Chapter 241: Spreading Rumors (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Someone with stronger cultivation had to partic.i.p.ate in this matter.

After some thought, Xiao Shi gradually had an idea.

That day, he quietly left Bixin City. He arrived at the other cities near Bixin City and began to spread a message in them.

“Recently, the city gate of Bixin City has been closed tightly, not allowing anyone inside to leave or enter. It’s said that the Heavenly Mystery Box has appeared in the city!”

Xiao Shi quickly spread the news. When this news was released, it immediately caused a huge commotion around Bixin City.

The words “Heavenly Mystery Box” were like a heavy bomb in the current Tiandou Province. It shocked countless experts. In fact, many experts who came to Tiandou Province, apart from wanting to find the Heavenly Mystery Palace’s Palace Master, also had a trace of fantasy about the Heavenly Mystery Box.

Now that the Heavenly Mystery Palace had reappeared, the Heavenly Mystery Box would definitely appear. If they could obtain a Heavenly Mystery Box… they would be rich!

Therefore, after hearing the news of the Heavenly Mystery Box, the experts around Bixin City could not remain calm.

Baiyang City was a city not far from Bixin City. Its scale was comparable to Bixin City, but the faction under Baiyang City was not the Swift Shadow Palace, but the Heaven Scar Pavilion. But now, under the control of those experts who had arrived, be it the Swift Shadow Palace or the Heaven Scar Pavilion, they could not affect these cities.

The one occupying Baiyang City was a burly Martial Soul Realm expert with long golden eyebrows. “Heavenly Mystery Box?” When he heard that the Heavenly Mystery Box had appeared in Bixin City, his brows furrowed tightly. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

After some thought, a grayish-black skull appeared in his hand. After he held the skull, he immediately sent a voice transmission through the skull. “Recently, there have been rumors outside that a Heavenly Mystery Box has appeared in your Bixin City. I wonder if it’s true?”

In Bixin City, the original City Lord Residence in the main district had already turned into a black swamp. This swamp was very strange. Many figures floated above the swamp. These figures seemed to be in an illusory form. Their eyes were closed as they stood on the swamp.

If Xiao Shi was here, he would definitely be able to recognize at a glance that Guo Chengdao and the people from the Red Tiger Sect were among these illusory figures. In the center of the swamp was a huge black vortex.

In the vortex was a sinister demon sword that emitted an evil aura! At the same time, there were also long black rocks rising from the swamp. In the distance, the light of dusk shone on the water, causing the area to be dyed yellow. It also became yellow.

There was also a figure sitting cross-legged on a rock. This was an old man wearing tattered linen clothes. His hair was tied into many small braids, and even his beard was tied into small braids. The braids on his body were like small snakes, giving off a chilling feeling.

Powerful Martial Soul Realm fluctuations continuously spread out from his body.

Buzz!

The old man suddenly felt something vibrating in his bag. He immediately flipped his hand and took out a grayish-black skull from his storage bag. A voice came from the skull. “Recently, there have been rumors outside that a Heavenly Mystery Box has appeared in your Bixin City. I wonder if it’s true?”

The old man’s gaze immediately became sharp. His expression instantly darkened. “When did it start spreading?! Who spread it??” He asked in a low voice.

“It started spreading about a day ago. As for who spread it, we can’t find out for the time being. Could it be that the rumors are true?” The Martial Soul Realm expert in Baiyang City asked.

“Ridiculous! If the Heavenly Mystery Box really appeared in Bixin City, why would I let this news spread? Someone is clearly trying to harm me!!” The Martial Soul Realm old man in Bixin City said angrily.

Once this news spread, what kind of situation would he face? With the attractiveness of the Heavenly Mystery Box, it would definitely attract many experts. Now, his Soul Artifact upgrade had reached the most critical and important moment. If he attracted many experts at this time, all his previous efforts would definitely be wasted!

“d.a.m.n it!! Who exactly wants to harm me!!” The Martial Soul Realm old man in Bixin City was already completely anxious. He had never expected such news to actually spread at such a critical moment. “Gong Li, quickly help me clarify the rumors and prevent them from continuing to spread. Also, help me find the person who spread the rumors. I will definitely reward you heavily after this!” The Martial Soul Realm old man in Bixin City said anxiously.

He knew the urgent matter at hand was to prevent the rumors from spreading. Once the rumors spread, even if it was fake, it would attract countless experts to Bixin City. And this place couldn’t see the light of day here!

Once these experts were attracted, his ident.i.ty as a demonic faction would be exposed.

Even though many experts in Tiandou Province were focused on the search for the Palace Master of the Heavenly Mystery Palace, it was impossible for them to sit back and do nothing if they rashly saw a person from a demonic faction like him.

They would definitely kill him along the way.

No matter what, he had to prevent this from happening. He immediately offered many benefits and asked the Martial Soul Realm expert in Baiyang City, Gong Li, to help.

Gonh Li’s heart skipped a beat. Although he was from an orthodox faction, he had always secretly communicated with the Martial Soul Realm old man in Bixin City. He clearly knew the other party’s true motive for sealing off Bixin City.

He knew from the beginning that this rumor was most likely fake.

This time, he had specially contacted the Martial Soul Realm old man in Bixin City. On the one hand, he wanted to test him. On the other hand, he also had the intention to use this opportunity to obtain benefits from the old man in Bixin City.

He knew that under the circ.u.mstances, only he could help him. The other party would definitely offer him many benefits to help. Everything was as he had expected.

After Gong Li extorted a sum from the Martial Soul Realm old man in Bixin City, he also followed his promise and began to help the other party resolve the crisis. Now that the rumors had already spread, if he used ordinary methods, he would definitely not be able to stop the rumors from spreading. If he wanted to stop the rumors, he had to verify them in front of everyone.

Therefore, he had already thought of a way.

That day, Gong Li announced to the public that the rumors about the Heavenly Mystery Box appearing in Bixin City were fake. He would personally go to Bixin City and verify this in front of everyone.

Everyone’s gazes were focused on Gong Li. They all wanted to know how Gong Li could verify the rumors about the Heavenly Mystery Box.

At this moment, Gong Li had already entered Bixin City. Before this, he had already discussed a countermeasure with the Martial Soul Realm old man in Bixin City. The other party allowed him to enter Bixin City.

Gong Li stood on a flying shuttle and floated in the sky above Bixin City. There were many people gathered outside Bixin City. Even the experts from the surrounding cities and factions had arrived. They all looked at Gong Li floating in the sky above Bixin City.

Under the attention of everyone, Gong Li looked around at everyone. He said, “Everyone, I believe you already know the rumors about the Heavenly Mystery Box appearing in Bixin City recently. Today, I’ll prove to you that this rumor is nonsense!”

As he spoke, he flipped his hand and took out a mirror.

“This mirror of mine was opened by an expert with the Heavenly Mystery Box back then. It’s tainted with the aura of the Heavenly Mystery Box. If the Heavenly Mystery Box exists in this Bixin City, it will definitely emit light. If there’s nothing, it proves that the rumors of the Heavenly Mystery Box existing in Bixin City are a joke. Now, please bear witness with me!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gong Li raised the mirror in his hand high so that everyone could see it clearly..
