Xie Feng took out the Dark Ink Fan and handed it to Jin Yue.
Jin Yue approached the man, suddenly smiled, and the next second, bang, she slapped him on the head, knocking him unconscious.
Jin Yue said, "I'm sorry, we're worried about you. Why don't you get some rest for a few days?"
As he spoke, Dark Ink Fan, and wisps of energy surged out, transforming into a rope that bound the man tightly.
The fan moved.
The man then swiftly flew into a ditch.
Having resolved their concerns, they returned the way they came and arrived at White Rainbow Bridge.
As soon as Xie Feng stepped onto the bridge, he felt immense pressure coming from all directions, forcing him to move forward.
Jin Yue felt the same way!
Xie Feng took out the invitation and waved it in the air.
brush!
The surrounding pressure vanished instantly!
It really was because of the invitations!
Those who do not present an invitation will find that the White Rainbow Bridge automatically activates its defense mode upon stepping onto it.
With the invitation, they passed through nine lines of defense without difficulty.
We walked until we reached the end of the White Rainbow Bridge.
That vast, desolate land!
The two stood one in front of the other, their heads tilted back, gazing at the vast earth.
Buzz...
Suddenly, a faint sound arose.
As the dazzling light shattered in the air, a vertical crack suddenly appeared in the space in front of the two, like a narrow door.
A sliver of light appeared between heaven and earth!
A dazzling light appeared, drawing Xie Feng and his companion through the gate and leading them into the mysterious realm of Peak of Heaven!
Their figures appeared in a vast region, with boundless grasslands stretching before them. At the edge of their vision, towering snow-capped Snow Peak joined together to form an endless, winding mountain range, Divine Saint and awe-inspiring.
Seeing this scene, Xie Feng was deeply shocked.
When he first saw the Peak of Heaven in the illusion, this was exactly what it looked like!
The scenery is exactly the same!
His vow, made years ago, to come here sooner or later, has now been fulfilled!
Before us stood those majestic, powerful Snow Peak!
Many people and many things are connected to this place...
Perhaps this journey will uncover some earth-shattering secret...
Seeing the shock in Xie Feng's eyes, Jin Yue carefully asked, "You've been so determined to come here, is it because you have some connection with Peak of Heaven?"
Xie Feng shook his head. "I'm not familiar with this place, but I had to come. I need to uncover the truth!"
Jin Yue said, "I will help you!"
Xie Feng smiled, "Thank you, Miss Jin Yue!"
Jin Yue shook her head and said, "It's not just for you, it's for myself too. There are some things I feel I have to confront them about, I have to make things clear, otherwise they'll think I'm easy to bully!"
Let's go!
Xie Feng gazed into the distance and strode forward.
Jin Yue pursed her lips, took a few quick steps, and followed.
One is like an avenger, the other like a puzzle solver.
Beneath the Peak of Heaven lies a vast and prosperous city-state, even larger than ten Ink Mysteries City combined.
As soon as they entered the city, they found themselves in a sea of prosperity.
"Last time I came here, I was also shocked by the crowds of people in this city. But what's even more shocking is that these people, Young Master Xie, take a closer look and see if there's anything strange about them?" Jin Yue blinked and chuckled.
Xie Feng looked around and pondered, "These people seem normal, moving freely. If there's anything strange about them... most of them don't possess any energy pressure, appearing more like ordinary people with no cultivation. What's strange is that at least a million ordinary people live at the foot of Peak of Heaven, the largest power in the Fifth Universe. This is very puzzling!"
Jin Yue smiled and said, "You're so clever. You immediately spotted the problem. Actually, these people are all refugees from various places taken in by Peak of Heaven. They first take them in, then educate and assimilate them. Over several generations, they've become extremely loyal to Peak of Heaven. Peak of Heaven provides them with a place to live, and they provide their labor."
"So, Feng Yan, the master of Peak of Heaven, is actually a kind-hearted person?" Xie Feng raised an eyebrow.
"No! It is Feng Xuan who has a kind heart! Taking in refugees was something Feng Xuan did while in power. After Feng Yan ascended the throne, he had many complaints about these refugees and always wanted to demolish the city at the foot of the mountain."
When Feng Yan was mentioned, Jin Yue didn't even bother to pretend to be disgusted.
Xie Feng nodded. "I see."
Jin Yue said, "Let's not talk about that. It's unlucky to mention Feng Yan so early in the morning. Look, there are stalls on both sides. Let's take a look."
The bustling street is lined with various shopping malls and small stalls on both sides. These stall owners are unpretentious; they simply spread a cloth on the ground, place the items to be bought on it, and sit down. Some of them call out their wares, while others do not.
"Buy whatever you like, it's on me!" Xie Feng said generously.
"Really?" Jin Yue raised an eyebrow.
"I'm rich!" Xie Feng waved his hand dismissively.
"Alright, then I'll cling to Mr. Xie's coattails!" Jin Yue smiled, her eyes narrowing, and looked around with great interest.
The street was very wide, and every few steps there was a well-connected intersection. The goods sold there were dazzling, covering everything from clothing and food to housing and transportation.
The two arrived at a stall selling weapons and all sorts of oddities. The stall was very simple, with a white cloth spread on the ground and the items piled up like a mountain.
The shop owner, dressed in gray and wearing a straw hat, sat cross-legged. His eyes were obscured by the hat, so it was impossible to tell whether he was looking at people or not; perhaps he was just peeking at customers with a sidelong glance.
Jin Yue crouched down, her eyes drawn to some strange little trinkets: a yellow-green gemstone ring shaped like a beetle, a water bag woven from dragon tendons, a bone bracelet...
Xie Feng's gaze fell upon some swords and blades. These weapons looked quite old, with rusty scabbards.
Suddenly, the Little Sword emitted a buzzing sound from within his Dantian!
"Brother! Brother!" Little Sword, who was rarely active before, suddenly logged on and started talking, as if his main account had been activated.
"???" Xie Feng frowned.
"I can feel its presence! Although it's extremely faint, I can't be mistaken! It's that chilling, winter-like presence! It's right in front of you, hurry and find it!" Little Sword urged impatiently.
Xie Feng knew what Little Sword was talking about.
It must be that beautiful sword that it can't forget.
Xie Feng looked around and saw a gleaming sword blade among a pile of rusty swords.
Xie Feng reached out to take it, somewhat surprised, but there was only the blade, no sword body or hilt!
Its entire body is a deep blue color, with a myriad of lusters, and it also has a sharp blade; it is a fragment of a sword!
"These are incomplete fragments of a sword; it must have been broken off by another sharp weapon during the battle."
Xie Feng analyzed.
"Oh no, my goddess is disfigured! Waaaaah..."
Little Sword felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and burst into tears.
The fragment felt cold to the touch. Upon closer inspection, Xie Feng could see blackened marks on the broken surface, as if it had been scorched by flames or lightning before unfortunately breaking.
