Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Holy Spirit Water, Thunderstrike's Ambitions



What Cand-Dragon shared didn't offer much help-it was all common knowledge.

John couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

"I know some information," Storm suddenly spoke up. "I tried to escape before. I managed to get out of Dragon Ascending City, but I was caught by a group of black-robed men who practice dark magic. Those guys were powerful-I'd never seen anyone like them before."

"Black magicians? Celestial Vault people?" Avis exclaimed. Storm's description sounded very much like the black magicians from Celestial Vault.

John furrowed his brows and asked, "Does Dragon Ascending City have ties with Celestial Vault?"

"Celestial Vault? What's that?" Storm asked, confused. He had been trapped in Dragon Ascending City for a long time and hadn't had any contact with the outside world. He'd never heard of this organization.

He also hadn't encountered any of those black-robed individuals within the city.

John ignored his question. He felt certain that Dragon Ascending City was hiding something. "John, where's Xayah?" Sini asked, noticing that Xayah was absent.

"Hmm? She probably doesn't know I entered World-in-Hand," John replied, no longer dwelling on the matter. His thoughts shifted, and he left World-in-Hand, appearing at the entrance of the City Lord's Manor.

"Master!" As expected, Xayah was waiting outside and hurried over to greet him.

She had followed shortly after John left and, upon seeing him disappear, had figured out that he had entered World-in-Hand.

Seeing that Xayah hadn't been punished further, John nodded. "Let's find a place to stay for now."

He didn't want to remain in the City Lord's Manor.

"Alright." Xayah didn't stay in the manor either. She led John to a quiet, somewhat secluded courtyard.

This was where she resided. Though it was a bit barren, it was clean and tidy.
