Chapter 1257: Chapter 692 Three Immortals_2 Chapter 1257: Chapter 692 Three Immortals_2 “Why are there so many people guarding the entrance to the City Lord’s Mansion? They’re packed dense, as if they don’t want anyone barging in,” Logan murmured to himself, his gaze swiftly scanning the surroundings. He saw the guards clad in uniform armor, wielding long spears, looking solemn, clearly well-trained elites. Their eyes revealed a kind of vigilance and caution, as if ready to deal with any sudden situation at any time.

“Which two powerful forces that are about to arrive could be so formidable as to cause the City Lord such fear that he has stepped up the guard?” Logan speculated quietly in his heart, but he knew that it was too late to consider these things now. Since he had already come here, he could not give up halfway.

Logan took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality. He knew the purpose of his visit was of utmost importance and could not retreat because of the guards’ obstruction. Thus, he took a firm step forward, heading towards the main gate of the City Lord’s Mansion.

His eyes were icy, and his entire body exuded a black aura, as if he were a Demon God that had emerged from the Abyss. The guards, seeing Logan’s demeanor, had their pupils violently constrict, clearly intimidated by his aura. They wanted to stop Logan but dared not act rashly.

“Who are you? What business do you have at the City Lord’s Mansion?” a guard mustered the courage to ask loudly. His voice trembled slightly, but he still tried his best to maintain composure.

Logan did not answer his question but merely swept him with a cold glance and continued walking forward. His steps were steady and forceful, as if each one treaded upon the hearts of the guards.

The guards, seeing Logan’s arrogance, couldn’t help but burn with rage. They wanted to step forward to stop him but were suppressed by the aura emanating from him, unable to move. They could only watch helplessly as Logan entered the gates of the City Lord’s Mansion, filled with helplessness and anger.

After Logan entered the City Lord’s Mansion, he found that it was not lacking in people inside. They were either standing or sitting, conversing in low voices or waiting silently. Their eyes all revealed a sense of tension and anticipation, as if they were all waiting for some significant event to happen.

When Logan appeared before them, their gaze was immediately drawn to him. They saw the black aura swirling around Logan, his presence overwhelming, and they couldn’t help but speculate about his identity and intentions.

“Who is this person? Why have we never seen him before?” someone quietly asked.

“Yes, his aura is so strong, it seems to tower over us, even though we are of similar types of beings,” another person replied.

Although they were beings of the same type, their bloodlines and lineage were inferior to Logan’s. The oppressive force emanating from him was deadly to them, making them feel the urge to prostrate. Their hearts were filled with shock and awe, as if they were witnessing something inconceivable.

At that moment, a person of seemingly high status approached and took the initiative to speak to Logan, “Who might you be, sir? What brings you to the City Lord’s Mansion? We are currently waiting for the arrival of two strong forces, and I’m afraid we cannot accommodate outsiders.”

Logan looked at him coldly, offering no answer to his question. He merely stated indifferently, “I am here to see the City Lord, to discuss a matter. As for the strong forces you are waiting for, they are of no concern to me.”

After he had finished speaking, Logan walked straight toward the direction where the City Lord was located. Witnessing Logan’s brazen demeanor, those around him couldn’t help but feel annoyed in secret. However, they also knew that Logan’s strength was unfathomable and not someone they could afford to provoke easily. Thus, they could only watch powerlessly and with resentment as Logan walked away.

When Logan arrived at the hall where the City Lord was, he found the City Lord seated at a huge round table, engaged in a low-voiced discussion with a few individuals who seemed to have important statuses. Their expressions were solemn, as if they were deliberating over some significant matter.

Logan did not interrupt them. He simply stood quietly to one side, waiting for their conversation to end. His gaze was icy and profound, looking as if he could see through everything. The dark aura emanating from his body filled the entire hall with a sense of oppression and heaviness.

Those in conversation with the City Lord, noticing the arrival of Logan, couldn’t help speculating about his identity and purpose. They knew that anyone who could walk into the City Lord’s Mansion so arrogantly and go unnoticed by the City Lord himself was certainly no ordinary being.

Eventually, the City Lord became aware of Logan’s presence. He glanced up at Logan and was inwardly shocked. He had never seen such a formidable entity before, one that seemed as if they had emerged from another world, akin to a Demon God.

He quickly adjusted his mentality and then stood up, approaching Logan. With a respectful bow, he said, “Who might you be, sir? What brings you to my abode? If there’s anything you need assistance with, please feel free to ask.”

Logan looked at him coldly and then said, “I am Logan, from a distant place. The purpose of my visit is to discuss some matters with you. As for the specifics, we can talk about that later. For now, I’d like to first understand the situation here.”

Upon hearing this, the City Lord pondered Logan’s identity and background. He knew that anyone who could converse with him so boldly was definitely not an ordinary individual. Accordingly, he responded respectfully, “At present, we’re awaiting the arrival of two powerful forces. They come from different places but both possess formidable strength and backgrounds. I do not know their purposes, but I am certain that they are not coming to cause trouble.”

Logan nodded silently upon hearing this. He knew that the arrival of these two powerful forces might be related to the purpose of his visit. Thus, he decided to first learn more about the specifics of these forces before making his next move.

“May I inquire as to where you come from, as we have not seen you before?” asked a guard clad in lavish attire, his voice filled with confusion but wary of stepping out of line. His voice echoed clearly through the spacious foyer of the City Lord’s Mansion. At the moment, the City Lord was resting in the inner chamber, and they had swiftly sent word, waiting for the City Lord to wake and personally greet this unexpected guest.

Standing in the center of the hall, Logan’s visage was stern, resembling an impregnable iceberg. His deep gaze radiated an aloofness that transcended the mundane, yet it also exerted an invisible pressure on those around him. Seeing Logan in this state, other guards and servants felt a tightness in their chests, mistaking it for anger. They promptly knelt down and paid great homage, and the sound of clothes rustling and knees hitting the ground filled the foyer.

This gesture was not unfamiliar to Logan. He remembered that when he had been in the lands ruled by the Roc Young Master and other Demon Beasts, this was the same way those mighty beings had greeted him as a sign of reverence inherent from the depths of their bloodlines–an instinctual submission of beasts to a Strong One. With this thought, a faint smile tugged at the corners of Logan’s mouth, though it did not reach his eyes.

“I have just arrived from other parts,” Logan said slowly, his voice calm and deep as if it could penetrate to the core of one’s being, “specifically from within the Ancient Barrier. I found the trick to it and managed to escape. You all must have heard about the disturbances in the Ancient Barrier, right?”

As soon as he uttered these words, the expressions of those who were still harboring doubts changed drastically. They exchanged glances, filled with shock and disbelief. Recently, the City Lord had indeed mentioned the unusual tremors within the barrier, but those were considered natural fluctuations of ancient powers; no one had ever dared to imagine that someone could escape from that legendary Ancient Barrier said to imprison countless mighty beings.
