Sword Emperor

3It had been half a month since Sun Bing started his seclusion. When he opened his eyes, he could finally see what was happening in the guest room. A bitter smile emerged on his face. He had never thought that he would be in such a sorry state.     1

    

There was almost no extra furniture in sight. He could only see piles of debris on the ground. There were even some pieces of furniture that had been completely burnt, leaving only the rest. All in all, it had been a mess for a long time.    

    

One had to know that although some of the furniture was not considered precious, they were made from wood that was quite difficult to destroy. Now that they had become like this, one could imagine what kind of attack they had suffered earlier.    

    

Although Sun Bing still had some lingering fear when he thought of the suffering he had gone through previously, it should be known that this kind of enlightenment was extremely dangerous. After experiencing so many trials and tribulations, even the slightest carelessness would cause the spiritual soul to completely immerse itself in it, causing it to collapse.    

    

However, the final harvest was still quite surprising. At least, Sun Bing had gained a considerable understanding of the Profound Truths of Gale, Profound Meaning of Ice, and Fire. Furthermore, the sword technique that originally contained flaws had now undergone a significant transformation. Without a doubt, it had become even stronger.    

    

Taking this opportunity, Sun Bing had finally used all of the insights he had gained during the flower viewing ceremony perfectly. Currently, his strength had been raised to the maximum. It could be said that his strength had increased tremendously, allowing him to deal with any danger with ease.    

    

Just as Sun Bing's mind was filled with thoughts, a series of footsteps sounded from outside the door. Very quickly, a familiar voice emerged, "Brother Sun, have you come out of seclusion?"    

    

Mu Hua's voice brought Sun Bing back to his senses. Without hesitation, he immediately opened the formation in the inn. When he opened the door, he could see Mu Hua standing in front of the door. They hadn't seen each other for half a month. Although his appearance hadn't changed at all, the temperament of his body had obviously changed.    

    

His expression had become even deeper. The most shocking thing was that Sun Bing had a sense of danger from his body. Obviously, Mu Hua's strength had improved tremendously during this period of seclusion.    

    

Immediately, the corner of Sun Bing's mouth revealed a slight smile. "It seems like you have gained a lot from this seclusion. I think you should have the confidence to defeat Son of God in the upcoming competition."    

    

Mu Hua didn't have too much pride at the moment. He glanced at Sun Bing and laughed at himself instead. "No matter how great your improvement is... Your harvest will surely be higher than mine. I didn't expect you to go into seclusion once. The gap between the two of us has become even bigger. "    

    

Regarding this, Sun Bing didn't respond because the two of them had already completed their seclusion. They could then make preparations to leave this place. After all, no matter how safe the black market was, there was still a risk of being exposed.    

    

Immediately, the two of them walked out together. Along the way, they paid for the guest room fees. Because all the furniture had been damaged, Sun Bing even gave some compensation. However, to him, it wasn't much. After doing all of this, the two of them immediately walked out of the inn.    

    

This could be said to be the first time the two of them walked out of the inn in half a month's time. As soon as they stepped out, their faces revealed obvious shock, because there were too many people in front of them. It was several times more than the number of people who had just arrived.    

    

Each of them had a terrifying cultivation base. It was almost impossible to see any cultivators below the Fifth Level of the Life and Death Stage. Even if there were, they were still young geniuses who could jump realms to challenge them.    

    

Therefore, when they casually looked at the scene in front of them, Sun Bing and Mu Hua had a bad feeling in their hearts. Even though the number of people in the black market was huge, it was impossible for it to increase so much in an instant. There must be something wrong with this.    

    

And the last possible goal of these people was to find him and Mu Hua.    

    

However, these two people were not ordinary people after all. Therefore, their expressions returned to normal in an instant. Their footsteps, which were about to leave, stopped completely. They walked directly to a table in a remote corner of the inn and casually served a few dishes. They quietly listened to the conversations of the people around them.    

    

"Where do you think Sun Bing and Mu Hua are hiding in the black market? It has been so long, there is no sign of them. If it wasn't for Tianji telling me that the two of them are still in the black market, I would even suspect that they had run away."    

    

"These two are truly powerful. Despite being surrounded by so many people, they were still able to persist for such a long time. This is truly admirable."    

    

"Even if that's the case, so what? They are just like a defeated dog. As long as they reveal any signs of weakness, they will definitely be discovered immediately. "    

    

"Alright, alright. We just need to wait quietly for these things to happen. One day, we will be discovered. According to what I know, the black market seems to have specially organized an auction to welcome so many people who have suddenly poured into it. It is rumored that every item inside is extremely precious and has attracted the attention of many people."    

    

"I didn't expect the black market to hold an auction for this. It's a grand occasion that only happens once every hundred years. I thought I would like to see it in a few decades, but I can't miss it this time."    

    

“...”    

    

The conversation between the guests in the inn quickly made Sun Bing and Mu Hua understand the current situation. After getting this news, although Sun Bing's expression didn't change, his heart was filled with waves.    

    

He never thought that these people would send out capable people to derive the Divination Art in order to find the two of them. He truly admired their determination.    

    

One had to know that it was extremely difficult to deduce the secrets of the heavens. There was only one in ten thousand people who could do so. Even revealing the secrets of the heavens would cost one's own life. As such, the fee was quite high. However, these people did it just like that. Even Sun Bing felt helpless.    

    

However, this couldn't be blamed on these people. The value of Sun Bing was just too great. Even if the cost of deducing the Divination Art was astonishing, as long as they could obtain one of Sun Bing's treasures, it would only be a drop in the ocean.    

    

"Brother Sun, I think you already know about the current situation. What should we do now?" While Sun Bing was pondering, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his mind.    

    

He raised his head and saw Mu Hua's brows slowly furrowing. It was the sound transmission using the spiritual soul. This question had caused Sun Bing to fall into deep thought, and his heart was in a dilemma.    

    

However, very quickly, Sun Bing made a decision and immediately replied, "We can't act rashly at this moment. Since the other party has already deduced the Divination Art, as long as we leave, they will definitely be able to discover our tracks at the first possible moment.    

    

Furthermore, everyone in the Nandou Nation was gathering here. There were very few people leaving. It would definitely attract the attention of others and increase the risk of being exposed.    

    

Instead, they stayed in the black market. At this moment, the crowd was so huge. This was our natural protective umbrella. It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens for them to find us.    

    

Not to mention... Let's take this opportunity to participate in this auction. If possible, we'll be able to bid for some things. If we leave now, we'll be able to conceal some of our true intentions and kill two birds with one stone."    

    

After Sun Bing finished speaking, he noticed that Mu Hua was slowly nodding his head. Indeed, leaving at this moment was too eye-catching. Even if it was a disguise, it was very likely that others would be able to guess that it was the two of them.    

    

Therefore, Mu Hua didn't hesitate too much and slowly nodded his head. "If that's the case, let's rest for a few more days. I believe that there will be a new turn of events at that time."    

    

The two of them did not say anything else. Instead, they listened to some of the information exposed in the conversations of others. Although it might just be the other party's unintentional words, they were able to distinguish some information from it.    

    

However, the more Sun Bing understood about this information, the more shocked he felt in his heart. Only at this moment did he truly feel that he had really fallen into a situation where everyone in the world was his enemy.    

    

It wasn't just the Humans that had many people who wanted to kill someone and seize their treasures. Ancient Clans's side was also eyeing them covetously. There were even rumors that Son of God had actually transformed into his clone and entered the black market in order to find Sun Bing.
