180: Black Sword and Black Mist

“To broaden your horizons.”

Liu Jiangyi said with a fake smile.

He didn't understand what he was supposed to do now, so how could he answer Ya Ya's question?

“Is there anything Ya Ya hasn't seen before?”

Ya Ya looked nonchalant.

Liu Jiangyi smiled but didn't speak, thinking that she would be shocked when she saw it later.

… …

The car drove for about an hour before finally arriving at the location from the video.

Before Liu Jiangyi could speak.

“This is what you meant by broadening my horizons?” Ya Ya exclaimed, “How can there be such black mist on Hongyuan Planet!?”

Liu Jiangyi, Jian San, and the others immediately looked at Ya Ya.

“You recognize this black mist?”

Ya Ya nodded, “I haven’t seen it with my own eyes, but my father described it to me, and its general shape should be like this.”

“This black mist isolates the Eastern Continent of Tianxuan Continent, preventing us from leaving and others from entering.”

Tianxuan Continent has it too?

Liu Jiangyi quickly pressed, “Are you sure it’s isolation, and not that all places beyond this black mist are just more black mist?”

“I'm sure.” Ya Ya nodded, “Because we have personally seen people emerge from the black mist. That person’s strength was terrifying; he shattered an entire city with just one palm strike.”

“However, that person was already heavily injured when he emerged from the black mist. Both the Human Race and my Beast King Clan have sent scouts into the black mist, but none have returned. So, we suspect that one will lose their sense of direction upon entering, and if one forces their way through, they will be severely injured.”

Liu Jiangyi frowned, nodded thoughtfully, and asked in return, “Then do you know the reason for the formation of this black mist?”

“That much I don’t know, but this black mist didn’t exist before the Dimensional Disaster descended.”

“Are you certain?”

“Of course!” Ya Ya pouted, “Our Beast King Clan migrated from another continent. I don’t know about Hongyuan Planet, but back then, the five continents of Tianxuan Continent were all connected.”

Liu Jiangyi's expression grew more solemn.

This thing is actually related to the Dimensional Disaster?

But how could it affect Hongyuan Planet?

The Dimensional Disaster erupted on Hongyuan Planet. The reason for the Dimensional Beings on Hongyuan Planet was entirely due to the Upper City deliberately deploying them and leaks from the teleportation array.

Logically, this strange black mist shouldn't appear on Hongyuan Planet.

It doesn't make sense!

Liu Jiangyi pondered for a moment, then asked the several people, “Have the people who went in not come out yet?”

A man with red-rimmed eyes nodded, “Our captain has been in there for over twenty hours, and there’s still no news.”

“True God, what do you think we should do?” Jian San patted his chest, “How about I go in and take a look? My strength is a bit higher, so perhaps I can find some clues.”

“No!” Liu Jiangyi shook his head in refusal, “This black mist is incredibly strange; no one should rush in.”

Neither the Beast King Clan nor the people of Tianxuan Continent understood the origin of this black mist.

Wouldn't Jian San going in be a pointless sacrifice?

Liu Jiangyi distanced himself, drew his longsword, gathered strength in his right hand, and unleashed a powerful Sword Drawing Strike towards the black mist.

This move was grand and imposing, with Sword Qi spanning dozens of feet.

But when the Sword Qi struck the black mist, it was like a clay ox entering the sea, vanishing without a trace and failing to stir even a ripple.

“Don’t waste your energy. Even my father couldn’t see through this black mist; you shouldn’t even try.”

Ya Ya’s tone carried a hint of disdain.

In her opinion, no matter how powerful Liu Jiangyi was, he couldn’t possibly be stronger than her father.

“What Realm is your father?” Liu Jiangyi pressed.

When he first met Hei Yun, Liu Jiangyi's Realm was too low to discern Hei Yun's Realm.

Ya Ya said proudly, “My father is a Peak Great Martial God expert!”

“That powerful?”

Liu Jiangyi was surprised.

“Of course! Otherwise, how do you think my Beast King Clan could coexist peacefully with dozens of human cities? My father is amazing!”

Liu Jiangyi suddenly understood.

No wonder Ya Ya wasn't worried about Hei Yun. In her eyes, her father was already the strongest man on Tianxuan Continent; no one could kill him.

But what she didn't know was that Chen Yuan had already reached the Acquired Realm.

If the Immortal Sword Sect's assessment of Chen Yuan's strength was merely a guess before.

Liu Jiangyi, who had personally witnessed Chen Yuan kill a Great Martial God expert, was 100% certain that Chen Yuan was in the Acquired Realm.

He's a formidable opponent!

A hint of gloom settled in Liu Jiangyi's heart.

With Chen Yuan being so strong, his plan to counterattack Tianxuan Continent wouldn't be so smooth.

Suddenly, Liu Jiangyi thought of something.

He looked at Ya Ya and said, “Let me see your father’s sword.”

“What do you want it for?”

Ya Ya clutched her qiankun bag and took a few steps back.

This sword was a keepsake her father left for her; she herself was reluctant to take it out and use it, so how could she let Liu Jiangyi mess with it?

Even if she had kissed him, it was still a no!

“You misunderstood me. I’m not going to mess with it. I mean, do you feel that the Qi of this black mist is very similar to the Qi on your father’s sword?”

Sword?

Ya Ya was stunned, then took out her father’s completely black precious sword.

Indeed!

The precious sword emitted wisps of black mist that were not only exactly the same as the Qi of this black mist, but could even be said to be the same thing!

Liu Jiangyi was overjoyed!

He quickly took the longsword and then tried to infuse Spiritual Qi into it.

Buzz ~

The longsword began to tremble, and dense black mist surged out.

The next moment.

The black mist wall in front of them seemed to resonate with something, accelerating its creeping, and then an oval-shaped doorway appeared!

The doorway stretched far into the darkness, its exit unseen.

“This sword is actually the key to opening this black mist!”

Liu Jiangyi was overjoyed.

Anyone who wasn't a fool could see that this longsword could affect the black mist.

“Let’s go, let’s go in and see!”

Liu Jiangyi didn't hesitate at all, taking the sword and preparing to leave.

“True God, no!”

Jian San quickly tried to stop him, “This black mist is extremely strange, and entering rashly could be dangerous. True God is the pillar of our Hongyuan Planet; let your subordinate handle this pathfinding.”

“You?” Liu Jiangyi decisively shook his head, “Your strength is not enough. If even I cannot enter smoothly, it’s even less possible for you.”

“Besides, your lives are also lives, just as precious as my Liu Jiangyi’s.”

Just as precious?

These four words deeply moved Jian San and the others behind him.

They hadn't expected True God to care so much about them.

Their resolve to dedicate their lives to Liu Jiangyi grew even stronger.

Liu Jiangyi was speaking the truth; the people of Hongyuan Planet were his compatriots, and their lives were also lives. Unless absolutely necessary, Liu Jiangyi would not let them sacrifice themselves casually.

Of course, the most important thing was.

How could just anyone wield the precious sword left by Hei Yun?

“Then we’ll go in with you!”

Seeing Liu Jiangyi about to enter, Jian San and the others quickly followed.

Liu Jiangyi pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

The situation inside was unpredictable, and having more people might not be a bad thing.
