bai’s mind was immersed.

After an unknown amount of time, Nangong Shirong’s somewhat angry, yet somewhat scornful voice woke Xu Bai up. “Old thing, deceiving people too much. If it wasn’t for the fact that we can’t beat him ……”

Xu Bai pretended not to hear the latter half of the sentence, arching his hand and saying, “You’re back, my lord.”

“No wonder old Guan he’s so hot and bothered, Guan Changge just had an accident on the front foot, he came to raise hell on the back foot. It turns out that this brat, Guan Changge, is the son of his old lover.” Nangong Shirong waved his hand, signaling that Xu Bai did not need to be polite. He then sat down on his butt and said somewhat gloatingly.

“So, Guan Changge is Guan Xingxiu’s illegitimate son?” Xu Bai was somewhat dazed.

But Nangong Shirong’s next words caught him a little off guard, “No. There is no actual blood relationship between the two of them. It’s just a clichéd, love-is-not-required bloodshed story. Old Guan seems to be a murderer without blinking an eye, but behind his back, he is a love-struck seed. Even though his old lover has already married a woman, he still never forgets her. He even cares and takes care of her son.”

“If it wasn’t for this visit to Lord Extreme Cheng, I really wouldn’t have known about this mess.” Nangong Shirong said with a wry smile.

Xu Bai just listened quietly, not revealing any unusual expression on his face. The mutual appropriation between Harmonized Immortal Exalts was not something that a YuanYing shrimp like him could get involved in.

“Immortal Exalt Extreme Cheng, Chief Commander of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s Garrison Courtyard. In his last life, during the great battle with the Five Elders Association, he suffered a curse and died early after his lifespan was exhausted. In this life, however, he is still alive and well, and is in charge of the garrison courtyard. From the tone of Nangong Shirong’s voice, he seems to have a great relationship with Extreme Cheng.” Xu Bai secretly said in his heart.

“When that old thing Guan Xingxiu launches into a rage, ordinary people really can’t stop it. Even if it’s Lord Polar Cheng’s face, he might not give it. It’s better to get rid of him quickly. How is your investigation into Guan Changge’s disappearance going?” After muttering for a while, Nangong Shirong asked.

Xu Bai then reported in detail what he had discovered, the disappearance of cultivators that had occurred in Tian Liang Prefecture over the years.

“Limitless Wall?” Seemingly remembering something, a hint of surprise flashed in Nangong Shirong’s eyes.

“This matter, besides you, who else knows about it?” He quickly asked again.

“Little man did not make a sound and has been waiting for your lordship to return.” Xu Bai replied decisively as well.

Nangong Shirong was very satisfied, “Very well. Let’s pretend that the previous disappearance never happened. It’s just an isolated case! It mustn’t give rise to unwarranted associations from others!”

“Next, you go with me to the Limitless Wall and see if you can rescue that Guan Changge kid.” Nangong Shirong commanded.

“My humble servant obeys!”

Without gathering too many men, merely bringing Xu Bai and three other YuanYing heartland cultivators, Nangong Shirong arrived at the bottom of the Immeasurable Mountain.

At the moment, no images appeared on the smooth mountain.

It wasn’t very close, but rather watched from afar.

“This Limitless Wall, I once came here when I was still a YuanYing cultivator. There were some encounters back then as well.”

As if plunged into old memories, Nangong Shirong’s eyes were in a trance, and only after a long time did he slowly say.

The other three YuanYing cultivators all refrained from answering, except for Xu Bai, whose tone was slightly surprised as he asked, “Can’t it be that you, my lord, have also seen strange sights on this Immeasurable Wall?”

Nangong Shirong laughed, “It’s not that I’ve seen it, but I’ve also been trapped in this Limitless Wall.”

“But I quickly broke through the wall at that time, so I just thought it was an illusion created during enlightenment. Over the years, I’ve also never heard of anyone who had the same encounter as me, so this slowly faded into oblivion.”
