Chapter 1290 1289: Nighttime Visitors

Leng Ying couldn't help but be curious: "What's happening in Ten Thousand Swords City?"

Qiu Qiming knew Leng Ying and Lin Fei were brothers, so he didn't hide anything and said: "Ten Thousand Swords City and the Gongsun family of Liufeng City have long been at odds, fighting over the Holy Mine Mountain on the border between the two cities, known as Dragon Tiger Mountain. The conflict has caused bloodshed on both sides.

However, both sides are equally matched, unable to defeat one another, so they're stuck in a stalemate, neither daring to occupy Dragon Tiger Mountain.

But recently, our Ten Thousand Swords City experts stationed at the border discovered that Liufeng City had gathered a large number of cultivators, seemingly intending to seize Dragon Tiger Mountain."

Leng Ying asked: "City Lord Qiu, is the Holy Mine on Dragon Tiger Mountain very important to Ten Thousand Swords City?"

Qiu Qiming nodded: "The Holy Ore is important material for weapon forging, and some top-grade Holy Ore stones contain astonishing energy and can be used directly for cultivation.

Moreover, Dragon Tiger Mountain's Holy Mine Mountain is the only one within the borders of Ten Thousand Swords City and Liufeng City, serving as a strategic resource for both sides. That's why we've been vying for the mine."

"City Lord Qiu, since this Holy Mine Mountain is so important, with the Gongsun family having gathered so many experts, Ten Thousand Swords City can't just stand by and watch it fall into the hands of the Gongsun family, can it?" Leng Ying said with some concern.

Qiu Qiming's expression turned serious, saying: "Sect Leader Jin has already led thousands of cultivation experts to the border to prevent Dragon Tiger Mountain from falling into the Gongsun family's hands.

However, as far as I know, the Gongsun Patriarch, Gongsun Zhong, possesses the strength of the Ninth Layer of the Saint Sect, and I'm afraid Sect Leader Jin is no match for him.

I originally wanted to discuss this matter with Lin Fei, hoping he could give me some advice, but I didn't expect Lin Fei would come to Ten Thousand Swords City."

Leng Ying realized what Qiu Qiming meant earlier, whether Lin Fei already knew about the Gongsun family's attempt to seize Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Looking at the sunset outside the palace, Leng Ying said to Qiu Qiming: "We believe Lin Fei will arrive at Ten Thousand Swords City after nightfall."

As the sun set and night fell, the City Lord's Mansion of Wan Jiafeng illuminated brightly.

Swish.

A gust of wind blew, stirring up flying dust.

The cultivation experts patrolling the City Lord's Mansion suddenly saw five ghostly figures emerge on the front courtyard plaza.

This shocked the patrolling experts, giving them a creepy feeling.

When did these five individuals appear?

Why did no one notice their presence?

The leading cultivation expert immediately reprimanded the five figures: "Who are you?"

"Holy Dragon Realm Fourth Elder Wei Bao." A dignified elder's voice arose.

Upon hearing this, the lead cultivation expert's expression changed, then he said: "Do you have any token to prove you are the Fourth Elder of the Holy Dragon Realm?"

The Holy Dragon Realm is the core domain where the highest rulers of the Holy Dragon Continent reside.

The top ten elders of the Holy Dragon Realm hold the highest positions beneath the Celestial Saint, the supreme ruler.

The appearance of such a high-status Holy Dragon Realm elder in Ten Thousand Swords City naturally raises suspicions about authenticity.

Swish.

Fourth Elder Wei Bao raised his hand, and a light flew out.

Crackle.

The light was a silver token, material unknown, exuding a surge of incredible energy, causing the space to tremble.

The silver token, palm-sized, was engraved with a leopard head, lifelike and fierce, its eyes glaring, mouth open wide revealing fangs.

The silver token flipped in the air, displaying one side with the leopard head and the other carved with the words "Holy Dragon Realm Fourth Elder."

As the token rotated, flashes of electrical light shadowed within its vicinity.

"Holy Dragon Elder Order!" exclaimed the lead cultivation expert upon seeing the token.

Though he had never seen the Holy Dragon Elder Order with his own eyes, the Holy Dragon Continent was rife with legends about it.

So the lead expert discerned that the silver token was indeed the legendary Holy Dragon Elder Order.

Swish.

Fourth Elder Wei Bao flipped his palm, causing the token to be quickly stored in the storage ring.

"Now, are there any more questions?" Wei Bao's eyes darkened as he looked at the lead cultivation expert and asked.

"I deserve to die for not recognizing Mount Tai, unaware of the arrival of the Fourth Elder of the Holy Dragon Realm, offending the Elder, I ask for his punishment." The lead expert suddenly knelt to the ground.

"Stand up! Where is your City Lord? Take me to him." Wei Bao commanded.

"Fourth Elder, the City Lord and some newly arrived friends are dining in the rear palace." The lead expert reported truthfully.

Wei Bao said: "Lead me there."

"Yes, Fourth Elder." The lead expert immediately complied.

In the brightly lit palace in the back courtyard.

Qiu Qiming was entertaining Leng Ying, Li Ruyan, Qian Songyixue, and others, drinking and chatting, in high spirits.

At that moment, a nervously looking cultivator entered from outside, coming to Qiu Qiming's side while he was drinking, whispered: "City Lord, the Fourth Elder of the Holy Dragon Realm is outside the hall, wanting to meet you."

This cultivator was the leading expert who led the way for Wei Bao.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Qiming frowned, set down his wine cup, and spoke to the expert: "Fan Zhu, are you sure you didn't get it wrong, it's the Fourth Elder from the Holy Dragon Realm?"

The cultivation expert affirmed: "City Lord, I saw it clearly, the visitor indeed holds the Holy Dragon Elder Order."

Qiu Qiming expressed doubt: "But why would the Fourth Elder of the Holy Dragon Realm come to Ten Thousand Swords City?"

He had heard that the top ten elders of the Holy Dragon Realm specifically guard the realm, rarely leaving unless the matter is significant.

The cultivation expert also looked puzzled, shook his head, and said: "Subordinates also don't know why the Fourth Elder would appear in Ten Thousand Swords City."

"Let's go see." Qiu Qiming stood up from his seat, apologized to Leng Ying and others: "Leng Ying, I need to handle something, please wait for me a moment."

"Wait, City Lord Qiu, I heard you say the Fourth Elder of the Holy Dragon Realm is here, seems important, I'll join you to check it out." Leng Ying said, getting up from his seat.

Qiu Qiming agreed, nodding to Leng Ying: "Alright, let's go together to check."

As Leng Ying and Qiu Qiming headed out, Li Ruyan, Qian Songyixue, Zhang Ruoxi, and others naturally followed.

In the outer courtyard stood Wei Bao and four Saint Guards.

After Qiu Qiming came out, he cupped his fist in salute to Wei Bao: "City Lord Qiu Qiming of Ten Thousand Swords City greets Fourth Elder of the Holy Dragon Realm."

Leng Ying, Li Ruyan, and others remained behind, observing Wei Bao silently without saluting.

Wei Bao noticed Qiu Qiming only saluted with a fist, not kneeling, obviously unhappy.

"Isn't the City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords City Wan Guohai? When did it become Qiu Qiming?" Wei Bao's sharp eyes fixed on Qiu Qiming as he asked gravely.

Qiu Qiming replied: "Fourth Elder, I recently became the new City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords City, and have sent people to the Holy Dragon Realm to request Celestial Saint's appointment for the new City Lord."
