Sword Emperor

Soon, Sun Bing arrived at the entrance of the luxurious City Lord's Mansion. No guards stopped him. He walked straight into the mansion.    

    

Along the way, he could see all kinds of pavilions and pavilions. There were also many precious spiritual medicine and Spirit Flowers on the dancing pavilion. All in all, it could be considered magnificent.    

    

Finally, they arrived at an empty hall. A towering figure sat on top of it. His appearance was similar to the Humans, and he looked very handsome. However, the figure exuded an aged aura. Clearly, this was Lord of Sumeru City.    

    

"What an exquisite illusion technique! What a beautiful immortal tune! The Illusory Sound King really lives up to his reputation. He is indeed worthy of being called an expert who can control Meru City."    

    

Sun Bing couldn't help but praise after seeing this man.    

    

After all, Sun Bing had already noticed it when he heard the immortal tune earlier. It was as if he was going to enter another illusory world along with the beautiful tune.    

    

It could even be said that in the entire Meru City, except for Sun Bing and a few other people, everyone was immersed in the illusory world that Lord of Sumeru City had set up. They knew nothing about the scene that Sun Bing had just witnessed.    

    

It was as if the memories of that period of time had been completely lost.    

    

Such a strange ability was simply terrifying to the extreme. One should know that there were no less than a billion cultivators in this city. There were also countless experts among them! Even the number of Martial Highness Realm experts was not a small number.    

    

However, this Lord of Sumeru City was able to achieve such a feat. Even a supreme expert would fall into his trap. This was truly terrifying.    

    

Upon hearing Sun Bing's praise, Lord of Sumeru City couldn't help but chuckle. "A mere illusion realm is truly a small matter. It's not worth mentioning. However, it's Fellow Daoist who has a firm mind. I won't affect you in the slightest. May I know why you have come to my Meru City? "    

    

Obviously, Lord of Sumeru City was still vigilant towards the sudden appearance of Sun Bing, especially his seemingly calm eyes. From time to time, he would examine Sun Bing. This caused a trace of disgust to emerge in Sun Bing's heart.    

    

However, Sun Bing still needed someone to help him, so it wasn't appropriate for him to make it too obvious. He could only clasp his fists and say.    

    

"There is still one thing that I hope you can do for me in this trip to Meru City!"    

    

"Oh, may I know what it is? As long as I'm able to do it, I'll definitely fulfill my duty."    

    

At that instant, a faint smile appeared on Lord of Sumeru City's face as he spoke slowly.    

    

Upon hearing this, Sun Bing felt relieved and said softly, "I was training in the Starry Domain on the other side, but I was caught up in the turbulence of the spatial zone due to a moment of carelessness. After that, I found myself here. I hope that you can tell me where the Immortal Gate is. I will reward you handsomely."    

    

After Sun Bing finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent. As for Lord of Sumeru City, his expression was very calm, making it hard for anyone to tell what he was thinking.    

    

Just as Sun Bing was feeling a little irritated, he heard Lord of Sumeru City speak slowly. "This will disappoint Fellow Daoist. If you came half a month ago, I will immediately bring you to the Immortal Gate.    

    

Unfortunately, the fruit of the World Tree was about to ripen, and the Immortal Gate was located in a very remote place. It was dangerous. I hope Fellow Daoist can forgive me. I can't leave now. "    

    

After that, Lord of Sumeru City's face was filled with apology, and he had a conflicted expression on his face.    

    

However, Sun Bing's facial expression didn't change. Instead, he said straightforwardly: "There's no need for that, brother. Just speak frankly. What kind of price must I pay to get you to bring me to the Immortal Gate?"    

    

"Hahahaha, Fellow Daoist is a straightforward man. Since you are so free and easy, I won't be a petty person anymore. My original intention is to obtain a World Fruit. As long as you can help me obtain a World Fruit, I will immediately bring you to the location of the Immortal Gate. What do you think about Fellow Daoist's plan?"    

    

For a moment, Sun Bing frowned slightly. It was obvious that Lord of Sumeru City kept rejecting the idea because of the World Fruit. From his words, Sun Bing could clearly sense that there was something else hidden.    

    

Therefore, he couldn't help but ask, "I wonder what this World Fruit is. Where does it grow?"    

    

"Haha, Fellow Daoist doesn't know. This World Fruit is the fruit of the World Tree. It only grows three of them after ten thousand years. It can be said to be incomparably precious, but there are many competitors. Furthermore, the four of us can't leave the city, so we'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist.    

    

As long as you can bring the World Fruit back, I will keep my promise and bring you to where the Immortal Gate is. I wonder, what does Fellow Daoist think about this deal? "    

    

Sun Bing keenly noticed that Lord of Sumeru City didn't mention the effects of the World Fruit. He didn't care about it at all. If that was all, it wouldn't be a big deal for Sun Bing to help.    

    

However, in the end, Sun Bing couldn't help but laugh. "Since this World Fruit is incomparably important to Fellow Daoist... Why did you ask me to fight for it? Shouldn't it be someone close to Fellow Daoist?"    

    

At this moment, Lord of Sumeru City's facial expression changed. He let out a long sigh and said helplessly.    

    

"I have waited for a long time for this World Fruit. Unfortunately, my son was ambushed by the Devouring Soul City Lord. I believe Fellow Daoist must have seen what happened just now.    

    

As for the rest of them, none of them had the strength to enter such a battle. Since Fellow Daoist was able to get rid of my illusion realm, he must be pretty strong and should be able to help me.    

    

Furthermore, I promise that as long as Fellow Daoist tries his best, even if he doesn't obtain the World Fruit, I will still bring you to the Immortal Gate."    

    

"Alright, since that's the case, I will thank you for your help."    

    

At this moment, Sun Bing spoke without hesitation. Although he knew that there was a trap, he had no choice but to jump into it.    

    

However, Sun Bing believed that with his current strength, he didn't need to be overly cautious. Even if he couldn't be compared to a peak Supreme Stage, he could still escape. With the help of the Nirvanic Esoteries, his means of saving his life were first-rate.    

    

Even if he encountered some danger, Sun Bing should be able to escape successfully in the end. It was precisely because of this that he agreed so quickly.    

    

On the other side, after receiving Sun Bing's accurate answer, Lord of Sumeru City couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile on his face. He slowly nodded and said:    

    

"There is still half a month until the World Fruit ripens. Before that, Fellow Daoist will have to recuperate in City Lord's Mansion. At that time, everything will be rid of you."    

    

"There is no need for that, daoist Brother. To me, this is just a transaction. I hope that you will keep your promise."    

    

Sun Bing slowly shook his head. His face was filled with indifference.    

    

"Of course, of course..."
