Chapter 954 - 953: Kuang Qianshan, Seal the Space

The redwood man said with a chuckle.

The Wood War God snorted coldly without replying.

Xu Zimei could tell there was some conflict between the two men, and he said with a smile to the side, "We are here to visit the Manor Master of Lion Mansion."

"The Manor Master is busy with affairs and probably doesn’t have time to entertain you," the redwood man replied with a smile.

"It’s alright, if the Manor Master is busy, there’s no need to entertain us."

Xu Zimei continued, "Long ago, I have admired the style of Lion Mansion.

Today, I came on a whim to see it and fulfill the admiration in my heart.

We’ll take a quick tour and then leave, would that be alright?"

Hearing Xu Zimei’s words, the redwood man’s face remained smiling, seemingly pondering something.

"Green Lion, we are here by the City Lord’s orders, don’t go too far," the Wood War God said from the side.

"Who would dare," the redwood man chuckled, stepping aside, "Since it’s the City Lord’s intentions, please, both of you, come in."

The two exchanged a look and followed the redwood man inside.

After entering the City Lord Mansion, the redwood man beckoned, and a man dressed like a servant, wearing a cap, came over.

"I have other matters today, so I’ll let him take the two of you for a tour around the mansion," the redwood man said with a smile.

Xu Zimei nodded, not objecting either.

After the redwood man left, the servant finally stepped forward and asked, "Where would the two of you like to go first?"

"It’s fine, we’ll just wander around," Xu Zimei replied with a smile.

He followed the guidance of the Spiritual Energy lines, intentionally and unintentionally moving forward.

"Who was that man just now?" Xu Zimei asked in a low voice.

"Known as Green Lion, as for his real name, it remains unknown," the Wood War God explained.

"He’s the steward of Lion Mansion. Although just a steward, his position is second only to the Manor Master, Mad Lion.

On the surface, he manages the miscellaneous affairs of the mansion, but in secret, he handles the entire power of Lion Mansion.

He’s like Mad Lion’s right-hand man."

"Do you have a conflict?" Xu Zimei inquired curiously.

The Wood War God remained silent for a short while before finally nodding his head.

"I’m in charge of guarding the entire City of Destruction, while they of Lion Mansion always engage in rule-breaking activities behind the scenes.

But they are always on high alert, and I can’t grasp anything solid on them.

Over time, this has led to deep-seated enmity."

As he said that, the Wood War God looked at Xu Zimei again and asked, "Have you discovered anything at Lion Mansion?"

As they spoke, they arrived in front of a courtyard.

The Spiritual Energy lines in Xu Zimei’s hand also dissipated here.

The courtyard appeared very ordinary from the outside looking in, with several Hallucinatory Trees planted inside.

Such trees are used to aid in formations.

They are generally rare.

The walls surrounding the area were a pale red.

"What is this place?" Xu Zimei asked the servant who had been following behind.

"Just an ordinary, vacant courtyard," the servant replied with a smile.

"Does anyone live here?" Xu Zimei asked.

"Not at the moment," the servant replied, shaking his head.

"Let’s go in and take a look," Xu Zimei said to the Wood War God.

They talked as they walked into the courtyard.

As soon as they stepped in, the Wood War God’s brows furrowed tightly, "Something’s not right."

Xu Zimei also frowned.

After entering the courtyard, he felt the Spiritual Energy around him start to surge.

The space in front of him was fluctuating unpredictably, breaking apart and then restoring itself at times.

"Let’s go," the Wood War God commanded in a soft shout, fleeing towards the outside of the courtyard.

But the next moment, he was violently repelled by a powerful force.

Then, several blood-red beams of light arose at the four corners of the courtyard, soaring into the air.

The space above Lion Mansion was sealed with restrictions; no matter how much turmoil there was inside the courtyard, it remained unseen to the outside world.

As the four blood-colored lights ascended, Xu Zimei felt the void in front of him starting to shift.

And on the face of the servant at the door, an intriguing smile emerged.

...

This was a blood-red space.

An endless expanse of crimson, where hardly anything else could be seen.

Around them, the void undulated in waves, as if a Sea of Blood was churning with countless breakers.

"Where is this?" the Wood War God exclaimed in surprise.

The space, eternally devoid of sunlight, was incredibly oppressive.

Xu Zimei, however, seemed unusually calm.

A clapping sound emerged from the void, utterly without warning.

Then, the space in front of them tore open, and a man with fiery red hair accompanied by the same Green Lion butler from earlier walked through.

The man was dressed in a long red robe, adorned with the image of a roaring lion.

With a burly figure, his body was unusually hairy, and his eyes were pitch-black.

His beard was somewhat long, and his ears resembled folding screens.

"Welcome the two of you to Lion Mansion," the man laughed jovially.

"Kuang Qianshan," the Wood War God spoke, enunciating each syllable.

"It’s been a long while, Mu Kan," Kuang Qianshan said with a smile.

This must be the Wood War God’s true name.

"What do you mean by this?" the Wood War God asked, surveying the surrounding scene inquisitively.

"Isn’t the meaning clear enough?" Kuang Qianshan chuckled.

"Is it that I wasn’t obvious enough, or are you just foolish?"

"How dare you imprison me, are you not afraid of the City Lord?" the Wood War God said angrily.

"As long as I obtain the True Divine Sword and lift the Form Blood Clan’s seal, what does the Master of Destruction amount to," Kuang Qianshan laughed loudly.

"Unless the Holy Master returns, who else on the Yuan Central Continent could stop us?"

With these words, Kuang Qianshan turned his gaze toward Xu Zimei.

He said, "I believe you must be a smart person."

"Where is Ji Ruobing?" Xu Zimei asked.

With a wave of his hand, Kuang Qianshan made an image immediately appear in the void in front of them, as if reflected in a mirror.

In the image, Ji Ruobing also appeared to be trapped in this blood-colored space, surrounded by a horde of lion-beast bodies, locked in fierce battle.

"How about it, produce the True Divine Sword, and both you and your friend can leave safely," Kuang Qianshan smiled.

"But I tend to be rather stubborn," Xu Zimei smiled back.

"You don’t seem too bright, so let’s enlighten you a bit," Kuang Qianshan said, apparently tired of the talk.

He swung his right hand and the surrounding Sea of Blood began to roil.

Countless blood-red lions with crimson eyes leapt out of the Sea of Blood.

They bared their fangs and roared angrily at the two.

"By the way, just a reminder—you needn’t think about how to destroy this blood-colored space," Kuang Qianshan commented from the side.

"Because this blood-colored space is evolved from the Formation Blood Space’s seal, and you two are not up to the task."

"Manor Master of Mad Lion, I don’t understand," the Wood War God added.

"You’re not from the Form Blood Beast clan, so why go to such lengths to help them?"

"There’s much you don’t understand; do I really have to explain everything to you?" Kuang Qianshan chuckled softly.

With another wave of his hand, immediately countless lions pounced towards the two.

These lions seemed inexhaustible, coming in an endless surge.
