Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1687

Chapter 1687: Chapter 856: Reunion_2

At this moment, next to him, stood a young woman around eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in a light green attire with a short sword at her waist. She appeared charming but had a slightly arrogant air in her expression. She seemed to notice him and, with a hint of displeasure, whispered.

"Hey! Are you that new ’Yun Qing’ Array Master? Why are you so late? Almost missed the hour, aren’t you afraid of the City Lord’s wrath?"

The incarnation looked up, mimicking the slightly aloof yet cautious tone of the man in the portrait, responding neither humbly nor overbearingly.

"I was engrossed in studying the Secret Realm Fragment Map and momentarily lost track of time. The City Lord is eager for talent and will surely understand that I did it to better complete the exploration mission. Moreover, in unraveling the Secret Realm restrictions, it’s not to brag, but there’s probably no one in the team who can surpass me."

The young woman snorted at his words, but her tone softened slightly, with a hint of reminder.

"Hmph, I hope you do have some skills.

This exploration of the Secret Realm is of great importance to the City Lord, as it concerns whether he can firmly establish himself in the city. My master specifically instructed me to assist the City Lord well; if anything goes wrong and my master blames me, I can’t bear that responsibility."

The incarnation’s heart stirred; from the woman’s words, he caught several pieces of information.

This woman has a master, and her master seems to have a close relationship with the City Lord, seemingly supporting the new City Lord.

He manipulated the incarnation to follow the conversation.

"Miss, rest assured. On this journey, not only do we have the City Lord’s elite under his command, but we are also accompanied by Elder Yue Xia of the Purple Mist Divine Sect and other experts from the sect. The lineup is formidable. We only need to focus on what we excel at, and if we truly encounter danger, those strong individuals will bear the brunt."

He paused for a moment, a smile that he believed to be gentle, but was actually somewhat stiff, appeared on the incarnation’s face as he added.

"Besides, with me here, I will do my utmost to ensure the young lady’s safety." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The young woman was momentarily stunned by the last sentence, then her pretty face blushed slightly, and she couldn’t help but chuckle, rolling her eyes at the incarnation and muttering.

"Who needs your protection! Take care of yourself first!"

After speaking, she turned her head, but there was the faintest hint of a smile at the corners of her mouth.

In a room at the inn, Gu Sheng, who was perceiving this scene through the incarnation, thought to himself.

"There seems to be some personal relationship between this woman and the ’Yun Qing’ incarnation? An unexpected gain, as the previous intelligence did not mention this. Perhaps... it can be utilized."

...

Meanwhile, far away in the East Desolation, Great Wilderness City.

Outside the heavily guarded and Array-filled secret residence of Xiao Beixuan.

In the hazy night, two phantom-like figures, with incredible movement technique, silently leaped over the walls several feet high, landing lightly in the courtyard. Astonishingly, the alerts and Defensive Arrays placed around the residence showed no reaction, as if these two were transparent.

One of the figures had a slender form, and even in nightwear, her graceful curves were discernible.

Her sharp gaze swept across the courtyard, instantly locking onto a thick stone pillar not far away, where a middle-aged man, Gu Lie, with black iron chains piercing his collarbones, lay weak and dispirited!

"The intelligence was correct, the target is there."

She whispered to her companion, her voice crisp and calm.

Inside a brightly lit room deep within the residence, Xiao Beixuan had just listened to a subordinate’s report, learning that despite continuous days of brutal interrogation, they had yet to extract any effective information about Gu Sheng’s Cultivation Technique weaknesses or whereabouts from Gu Lie.

He waved a hand, his tone showing a hint of impatience.

"Since we can’t squeeze any useful information, keep him as bait for now; don’t let him die. Gu Sheng seems to care about this ’father’ of his."

"Yes, master."

The subordinate bowed and retreated.
