1861 Report to Sect Master
Even now, when he thought of the small space and the scene of the sky opening up with fire burning, his heart trembled unwittingly. For some reason, he felt that his master really could do it!
Chu Liuyue’s eyelids twitched. “Okay, if you have the time to think of these things, why don’t you cultivate properly?! When something really happens to your space, and you don’t even have the ability to handle it, it will be too late for your heart to ache!”
San San agreed with grievances.
Cen Yi’s arrival finally made him calm down and cultivate.
Chu Liuyue walked to the chair at the side and sat down with one hand holding her chin.
Originally, she also wanted to continue cultivating. However, San San’s previous words triggered her thoughts.
She wasn’t worried about that small space’s safety. She was just wondering if there really was a relation between that small space and her black shield. If not, why would that kind of situation happen at that time?
Chu Liuyue held her breath in, looked down, and fell into deep thought.
In the beginning, she found that black shield unintentionally in a cave at Peach Blossom Dock. However, the position of that mountain was too isolated, and it didn’t even have a name.
Besides, countless battles erupted there later on, and the whole piece of land had almost been destroyed. It ceases to exist. I wonder if I can find any clues if I go over now… Thinking of this, Chu Liuyue summoned that black shield again.
The ancient black shield was deep and restrained. There were countless marks on it, showing that it had once experienced countless battles and bloodshed.
She stretched her hand out and slowly brushed it.
She left faint marks on the rusting area. If one didn’t examine it closely, it was hard to tell it apart.
Chu Liuyue tried to summon the force within, but the black shield still did not respond. It was as if the previous scene was just an illusion.
However, that scene clearly was not an illusion. Rong Xiu’s finger was even directly burned.
Chu Liuyue’s heart tingled slightly, and she glanced at Rong Xiu.
Rong Xiu seemed to have sensed something as he looked up.
The two of them stared at each other.
Chu Liuyue walked over. As she wasn’t paying attention, the black shield in her hand suddenly dropped!
Chu Liuyue was shocked and hurriedly retrieved it to hold it stably. Why does this shield feel even heavier than before?!
Chu Liuyue stared doubtfully at the item in her hands. When I summoned it previously, I directly held it in front of me, and it wasn’t obvious when I held it with both hands. But when I stood up this time, I habitually used my usual force. I almost lost my balance and fell onto the floor.
It isn’t an illusion. This item… really became heavier after the incident in that small space!
Strange… Chu Liuyue knitted her brows slightly. Ever since I obtained this black shield, it has been very convenient to use, and I have never had such a feeling.
One had to know that her skills back then couldn’t be compared to her current skills.
Her physical strength was definitely considered to be at the top among the strong warriors. If even she felt that it was heavy…
“What’s the matter?” Seeing the situation here, Rong Xiu stood up and walked over.
Chu Liuyue paused for a moment before shaking her head. “Nothing. I just feel that this item… seems different…”
As she spoke, she put away the black shield and held Rong Xiu’s hand again.
The red mark of being burned had already disappeared from his thin and white finger.
Rong Xiu curled his lips into a half-smile. “I said that there’s no need to worry about that small injury.”
However, Chu Liuyue still had some doubts in her heart.
She looked up and stared into Rong Xiu’s eyes. “You’re already a legendary warrior now. Logically speaking… you can’t be casually hurt. That ray of light back then, what exactly—”
Speaking of this, she suddenly paused. That was because even she didn’t know the answer.
Rong Xiu’s deep phoenix-like eyes shone slightly as if there were ripples in them, but they quickly disappeared. “If you’re still suspicious, let’s return to that small space after we leave this area and see what exactly is going on, okay?”
Chu Liuyue nodded lightly. That is perhaps the best solution for now.
…
This night, many people in Peach Blossom Dock couldn’t sleep. That was because the Blue Peak was still burning.
The originally tall mountain peak was disheveled.
Large patches of thick forest collapsed, and there were scorch marks everywhere.
When morning came again, many people started to panic when they saw that the fire had no signs of stopping.
This fire is burning even more intensely. When exactly is it going to stop?
…
“Deputy Sect Master, the batch that just went…. yet again…” A soldier came to report with a face filled with despair.
Mo Yun stared at Blue Peak tightly with clenched fists and a green face.
Including this batch, three batches of people sent by the Black Sword Sect were completely wiped out. The key was that quite a few of them were important people in the Black Sword Sect.
They had suffered greatly this time.
Even Mo Yun himself was not any better. He was very disheveled, with patches of bloodstains on his left shoulder. The corners of his clothes were also burned.
He was injured when he previously tried to suppress that fire.
“Deputy Sect Master, I’m afraid we can’t send any more people over… If this goes on, they will just go without returning. It doesn’t have much meaning to us!” At the side, Mo Lin still braced himself and advised him.
He knew that the deputy sect master wanted to solve this problem as soon as possible, but the key was that the current situation had long exceeded their previous expectations!
If they just blindly sent people over, what use would there be other than even more people dying? Hence, even if he knew that this would upset Mo Yun, Mo Lin still said it.
The person reporting quickly agreed. “Yeah! Deputy Sect Master, it’s not that we’re afraid and don’t dare to go up, but this matter… We really can’t do it head-on… Why don’t we change to another method—”
Mo Yun’s gaze coldly swept across. “Another method? So that means you have better advice?”
That person’s face flushed white. “No, no! I definitely don’t mean to offend you! I just f-feel that…”
His voice slowly became softer. That was because he also didn’t know what to do.
Mo Yun took a deep breath in and forcefully suppressed his anger. How could I not know about what they said? However, Blue Peak is too important.
He was agitated when he saw the fire shooting up to the sky and really couldn’t calm down. The cramps from Mo Yun’s body reminded him that he really could not take this head-on.
“Send my command down! Everyone to retreat!” Mo Yun’s voice was cold and deep. Now, the only thing we can do is perhaps observe the changes silently…
Mo Lin and the other person then finally heaved a sigh of relief. “Yes!”
The person reporting rushed over.
Mo Lin turned around to look at Mo Yun hesitantly. “Deputy Sect Master, why don’t… we report to the Sect master about this?”
Mo Yun turned around instantly, and his gaze was cold and deep.
