The room was clean and tidy, and the windows faced the street, offering a clear view of the outside.
“It’s hard to say.” David walked to the window and looked out at the crowds on the street. “The Evil Path Hall operates in secret. Since this is a holy land for sword cultivators, even if they have a branch hall, they probably won’t make a big fuss. We need to be careful and look for the locals to ask about the situation first.”
At that, David frowned almost imperceptibly. He felt a faint presence following them in the shadows since they entered the city.
“What is it?” Hu Mazi noticed David’s unusual behavior and asked.
“We are being watched,” David said in a low voice. “They have followed us from the city gates.”
Hu Mazi immediately stiffened: “Is that the brocade-robed man, Zhao Tianyi? Or someone from the Evil Path Hall?”
“Neither.” David shook his head. “It’s a female cultivator. Her aura is very familiar. She must be the woman in white at the city gate.”
Hu Mazi was surprised: “Why is he following us? Is it because you ruined his sword intent competition just now?”
“Possible.”
David’s eyes flashed. “His sword intent is very pure, and his strength is not weak. Let’s not alarm him and let’s see what he wants to do.”
The two stayed in the room for about half an hour. David got up and said, “Let’s go out for a walk and see if there’s any place where we can gather information.”
Hu Mazi nodded and followed David out of the inn.
As they turned a corner, a figure dressed in white suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way.
She was the female cultivator at the city gate who was sparring with the male cultivator in sword techniques. Currently, his face no longer had the refined look it had before; instead, his face was filled with a sharp look as he stared at David intently.
“Who are you? And why are you interfering in my sword intent contest with Qin Feng from the Divine Sword Palace?”
The female cultivator went straight to the point, her voice cold and accusing.
David looked at the female cultivator in front of him. She was tall and beautiful, wearing pure white clothes, and the long sword in her hand emitted a faint cold light.
“I was just passing by, it wasn’t on purpose,” David said calmly.
“An unintentional act?”
The female cultivator obviously didn’t believe it. “Even though your sword intent is refined, I can feel that it contains a very special charm, which is definitely not a coincidence. Who exactly are you? Why do you have such pure sword intent?”
“My name is David. As for sword intent, it was just something I trained blindly.”
David answered neither humble nor arrogant.
The female cultivator looked David up and down, and seeing that he only had the cultivation of Free God, a glimmer of doubt flashed in her eyes: “A Free God can have such sword intent? Do you think I’m a three year old kid?”
Before he finished speaking, the female cultivator suddenly moved. The long sword in his hand turned into a white rainbow, carrying a sharp sword aura, and stabbed towards David!
