Amid the boundless clouds and mist, a streak of light suddenly appeared.
Li Yun appeared before an imposing ancient city.
The entire city radiated dense Sword Intent, as though a world made entirely of swords lay hidden within it.
Even from afar, he could feel its powerful Sword Intent surging in and out, turning into invisible, rolling waves that seemed capable of swallowing everything in the world.
It was like an illusion, yet utterly real.
This was a Sword City comparable to an Ordinary Constant Sage!!
Wait?
Could this be one of the sword cities under the World-Shaking Sword Gate?
A city forged from swords, with a single city rivaling a Sage?
"Beixuan... huh?"
Startled, Li Yun instinctively turned to speak with Sage Beixuan, only to discover that he was gone.
Li Yun sent out his Divine Consciousness, but everything in every direction was hazy and indistinct. He could not sense Sage Beixuan's presence at all.
"Well, would you look at that... We've been separated?"
"If we're not together, hasn't Sage Beixuan's effort to bring me here to help gone to waste?"
Li Yun shook his head with a rueful smile and gave it no further thought.
Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it.
He did not stand around in front of the Sword City. Instead, he strode straight toward its gates.
The gates, originally shut tight, opened on their own as he approached, and Li Yun walked in.
Inside the city.
Crowds bustled to and fro, while carts and horses filled the streets.
Buildings lined both sides of the streets in orderly rows.
It was a magnificent scene of prosperity.
Yet for some reason, Li Yun still sensed something illusory about it. All the bustle and splendor before his eyes seemed like a mirage,
