Chapter 465: Discussion With The Corpse Lord

Inside the City Lord's manor, an aged figure dressed in gray robes was cultivating with his eyes shut tight. His face was covered in sweat, but he remained unmoved in the exact same spot. Suddenly, his eyes sprung open and there was a look of surprise in his aged eyes as he used his spiritual perception to stare at the situation outside the manor.

"A True God Realm spirit force practitioner! How rare!" The old man muttered with a bit of shock in his tone. He was also a True God Realm expert, but he was a body strengthening practitioner. He might be stronger than most ordinary experts, but his strength was considered nothing on the grand scale. In the eyes of true powerhouses, he was only a slightly bigger bug!

The old man dusted his gray robes after rising to his feet. He then came out of the manor to greet this unexpected guest. When he looked at the visitor, he was stunned when he saw his youthful figure. His aura also seemed to be vigorous, a clear sign that this person had a stable foundation. The eyes of the old man turned serious upon discovering this.

The guards became nervous when they saw the old man walking toward them.

"City Lord!" They greeted the old man in unison.

Jiu Shen sized up the old man from head to foot. He noticed that the old man had a strong physique despite his old age. From this, Jiu Shen concluded that this guy was a body strengthening expert.

"You must be the City Lord of Hard Rock City..." Jiu Shen muttered in a calm voice while looking at the old man's face. This guy had a pair of triangular eyes and his face was covered in wrinkles. The old man's skin was dark red in color, but there was a pale hue to it.

The old man wasn't used to this casual attitude since he had become the City Lord of Hard Rock City, but he still put on a smile as he nodded his head at Jiu Shen. "I am indeed the City Lord of Hard Rock City. Most people also call me Corpse Lord..." He was a bit proud of himself as he introduced himself briefly. Most of the experts he had encountered would feel a bit fearful if they heard his nickname, but this human seemed to be strangely calm even after hearing it. The Corpse Lord felt a bit unnerved by his calmness, but he didn't show it on his face.

"I have something to discuss with you, Mr. Corpse Lord. I hope you don't mind my abrupt visit." Jiu Shen said with an indifferent tone. This old man was already close to his twilight years and if he didn't breakthrough into the next realm, his life would come to an end. This type of person wouldn't cause trouble for Jiu Shen.

Corpse Lord furrowed his eyebrows slightly upon hearing Jiu Shen's words. He was also wary about this human's objectives. He had already experienced countless assassination attempts throughout the years, so he had grown suspicious of every individual he come across. However, the opponent this time was strong or even stronger than him. It was better to remain cautious when facing someone like this...

"This isn't a good place to talk. Come! I will take you to my study." Corpse Lord smiled and gestured at Jiu Shen invitingly. He had his reasons for inviting Jiu Shen to his study. There was a Protective Array Formation there that could trap a True God Realm expert! He was confident that he could trap Jiu Shen if he activated the inscriptions of the Array Formation!

Jiu Shen glanced at the old man for a moment. This deep glance almost made the old man feel that Jiu Shen has seen through his plans, but he heaved a sigh of relief when Jiu Shen nodded his head.

"Alright. Lead the way." Jiu Shen answered calmly. Whatever this old man had in his mind, Jiu Shen was confident that he could escape from it. If there was really something unexpected, he could just take out the terrifying poison he had in him!

Corpse Lord's smile became wider when he heard Jiu Shen's words. He then led him inside his manor. Not long later, they arrived inside a room with several rows of bookshelves. There was a table with two wooden chairs sitting at the center of the room.

Corpse Lord gestured for Jiu Shen to sit down. "Please take a seat, my friend." He said with a friendly smile.

Jiu Shen looked at the chair with disdain. He then took out his own chair from his space earring.

This move made the Corpse Lord a bit speechless. He also wondered if Jiu Shen discovered the Array Formation inside the room.

Seeing Jiu Shen's impatient look, the old man sat down and asked. "Before we discuss anything, can you tell me your name?"

"Jiu Shen..."

The brief reply made the old man feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Mr. Jiu Shen, what do you want to discuss with me?" The Corpse Lord hid the dissatisfaction in his heart and went straight to the topic. He wanted to see what this Jiu Shen want to discuss with him. If this human wanted him to do something too drastic, then he would have to silence him here forever and get his treasures!

Jiu Shen tapped the table rhythmically and replied. "I've come here with a huge group of people. We've lost our territory because of a great war up north. We had no choice but to abandon our territory. I hope that you can allow us to build a building in this location." Jiu Shen took out a map he bought in the city and pointed at the area where the Heavenly Sword Tower was temporarily camped.

The Corpse Lord glanced at the map. The location where Jiu Shen was pointing was the old territory of the late Blue Wave Sect. It had a prime location when the ocean was still present, but it had become a land of desolation now. However, he didn't want to agree right away especially after hearing that Jiu Shen came with a group!
