Gu Yuan found a secret room and began to practice his fifth-level spiritual skill, the Flame Palm. At the same time, he consolidated his cultivation and thought about how he could combine his skills to unleash greater power.
Chi Yuer watched Gu Yuan leave and couldn't help but smile, but there was a hint of reluctance and regret in her eyes.
"If I tell you that I'm leaving soon, will you be reluctant to let me go?" Chi Yuer murmured.
Slightly dazed, Chi Yuer shook his head, then frowned.
"A mere Spirit King, do you dare to cause trouble?"
Chi Yuer was really angry this time because she felt the breath of a Spirit King approaching here again.
A moment later, a figure appeared in the room. The figure seemed very nervous and shouted loudly as soon as he came in: "Old Man Hammer, are you there? Are you okay?"
"Um?"
Chi Yuer was slightly stunned. Looking at this person, he didn't seem to be here to cause trouble.
"Who are you, old man?" Chi Yuer restrained his breath and looked at the visitor and asked.
The person who came was Long Wu!
"This girl looks unfamiliar. I wonder what you are doing here? Where are Old Man Hammer and that girl Xiao Ba?"
Long Wu looked around at everything in the room, trying to find the figure of the Hammer King.
"Are you a friend of Senior Hammer King?" Chi Yuer asked.
"Girl, I'm Long Wu from the Blood Merchant Guild. I've been friends with Old Man Hammer for many years. Tell me quickly, where is Old Man Hammer? Why can't I see him?"
Long Wu looked at Chi Yuer and asked nervously.
Chi Yuer suddenly didn't know what to say.
It turns out that he is a friend of Senior Hammer Emperor.
Chi Yuer sighed, said nothing, and just shook his head.
"Girl, what do you mean? Where is the old man Hammer?"
As he spoke, Long Wu became anxious and walked directly past Chi Yuer and headed inside.
"Senior Hammer Emperor has left!" Chi Yuer suddenly said.
Long Wu suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Chi Yu'er, and asked, "Gone? What do you mean gone? Where did he go?"
Chi Yu'er didn't say anything because she didn't know how to tell this person that the Hammer King had fallen.
“Could it be…could it be…”
A sense of foreboding suddenly arose in Long Wu's heart.
He looked at the silent Chi Yu'er worriedly, and his face gradually turned pale.
Long Wu closed his eyes in some pain, his body trembling as he asked, "Girl, tell me, did he... die?!"
Chi Yuer looked at Long Wu's painful expression and felt a little sorry for him, but she still said, "Yes!"
“Cough cough cough…”
After getting Chi Yuer's affirmation, Long Wu suddenly had a violent cough and his body trembled even more violently.
"When did this happen?" Long Wu squatted down slowly, without any of the aura that a Spirit King should have.
"Just two hours ago." Chi Yuer replied.
"Where's Xiaoba? Where did that girl go?"
Chi Yuer said, "Xiao Ba took the Hammer Emperor away. She said she was going to bury Senior Hammer Emperor and would be back in seven days."
"Why? Why is this happening?!"
Long Wu looked at Chi Yu'er and said, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
"I'm Xiaoba's friend. I'm here to help her guard the black market." Chi Yuer said.
"Is it because of the battle that day?" Long Wu suddenly asked.
"Yes!" Chi Yuer nodded in confirmation.
The expression on Long Wu's face became even more painful.
He and Old Man Hammer had known each other for more than twenty years, and they could be said to be the best friends in this Stone City. He didn't expect that today, the Spirit King would pass away before him.
"I was wondering why I felt a vague uneasiness that day. So that's why!"
Long Wu's voice was trembling violently. In fact, he had already thought of this possibility in his mind, but why could it be true!
"Old sir, please accept my condolences. Senior Hammer Emperor died fighting for the human race. It is an honor to die!" Chi Yuer stepped forward to comfort him.
"Did Old Man Hammer say anything before he left?" Long Wu asked, standing up.
Chi Yu'er looked into Long Wu's eyes. This old man, who had lived for a long time, actually had slightly red eyes at this moment. Apart from this kind of thing, there was probably nothing else that could make this old man become like this...
"Senior Hammer Emperor didn't feel any pain when he passed away, nor did he say anything."
After thinking about it, Chi Yuer said.
"Hahaha! I knew this old guy was so carefree! Even after death, he's still so carefree!"
Long Wu forced a smile and said, "Miss, has Old Man Hammer explained the arrangements for the black market?"
Chi Yuer said, "This black market should probably be handed over to Xiao Ba."
Long Wu nodded and said, "Yes, but Xiao Ba is still young and has no cultivation. Those guys in the Elders Council are not easy to deal with. When Xiao Ba comes back, you can ask her to come to me. I can help her temporarily hold on to the situation. Sigh! This girl is really suffering!"
Chi Yuer was slightly stunned. Xiao Ba doesn’t have any cultivation?
Seeing Long Wu's serious look, Chi Yuer guessed something. It seemed that Xiao Ba had concealed his cultivation from many people!
In this case, Chi Yuer did not explain and simply said, "Okay, old sir, thank you very much!"
"Hey! Old man Hammer, old man Hammer, why do you have to leave first? Didn't we agree that you can leave after me?"
Long Wu looked at everything in the room, and a sense of sadness arose in his heart. In this Stone City, the Blood Chamber of Commerce relied entirely on him to intimidate people from behind the scenes, and he had no friends. Old Man Hammer was one of them, but he left just like that. Long Wu couldn't help feeling lonely in his heart.
After Long Wu left, the space around Chi Yuer twisted, and Tian Bo's figure appeared beside Chi Yuer.
"Miss, there is news from the capital of the Shuihan Empire."
As soon as Tian Bo appeared, he said to Chi Yuer.
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Chi Yuer waved his hands and set up a barrier in the surrounding space, completely shielding himself.
"There seem to be some unusual discoveries in the imperial capital. We haven't figured out what's going on yet, and the people there are investigating. Also, Shui Ninghan has returned to the Shuihan Empire."
"He went back?"
Chi Yu'er frowned and said, "Didn't the sect say that he can only return after he breaks through to the Spirit King level?"
"Miss, Shui Ninghan's talent is truly terrifying. In less than a year, he has already come out of seclusion and has successfully advanced to the Spirit King!" Tian Bo said.
"Oh? So soon?"
Even Chi Yu'er couldn't help but be surprised.
Shui Ninghan, the second prince of the Shuihan Empire, and Shui Ningye are brothers from the same mother. They were directly accepted as disciples by the Holy Sect a year ago.
"Is there anything else important? Tell me everything." Chi Yuer said.
