Chapter 1437 - Exchange
Since Han Feizi said the city was haunted, he clearly had his reasons, and he would never speak so carelessly.
"Brother Liu, this city isn't simple. We have to be careful," Han Feizi said, but he left it at that. It was apparent he had discovered something, yet he still wasn't certain for the time being.
"It's not just simple," Liu Wuxie replied with a wry smile. He activated Ghost Eye, letting his gaze pierce through Nightmare City, and what he saw was far more detailed than Han Feizi could perceive.
"Can you two stop being mysterious? What's so strange about this city?" Qiao Bian demanded, glaring at them. No matter how he looked, the city seemed normal to him.
"The strange thing is that you won't feel anything strange about this city," Han Feizi replied. Now that they were fellow martial brothers, they had stayed in touch and maintained their bond.
The city was so quiet it felt unnatural. It didn't sway or shake in the slightest despite floating in the air. Even cultivators at the pinnacle of the Earth Immortal Realm couldn't sense anything off, so it was only natural that Qiao Bian, with his cultivation at the Primal Origin Realm, sensed nothing.
"For some reason, this city feels like a giant artifact to me," Qiao Bian suddenly said.
Liu Wuxie and Han Feizi halted at the same time and turned to stare at Qiao Bian.
"So, you've noticed it, too," Han Feizi responded, his eyes lighting up. He hadn't expected Qiao Bian to sense it as well.
"My master once told me that the Seven-Fiend was one of the fourteen stars in Emperor Star Astrology...
"The Emperor Star, Heavenly Mechanism, Sun, Martial Star, Heavenly Unity, Wicked Star, Heavenly Treasure, Moon, Greedy Wolf, Giant Gate, Heavenly Phase, Heavenly Beam, Seven-Fiend, and Military Breaker.
"Look at the surroundings—those Seven-Fiendish Netherworld Chains might actually be locking onto fourteen points around the city," Qiao Bian explained, sharing what he had inferred.
