"I hear the Venerable and his people are about to enter Jianghai City?"
After watching Xia He walk away, the two men lingered under the tree like stubborn ghosts. The man with the insect-nest arm squatted on the ground, engrossed in prodding at an anthill.
"That's right. The Venerable is coming to Jianghai precisely to force out the Jianghai Sword God."
His companion pulled his cap down low and said coldly, "Once the Sword God is eliminated, no one will be left to stand in our way. All of Jianghai City will become a plaything for the Beast Tide."
"But..."
The man with the insect-nest arm prodded the ants in their hill and hesitated. "The Jianghai Sword God is rumored to be extremely secretive. How are we supposed to find him then? Does the Venerable already know where he's hiding?"
"Hmph. Of course."
His companion sneered, crossing his arms as he watched the traffic on the road. "His Lordship the Venerable has his own ways of making that rat show his face."
