C2221 Permanent Pursuit
chapter 2221. - Permanent Pursuit
The golden light, words, and patterns were all returned to the sword.
Qin Xiao held the sword in one hand and took it over.
It was simple and unadorned, and its shape was very average. Holding it in his hand, he didn't feel much, just like an ordinary Upper Grade Immortal Artifact sword.
Compared to the Frenzied Explosive Sword, the feeling it gave off was much worse.
As soon as he held the sword in his hand, he could feel a wild and explosive force surging out from the sword. It made him very confident in the Frenzied Explosive Sword. With just a swing of the sword, he could feel the explosive force gushing out, causing the sword to howl in the sky.
Only a sword like that could give people a very strong feeling and strong confidence.
This Heaven Opening Sword, just its name alone was domineering, but the sword was incomparably simple and unadorned. The golden blade also seemed a bit downcast, as if it was covered in dust.
However, Qin Xiao knew that it was only the sword spirit that had fallen asleep, so he restrained all the sharpness that this sword should have.
This Heaven Opening Sword was a Holy Artifact! If the power of the Holy Artifact was fully unleashed, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Only when the power of the Holy Artifact was completely retracted would it give people the illusion that it was a Holy Artifact.
However, according to what the Sword Spirit of Heaven Opening said, he would need to sleep for ten million years, which meant that he wouldn't be able to use the power of the Holy Artifact for the next ten million years?
Forget it.
Qin Xiao shook his head and smiled. He didn't think too much about these things. He had never relied on the power of treasures. It didn't matter anymore. Ten million years wasn't a long time.
As soon as the sword was put away, the spatial zone collapsed. A force pushed Qin Xiao out of the spatial zone, allowing him to walk out of the spatial zone in an instant.
As soon as he came out, he saw General Manager Yuan, who had been waiting for him.
When General Manager Yuan saw Qin Xiao, his expression became somewhat agitated, and his eyes became filled with respect.
"City Lord, Old Servant has finally waited for you. If Yuan Jian, Master, knew about this, he would be very pleased."
"All the previous city lords were unable to obtain the inheritance left by Yuan Jian and Master. You have finally obtained it."
"This means that the city lord is the fated person that Original Sword City Lord is looking for, the one who has formed a good relationship with him."
"Original Sword City Lord left a message before he left. If one day... Someone who can obtain his inheritance is the permanent City Lord of Free City. No one can replace him."
"All the forces of City Lord's Mansion will follow him with their lives."
"City Lord, Old Servant and the Free Legion, yu Sheng will follow the City Lord with his life."
Ah?
Qin Xiao was stunned when he heard what General Manager Yuan said. What was going on?
This meant that he wouldn't be able to become the City Lord in the future even if he didn't want to. General Manager Yuan and the Free Legion had pledged their loyalty to the City Lord. Now, they only swore their loyalty to him?
This wasn't right. Qin Xiao had never thought of becoming the City Lord of Free City.
He had already thought about it. He would have to leave after staying for two million years at most. If the situation in Free City was developing well, perhaps he would be able to leave after a million years.
He had always been the City Lord of Free City. That Qin Xiao would definitely not be willing to do so.
"General Manager Yuan, I am confused by you. What is the meaning of this? I can't even be Free City Lord anymore in the future?" Qin Xiao asked.
General Manager Yuan said, "Return to the city. According to Yuan Jian and Master, it should be like this. It's not that it's impossible. At least it should be a Universe Era, right? "
"If the city lords behind us are really unwilling to be the city lords of Free City, we can imitate Yuan Jian and Master."
"After all, Free City is the work of Yuan Jian and Master. Therefore, Yuan Jian hopes that the future generations will be able to rule Free City well. Therefore, the inheritance left behind by Yuan Jian and Master should be pretty good. "
"What Old Servant means is that the city lord won't be restricted by the other city lords. Old Servant and Free Army are loyal to the City Lord, and there are no restrictions. The City Lord can do whatever he wants. "
" No matter if it's for business or personal matters, the City Lord can order Old Servant and the Free Legion to do it. "
" If the City Lord is unwilling to become the City Lord after Universe Era, he can do what Yuan Jian and Master did. "
A Universe Era?
To Qin Xiao, this would take a very long time.
But how should he put it? He was too lenient to Original Sword City Lord. After obtaining Original Sword City Lord's rich inheritance, Qin Xiao felt embarrassed to receive such a huge reward.
Therefore, after thinking for a while, Qin Xiao asked again, "Must we have a Universe Era?"
"This..." General Manager Yuan looked at Qin Xiao and hesitated for a moment. Then he said, "It does not mean that we must have a Universe Era. In terms of the time, Yuan Jian and Master did not have any specific requirements. As for the details, it will depend on what you do, city Lord."
"It's just that Old Servant has some selfish motives. I hope City Lord will not abandon Free City so easily."
"Old Servant has lived in Free City for countless years and has witnessed too many things. His feelings towards Free City are incomparably deep and irreplaceable."
"I believe that not only Old Servant, but also all the people of Free City."
Qin Xiao nodded and became silent.
Ai, that's right. He could understand all of these.
If it was before, Qin Xiao wouldn't have felt so much pressure. It was just that it was difficult to do so because of everyone's kindness.
However, there wasn't much of a problem with Free City. It should be able to settle down in a few million years and walk on the right path.
At that time, Qin Xiao would naturally have no problem leaving the Free City.
But now wasn't the time. After obtaining the inheritance of Original Sword City Lord and obtaining so many benefits, he wouldn't be able to become the City Lord for a million years. He could just leave like that?
There wouldn't be any problem if he insisted on doing so. After all, no one could stop him from doing anything.
However, if he did this, Qin Xiao's conscience wouldn't be at ease either.
Although he didn't want to be a Universe Era for such a long time, it wouldn't be as short as one or two million years, right?
Therefore, this question made Qin Xiao somewhat conflicted. In the end, he thought about it and decided to forget about it. Then let's do it this way first. We'll take it one step at a time.
If the Great Dao had just broken through, he would indeed need some time to digest it and stabilize his realm.
He also needed some time to cultivate and comprehend the Heaven Opening Sword Spell.
Qin Xiao had long discovered that this Holy Arts was a supreme technique that led to the path of the Ancient Saint. It had the power to guide people.
In other words, if one could continuously cultivate and break through this Holy Arts, one would be able to reach the Saint realm.
Saint realm was naturally the direction Qin Xiao wanted to pursue with all his effort.
"That's right, General Manager Yuan. Has anyone come looking for me in the past hundred thousand years?" Qin Xiao asked about the main issue.
General Manager Yuan immediately nodded and said: "Yes, of course. The Elf Clan Chief and the others would come every few days. It seems like they have a lot of things to discuss with you, city Lord. "
Qin Xiao nodded. He had already expected this. After all, he had gone to that spatial zone the moment he returned to the City Lord's Mansion. He had stayed there for a hundred thousand years. The elders of Elf Clan must have a lot of things to do.
"General Manager Yuan, inform the Elf Clan Chief and the others to come and see me. Also, prepare some food and wine."
General Manager Yuan immediately nodded his head. "Yes, city Lord. I will inform them immediately."
"Alright, let's go to the guest hall and wait for them. We will chat as we walk. Coincidentally, I also want to know some things about the Free City in these hundred thousand years." Qin Xiao said.
From General Manager Yuan's words, Qin Xiao had also learned some of the things that happened in the Free City in the past hundred thousand years.
Generally speaking, it was still pretty good. It was about the same as what he had expected, or even a little better.
Qin Xiao felt a little relieved when he heard the good news. It seemed like the governance of Free City did not require much concern from him.
With the elders of Elf Clan around, they would be able to share the same heart. That way, many things would be easily resolved.
Those people who had committed heinous crimes and were extremely dangerous had been killed as well.
The current Free City could be considered to be relatively safe.
All the races were united, as if they were on good terms with each other.
Soon, the elders of the Elf Clan and the other Fourth Step Heavenly Sovereign Stage warriors arrived. They were the mainstays of the Free City and the decision-makers.
"Eh?"
Everyone revealed a surprised expression when they saw Qin Xiao.
"City Lord, you have actually broken through to the Fourth Step Heavenly Sovereign Stage? Or is it because the City Lord was a Fourth Step Heavenly Sovereign Stage before, but he kept the aura hidden? " The Elf Clan Chief asked in surprise.
Everyone had noticed this.
Qin Xiao had broken through to the Fourth Step Heavenly Sovereign Stage, so naturally, the aura was a genuine Fourth Step Heavenly Sovereign Stage.
However, this time, Qin Xiao did not conceal the aura. Therefore, everyone could see it with a single glance.
In front of the elders of Elf Clan, there was no need for Qin Xiao to hide anything anymore. Therefore, he nodded his head frankly and said. "Haha, that's right. He had finally made some progress in his hundred thousand years of seclusion. I didn't disappoint my expectations. I broke through to the Fourth Step Heavenly Sovereign Stage in one go, accomplishing a goal that I have achieved for many years. "
Although he didn't hide his strength, Qin Xiao didn't say much about the inheritance left by Original Sword City Lord.
After all, this was a secret.
Furthermore, the situation of the Holy Artifact's Holy Arts had to be kept a secret. Otherwise, once this matter was spread out, it would definitely cause countless troubles.
It was even possible that there would be Ancient Saints who would attack him.
After all, a single Holy Artifact was enough to move Ancient Saint's heart.
If this attracted trouble... Qin Xiao wasn't the only unlucky one. Even the Free City would be implicated as well.
In such a situation, he naturally had to be careful.
"Hahaha, congratulations City Lord, city Lord He Xi. City Lord is indeed worthy of being a peerless genius, an unprecedented genius that has shocked the past and present."
" This is truly admirable. The City Lord has only cultivated for more than twenty million years, but he has already broken through to the Fourth Step Heavenly Sovereign Stage. Tsk tsk, this is unbelievable. Thinking about it, it took me an entire Universe Era to break through to the Fourth Step Heavenly Sovereign Stage. "
" Patriarch of Giant Strength Clan, stop showing off. You are only in the Universe Era for a short period of time. I have more than a dozen people in the Universe Era, but none of them said anything. "
"Haha, I could still show off with my strength in the past. How can I show off in front of the City Lord now?"2
The elders of Elf Clan truly admired Qin Xiao from the bottom of their hearts. In fact, they even admired him.
Therefore, they respected Qin Xiao even more.
Those with strength, those with talent, those with charm... No matter what, they would be respected.
If all three of them were present, it would be enough to make people admire and worship them.
And Qin Xiao was clearly the one who possessed all three of them.
Facing everyone's congratulations and respect, Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Alright, everyone is here. Let's get down to business."
"I've got people to prepare some wine. It's a little crude. Everyone can order whatever you want. We can drink while discussing proper business."
"I've been in seclusion all these years. I've been a shopkeeper who threw everything I had to you. It's been hard on you all."
"This cup of wine, let me first toast to the various Patriarchs."
Everyone was impressed by Qin Xiao's humility.
