Chapter 112 The First of the Divine Artifacts

Dugu Jianling smiled slightly, a sly glint in his eyes.

"Yun Muhan, you are indeed clever, but do you think I, Dugu Jianling, am so simple?" His voice carried a hint of amusement, clearly indicating that he had anticipated Yun Muhan's plan.

Yun Muhan raised an eyebrow, seemingly realizing something, but remained calm. "Oh? What brilliant idea do you have for this so-called 'top artifact'?"

Dugu Jianling paced slowly, his gaze piercing. "You're right, my true form is indeed the foremost of all divine artifacts, but do you think being the foremost of all divine artifacts is that simple? My power cannot be mobilized at will; it requires specific conditions and timing."

"Moreover, each of these three divine artifacts possesses unique power, and there is some mysterious connection between them. Only when all three are gathered together can their true power be unleashed. If one were to absorb them..."

Yun Muhan was silent for a moment, then nodded. "I see. It seems I really overestimated you. Well then, we still need to proceed according to the original plan and find these three divine artifacts."

Dugu Jianling: Something feels off. I think I've been tricked.

Dugu Jianling nodded, but the light in his eyes deepened. "That's right, but don't underestimate me. The fact that you could think of using me shows that your wisdom and courage are not to be underestimated."

Yun Muhan smiled slightly, and their eyes met in the air, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.

"Then let's set off. Our first stop is Snowstorm City, the location of the 'Sword of Apocalypse'."

Yun Muhan added, "You can devour other divine artifacts, or even your own remaining swords, to increase or fuse with them in order to strengthen yourself. How did your master create such a freak like you?"

Dugu Jianling quickly said, "I'm not a pervert, I don't even have a gender."

"I know, I know, 'perverted' isn't an adjective, it's an interjection. It's a compliment! By the way, who exactly created you?"

Dugu Jianling: "I don't know! My memories are incomplete, I can only wait and see."

"Alright, alright, your master must be an unparalleled expert and a handsome man with an elegant demeanor, although he may not be as handsome as me."

Dugu Jianling nodded, then quickly shook his head. The two figures gradually disappeared into the wind, embarking on their journey to find the divine artifact.

Snowstorm City, an ancient city located in the northern part of Yuanzhou, is covered in snow all year round. Legend has it that the 'Sword of Apocalypse' is hidden in some corner of this city.

The arrival of Dugu Jianling and Yun Muhan has undoubtedly brought new variables to this city. How they will find the 'Sword of Apocalypse' and how they will face the challenges ahead remains to be seen.

Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling passed through the city gates of Wind and Snow City, and before them lay a world draped in silver. The buildings on both sides of the street were covered with thick snow, like an ice kingdom from a fairy tale.

Despite the wind and snow, the city's residents remained busy, their eyes revealing their curiosity about the two outsiders.

The two first went to the local tavern, a good place to gather information. The tavern was filled with smoke and the aroma of roasted meat and spirits.

They found a corner to sit down, ordered two glasses of strong liquor, and began to listen to the conversation around them.

"Have you heard?" A gruff voice caught their attention. "The city lord recently issued a bounty, saying that whoever finds the 'Sword of Apocalypse' will receive a generous reward."

"Hmph, that sword is a legendary divine weapon, it's not so easy to find." Another voice responded disdainfully.

Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling exchanged a glance, knowing that this would be one of the clues in their search for the 'Sword of Revelation'.

"We need to see the city lord," Yun Muhan whispered to Dugu Jianling.

Yun Muhan's voice was deep and firm, his words revealing an unquestionable determination.

Dugu Jianling nodded, indicating that he had no objection to Yun Muhan's suggestion. Amidst the tavern's clamor, the two finished their last drink, the warmth of the liquor a stark contrast to the cold reality they were about to face.

They rose and left, the tavern's wooden door slowly closing behind them, isolating them from the hustle and bustle. A night breeze swept by, bringing a touch of coolness and a sense of impending challenge.

Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling walked steadily through the streets toward the city lord's mansion, their shadows stretching long in the moonlight.

The city lord's mansion appeared exceptionally solemn in the night, its outline faintly visible under the moonlight, like a sleeping giant beast.

The guards at the gate, clad in gleaming armor and wielding spears, scrutinized every approaching individual with wary eyes. Yun Muhan stepped forward, his demeanor neither servile nor overbearing, his voice clearly stating their purpose. The guards glanced at the two uninvited guests before turning to announce their arrival.

After a brief wait, the guards returned and signaled that they could enter. Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling passed through the guards and entered the city lord's mansion, their footsteps echoing in the spacious hall.

The city lord was a middle-aged man with a resolute face and sharp, eagle-like eyes that seemed to see into people's hearts. He sat on a throne in the hall, carved from precious wood and inlaid with various gemstones, displaying the city lord's nobility and power.

The city lord's gaze was like a sharp sword, scrutinizing the two unexpected guests. He sat with composure, his hands resting on the armrests of the throne, each finger appearing strong and resolute.

Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling stood in the center of the hall, facing the city lord, ready to state their purpose. A tense atmosphere filled the air, but the two men remained unusually calm. They knew that this meeting might change many things.
