Yang Tongsan's gaze was fixed on Spay Tarré.
"We are conducting a full-scale search. There's no way she could have left the city."
"Based on the fight, it's clear she hasn't reached Martial Master-level, so escaping by flight is out of the question."
"As long as she's still in the city, we will find her!" Spay Tarré responded coldly.
"Good."
Yang Tongsan stroked his beard thoughtfully.
"Oh, by the way, Spay Tarré, did you know? The white-clad swordsman seems to have taken the silver skeleton that Yang Feng won at the auction."
"And I just received information that the woman who bid against Yang Feng at the auction was also wearing a veiled hat."
"I suspect they're the same person."
As Yang Tongsan spoke, Spay Tarré furrowed his brows.
"What does she want with the silver skeleton?"
Spay Tarré's eyes filled with confusion.
The silver skeleton was mostly a collector's item, valuable only for its aesthetic appeal.
It had no real practical use. What could she want with it?
"Do you think it's possible she's from the Silver Clan?" Yang Tongsan suggested.
"The Silver Clan?"
"That's unlikely. Weren't all of them wiped out?" Spay Tarré replied instinctively, surprised by the suggestion.
"Officially, yes, but what if some survived?"
Yang Tongsan continued.
"It's possible."
"Members of the Silver Clan are known to have their hair turn silver when their emotions reach a peak."
"And in that state, their strength increases dramatically."
"They were a powerful race, but unfortunately, it was a Martial King who eradicated them back then."
Spay Tarré added.
The Silver Clan had a few formidable warriors, but they were all killed by Martial King-level fighters.
Once those experts were dead, the entire clan was wiped out.
He himself had once captured a Silver Clan member.
"I'll have my guards continue the search. Your Yang family should contribute as well."
Spay Tarré looked at Yang Tongsan, expecting assistance.
"No problem."
Yang Tongsan smiled slightly.
Now that the sword had appeared in Spear City, he was determined to obtain it.
...
"The city's defenses have strengthened."
Lin Luoluo stood atop a mountain, gazing down at the city below.
Her eyesight was excellent, and she could clearly see that the guards stationed at various locations had increased in strength.
Additionally, the streets were filled with martial artists being questioned.
She retrieved new clothes from her storage space and changed into a different outfit, discarding the veiled hat.
It was no longer necessary.
Besides, no one had seen her face clearly.
Wearing the hat would only arouse suspicion now.
With her new appearance, Lin Luoluo decided to descend the mountain and head toward a different direction.
There's a saying: "The most dangerous place is often the safest."
Her destination was Spear City's largest slave camp.
The camp held an enormous number of slaves, and it was heavily guarded.
...
As Lin Luoluo made her way toward the slave camp, she stowed Soul Sever in her storage space and replaced it with a long saber at her waist.
"This feels like being locked in a dark room."
Ye Fan commented from within the storage space, sounding a little frustrated.
However, he was surprised to realize that despite being inside the storage space, he could still sense everything happening outside.
"Let's go."
Lin Luoluo was briefly stopped for inspection, but she was quickly let through.
The guards never suspected that Lin Luoluo would be walking openly in the streets like this.
Moreover, she didn't match the description of the person they were hunting.
The only similarity was the color of her clothing.
Additionally, they assumed that anyone being pursued wouldn't be foolish enough to wear white.
This reduced any suspicion toward her.
The slave camp was located in a valley within Spear City.
Lin Luoluo used her movement technique to leap onto the highest rock formation overlooking the valley.
"Who goes there!?"
The moment she landed, several guards noticed her presence.
Swoosh—
With a thought, Lin Luoluo summoned Soul Sever from her storage space.
As she drew the sword, she immediately activated Phantom Dance.
In an instant, the guards were cut down!
[Killed Fifth-Tier Warrior, gained 500 Evolution Points]
[Killed Fifth-Tier Warrior, gained 500 Evolution Points]
...
[Absorbed blood essence from Fifth-Tier Warrior, gained 0.5 Energy Points]
[Absorbed blood essence from Fifth-Tier Warrior, gained 0.5 Energy Points]
...
As the sword absorbed the blood essence and energy of the fallen warriors, Lin Luoluo felt the energy flow into her body.
She stared at Soul Sever, momentarily lost in thought.
Every time she killed a warrior or a beast, she would absorb their energy into the sword.
It always returned a portion of that energy back to her, enhancing her strength.
Killing allowed her to grow stronger, faster.
But she quickly dismissed the thought.
If she relied solely on killing to gain strength, she would be walking down the path of a demonic cultivator.
Standing atop the high rock, Lin Luoluo looked down at the scene below.
At the entrance of the slave camp, a large number of guards were stationed.
The leader of the camp's defense was likely a high-tier warrior as well.
She didn't know if they were at the Eighth Tier or Ninth Tier.
However, now that she had reached the Eighth Tier herself, she was confident she could handle even a Ninth-Tier opponent.
Her plan was to kill all the guards and liberate the entire slave camp.
She had to do it swiftly, before they could sound the alarm.
Lin Luoluo paused, observing the scene below. Taking a deep breath, she found her opportunity and leaped down from her perch.
"Who's there..."
One of the guards glanced up just in time to see Lin Luoluo descending toward him.
A flash of her sword cut through the air, and the guard was killed instantly.
At that moment, the other nearby guards realized what was happening and rushed to attack her.
But Lin Luoluo's reflexes were far too quick, and she swung Soul Sever in a wide arc.
Clang, clang, clang—
Their weapons, along with their bodies, were sliced in half by her blade!
"We have an intruder!"
One of the guards further away shouted, just before being consumed by a white flame that shot toward him.
