Chapter 977: Chance Encounter!

Li Kuier pondered silently in her heart, the purple light in her eyes swiftly dissipating, her expression returning to its usual state.

At the same time, Jiang Han and Jiang Yan stopped in their steps in unison.

They exchanged glances, a hint of puzzlement in their eyes.

"Did you sense it too?" Jiang Han asked.

"Indeed, just now there was a wave of malice…" Jiang Yan replied.

The two of them had impressive cultivation bases, and with their special physiques, their senses were extraordinarily sharp, able to catch the most minute changes in their surroundings.

Therefore, they were able to detect a hidden malice.

Afterwards, the two looked all around, trying to trace the source of the malice, but found nothing.

Seeing the search yielded no results, Jiang Yan's face turned cold and stern, and he said in a deep voice: "No matter who it is, if they dare harbor ill intentions toward my clan, I will make them bring about their own destruction!"

Jiang Han shook his head: "In the end, they're merely seeking their own death; we need not pay them any heed."

"When the time comes, if they provoke the Clan Chief to act, we'll make them understand what true, utter despair means!"

The two withdrew their gazes and no longer concerned themselves with the matter.

After Jiang Yan and Jiang Han left, they headed toward the most luxurious tavern in the city.

Not far away, the two Primordial Spirit guards finally came back to their senses.

But just at this moment, Li Kuier, who was in front of them, suddenly blacked out and tumbled toward the ground.

The two hurriedly helped her up.

"Your Highness, what is the matter?"

Li Kuier found it a little strange, but did not overthink it: "It's nothing, I just suddenly felt a bit dizzy."

The two guards showed looks of realization.

The Ninth Princess's cultivation base was already shallow, and after traveling for so many days, it was only natural that she would be somewhat drained.

"Tomorrow is the day the Cangwu Academy opens its gates; it is a matter of great importance. You should go and rest first."

Li Kuier nodded and said: "That would be best."

The two guards breathed a sigh of relief; they had truly been worried she would refuse.

Immediately after, they began searching for an inn in the city.

Not long after.

Several figures passed by this place.

The leader was an old man in a grey robe.

Behind him were two men and one woman, all very young,

They were precisely Tian Jian, Jiang Zhiwei, Nie Wushuang, and Wang Yuhuan, who had rushed here from the Heavenly Sword Sect.

In order not to delay and risk missing the appointed time, they had arrived a day early.

At this moment, Nie Wushuang gazed at the bustling scene before him and could not help but be greatly astonished!

He truly found it hard to imagine that within the lands of the dynasty he lived in, there could exist such a magnificent city.

One must understand that his horizons had long since become far different from before.

Having stayed in the Moon Glow Imperial Court for so long, he had also seen quite a few cities.

Yet he was stunned to discover that most of the cities within it were no match for this Cangwu City before his eyes!

At the same time, a hint of unusual brilliance also rose in Wang Yuhuan's eyes, and astonishment stirred in his heart as well.

Of course, what astonished him was not the scale of Cangwu City, but the number of experts in the surroundings.

From their attire and accessories, it was clear these people came not only from the Eight Nations and the Moon Glow, but also included quite a few experts from the Great Jin Imperial Court and the Crimson Flame Imperial Court!
