“Rong Chengji, Qiu Chengshuang, it’s actually you two?” Feng Kangan stepped forward, revealing a look of surprise. He knew these two; they were top experts from Thunder City, at the peak of the mid-level Martial God realm. Feng Kangan frowned and said in a deep voice, “What are you two doing here? What about President Gongsun Zhe and the others?”
These two could only be considered minor characters among the many experts sucked into the Spatial Seal. It should be noted that back then, even the weakest participant in the search for the Spatial Seal had a peak mid-level cultivation, with a considerable number being prominent Martial Gods. Among these people, the truly top-tier were experts like Gongsun Zhe from the Sky Patrol Association and Wuyong, the president of the Martial Contest Association. They were the top powers in Thunder City.
“President Gongsun Zhe and the others are in the cave. How did you, the owner of the Ancient Sword Manor, get in?”
Both of them showed astonishment, as they had not seen the owner of the Ancient Sword Manor when they were sucked in.
Moreover, they did not recognize Qin Mo, who was beside the owner of the Ancient Sword Manor. Hearing this, Feng Kangan slightly nodded and respectfully said to Qin Mo, “Brother Mo, these two are strong figures from Thunder City, Rong Chengji from the Sky Patrol Association and Qiu Chengshuang, the protector of the Heavenly Intent Alchemy Pavilion. They were among the first to enter this Spatial Seal. Since they are here, it is highly likely that President Gongsun Zhe and the others are also in this cave.”
Qin Mo nodded, glanced at the two with indifference, and said, “I want to enter.”
The two were shocked to see Feng Kangan showing such respect to Qin Mo and carefully scrutinized him. One of them narrowed his pupils, sweeping his divine sense over, only to immediately hit a barrier, causing his entire body to shudder. His expression turned even more astonished; with his cultivation, he could not see through the strength of the figure in black before him. No wonder the owner of the Ancient Sword Manor treated him with such respect.
However, he still cupped his hands and asked, “May I know who this is?”
“Hmph.” Feng Kangan coldly snorted, “Brother Mo's identity is not something you two can know. Brother Mo has come this time to understand the anomalies in the Thunder Sea and to help our Thunder City deal with the troubles. Hurry up and make way.”
Help with troubles?
Both of them harbored faint sneers in their hearts. What help with troubles? Isn’t he here for the treasures? Although they were eager to react, they considered Feng Kangan's cultivation and status. Rong Chengji hurriedly pulled Qiu Chengshuang aside and said, “Please, gentlemen, come in!”
This time, it was Qin Mo and Feng Kangan's turn to be confused. Weren't these two guarding the entrance to prevent anyone from entering?
Qin Mo was instead not in a hurry to enter, frowning and asking, “What are you two guarding here for?”
If there were truly treasures in this cave and they were guarding the entrance, it would seem quite strange.
Rong Chengji forced a smile and said, “We were actually ordered to wait here for you all…”
Qin Mo was taken aback and frowned, “You knew we would come?”
“Actually, we didn’t know who would come, but the gentlemen said that any news of their disappearance would certainly be communicated immediately. At that time, Thunder City would send experts to come again, ranging from one or two months to half a year or even a year. It was said that someone would arrive here again. We didn’t expect it to be true. Since we have the least cultivation, we were assigned to guard here.”
“Then why don’t you go in?” Qin Mo asked, puzzled.
Rong Chengji continued explaining, “This cave is fraught with danger. Our cultivation is too low. We are here to welcome the gentlemen and to prevent weaker cultivators from intruding and causing a threat to their lives.”
