"The broadsword is handsome!"
"The broadsword really is handsome!"
After Xiao City and Xiao Yun returned and met Hongjun and the others, everyone blurted it out. They could not help smiling at one another; everything was understood without words.
After Hegemon and Xiao Yun studied it over and over, they decided to add that second line to the code phrase, making it seem safer.
From then on, whenever Eternal powerhouses met, one would say the first line and the other would reply with the second, or vice versa. If anyone answered incorrectly, they would immediately draw their blades and kill them—or run.
"I'll be taking a trip into the Endless Darkness soon. I'll leave Xiao City to you."
After informing Hongjun and the others, Xiao Yun went into the Endless Darkness to pretend to hunt True Beast Kings.
Next, he would need to enter the Eternal Furnace many times to deduce Eternal ultimate arts. Naturally, he had to find a source for his large supply of Reality Crystals. He could not exactly sit at home and have heaps of Reality Crystals fall from the sky.
Moreover, Xiao Yun intended to give Moon a Reality Crystal while he was at it. He had promised Tai this long ago, and it was time to fulfill that promise.
Speaking of which, Moon had also tempered herself in the Endless Darkness for more than a hundred Chaos eras. Xiao Yun rather missed this old friend.
After all, she was the first friend he had made after arriving in the Eternal Nation.
In the Endless Darkness, Moon faced an Eternal powerhouse from afar.
"The broadsword is handsome!"
"..."
The Eternal powerhouse opposite her said nothing. He merely watched Moon with a smile, kindness shining in his eyes.
Moon's pupils contracted, and she turned to flee.
