Looking back, where they could only hear sounds but not see anyone in the passage, three corpses appeared, wrapped in several iron chains.
Xuan-level! These are three Xuan-level monsters!
Fortunately, these three monsters seemed to be stiff due to being corpses, and their speed was not very fast, which allowed Li Hao to not get caught up.
However, as his footsteps slowed down, the three corpses got even closer, about to reach him.
âBig Brother, save me!â Li Hao screamed.
Su Nan didnât even look and waved his hand, sending three electric lights that shot through and directly shattered the bodies of the three monsters. The fragmented corpse pieces rained down.
âHiss!â Seeing Su Nan effortlessly killing the three Xuan-level monsters, Li Hao couldnât help but take a cold breath.
However, considering Su Nanâs strength, he felt it was natural and immediately shouted excitedly: âBig Brother is mighty!â
When Li Hao ran to Su Nan, he saw a corpse in the stone coffin as well, although half of the corpse had already exploded.
There was no need to guess, the one who made the move was naturally Su Nan.
Su Nan looked at an item he was interested in and his eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and joy that was not easy to notice.
It was a key made of white jade-like material.
[Key of Heaven: Collect nine Keys of Heaven to open the Gate of Heaven]
âI didnât expect to get such a thing here. Luck is really a wonderful thing.â
This was already his fourth key.
Su Nanâs thoughts flashed, and he casually took the Key of Heaven and took out the Cosmic Ring to look at Li Hao.
âYou go in here first, and Iâll take you out of here.â
As he spoke, he didnât care whether Li Hao agreed or not, and directly put him into the Cosmic Ring.
Using Across the Heavens Shift, in the next moment, they were back on land.
Releasing Li Hao from the Cosmic Ring, Li Hao looked around blankly at first. Upon realizing that they had left the relic, he was overjoyed: âWe came out! Finally came out!â
Li Hao had a look of having a narrow escape, and upon seeing the Cosmic Ring in Su Nanâs hand, his eyes showed envy: âBig Brother, what treasure is this that can even hold people?â
âItâs nothing, just a Cosmic Ring.â Su Nan didnât explain much either.
Cosmic Ring? Li Hao secretly noted it and took out an item: âBig Brother, this is my reward for this task. I donât know if you need it?â
[Tiger Soul Saber: An ancient powerhouse killed an Emperor-level Tiger Demon, forged the saber with tiger bones, quenched it with tiger blood, and nurtured the saber with tiger spirit. When used, there is a chance to unleash the power of the Tiger Soul.]
âItâs a nice item, but itâs useless to me. Keep it for yourself.â Su Nan glanced at it and didnât care.
Now he had the Dragon-Slaying Sword, so he was not in need of such an attack-type weapon, and he didnât fancy the Tiger Soul Saber either.
âSince Big Brother doesnât want it, then I wonât be polite!â Li Hao happily stowed the Tiger Soul Saber away.
Su Nan said: âNext, I will return to the Great Yu Imperial City. Do you intend to stay here or go to the Imperial City with me?â
Li Hao immediately replied: âI want to go to the Great Yu Imperial City. I have long wanted to see the Imperial City, but I never had the chance.â
Su Nan nodded, not wasting any words, put Li Hao back into the Cosmic Ring, and transformed into a flying bird. In a flash, he disappeared and soared into the sky.
It was very far from Silver Frost County to the Great Yu Imperial City. Even with Su Nanâs current speed, it would take a while to get there.
Half a day later, after a good five to six hours, Su Nan finally arrived at the Imperial City.
âThis is the Imperial City? Itâs just like what was described in the forum!â
Li Hao walked on the Imperial City Boulevard, looking at the players who sometimes disappeared and sometimes appeared, busily working for their tasks, with a bewildered look in his eyes.
Su Nan said, âI have other things to do and canât take you with me for now. You should familiarize yourself with this place first.â
He didnât intend to keep Li Hao with him all the time. Li Haoâs strength was only at the Spirit level and couldnât help at all. Su Nan didnât want to carry a burden around with him everywhere.
Moreover, he had many secrets, which made it unsuitable to have other players with him.
Li Hao understood Su Nanâs meaning and showed disappointment in his eyes, but he didnât cling to Su Nan.
After bidding farewell to Su Nan, Li Hao turned around and left.
âNow itâs time to get my hands on the Golden Leaf Spirit Ginseng.â Su Nan thought and then looked at the regional chat.
He didnât know where Wu Xiaoxiao was. If he tried to find her himself, it would waste time. It was simpler to send a message in the regional chat and let Wu Xiaoxiao come to the Imperial City to trade with him.
Of course, if other people wanted to find him through the regional chat, it would be impossible because he hardly paid attention to it.
There were countless players sending messages in the regional chat every moment, like a waterfall of messages, making it dazzling to look at.
However, as one of the top players among the deities, the moment Su Nan sent his message, the regional chat exploded.
âWu Xiaoxiao is trading with Deity Wang Nan? What are they trading?â
Seeing Su Nanâs message, everyone was curious. Many players in the Imperial City even wanted to join the excitement and take a look.
The news spread quickly, and soon Wu Xiaoxiao received the news. She replied in the regional chat, âIâll be there in half an hour!â
Seeing the message, Su Nan nodded, changed his appearance and found a quiet place in a tavern to wait.
He didnât know that after his appearance was exposed, a conspiracy against him was unfolding in a small town in Wansheng Prefecture.
Several men dressed in black robes gathered in a room. If Su Nan were here, he would definitely recognize that these men were from the Destiny Society, and they were all powerful figures with King-level strength!
âFinally, he appears! This damned guy has really made us search hard!â
âNow that he has appeared, letâs carry out our plan accordingly. He is growing too fast. If we allow him to continue, we will be helpless against him. This time, we absolutely cannot let him escape.â
Someone thought of something and cautiously said, âHe has the strength to kill a mid-stage King-level person now. With the means we have prepared now, it wouldnât be a problem to kill him, but it might not be safe enough to try to control him.â
Hearing that, the others also thought about this problem and kept silent.
Their prepared plan was aimed at defeating an Early King Rank. It shouldnât cause any problem dealing with a mid-stage King-level person, but now that the target had the strength to kill a mid-stage King-level person, it might indeed be unsafe to use their previous preparations.
They couldnât afford to lose this opportunity. They had to be confident and couldnât be careless at all.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After a moment of silence, the leader said, âWe have no choice but to use that thing!â
Someone seemed to recall something and asked uncertainly, âThat thing? Is itâ¦?â
The leader nodded, âYes, itâs that thing. Only that thing can guarantee that our operation will be foolproof.â
Others nodded in agreement, âAlthough using that thing to deal with him may be overkill, it will absolutely work, even if he has the strength to kill a Late King Rank or even Peak King-level person, he wonât escape our grasp!â
â¦
Half an hour later.
In a private room at an inn in Great Yu Imperial City, Su Nan transformed back into Wang Nanâs appearance. Opposite him were several young women, led by the sweet-looking Wu Xiaoxiao, the President of the Breaking Dawn Guild.
âWang Nan, itâs not easy to find you, youâre like a dragon that hides its head but not its tail,â complained Wu Xiaoxiao.
âWhere is my item?â Su Nan asked directly.
A jade box appeared in Wu Xiaoxiaoâs hand, and as it opened, a ginseng with golden leaves that looked like blood jade lay inside, emitting a crystal-like luster. At first glance, it was clearly no ordinary item.
Instead of handing over the Golden Leaf Spirit Ginseng to Su Nan, Wu Xiaoxiao just opened it to let Su Nan take a glimpse and then put it away. âIâve got the item, but I canât give it to you yet. I want you to help me complete a task first.â
Hearing that, Su Nan frowned and refused without hesitating, âNo, if you want my help, you must give me the item first.â
