Sword Saint Inheritance, team invitation? (5400)

At this moment, after closing the private chat window, Cao Xing looked ahead once more.

During the time he was talking to Tian Jing, he had already gotten closer to the Eternal Frost Main City!

Looking down from the air, one could see the entire panorama of this Giant City and its surrounding environment.

The Eternal Frost Main City was situated in the middle of a vast plain, surrounded by endless snowy fields, like a brilliant pearl embedded in a scroll of ice and snow.

The Giant City was irregularly circular, with a diameter of about a dozen kilometers.

The city walls towered into the clouds, estimated to be at least several hundred meters high, built from massive blocks of ice and hard rock.

On top of the city walls, there was an observation tower every certain distance, with many patrolling soldiers on them.

Sweeping his gaze across the walls, one could see various buildings within the city.

There were tall palaces, magnificent churches, sturdy fortresses, and countless residential houses.

The roofs of these buildings were all covered in thick snow, like white hats, appearing both sacred and filled with the atmosphere of daily life.

Cao Xing exclaimed in admiration, "As expected of a kingdom's main city, the scale is truly massive!"

Besides this, he also saw that there was a huge city gate in each of the four directions: east, west, south, and north.

Among them, the east and south gates were closed, while only the west and north gates were open.

A large number of caravans and pedestrians were entering and exiting through these two gates.

Cao Xing quickly understood.

"It seems we can only enter through these two gates."

Consequently, he quickly maneuvered the Goblin Airship to descend, and gradually arrived below the city gate.

Passersby stopped in their tracks one after another, watching the Goblin Airship with various curious, scrutinizing, and strange gazes.

"Buzz, buzz…" The Goblin Airship's propellers stopped spinning as it gradually descended to the ground.

This behemoth, dozens of meters long, occupied a large open space.

However, fortunately, as this was the main city of the Ice Crystal Kingdom, these city guards could be considered knowledgeable.

They naturally recognized this kind of goblin technology.

When Cao Xing led everyone out of the Goblin Airship and arrived in front of those soldiers.

A soldier glanced at Cao Xing, then said in an even tone, "Your airship cannot be flown into the city."

Cao Xing nodded, "Can my airship be stored here?"

"Yes."

The soldier replied, "Pay a management fee of 1,000 crowns per day for large transport equipment, and we will safeguard this airship for you."

"Of course, do not leave any valuables inside."

"Besides that, if any accidents happen during this time that cause damage to your airship, we will not be responsible."

Hearing this, Cao Xing frowned again.

Obviously, this meant they only helped with storage and provided no subsequent guarantees.

Even if the Goblin Airship were scrapped or destroyed by someone, it would have nothing to do with them.

However, Cao Xing didn't have any objections.

This time, he planned to leave the Frost Wolf inside the airship; after all, such large beasts were not allowed to enter the Eternal Frost Main City.

If anyone with ill intent or crooked thoughts wanted to make a move on Cao Xing's airship.

Then the Frost Wolf would let them know what master-level bite force was.

Cao Xing nodded and said, "No problem."

"If the rest of us enter, do we need to go through any procedures?"

The soldier shook his head.

"Not needed, you just need to pay an entry fee of 100 crowns each."

Cao Xing didn't waste words, directly taking out a bag from his backpack filled with a heavy 10,000 crowns.

Then he tossed it over.

"We might stay inside for a few days before coming out this time."

"You can take the extra crowns and relax at a tavern yourselves."

"Remember to watch the airship well for me."

After the soldier took the money bag and counted the number of crowns inside.

A smile instantly appeared on his serious face.

He said solemnly, "No problem, my lord."

"Before you come out, I will ensure the airship is absolutely safe!"

Cao Xing didn't say anything more, and then led everyone into the Giant City.

After Cao Xing and his group left, the soldier carefully tucked the money bag into his backpack.

10,000 crowns was an astonishing fortune for him!

Even if a portion of it was the storage fee, he could still earn several thousand.

At the same time, he became even more attentive to watching over the Goblin Airship.

In case this lord saw the airship completely undamaged when he came out.

If he were happy and rewarded him with a few more crowns, that would be a huge profit!

Of course, Cao Xing naturally did not know what the soldier was thinking.

He had already led everyone through the wide city gate.

The scene before them suddenly opened up!

Neat streets and rows of buildings with uniform architectural styles appeared ahead.

The surroundings were filled with a flowing crowd of people, and there were quite a few people in strange costumes here.

Of course, there was definitely no shortage of Survivors.

As the largest city in the entire Ice Crystal Kingdom.

This was also the place where the most humans gathered and where the foot traffic was the greatest.

Compared to the desolation of other places, this place appeared very lively.

"Didn't expect it to be so easy to get in; I thought it would take some trouble," Cao Xing thought happily.

Beside him, Braum also exclaimed, "Aha! This city is truly huge!"

"There must be a lot of fine wine here waiting for me to taste!"

And the Qi Empress, Victoria, gazed into the distance at the magnificent palace in the central district, not knowing what she was thinking.

In addition to having much higher foot traffic than Merlind City, the Eternal Frost Main City…

…correspondingly, there were also many hidden powerhouses in this main city.

Cao Xing had already sensed many powerful auras here!

Even those city guards were at least Tier 4 or 5 in strength.

Besides that, among the passersby, Cao Xing even sensed a few Tier 5, or even Tier 6, auras!

"As expected of a big city."

"It really is full of hidden talents!"

Of course, the group of powerhouses led by Cao Xing was not weak either.

Although he was an Otherworld Lord and had essential differences from the natives of this world.

However, the auras they emitted were very formidable, and no one dared to easily provoke a few masters.

Therefore, they naturally avoided a lot of trouble.

The first thing to do after arriving in the city was naturally to find a place to stay.

Consequently, Cao Xing decided to first find a tavern with a good reputation and stay for a few days.

Just as he was preparing to ask someone randomly which tavern in the Eternal Frost Main City was good.

He suddenly felt his shoulder being tapped.

Cao Xing stopped and turned around.

Then he saw a man appear behind him, wearing light leather armor with a suit underneath.

He looked to be about thirty years old, with a sword tucked at his waist, looking rather incongruous.

Beside him followed a petite little girl who looked only seven or eight years old.

The little girl was holding onto the man's clothing, appearing very nervous.

Upon seeing this person, everyone's eyes were filled with confusion.

And Sarah, who was beside him, became alert.

At the same time, the other party spoke first, asking, "Are you Great Lord Cao Xing?"

Cao Xing did not answer, but instead asked back, "Who are you?"

Although he could tell that the other party was an Otherworld Lord.

However, because after the system update, there was no way to casually check other people's information.

Moreover, this person's level was very high, seemingly exceeding the scope of the True Sight Eye, so Cao Xing could not see his name either.

The man had a kind smile on his face and then said, "My name is Wei Jianyi, have you heard of me?"

Hearing this name, Cao Xing was slightly stunned.

He did indeed remember.

In the current four major districts, besides Cao Xing and Bai Zhi, there were a few others whose names were quite famous.

One of them was Wei Jianyi.

It was said that he obtained a Sword Saint inheritance and was once the number one person in District 18, a strong contender for the top three on the leaderboard.

Among the Survivors, he was still very powerful.

"I remember you, the Little Sword Saint, right?" Cao Xing replied.

Hearing this, the man in front of him immediately said embarrassedly, "You're joking."

"How could I deserve the title of Sword Saint? It's just picking a general from among the short."

"So that means, you really are Great Lord Cao Xing?"

Cao Xing nodded and did not deny it.

Upon hearing him admit it, this Wei Jianyi immediately became even more excited!

"Haha! That's great!"

"I didn't expect to actually run into Great Lord Cao Xing in the Eternal Frost Main City; my luck is truly good."

And beside him, the little girl was staring at Cao Xing with bright, large eyes, full of curiosity.

Obviously, even this little girl had often heard of his name.

After the excitement, Wei Jianyi asked, "By the way, Great Lord Cao Xing, why are you here? I remember your territory is in the Gale Snowfield region, right?"

Cao Xing replied, "I came to the Eternal Frost Main City to take care of some business."

Wei Jianyi nodded in realization, but did not pursue the question further.

At this time, Cao Xing continued, "Is there anything else?"

The other party paused, as if having made some decision.

Then he quietly leaned over to his side and whispered.

"Great Lord Cao Xing, there is indeed something I would like to discuss with you."

"Actually, it's not just me who has come to the Eternal Frost Main City this time; I've also called Bai Zhi and Cheng Lu over."

"Their territories are also located in several major regions near the Eternal Frost Main City."

Hearing this, Cao Xing immediately narrowed his eyes.

The two people he mentioned were no ordinary existences.

Even within the entire Four Major Regions, they are powerhouses who can rank in the top three.

In other words, this time, Wei Jianyi has practically called over all the strongest individuals in the Four Major Regions, excluding Cao Xing.

Cao Xing asked, "Are you… planning some kind of operation?"

Wei Jianyi nodded.

He first looked around, then leaned into Cao Xing's ear and whispered, "It has to do with my Sword Saint Inheritance."

"I wonder if Great Lord Cao Xing is interested?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing narrowed his eyes instantly.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Wei Jianyi nodded solemnly.

"Absolutely true!"

Cao Xing paused, then replied, "Since that's the case, I am indeed very interested."

Hearing this, the man before him also smiled.

"I knew Great Lord Cao Xing would be interested."

"However, this is not the place to talk."

"You must have just arrived at the Eternal Frost Main City and don't have a place to stay yet, right?"

He nodded.

A look of 'as I expected' appeared in Wei Jianyi's eyes.

"Then please accompany me to the Helen Da Tavern."

"That place is considered a relatively affordable tavern in the Eternal Frost Main City. Bai Zhi and Cheng Lu are both there, and we can go there to discuss the details!"

Cao Xing replied, "Alright, let's go together."

"Great!"

After speaking, Wei Jianyi led the little girl beside him and walked toward the street ahead.

While Cao Xing and his group followed behind him.

Following this man along the way, they passed through several bustling streets.

Soon, they arrived at the city center area, in front of a relatively luxurious building.

On it, several large characters were written in a vigorous and powerful font!

[Helen Da Tavern]

"We've arrived, Great Lord Cao Xing!"

Wei Jianyi's voice rang out.

"Great Lord Cao Xing, as the largest city in the Ice Crystal Kingdom, the prices of all taverns here are very high."

"A single room costs four or five hundred crowns a night, and the Helen Da Tavern is no better."

"In a moment, the bartender inside will tell you that there are no standard rooms left and only those costing one or two thousand per night are available; don't believe him."

"Just tell him you want the most standard room."

"Otherwise, you'll end up spending tens of thousands of crowns just on accommodation!"

He appeared heartbroken, as if he had been ripped off before.

Cao Xing smiled after hearing this, "I understand, thanks for the reminder."

Having said that, he led his warriors into the tavern.

A bartender quickly approached them.

Then, with a smile on his face, he said, "Guests, are you looking for accommodation?"

Cao Xing nodded and said directly, "Six people, arrange four rooms for us."

The bartender glanced at the people behind him, still wearing a respectful smile as he said.

"Certainly, but you have arrived a bit late; the lower and middle-tier rooms are already booked."

"There are only a few premium rooms left now, which are about two thousand crowns per night. What do you think…"

Everyone looked at this bartender with strange expressions.

As expected, just as Wei Jianyi said, the tricks used by these taverns are all about the same.

However, Cao Xing didn't say much and directly took out a small bag containing fifty thousand crowns.

"Arrange four premium rooms for me for one week."

"And then prepare a few days of food for us. Is that a problem?"

Master Cao now possessed a massive fortune of nearly two hundred million.

He didn't want to quibble over such matters and waste time.

Besides, when traveling, it's not a bad thing to improve one's living conditions a bit.

The bartender immediately beamed with joy and took the money bag.

Then he nodded repeatedly and said, "No problem, respected guest."

Wei Jianyi, who was on the side, watched Cao Xing's actions in a daze.

Then, he smiled and shook his head.

He naturally realized that these tens of thousands of crowns seemed to mean nothing to Cao Xing.

"Great Lord Cao Xing, why don't you go check out your rooms first."

"Come find me after you've settled everything here."

"We'll be waiting for you in the room at the far end of the west side on the second floor."

Cao Xing nodded, "Alright."

Then, led by the bartender, he arrived at the third floor of the tavern.

"Tap, tap… tap, tap…"

Walking up a wooden staircase, they soon arrived at the corridor area on the third floor of the tavern.

At the end of a corridor, the bartender said respectfully.

"Guest, these four rooms are yours; you may distribute them as you wish."

After saying this, he handed four keys to Cao Xing.

Cao Xing took them casually.

"Alright, there's nothing else here; go attend to other people first."

"Yes."

The bartender left respectfully.

Cao Xing glanced at the rooms and quickly arranged, "Sarah and Isabelle in one room, Victoria and Gwyneth in another room."

"Then Braum and Assam, with the Light Feather Chicken Buoyancy in one room."

The last room was, naturally, left for Cao Xing himself.

Braum touched his head and laughed, "No problem."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Then, according to Cao Xing's arrangement, they entered their rooms.

Cao Xing also pushed open a room at random.

Pushing the door open, a spacious room immediately appeared inside.

It was indeed worthy of being a premium room; the space inside was large, and the fireplace in the room was burning brightly.

Waves of heat rose up.

Cao Xing took a look and said, "Not bad."

"At least I can have a good night's sleep."

There was nothing much to see in the room; now he had to do something more important.

So, Cao Xing pressed the communication device on his ear and said, "Wait for my instructions in your rooms."

"Sarah, come out with me."

Everyone responded one after another.

A black shadow quickly came to Cao Xing's side and then merged into the darkness.

Sarah, now a level 70 Master-class assassin, was completely undetectable in her stealth state.

Cao Xing went down the stairs to the second floor.

And following the information Wei Jianyi had left behind, he headed toward the end of the corridor.

Meanwhile.

In a certain room in this tavern.

Three figures were sitting at a table.

Behind them stood a dozen or so followers, all around level 30 or 40.

The expressions of everyone in the room were very solemn.

Among them, a woman asked in a solemn tone, "Wei Jianyi, are you sure you're not joking?"

"You just went out, ran into Cao Xing, and then invited him to join the upcoming operation."

"And he actually agreed?"

Wei Jianyi rolled his eyes and said, "Do I look like I'm joking?"

"It's true, he is in this tavern right now, and I expect he'll be here in a moment."

Hearing this, the two were slightly stunned.

But they could also see that Wei Jianyi was serious.

Beside him, another middle-aged man said with emotion.

"Wei Jianyi, you really gave us a big surprise without making a sound!"

"With Cao Xing here, there's nothing left for us to do, right?"

"He's so strong that he could clear that inheritance on his own."

Wei Jianyi rolled his eyes at him, but said, "Cheng Lu, that Sword Saint Inheritance is not as simple as you imagine."

"Even if the three of us combine our strength, we don't have much confidence in defeating the guards at the entrance and obtaining the inheritance inside."

"If Cao Xing joins this time, the success rate will increase significantly."

Hearing this, the robust middle-aged man said, "I don't mind him joining."

"However, after this operation, how will the items inside be divided?"

Wei Jianyi thought for a moment and said, "This, we can only discuss in detail after he arrives."

The two nodded one after another.

At the same time, they also felt a slight sense of anticipation in their hearts.

After all, they had long heard of this number one person in the Four Major Regions, but before this, no one had seen him in person.

Unexpectedly, this time not only could they see him, but they even had the chance to explore the inheritance with him.

Meanwhile.

Cao Xing had already reached the end of a corridor, and sure enough, a door appeared ahead.

After sensing the aura inside, he pushed the door open and entered.

At a glance, he saw three figures with relatively powerful auras sitting beside a small wooden table.

They all had strength of around level 50.

Besides Wei Jianyi, whom he had seen today.

Beside him was a woman with a cold, frosty temperament and white hair.

The other was a middle-aged man with a fleshy face but a kind smile.

After seeing Cao Xing enter.

A dozen pairs of eyes in the room immediately looked over at the same time!

Then, they locked onto Cao Xing simultaneously.

Upon feeling the magic power on Cao Xing, which was as deep as an iceberg, everyone's aura trembled slightly.

A look of surprise, vigilance, or shock appeared in everyone's eyes!
