A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 475 It’s better to be careful

He thought it was some kind of peerless artifact or at least gold and silver treasures, but when he came in, he found it was all junk. No wonder he immediately started cursing when he saw it.

He glanced around casually, but nothing caught his eye. He was utterly disappointed. These were just pieces of junk, yet the people of Black House Mountain treated them like treasures—it was truly speechless. However, as Chao Bufan turned to leave, it was the two golden ancient cannons displayed on either side of the entrance that caught his eye—

The ancient cannons were very peculiar in appearance. Compared with ordinary cannons, they were significantly smaller. Even though he came from a military background, he had never seen cannons like these before. They were not made of metal, nor were they stone cannons. Although they were golden in color, they were not made of gold or brass.

"Strange, what kind of cannon is this?" he muttered to himself, frowning.

"Strange, how did they get here?"

At the same time, the old man also raised a question.

"Senior, do you know about them?" Chao Bufan quickly asked.

"Of course I know what kind of cannons these are. These two cannons are called 'Sky-Shattering Cannons'."

"The Sky-Shattering Cannon? Is it powerful?" Chao Bufan asked again.

"Nonsense, they can blast the sky apart, shatter the earth, and even tear through the void. Isn't that amazing?"

"Oh, that's really impressive!"

"Kid, these are rare and exquisite sacred artifacts. I wonder how they obtained two of them."

"A top-grade sacred artifact?" Chao Bufan was slightly surprised.

"What do you think? I once heard my master talk about the Sky-Shattering Cannon. He told me that there are four Sky-Shattering Cannons in total, and the power of each cannon depends on the user. The stronger the user, the greater the power of the cannon. This is because the power of the Sky-Shattering Cannon is a hundred times greater than the user's peak strength. Therefore, if the user has enough strength, the Sky-Shattering Cannon can easily destroy the world."

"What? It can unleash a hundred times the power of the user? This—this is too outrageous!" Chao Bufan exclaimed in shock. "Senior, is it real or fake?"

"I heard it from my master. Whether it's true or not, you'll know once you try it."

"Hehe, senior, then we've struck gold. With these two Sky-Shattering Cannons, dealing with your senior brother's evil will be a piece of cake."

"That being said, we cannot let our guard down. After all, I heard it from my master. We can only find out if it's true or not by trying it."

"Alright, I understand." Chao Bufan unceremoniously stored the two Sky-Breaking Cannons into his internal space, then asked, "Senior, didn't you say there were four Sky-Breaking Cannons in total? Do you know the whereabouts of the other two Sky-Breaking Cannons?"

"I don't know that either."

Chao Bufan asked, "Senior, do you think there might be similar Sky-Breaking Cannons in Ancient Spirit City?"

"Hard to say."

"It seems we need to make a trip to Ancient Spirit City. If it's there, that would be wonderful."

"Young man, I'm finding this increasingly strange. The Heaven-Shattering Cannon is an ancient sacred artifact, the most prized treasure guarding the four gates of Heaven in the east, west, south, and north. How did they obtain it?"

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan pondered for a moment, then said, "Now that all the gates within the World Tree have been opened, we have obtained the Seven Fiend Blades of the Demon Realm, Lin Feng has obtained the Buddha Relic of the Buddhist Realm, and if I am not mistaken, Su Haijun must have also obtained something. Therefore, it is not surprising that Black House Mountain obtained the Heavenly Court's Sky-Shattering Cannon. However, why would they place such a valuable treasure here? Could it be that they do not know how to use it?"

“Now that Black House Mountain has attacked Ancient Spirit City, if they were to use these two Sky-Shattering Cannons, Ancient Spirit City probably wouldn’t even be enough for them to bombard with a single shot. Since they haven’t used them, it means they really don’t know how to use them. Kid, you must find a way to locate the other two Sky-Shattering Cannons, lest they fall into the hands of my senior brother.”

"Yeah, I know."

Afterwards, Chao Bufan carefully examined the treasure pavilion, and seeing that there was nothing to take, he quietly left.

After leaving Black House Mountain, Chao Bufan appeared beside Jobrida. Jobrida asked, "Is there any plan up there?"

“Yes,” Chao Bufan nodded and said, “The city lord has instructed Elder Patch to inform General Mosli, the leader of the city guard, to move all the city guards to the foot of the mountain, and also to move the assassins to the foot of the mountain. He also instructed Second Elder Pas to inform Black Gold Luo and the others to prepare for the attack on the city.”

Upon hearing this, Jobrida nodded and said, "It seems that the city lord is already confident of victory over Ancient Spirit City."

Chao Bufan grunted in agreement and said, "The city lord asked me to take a few people over there and say a few words to them, telling them to give up resistance, or else we'll raze Guling City to the ground."

Jobrida was slightly startled and asked, "Wouldn't it be very dangerous to go like this?"

Chao Bufan smiled and said, "It's alright. In a battle between two cities, envoys are not to be killed. Just wait for my signal. If we don't return within ten minutes, the city lord will raze Guling City to the ground."

Chobrida frowned, then nodded solemnly and said, "These are extraordinary times, so be careful!"

Chao Bufan smiled slightly, then said to "Professor Diram," "Professor Diram, you are quite familiar with Warlock and the others over there, so I'll trouble you to come with me! Please also bring a few students with us; that would show more sincerity."

Upon hearing this, "Professor Diram" nodded and said, "Okay, no problem."

As she spoke, she turned to the people behind her and said, "Then the three of you come with us!"

The three replied in unison, "Yes."

“Old Principal,” just as Chao Bufan and the others were about to leave, the real Principal George Tertto suddenly walked over, but hesitated for a moment as if he wanted to say something, before finally speaking, “You’d better be careful!”

Chao Bufan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm going there as an envoy to negotiate. I doubt they'd dare do anything to us."

“That being said,” said Jobrida, “the situation is special right now, so you should still be extra careful.”

"Yeah, I know."

After saying this, Chao Bufan raised his magic wand, blinked, and they disappeared from the spot.

Somewhere in the Magic Forest, Headmaster Smith, Professor Warlock, and all the leaders of the Magic Academy stood together, their faces calm as they watched the battle unfold before them—a massive clash of magical beasts.
