“This is a good method. Facing the protection of a Silver Rank, even if the shapeshifter was given ten thousand guts, he would not dare to make a move.” The sheriff nodded in agreement, feeling that this method was very good.
“Yes, the strength of a Silver Rankis very terrifying. Although they are unable to see the Shapeshifter’s transformation, they can easily find people who are filled with hostility…”
“Therefore, if the Shapeshifter dares to attack my daughter, then he will definitely die,” the city lord affirmed.
“It is indeed a good method. It is better for the city lord to be more considerate.” The sheriff flattered him.
“It is a pity that the Shapeshifter is still alive. He is still a scourge. If only someone could kill him. It is a pity that no one has been able to do so until now.”
The Golden Claw City Lord shook his head helplessly. He led the security officer towards the residential area and soon arrived at the entrance of a small courtyard.
“Is this the place?” The city lord looked at the sheriff.
“Yes. According to the investigation, Lord Li Xuan lives here,” the sheriff hurriedly said.
“Okay, knock on the door.”
“It’s the city lord!”
The security officer nodded. He was about to raise his hand to knock on the door when the door suddenly opened.
“Come in. Lord Li Xuan has been waiting for you for a long time.” Xue’er opened the door and said in a crisp voice.
“Waiting for us for a long time? Lord Li Xuan knows that we are coming?” The city lord was shocked.
“Yes. With the difficulties that the Golden Claw City is facing now, besides Lord Li Xuan, who else can solve it?” Xue’er said with some pride.
“I didn’t expect that Lord Li Xuan had already seen through it. I’m really ashamed.”
The city lord smiled bitterly, but in his heart, he was shocked at Li Xuan’s intelligence. This was because he had come into contact with a Silver Rank expert before, but that silver-rank expert only kept cultivating. He did not even understand the ways of the world.
However, Li Xuan had just entered the city for such a short period of time, yet he was able to easily see through everything. In comparison, the gap between the two was obvious.
Thus, the city lord’s attitude was even more humble. Carrying heavy gifts, he carefully walked into the small courtyard and entered the reception hall.
“Greetings, Lord Li Xuan.”
Although the Golden Claw City Lord was the city lord, he did not dare to offend Li Xuan. Instead, he respectfully bowed.
“Mmhm, I can help you solve your problem, but it depends on your sincerity.” Li Xuan was too lazy to be polite and directly asked.
“Uh…”
The Golden Claw City Lord was also a little dazed by the sudden question. He felt that Li Xuan was a little unconventional. However, this was also good. By being direct, everyone could relax.
Therefore, the Golden Claw City Lord said solemnly, “Don’t worry, my lord. I have brought something that you need the most.”
After the city lord finished speaking, he hurriedly took a few boxes from the guards behind him and opened them.
Most of the boxes were ordinary items. There were even gold, silver, and jewelry. However, when the last item was opened, Li Xuan raised his eyebrows.
“Lord Li Xuan, I heard that you like essence. It just so happens that I have one here. This is the reward I received when I followed the blind granny.”
After the Golden Claw City Lord finished speaking, he raised the item up high.
After Xue’er received Li Xuan’s instructions, she hurriedly took the box and carefully placed it on the table beside Li Xuan.
“That’s right. Although the Nature-Type Essence isn’t of use for the time being, it’s still a good item. I’ll take it…”
“Leave the other Spatial Stones behind and keep the rest.”
Li Xuan looked at the Spatial Stone. This was a good item to upgrade one’s Portable Space.
For a skill like Portable Space, the upgrade did not depend on the essence, but on Spatial Stones. The more Spatial Stones one consumed, the larger the space would expand.
As long as one consumed them for a long period of time, they might be able to upgrade the space to the size of a country. Of course, there was still a long way to go. They still needed to work hard.
“Yes, my lord.”
The Golden Claw City Lord hurriedly handed over the Spatial Stones and continued.
“My lord, that Shapeshifter is mysterious and hard to find. I hope that you can protect my daughter for a period of time. What do you think?”
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. You can just go to the cellar in the backyard and take a look. Go.”
Li Xuan waved his hand and started to take the Spatial Stones to expand his Portable Space.
“Yes!”
The Golden Claw City Lord and the sheriff were at a loss when they heard Li Xuan’s words. However, an absurd thought appeared in their minds.
With this thought in mind, they hurriedly ran to the backyard and nervously walked towards the cellar.
“Sir, could it be that the Shapeshifter has already been captured by Lord Li Xuan?” The sheriff said in disbelief.
“It should be. Otherwise, Lord Li Xuan wouldn’t have allowed us to come to the cellar in the backyard.” The Golden Claw City Lord was also somewhat shocked.
“However, even the sword saint couldn’t capture the Shapeshifter, yet Lord Li Xuan was actually able to capture it. This… This is too unbelievable.”
The sheriff was still feeling shocked and somewhat in disbelief.
“We’ll know once we take a look.”
The Golden Claw City Lord came to the entrance of the cellar and looked inside. He happened to see a person who was unconscious in the cellar, and this person was actually the female examiner.
“Eh? Why Is it her? Is she a Shapeshifter?” The city lord frowned.
“No… it can’t be. She was just testing the person who entered the city with me. How could it be her?” The sheriff could not believe it either, and his eyes were wide open.
Puff!
A sharp spike suddenly rose from the ground and pierced through the right arm of the female examiner. Blood instantly gushed out.
“Ahhh!”
The screams echoed throughout the area. Although the voice tried to imitate the female voice, it could not help but be mixed with the male voice.
Hearing the male voice, the expressions of the city lord and the sheriff changed. They jumped into the cellar and grabbed the female examiner. They started to check the position where the face and hair touched.
“It’s the transformation tattoo, it’s him! He’s the Shapeshifter!” The sheriff discovered a very small transformation tattoo and immediately shouted.
“Damn it! How did you become the examiner? Did you kill her?” Killing intent flashed in the eyes of the Golden Claw City Lord.
“Of course, right under your noses, I took her away and tortured her to death bit by bit. You two idiots didn’t even notice…”
“If it wasn’t for the Silver Rank, you would never have found me, ever!”
The female examiner opened her eyes and glared at the city lord and the sheriff. Her eyes were bloodshot.
The female examiner’s body also changed at this moment, from a woman to a sinister man.
“Damn it! I’ll tear you apart in front of everyone!”
The Golden Claw City Lord roared in anger. He did not expect the Shapeshifter to be so close to them. If the shapeshifter made a move in advance, then his daughter would be finished.
Thinking of his daughter’s possible accident, the Golden Claw City Lord felt a lingering fear. At the same time, he also felt deep anger toward the Shapeshifter.
“Go, bring him to the center of the city. I want to tear him apart in front of everyone!” The Golden Claw City Lord shouted.
“Yes, city lord!”
The sheriff picked up the Shapeshifter and walked out amidst the fresh blood.
The city lord originally wanted to continue to express his gratitude to Li Xuan, but he suddenly saw that Li Xuan had already walked far away with Xue’er, heading out of the city.
“Thank you, Lord Li Xuan. I will never forget your achievements!”
The Golden Claw City Lord bowed deeply and then came to the center of the city. He gathered everyone and dismembered the Shapeshifter in front of everyone.
After doing all this, the city lord recorded Li Xuan’s achievements and sent it to the blind granny.
Dark Forest.
On a dark and gloomy path…
A blind old woman was walking step by step with a dragon-headed walking stick. Beside her was a handsome man dressed in white and holding a three-foot-long sword.
These two people were none other than the blind granny and the sword saint.
“I heard that another Silver Rank has appeared recently. It’s a very small person. It seems to be related to the summoning of that clan,” the blind granny said in a hoarse voice.
“Yes, his name is Li Xuan. He can capture 200 Pollution Giants. His strength is not bad.” The sword saint smiled faintly and walked forward calmly.
“Hmm, do you think it’s possible for his combat strength to surpass yours?” the blind granny said in a hoarse voice again.
“Impossible. There’s a huge gap between Silver Rank warriors. I walk in the path of the sword, which is also the path of the sword with the strongest offensive power. In Silver Rank, no one can surpass me except for you.”
The sword saint smiled faintly, his entire body exuding absolute confidence.
“Your combat power is indeed very strong. It’s indeed somewhat difficult for him to surpass you.”
Granny blind nodded her head in agreement, feeling that what the sword saint said made sense.
However, at this moment, the ring on her hand lit up. This was a communication and transmission ring.. It could send messages over long distances.
