Chapter 168 He Had Finally Arrived
“Sit down.”
A faint voice sounded. Li Xuan pointed at the seat and looked at the city lord.
“Thank you, sir.”
The city lord bowed respectfully and brought the gifts to the crude tea table. He placed the gifts carefully on the table.
“Sir Li Xuan, thank you for helping Gravel City to destroy the Pollution Giant Tree. On behalf of Gravel City, I sincerely thank you.
“I heard that you like Spatial Stones, and I happen to have some here. It was also a gift from the blind granny previously.”
The city lord said respectfully as he slowly opened the small box.
In an instant, a large pile of Spatial Stones appeared in the box and appeared in Li Xuan’s field of vision.
Looking at so many Spatial Stones, Li Xuan’s eyes sparkled as he nodded his head in satisfaction.

“Not bad, I’m very satisfied.”
After Li Xuan finished speaking, he touched the box without hesitation. In an instant, the box disappeared.
“This…”
When the city lord saw this scene, his pupils constricted. He immediately realized that Li Xuan had some sort of special storage ability.
However, the city lord did not dare to ask. He only bowed respectfully.
“Alright, that’s it. Xue’er, let’s go.”
Li Xuan waved his hand and came to Xue’er’s shoulder, walking further and further away with her.
Only the crowd remained where they were, watching solemnly. All of them were extremely shocked.
After the city lord had left as well, only then did Grandpa Zhang recover. When he thought of the city lord’s respectful attitude, he also thought of the Pollution Giant Tree in Gravel Valley that even the Sword Saint could not defeat.
Grandpa Zhang completely understood and realized how terrifying Li Xuan was.
“I actually drank tea with a Silver Rank in the same tea shop. That’s too scary. However, I’ll have the ability to brag again in the future.”
“After all, I drank tea with Lord Li Xuan in the same tea shop. Hmph, everyone will be envious of me.”
Grandpa Zhang was proud of himself. He felt that such an experience was more legendary and more attractive.
Putting aside Grandpa Zhang’s thoughts, his gaze came to Li Xuan’s side.
At this moment, Li Xuan and the others had left the city. After traveling for some time, they came to a big tree outside the city. They saw the Armored Pollution Giant sitting on the ground obediently.
Seeing such an obedient giant, Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction. Then, he led Xue’er to jump onto the Armored Pollution Giant’s shoulder and rode it into the distance.
On the other side, by a clear lake.
The blind granny and the sword Saint were sitting on the grass. While eating, they talked about the situation in the Underground Darkness City.
“Sword Saint, the Underground Darkness City is full of dangers. Why don’t we bring Li Xuan here to explore the Underground Darkness City together? His detection ability should be very good,” suggested the blind granny.
“There’s no need. We’ve been to the Underground Darkness City many times and have rich experience. There’s no need to increase the number of people…” “Moreover, the Underground Darkness City is fraught with dangers. If Li Xuan goes, we’ll have to divert our attention to take care of him. It’ll take too much time.” The Sword Saint shook his head and refused.
“Although we’re very experienced, we still have to pay attention to the last level. There’s an unknown terrifying existence hidden there. Back then, I didn’t discover the other party and lost both my eyes.”
“If we bring Li Xuan along, his observation ability should be able to detect the enemy ahead of time.” The blind granny Thought for a moment and said.
“The last level is indeed a little troublesome, but our strength is no longer the same as before. In addition, my perception of danger is better than before. This time, it won’t be the same…”
“Moreover, the last level is definitely hiding treasures. I don’t want anyone to snatch the treasures from me.”
“In particular, Li Xuan’s detection ability can only provide assistance. His combat ability is weak, so there’s no need to bring him along.”
The Sword Saint shook his head and once again rejected the blind granny’s suggestion.
“This…”
The blind granny frowned. She felt that what the Sword Saint said was indeed reasonable, so she could only nod and say, “That’s true. What you said is somewhat reasonable.”
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The sound of the Sword Saint’s ultra-long-distance communication ring suddenly rang out, causing the Sword Saint to lower his head to look. In the next second, he directly stood up, his eyes filled with shock.
“What’s wrong?”
The blind granny was puzzled. The Sword Saint, who did not understand what had shocked him so much, stood up.
“He… He actually killed the Pollution Giant Tree! How could such a terrifying giant tree be killed by him? How is this possible? How is this possible?” The Sword Saint could not believe it, and his expression changed. “Hmm? Who are you talking about?”
The blind granny asked in puzzlement. However, the next second, she turned her head to look at her ring, which was also flashing with light.
A few minutes later, the blind granny and the Sword Saint sat on the grass in silence for a long time. They realized that Li Xuan was not simple.
“I didn’t expect him to be so powerful. He could even kill the Pollution Giant Tree. I underestimated him,” the Sword Saint said while shaking his head.
“Indeed, he is not simple. His strength might have surpassed yours and reached the limit of Silver Rank, which is the Silver Rank Peak, just like me,” the blind granny said seriously.
“This is the only explanation. Oh right, according to the intelligence report, Li Xuan and the others are heading towards the Underground Darkness City. We have to speed up. There are treasures in the Underground Darkness City. We can’t let Li Xuan get ahead of us.”
The Sword Saint immediately suggested.
“Don’t worry. There are only treasures left in the last level of the Underground City of darkness. The treasures in the other layers are all gone.”
“The last level is very dangerous. Even if Li Xuan was not weak, he could not barge in alone.”
“The first six levels of the underground city had quite a number of Pollution Giants. If Li Xuan wanted to kill these giants, he would probably need a few days.”
“Although we are quite far away, as long as we speed up, we can definitely make it to the underground city,” the blind granny said calmly. “That’s true. Then let’s set off and make it to the Underground Darkness City as soon as possible.”
“Alright!”
After the two of them finished their discussion, they quickly headed towards the direction of the Underground Darkness City. Their speed had increased by several times.
Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.
During these five days, Li Xuan and the others did not cause any more waves. They smoothly arrived at the Darkness Valley and arrived at the entrance of the Underground Darkness
City.
What surprised Li Xuan was that the Underground Darkness City was constantly emitting dense black gas. Not only did the black gas pollute the land, it also dyed the entire valley black.
Li Xuan could even feel the power of his heart palpitating from the entrance of the Underground Darkness City.

“Looks like we can’t let Xuerer continue.”
Li Xuan sighed and looked at Xue’er beside him. Then, he took out the Five-Colored Abyssal Stone from the Auction House and threw it to Xue’er.
“Hold it and try your best to increase your strength.”
“Yes, Lord Li Xuan.”
Xue’er nodded obediently. This was the fifth time she had held this Five-Colored Abyssal Stone. She had held it for the past few days and her strength had increased quite a bit.
However, as time passed, the speed of her improvement became slower and slower, and the effect on her was not as great as it had been at the beginning.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
A mysterious aura rippled out, and a tyrannical power rose from the ground, starting to be absorbed into the Five-Colored Abyssal Stone through Xue’er.
Following this absorption, the Five-Colored Abyssal Stone slowly began to grow in size. Although it was only slightly larger, it could still be seen that its strength was increasing.
During this process, Xue’er’s special ability was rapidly becoming stronger, continuously increasing her level. The aura she was emitting also began to become stronger. Even the surroundings of her body began to ripple with a large amount of ice.
