Sword God in a World of Magic

The Inquisitor put a chain around the commander's body and woke him up.

The commander was confused for a second, but he quickly remembered where he was.

He jumped up with all of his power and tried to break the chain, but after the Inquisitor pulled lightly on it, the commander fell powerlessly to the ground.

When the commander noticed the Inquisitor, his face became white, and his world broke down.

He knew that he was in deep trouble.

"There is no information regarding who requested the mission or who put the bounty on your head," the Inquisitor said to Shang.

Shang only nodded without answering. He had expected that.

"The only thing I could find out was that the mission was put up inside the Empress Cobra Zone, but that doesn't exactly narrow it down," the Inquisitor said.

Shang already knew that it was the Wilburys.

"Thank you," Shang answered absentmindedly.

The Inquisitor nodded and left with the Ice Adept and the commander.

Shang remained on this spot for a bit longer, lost in thought, but a couple of minutes later, Shang decided to return to the Storm Eagle Zone.

'The matter with the Wilburys is over for now, but I have to be careful of where I go. Zero's bounty isn't openly displayed everywhere, and not everyone knows that I am Zero, but there might still be several people interested in me.'

'Even if only 1% of people are interested in my head, that would still be over ten True Mages in Duke Whirlwind's territory.'

'At least I don't have to hide inside Warrior's Paradise anymore. Warriors below the Commander Stage and nearly all Adepts are no longer a danger to me. The locations of warriors at the Commander Stage and True Mages are tracked, and as long as they don't want to be hunted by absolutely everyone, they won't make a move.'
