Chapter 578 – The Returning City
Somewhere in Daxia.
”Eh?”
Wang Mian, who was searching for a certain “mysterious” whereabouts, suddenly raised his head and looked somewhere.
”What’s wrong, Captain?” Beside him, Whirlpool asked with some confusion.
”Nothing.”
King Face looked in that direction for a long time and shook his head, “It’s probably an illusion ……”
Rose shrugged, “Happy for nothing, I thought, Captain, you found the whereabouts of that ‘mystery’ ……”
”It’s only just started investigating, it’s not that fast.” Wang Mian spoke helplessly, “It’s not like I’m a god.”
”Soon enough soon enough.” Tian Ping broke his fingers and counted up, “Right now captain you are the peak of ‘Klein’, stepping into the human ceiling realm is only a matter of these two years, when the time comes a little more chance and coincidence, in case you break that ceiling, aren’t you a god?”
”…… How am I that powerful.”
”Captain, you can’t be modest, you’re the first genius of Da Xia that’s hard to come by in decades!”
”What about Lin Qiye?”
”Eh …… Captain, you’re a second day talent that’s hard to come across in Great Xia for decades!”
”……”
”When the captain becomes a god, we’ll be the first special squad in Da Xia to have a god sitting on it.” Whirlpool’s eyes gradually brightened, “At that time, if we want to take a leave of absence, would the Night’s Watch hierarchy dare not approve it?”
”Makes sense.” Tian Ping nodded thoughtfully.
He turned back and solemnly patted Wang Mian’s shoulder, “Cheer up captain, we can only rely on you for all of our vacation freedom!”
Wang Mian: ……
”Don’t be poor with me here.” Wang Mian gently tapped his head with the sheath of his sword, “If we don’t pull out this ‘mystery’ today, no one is allowed to sleep!”
Great Summer Border.
Misty.
Chen Han protected the heart and stood at the edge of the shattered city, frowning as he looked at the hazy mists in front of him, his face stony.
”Senior Chen Han, that is ……,” Lu Yu turned his head to look at Chen Han.
Just a moment ago, the seawater of this entire sea was like it had come to life, and although there was a hazy mist covering the two of them and they couldn’t see exactly what had happened, they could still see the huge whirlpool that had appeared in the sea below their feet.
How could such a huge whirlpool appear for no reason at all?
Something must have happened on their side!
Chen Han took a deep breath and slowly spoke, ”What happened in the mists, we can’t intervene at all, now we just need to follow what they said, protect the heart, and return to Daxia with this city ……
A few of them are not ordinary people, it’s not that easy for something to happen to them.”
Lu Yu’s eyes were filled with worry, but he could only nod his head and sit in place.
Time passed bit by bit, as the shattered city advanced, they could vaguely see that the mist in front of them looked like a cliff had appeared, a large amount of dense mist piled up, completely restricting their vision.
It was as if there was an invisible glass plate that blocked out all the mists, and these blocked mists piled up in front of the glass plate, clearly outlining a line that seemed to be boundless, extending to the other side of the sky.
This was the borderline of Great Xia.
”We’re arriving.”
Chen Han’s gaze complicated when he saw the line.
From being robbed out of Da Xia by the Wind God and entering the mists, to the Sword Saint’s descent and the sword’s beheading of the gods, to the Fifth Special Squad’s lifting of the sword to open up the road and its mysterious disappearance ……Their emotions, which should have been ecstatic at returning home, were at this moment heavy and incomparably heavy.
They came back ……
But, only they came back.
At this moment, behind the border line.
Dozens of military airplanes swept across the sky, circling around the misty border, each dispersing along the border line as if they were searching for something.
”Eagle 1 no abnormalities seen.”
”Eagle 2 no abnormalities seen.”
”Eagle 3 ……”
Right at this moment, an airplane swept over a certain part of the borderline, and the pilot’s afterglow swept over the misty fence in the distance, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
Only to see that behind the misty fog, a huge black shadow was gradually approaching, as if it was soon going to pierce through that misty fence and appear within the border ……
”This is Eagle 9, abnormalities detected.”
Soon, another voice rang out from the channel.
”Eagle 9, what do you see?”
The pilot was about to open his mouth when the giant black shadow gradually flew out from within the mists, a corner of the street appeared in the sky first, and then, a huge city shrouded within the ethereal light slowly unfolded its full appearance.
Dazzling mists spewed out beyond the ghostly light, and with the appearance of this city, the entire sea was shrouded in shadow.
Eagle 9 stared blankly at this scene for a long time, and opened his mouth somewhat hoarsely:
”A city ……”
”What?”
”I saw a city …… on a sword.” He narrowed his eyes to the very front of this city, “At the very front of this city, there are also two men wearing dark red cloaks standing.”
As his words fell, in the sky above his head, a flash of ghostly light instantly pierced through the void and stood in front of this shattered city.
He was clad in black imperial robes, holding a slowly rotating silver sphere in his hands, standing in the void, his eyes staring tightly at the shattered city in front of him, which was shrouded in ethereal light.
”Back …….”
He looked at the city and muttered.
Then, his gaze caught sight of the two figures standing before the city, and his eyes slightly condensed.
He stopped where he was for a long time, he flipped his palm and put away that silver sphere, then his figure took a step out and flashed into the city as a ghostly light.
Broken City.
A ghostly light flashed by, and a middle-aged man wearing an old military coat full of grease stains, messy hair, and deep eyes suddenly appeared on the empty streets.
His hands were in his pockets, and his eyes swept over the surroundings as if he was looking for something.
”Is it there ……”
A moment later, he took another step and directly flashed to the entrance of an underground garage.
He took a step towards the underground garage.
In the underground garage, there were a large number of Anta County residents lying peacefully and quietly, their eyes tightly closed, their brows furrowed, and their faces still slightly pale, as if they were having a nightmare.
Around them, neatly staggered, were burning fireplaces, their bright flames dancing in the darkness, warm and reassuring, and on several of them, thick blankets.
He stood silently at the entrance to the underground garage, watching the scene before him, a slight smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.
He took a step and walked quietly and silently amongst these sleeping residents.
Every step fell, there is a faint ethereal aura that flashed out from under his military coat and flew into the body of the sleeping residents on the side, and the moment this ethereal aura was integrated into their bodies, their souls that were injured by the astral winds were rapidly repaired, and their pale faces gradually regained their blood, and their tightly wrinkled brows slowly loosened up…….
Sleeping, their faces were no longer uneasy and fearful, and they entered a peaceful and restful dreamland.
