Chapter 759: Chapter 747: The Mysteriously Disappeared City Lord

Outside the East City Gate of Guangsheng City, behind the chaotic throng, stood a procession of more than a thousand soldiers in silver battle armor. They radiated a silvery sheen from head to toe.

The expressions of these Silver-armored Soldiers were solemn, and an aura of deadly seriousness surged from them. One could tell at a glance that these were elite battle soldiers.

The two middle-aged soldiers leading the way shouted angrily at the crowd in front of the city gate.

Under the shouts of these two middle-aged soldiers, the crowd began to retreat to the sides, daring not to block the path of this army.

Everyone from Guangsheng City knew that this Silver-armored Army belonged to the person with the highest authority in Guangsheng City, and any one of the Silver-armored Soldiers had the power to take life or spare it within Guangsheng City!

If one angered these Silver-armored Soldiers, they could draw their Double-handed Great Swords and slay these common citizens, and it would be but a lawful killing.

The disordered crowd quickly moved aside under the imposing presence of those Silver-armored Soldiers, and even Shi Feng, who had stayed put, was pushed to the side by the throng.

The passageway leading into the city at the city gate was suddenly empty. No one dared face the sharp edge of the Silver-armored Battle Soldiers in Guangsheng City!

Angering any one of them could result in not just one’s own death but potentially the annihilation of one’s entire family, or even the Nine Clans!

Following the clearing of the road, the procession of thousands of Silver-armored Battle Soldiers began to march into the city magnificently.

The dazzling silver light shining from their armor dazzled the eyes of the civilians standing on either side of the road!

"Silver-armored Soldiers! Such an honorable status! If only I could become one of them! How wonderful that would be!" exclaimed a young voice among the crowd.

Shi Feng turned to see the source of the voice and saw it was the same young man who had previously guided him here.

The young man also turned around, and upon making eye contact with Shi Feng, he began to introduce, "This Silver-armored Army is our absolute pride in Guangsheng.

Each of their soldiers has survived countless battles. To don such silver armor, their Martial Arts Realms must be at least at the Realm of Martial King!

Years ago, when tens of thousands of demon beasts besieged Guangsheng City, it was this Silver-armored Army who, with their weapons, bravery, and strength, drove away the ferocious demon beasts, securing peace for Guangsheng City!"

The young man looked at the grand entrance of the Silver-armored Army into the city with envy, admiration, and longing in his gaze.

It was clear from his look that he also wished to become one of them!

As the Silver-armored Soldiers continued to enter the city, suddenly, at the center of the troop, there appeared a man wearing golden battle armor, towering and imposing, dignified, riding a golden fire ox.

Following this, the young man pointed to the man in golden armor and said to Shi Feng, "Look! That person must be the new Lord of Guangsheng City!"

"The new City Lord?" Shi Feng murmured to himself.

"Oh!" The young man beside Shi Feng heard his murmur and revealed a look of sudden realization and said, "I almost forgot, you are from abroad! You wouldn’t know what has happened here recently!"

After a pause, the young man continued, speaking:

"Ever since seven years ago, when the City Lord of our Guangsheng City mysteriously disappeared without a trace, and then again three years ago another City Lord vanished under unknown circumstances, the most recent City Lord also disappeared inexplicably ten days ago."

"Seven years ago! City Lord! Suddenly disappeared!" When Shi Feng heard these three terms, he was startled.

His third disciple, Leng Aoyue, was the Lord of the North Domain’s Heavenly Desolation City and had also suddenly disappeared seven years ago!

Could there be a connection?

Otherwise, such a coincidence would be too strange!

"Regarding the disappearing City Lords over the years, have people discovered any clues?" Shi Feng asked the young man.

"This! This we ordinary folks really have no idea!" The young man shook his head in response.

Then, his eyes lit up as he looked towards a man riding a Single-Horned Silver Horse at the rear of the troop. Pointing at the man, the young man said, "He is Li Xing, the Great Commander of our Guangsheng City! He has been the Great Commander for eleven years now. If the City Lord has disappeared and there were any clues, he would probably know."

Suddenly, the young man shook his head again and laughed, "Hehe! It seems we care a bit too much about such matters. What does it have to do with us ordinary folks?

The disappearance of three City Lords – we ordinary folks still eat when we need to eat, sleep when we need to sleep, brag when we need to brag. Right?"

"Eh, where is he?" The young man, laughing and talking, turned to look at the young man next to him, only to find a middle-aged strong man now standing beside him.

The young man who had just been speaking to him had suddenly vanished!

The young man turned his head around searching, but still could not spot that white figure. He muttered softly, "Strange! Where did he go? Never mind, he must have been pushed to the back, I suppose."

Then, as the Silver-armored Soldiers entered the city, the crowd that had made way at the city gate started to move again, streaming into the city.

...

After listening to the young man introduce the identity of the man on the Silver Horse, Shi Feng stealthily slipped into Guangsheng City unnoticed.

Originally, Shi Feng had planned to use the Space Transmission Array to travel directly to Destiny Mountain, but after hearing from the young man about the mysterious disappearances of the City Lords starting seven years ago,

That time frame coincided precisely with the disappearance of his disciple, the Lord of Heavenly Desolation City, Leng Aoyue!

Shi Feng felt it was necessary to inquire in Guangsheng City whether any clues were left behind regarding the disappearance of the City Lord seven years ago.

And as the young man had mentioned, the Great Commander Li Xing, having been in this city for eleven years, was undoubtedly key.

Then, Shi Feng quietly followed behind the crowd trailing the Silver-armored Army, and with a bend of his right middle finger, followed by a flick—

A pearly white glow, as tiny as a rice grain, shot from Shi Feng’s fingertip, traversing the air silently, drawing a pearly white arc, and then silently landed on the back of the neck of Great Commander Li Xing.

"Hmm?" Mounted on the Silver Horse, as Li Xing proceeded with the troop, he suddenly furrowed his brows, letting out a hum.

Just then, he felt a cool and crisp sensation on the back of his neck, as if a cold breeze had slipped through.

"What’s the matter, Great Commander?" Next to Li Xing, a Silver-armored Soldier, having heard the hum, puzzledly looked up and asked him.
