Chapter 89 - Wave After Wave
Chapter 89: Wave After Wave
At the same time, the other people in the Capital had also noticed the strange movements.
Although Bai Haoyu had left, he had not yet left the outskirts, so he had also noticed the strange movements.
The members of the Bai Clan by his side opened their mouths wide. “Young, Young Master, look over there. is that a swarm of insects?”
They were quite far away, so they could only see countless black dots flying across the sky. They were like black clouds that disappeared in the blink of an eye.
However, they could see that these dots were coming out of Sword Mountain.
“Since when did so many insects appear in Sword Mountain?”
Hearing this, Bai Haoyu could not help but give him a slap. “Those aren’t insects at all.”
Bai Haoyu’s brows were tightly knitted. His gaze fell on the spot where the black clouds had disappeared. As a refiner, his intuition told him that something very special was happening.
The powerful Sword Intent emitted from those black clouds could be felt even from such a distance!
He narrowed his eyes and his expression gradually became serious. “That direction — isn’t that the location of the weapon refining competition?!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Haoyu’s expression changed slightly. He suddenly turned around and returned the way he came, causing the members of the Bai Clan to be very puzzled.
“Young Master, what’s going on? Didn’t you say that you would return to the Bai Clan and come back when there’s news from Green Lotus Princess?”
“A major change has occurred in the weapon refining field. I have to go back and take a look.”
He had a faint premonition that this change might have something to do with Gu Xi.
...
At this moment, on the other side of the Capital.
The towering city walls stretched endlessly through the entire Capital. If one were to stand at the highest point and look down on the city walls, they would be like a sleeping ancient dragon entrenched in this piece of land.
The west side mountains were lush and green. The north side was covered in snow all year round, and the white peaks seemed to be able to take in the beauty of the four seasons.
Within the city walls stood the majestic imperial city. Each piece of green tile and brick was filled with a silent history. Standing in the wind and rain for thousands of years, it had always been like the most powerful guardian, guarding everything in the Capital.
A beautiful figure suddenly appeared on the city walls. Surprisingly, it was Green Lotus Princess, who had left the arena earlier. There was clearly no one by her side, but she suddenly spoke to the air. “What happened for you to send me back so urgently?”
The spiritual energy fluctuations in the air distorted for a moment, as if there was really a person standing beside her.
“Something has happened to the east side. The people we sent over have sent news that there are some problems regarding Secret Realms. It is extremely unstable and appears more and more frequently. Although it is a mirage, it should only be a few days before it appears.”
Green Lotus Princess’s expression changed slightly. “How is that possible?! The Primal Chaos Secret Realm only appears every hundred years. It has only been a few decades since the last time it appeared. How can it appear so soon now...”
“I trust the information from our people. Even if they tried their best to cover it up, they would not be able to hide it. I believe that those super sects and clans have also received the news and will take action soon.”
Green Lotus Princess could not help but sigh. “Then what do you want me to do?”
“I’m afraid that you’ll have to personally make a trip this time to bring that thing back.”
Seeing that her expression was calm, that voice continued to speak. However, this time, it sounded a little sterner and commanding.
“That thing is extremely important to the imperial family. It’s even related to the rise and fall of the imperial family. So no matter what, no matter the price you have to pay, you must bring it back.”
Who would be able to order Green Lotus Princess around when she had such a prestigious status?
At this moment, there was a hint of guilt and helplessness in the voice. “I’m sorry. As a Princess, this is a responsibility that you must bear and can not shirk.”
After a long while, Green Lotus Princess finally spoke, “Alright, I understand.”
However, her beautiful eyes focused as if she had sensed something. Her gaze fell on the southernmost part of the city wall. That was the outskirts of the capital, where Sword Mountain was located.
She and the voice spoke almost at the same time, “Not good, there’s something strange over at the Sword Mountain!”
It could be said that one wave had yet to be pacified and another wave had risen.
Many other people also keenly sensed the strange phenomenon in the Sword Mountain and rushed toward the direction of the weapon Refining arena.
...
When the people in the arena saw that Gu Xi did not move at all, they could not help but sink into complete despair. Gu Xi did not even glance at them. They were afraid that this place would be their burial ground today.
Looking at the countless divine weapons close at hand, they gave up on struggling. Even if the others knew about the strange movements here, it would be too late by the time the rescue arrived. Not even their ashes would remain.
However, the expected pain did not come.
Boom!
Accompanied by a deafening sound, a few people mustered up their courage and opened their eyes. Not far away, a huge sword was inserted into the ground. This was like a signal, and all the flying swords in the sky fell to the ground.
The weapons were arranged in an extremely orderly manner, as if they were waiting for the king to inspect them.
The people who had just escaped a calamity had an inexplicable urge to laugh when they saw the scene in front of them.
Unexpectedly, these flying swords were quite far away from Gu Xi. There was a path in the middle that had been deliberately left empty.
After the crisis was resolved, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, they realized that after passing through these flying swords, the sword formation that had been cleverly formed around them had been completely destroyed, giving them a chance to escape.
Someone could not help but swallow his saliva. “Should we go?”
It was not easy for them to have a chance to escape, but at this moment, they were in a state of hesitation. They could see that it was not Gu Xi who had deliberately targeted them, but the weapon that he had forged had caused the phenomenon.
These people had a faint premonition that the object that would be born later would be beyond their imagination.
After all, there were so many flying swords in Sword Mountain.
“Looking at these swords, they seem to be from the periphery or the central region of Sword Mountain.”
