Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 773 - 750 Baiming City (1/3)

Under Yin’s somewhat unclear explanation, Grandpa Hu finally let his guard down around Zhou Heng, but it was impossible for him to fully trust Zhou Heng.

"Grandpa Hu, what exactly happened? Who did this?" Zhou Heng asked. He was no longer the young boy who had just left Origin Stone Town, but his passion had never changed.

He couldn’t possibly right every injustice in the world, but if he stumbled upon one, he would certainly see it through.

"All I know is that it was done by people from Baiming City... They took away Yin’s mother!" Grandpa Hu hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

The man in front of him was able to save his severely injured self from the brink of death without leaving a single scar—such ability was nothing short of miraculous! Perhaps, he could seek justice for the unjustly deceased villagers.

"Grandpa, what about my dad?" Yin’s dim eyes brightened.

"Your dad..." Grandpa Hu sighed, "is dead!"

Zhou Heng looked at Grandpa Hu, sensing that the old man seemed to be hiding something. There must be some hidden secret for the killers to have slaughtered the village and yet taken one person away.

Yin immediately burst into loud crying again. Grandpa Hu comforted the little girl, then looked at Zhou Heng and said, "Yin’s mother is not from the village; she seems to know those people!"

Zhou Heng nodded. It was clear that the evildoers came for Yin’s mother, and the killing and arson seemed like acts of venting fury.

But could ordinary villagers have provoked them? How innocent they were!

"Grandpa Hu, in which direction is Baiming City?" Zhou Heng asked with a smile, yet his smile hid an intense chill.

"Young man, you might be strong, but there are countless experts in this world. The old man here ventured out when he was young, but..." Grandpa Hu advised, afraid Zhou Heng would be walking into the tiger’s den, needlessly losing his life.

Zhou Heng smiled slightly. He was a Thirteen Aspects Sublimation Sovereign; in the Immortal Realm, only beings of the Creation Realm could suppress him—excluding Huo Tian, of course, and such exceptions were unique in the entire Immortal Realm.

"Just by the fact that I could save you, should be enough for you to trust me!" He patted Grandpa Hu on the shoulder.

Grandpa Hu touched his chest, unable to believe that he was healed in such a short time; this miracle far exceeded his imagination! Perhaps this man truly was powerful, powerful enough to suppress heaven and earth, powerful enough to avenge their dead villagers!

"Baiming City is in that direction!" Grandpa Hu pointed northwest, "Young expert, you must not be careless. Baiming City has a supreme expert of the Land Cleaving Realm!"

Land Cleaving Realm?

How distant did that seem?

Zhou Heng showed a look of reminiscence as if he had instantly returned to the Mortal Realm, to those days when he had just entered Black Water Hall, struggling for survival. Were Zhu Zhihe, Liu Yan, and the other old members of Black Water Hall doing well?

Seeing him lost in thought, Grandpa Hu thought Zhou Heng was intimidated by the mention of the "Land Cleaving Realm expert" and internally sighed. No one would knowingly go to their death; that wasn’t called courage; it was foolishness!

He would never blame Zhou Heng for backing down. It was human nature to do so. Besides, Zhou Heng had no obligation to the Hu Family Village, so why should he sacrifice anything for them?

"Big brother, I want to go find my mother!" Yin said, grabbing Zhou Heng’s hand. Although the little girl didn’t fully understand the situation, Grandpa Hu nearly died, clearly not the right person to save her mother.

But Zhou Heng, who could make two grown people vanish, had the ability to perform "magic tricks," so saving and bringing her mother back shouldn’t be difficult.

She looked at Zhou Heng with hopeful eyes.

"Yin!" Grandpa Hu’s expression changed slightly, worried that Zhou Heng, unable to save face, would get angry and kill both him and Yin—in the eyes of experts, the lives of the weak were not really lives, much like ants.

Zhou Heng came back to his senses, gave Yin’s head a gentle pat, and said softly, "Alright, big brother promises you!"

Grandpa Hu looked at Zhou Heng with confusion, not believing that Zhou Heng was so young and yet possessed the power to rival the Land Cleaving Realm. Those words were most likely just to comfort Yin, so he didn’t say anything to dissuade him.

"Big brother will take you to a place first, where you and two sisters, along with Tongtong, can play!" In a flash, Zhou Heng had taken Mu Tongtong, Yin, and Black Donkey into the Immortal Residence.

Grandpa Hu’s eyes bulged out as if he had actually seen a ghost!

This ability to magically shift people was completely beyond his comprehension; the old man’s face twitched uncontrollably. Had he not traveled the world in his younger days, he would have likely fainted by now.

The scenery changed, and Zhou Heng and the others had entered the Immortal Residence.

The Blue Dragon Queen was surveying her surroundings with a wary gaze, while the Red Dragon Empress lounged lazily on a rattan chair nearby, looking as if she couldn’t be bothered to get up even if the sky were falling.

Upon seeing Zhou Heng and the others appear, the Blue Dragon Queen immediately asked, "What is this place? What sorcery have you used?"

Black Donkey also freaked out, its hair standing on end as it barked incessantly, causing everyone to feel a twitch on their face—was that really a donkey or a dog?

"Relax, it’s safe here!" Zhou Heng patted Mu Tongtong’s head and said, "Take Yin outside to play!" Although the Immortal Residence couldn’t be compared to the first one in size, it wasn’t too small either, with five sections of rooms, a garden, and a small lake, covering an area of six or seven acres.

After sending the two young girls off, Zhou Heng beckoned to the Blue Dragon Queen and said, "I’ll use you for an experiment!"

"What—" Just as the Blue Dragon Queen showed a vigilant look, Zhou Heng had already grabbed her wrist. With an "ah," she let out a soft cry as a rudely made cut appeared on her jade-like skin, causing fresh blood to seep out.

But just a moment later, Zhou Heng waved his hand, and her wound immediately healed, leaving not even a scar.

"What are you doing!" she asked angrily, looking at Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng couldn’t help but frown. The reduction in her cultivation level was not just on a conscious level, but also in reality—otherwise, like the Blue Dragon Empress in the past, although she had amnesia, she would still instinctively unleash the power of a Super Creation Emperor when faced with danger.

Now, this Blue Dragon Empress was so weak that even an ordinary person could easily kill her!

The suppression of the laws was truly amazing!

"Sorry, sorry!" said Zhou Heng, but without any sincerity. After all, this Empress had almost slaughtered him once, so using her for an experiment was nothing in comparison.

The Blue Dragon Empress gritted her teeth in anger, but her amnesia didn’t mean she was a fool. On the contrary, she was now countless times more astute than when she was a naïve young girl and knew that she could not beat Zhou Heng, so she swallowed her anger.

Zhou Heng had a thought and left the Immortal Residence.

Seeing him suddenly appear, Master Hu had a blank look in his eyes, like a dead fish.

Zhou Heng felt a strange sense of amusement. With a spring in his step, he soared into the sky.

Flying, a flying person!

Master Hu’s capacity for shock finally reached its limit, and with his legs going soft, he fainted away in disgrace.

Baiming City was at least ten thousand miles away from the village—a distance seemingly impossible for ordinary people to traverse in their lifetime. But for Zhou Heng, what was ten thousand miles?

With no oppressive gravity here, one step he took covered thousands of miles.

However, after arriving outside the city, Zhou Heng couldn’t help but give a wry smile; he had perhaps run too fast!

The strongest in Baiming City only reached the Land Cleaving Realm. Even if Master Hu’s information was out of date, at most, it would be the Open Heaven Realm. What level could those they sent out be? At best the Spirit Gathering Realm, and not exceeding the Initial Separation Realm.

How long would it take for them to cover ten thousand miles?

It had to be at least ten days to half a month, right? He had crossed over in just a few steps and had already left those people far behind without a trace!

But he was completely unfamiliar with this place. By the time he figured out the local situation, those people would probably have already returned to Baiming City.

So... why not wait here for them to come back? It was a good opportunity to investigate and understand what was going on in this world.

Before entering Baiming City, Zhou Heng brought out the four beauties and the Black Donkey from the Immortal Residence.

When they saw Baiming City, all four women were amazed because this was the first large city they had ever seen in their memory! The two Dragon Sovereigns didn’t know the exact location of Baiming City, and the two young girls didn’t think too much at all. None of them found it strange that they had suddenly come to this place.

As for the Black Donkey... it started biting on Zhou Heng’s clothes as soon as it came out, not caring about anything else.

"Let’s first find an inn to stay in the city!"

Upon entering Baiming City, the four women, including Zhou Heng, looked around with great curiosity.

Everything here was actually not that different from the outside world: there were commoners and street thugs, all the usual suspects.

Zhou Heng quickly found an inn, but he was embarrassed when it came time to pay the deposit. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Because they didn’t accept Immortal Stones here!

Martial Artists of the Mortal Realm naturally couldn’t absorb Immortal Stones for cultivation. The currency in circulation here was the lower-tier Spirit Stones and gold and silver. Zhou Heng couldn’t help feeling awkward; he had long since run out of gold, and naturally had neglected Spirit Stones for a long time. Coming here, he was literally penniless!

Luckily, with his strength, he flashed away and in the blink of an eye, took several chests of gold and silver from the treasury of a wealthy family in the city and casually pre-paid a month’s rent.

The main reason he wanted to stay in an inn was that he also wanted to gather some information.

Now that both Dragon Sovereigns and Mu Tongtong had become true Mortals, they got hungry if they missed a meal. Zhou Heng took them out to dine first, and the Black Donkey was also brought along. With the saying that money talks, the inn staff turned a blind eye when he brought in a donkey to join them for the meal, as long as he slapped down gold and silver ingots.

After three days, Zhou Heng had gained a preliminary understanding of this mysterious land.

This place was called the Holy Land Continent, worshipping a supreme Immortal God. Although there were no altars to this Holy God here, they could be found in higher-level places and virtually every city had one.

Those who disrespect the Holy God were considered enemies of all, to be exterminated by everyone!

The strength distribution of this continent was strongest in the center, with power declining towards the outer regions. Zhou Heng had clearly only just begun to uncover the tip of the iceberg of this mysterious world.

However, before the group that resorted to murder and arson returned, he was already cornered in the inn because his theft of gold and silver had been exposed! (To be continued.
