I Am Overlord

Chapter 854



After the talks of cooperation, the two groups calmed down and seemed to have forgotten their earlier hostility. Together, they had two keys in possession. However, the whereabouts of the remaining three keys were still unknown. Xiang Shaoyun had no idea how long it would take to gather them all.

At this time, Lei Bao smiled and said, "In fact, it is a simple matter to find the other keys."

"What do you mean?" Xiang Shaoyun asked curiously.

"Channel some energy into the stone key, and you will be able to sense the other keys. That was how I found out about the key in your possession," said Lei Bao.

Xiang Shaoyun was hit by a realization. He had initially thought that Lei Bao had only come for him because of the news he had spread. So it turns out that there was such a method. Xiang Shaoyun could only blame himself for not properly studying the key.

"Let's not waste any time and look for the other keys," said Xiang Shaoyun with excitement.

"That's exactly what I have in mind," said Lei Bao with a smile as he took out his key.

Xiang Shaoyun did the same. The two channeled energy into the keys at the same time. Then, the keys shone, forming rays of light that pointed in a certain direction.

Lei Bao's voice rang out, "The key will generally only sense the nearest key. We can only sense the other keys after obtaining that key."

"Shall we move together?" Xiang Shaoyun asked.

"Of course. We have less than half a year remaining. Gathering all five keys won't be easy. We need to work together. After gathering all five, we need to open the secret door immediately," said Lei Bao.

Xiang Shaoyun nodded in agreement without wasting any time. To the side, Mo Xiaoqing and Situ Yan had ghastly expressions, feeling extremely gloomy. They were unwilling to work with Xiang Shaoyun, but they did not dare to speak up against Lei Bao. Thus, they had no choice but to obey silently. Of course, they were still secretly planning to deal Xiang Shaoyun a fatal attack after opening the secret door. 

The Overlord Legion and the local faction started traveling together. Although they were temporarily working together, they still maintained some distance from each other. There weren't many exchanges between the two parties.

However, Lei Bao was quite interested in Xiang Shaoyun. He kept conversing with Xiang Shaoyun, who similarly wished to befriend Lei Bao. Befriending Lei Bao would help him reduce the amount of trouble during his coming days. After all, both the Flaming Sun and the Royal Army had joined hands against him. If the local faction joined in as well, the Overlord Legion would be even more troubled.

A few days passed, and they finally found the third key's holder. The holder was none other than Zhan Wushuang from the Crushing Sky. This was Xiang Shaoyun's first meeting with Zhan Wushuang, and this meeting left him with a deep impression. 

Zhan Wushuang only wore a simple singlet without any armor. His wide back was clearly revealed; his bulging muscles seemed to brim with power. Scars were crisscrossed on his hard face, but they made him look even more attractive and not ugly. His pair of eyes seemed to gaze disdainfully at the entire world, but the most dazzling part of him was the pair of golden gloves that shone with a brilliant gold radiance.

This was someone who had defeated Ouyang Chuanqi in five punches. He was indeed someone extraordinary. When Lei Bao saw Zhan Wushuang, a purple radiance started flickering around his body as his battle intent surged. It was clear how much he wished to have a fight with Zhan Wushuang.

However, standing behind Zhan Wushuang were over 1,000 Crushing Sky members. If they fought, the local faction would be completely destroyed.

Xiang Shaoyun also noticed the two women beside Zhan Wushuang. One was An Lulu the Lady Violence, and she was glaring at Xiang Shaoyun furiously. The other was Xia Yunxi, and she was exuding incomparable grace. She acted with complete tranquility, as though she had not noticed Xiang Shaoyun.

An Lulu was now at the seventh stage. Her growth had been rapid. Xia Yunxi had been growing at a decent speed as well. She was now at the fifth stage, catching up to the previous Di Lin. One ought to know that Xia Yunxi was the same age as Xiang Shaoyun.

It was apparent that both these women were not only talented but also possessed great fortune. Or perhaps they had received Zhan Wushuang's help. Zhan Wushuang was also at the ninth stage, and he was already at the late ninth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm. For someone that had just reached 30, this was an impressive cultivation level.

It was no wonder that Ouyang Chuanqi had been defeated by only a few punches.

"Are you here to deliver the stone keys to me?" asked Zhan Wushuang indifferently.

His gaze was focused on Lei Bao. He had completely disregarded Xiang Shaoyun. Despite Xiang Shaoyun's fame and the fact that he was the first overseer of his generation, Xiang Shaoyun still wasn't impressive enough for Zhan Wushuang.

"Bold words, but I am more interested in seeing you hand over your key," said Lei Bao.

Lei Bao had never been someone with a good temper. His very bones radiated arrogance. He had long heard of Zhan Wushuang's name and had long wanted to battle him. With an opportunity presenting itself, he did not intend to let it go.

Zhan Wushuang's eyes glowed with a golden radiance as he said, "If you can withstand three punches from me, I will hand over my key voluntarily."

It was a domineering declaration filled with the faith that he was undefeatable. Lei Bao was completely infuriated. Like a lightning dragon, he roared and readied himself for a fight.

At this time, Xiang Shaoyun stepped forth and released his aura as he shouted, "Brother Lei, calm down. Our focus should be on gathering all five keys."

With Xiang Shaoyun's strength, he wouldn't be able to stop Lei Bao and Zhan Wushuang if they wished to fight. However, his filthless soul was extremely powerful, matching a fourth-stage Sovereign. Thus, when he combined his presence with his soul power, he could create a pressure that felt as though an actual Sovereign had descended. He successfully caught the attention of Lei Bao and Zhan Wushuang.

The two looked at him in astonishment, evidently surprised by the feeling he was giving them as a sixth-stage Emperor.

"Interesting," said Zhang Wushuang with a nonchalant smile. "Are you willing to become my follower? I am willing to make you my deputy chief." 

Although Zhan Wushuang now thought higher of Xiang Shaoyun, he was still of the opinion that this level of strength only qualified Xiang Shaoyun to be his subordinate.
