Chapter 131: Chasing Ghosts.
Without explaining further, Adrian stepped out of the inn. The sun was just coming out, but it was bright enough to see.
However, there was a noticeable shift in the atmosphere in the city. There weren’t many individuals on the streets. The few that came out were either Qi condensation realm cultivators or were of the Golden core realm and above.
No Foundation Establishment realm cultivator could be found. And for good reason. No one wanted to be nabbed on the street while they were just going about their business.
The overall mood in the city was also down. Merchants were having a hard time selling their wares and were already thinking about leaving the city.
Also, the number of visitors had reduced over the past few days. News of what was going on in the city had spread, and people were starting to avoid it.
Adrian’s gaze hardened as he locked on two guards who were making their way through the city. As soon as both of them turned into an alley, Adrian followed them quietly.
It seemed that they were using the alley as a shortcut to their destination, but they would soon regret that decision.
Step! Step!
As soon as both guards heard the sounds of footsteps behind them, they turned around only to see the gleaming edge of a sword.
In one swift motion, Adrian beheaded one of them. The other guards stood frozen, but soon snapped back to reality. He was about to scream for help, but before he could,
Pierce.
The Skyveil sword pierced into his chest. He glanced down to find the sword embedded in his chest. His vision was fading, but just before ti did, he noticed something strange.
