Chapter 420

Arthur and Lucy didn't remain in that area too long . They achieved what they came here to do so they should leave, or so thought Arthur . However, it wasn't as simple as that . If it was just to do this much, he wouldn't have come all the way from the future to specifically tell Lucy to travel to this secret realm .

Sure, they got discovered but as long as they're not caught by the old man, everything should be alright . Before he left, Artid told them some interesting things, it appears that the Holy Dominion sent even more people after him . They arrived here a few days late, nonetheless, their motives were clear and from the looks of it, they dispatched more than just a Deacon this time around .

Furthermore, leaving this world isn't easy, to say the least . If one is powerful enough, they can forcefully break their way out but it is advised to wait until everyone is exiled back to Green Leaf .

Although the entry portal doesn't disappear even after some time, which gives some of the cultivators to catch up, the way out proves to be a troublesome . In a way, the cultivators are trapped here, willingly, of course .

Since they had no specific destination in mind, the couple decided to go the center of the realm, where the pregnant female dragon is .

Almost all of the powerful cultivators are sure to be there, however, the butler would try to find Lucy and he won't bother looking in that place . The most obvious hideout are usually the best . Even if they encounter that powerful old man, Arthur would improvise, after all, the butler is weakened and he can't take them both that easily, even if he's an Overgod .

Claud also assured him, telling him to be careful and if things go south, blow everything using the Vermilion Bird's body . With the addition of the Fire Spirit and the Empyrian Dragon's blood, coupled with the divine beast's skills, the destruction he can cause is unimaginable .

Honestly, Arthur was a bit interested about the Space Dragon but he wasn't greedy for its treasures as he couldn't care less about its wealth . He wanted to see what a true powerful dragon looked, a dragon that lived a million years .

The couple journeyed together, Arthur possessing Lucy while she took the appearance of a middle-aged man . Arthur used a miniature concealing formation to lower her presence and make the specter scent minimal .

Surprisingly, in their way to the dragon's lair, the stumbled upon a fierce yet familiar girl . Wielding her red sword and viciously slashing a golden rhino, which was, in fact, a peak Sovereign Beast . The thick murderous aura emanating from her made her easily recognizable .

Jian Si, seeing a middle-aged man stop a distance away from her, was a bit startled as he appeared out of nowhere . After a simple glance, she paid him no heed, after all, there's no lack of powerful cultivators roaming this land .

Noticing that he kept staring at her, she furrowed her brows, about to question him only for a telepathic voice to enter her ears .

"It's me . "

Cold Sword immediately knew whose voice it is . She sheathed her sword and looked at Lucy with a strange look . Every time she meets him, he has a different appearance, she can't even feel the ominous aura of the Dark Magic .

"What are you doing here?"

'Heading to the center of the realm since the dragon is there . '-Arthur

Lucy didn't talk but Arthur replied to the curious Jian Si through telepathy, make her even more confused to why he refuses to openly talk .

'The one you're looking at is Lucy, I'm hiding somewhere . '

Cold Sword didn't ask too many questions, after nodding her head, she resumed her long hunt . However, it didn't seem that Arthur was going to let her be . Lucy followed the girl around as her husband questioned the latter

"Do you know when the dragon will give birth?"

"I don't know . "

"Then what about who's currently there?"

"I don't know . "

"What about your juniors, where are they?"

"I don't know . "

It's either she really didn't know or was purposely doing that . In any case, Arthur said something that made her completely change attitude .

"Hmmm you don't know here I thought about teaching you a sword technique . "

The walking Jian Si suddenly halted, turning her stiff head toward the middle-aged man a distance behind her . A beautiful smile was plastered on her usually cold face, making even the indifferent Lucy speechless .

"Teacher I just remembered a few things . Apparently, the entrance to the dragon's lair is weakening every day . In four to five days, it'll shatter . As for who's there there is that annoying pink-haired girl, the Flame Crown Prince, the Sacred Priest, the Water Cloud Sect, the Mirage Era Hall Sect, my sect and a few others . "

She answered everything in one go, and in such detail too . When she heard about the sword technique, it's like she became a completely different question .

"So everyone is there? What about the Holy Dominion? Or the woman from the White Specter Clan?"

The dark-haired girl thought for a moment before speaking

"I've heard cultivators talk about that woman, apparently, she completed five levels of the Paradise Garden and failed mid-way through the sixth . The Holy Dominion's activities are strange, I've seen them roam around everywhere, probably searching for teacher . "

Cold Sword was no fool, she knew that Arthur was a user of Dark Magic and ascertained of her guess after the fight in the Imperial Capital . Either way, she didn't care about his powers, she just wished to learn from him as his sword skills are unique and are perfect her sword dao .

"Good, what about the old man accompanying that White Specter?"

This time, Jian Si didn't need to think as she replied instantly

"There's been a huge fight near the White Paradise . From what I've heard, that area turned into rubble as the head butler of the White Specter Clan clashed with Wrath . "

'Wrath?!'-Claud

"Wrath as in one of the seven deadly sins? What's he doing here . "

The girl shrugged her shoulders and answered:

"I don't know but someone like him doesn't need anything from this place . Moreover, he's the Crown Prince's personal guard, it's the first time I see him leave his side . "

As if remembering something, Jian Si added:

"Oh that was confidential information I wasn't supposed to say that"

She didn't seem too bothered by spitting such crucial information . As the next leader of her sect, she was eligible to know some of Green Leaf's top secrets, like the one she so blatantly said

'One of the sins was so close to us? Damn!'

Arthur was honestly startled . The Joker already warned him to stay away from them, fortunately, Wrath didn't discover Makaze as the blade wasn't in his possession, or so thought Arthur, who knew naught about the prince's plans and the amount of information he dug about him and Lucy .

'Relax, I doubt Wrath is hostile toward you . I don't know his reasons but he must have been ordered to stay still . There's no way such a powerful individual wouldn't have discovered you when you first came to the city . '

"Do you know why they fought?"

"Unclear . " She shook her head while saying that .

After he was done with the questioning, the girl looked at him with a slightly excited expression, clearly waiting for him to do what he promised .

Arthur sighed and left Lucy's body, appearing a few inches away from Jian Si, who, by reflex, was about to back away only for his index to touch her forehead .

Learning a technique from scratch is way better than having it imparted to you, however, Arthur's didn't want to waste much time teaching her . This method wasn't that efficient but it did the job and as long as Jian Si is meticulous and perceptive, she shouldn't find any problems mastering the skill .

The sword skill he imparted to her was [Heavenly Slash] his second strongest sword skill . He had three ultimate sword skills which are the very strongest of his whole arsenal .

[Heavenly Slash] is composed of one simple slashing move but its prowess is unimaginable . It contains a dense amount of Sword Essence, which either unleashing in its raw state in some form of a burst or is turned into one of the attributes, granting additional effects .

This skill wasn't obtained from a corpse but is the fusion of exactly six hundred and twenty-four max Lv sword skills . It may seem simple and lacking on the outside but it represents the apex of sword mastery . Sometimes, the simplest moves are the deadliest .

Taking the Nameless Knight as an example, he just stabs or slashes his sword to kill his opponents . No flashy moves, weird dances or domineering skill names .
