Chapter 758: Dark Overlord
“It’s done, miss.”
Cui Qiuyuan dumped the corpses on the ground and seemingly glanced at Ye Qing. However, he looked away so quickly and masterfully that most people would not be able to tell if it was on purpose.
Ye Qing knew it was on purpose. Cui Qiuyuan’s killing intent had skewered like a blade during that brief moment. He paid him no heed though.
“Mm.”
Murong Xianxian replied noncommittally. Suddenly, the volcano shook violently, and what seemed like an infinite stream of lava and fire shot into the sky. The deadly elements did not fall to the ground, however. Instead, they floated in the air and circled around the volcano. It looked magnificent.
A couple of breaths later, the lava and fire slowly gathered together and condensed into a pocket-sized volcano. It landed snugly on Murong Xianxian’s palm. Despite its size, Ye Qing could sense its immense power.
After putting away the volcano, Murong Xianxian took them to the Western Geng Metal Pavilion. At this point, it became clear that the woman did not care for the treasures stored inside the buildings. It was the natural essences that she was after.
The Northern Gui Water Palace was a lake, the Eastern Yi Wood Garden was a forest, the Southern Li Fire Tower was a volcano, and the Western Geng Metal Pavilion was a tall, massive stele that was covered in swords.
According to Murong Xianxian, the Western Geng Metal Pavilion was where the world’s most famous swords were stored. Unfortunately, by the time they arrived at its location, the stele had collapsed, and the swords were nowhere to be found.
