As he spoke, He Caitou started to get busy again. He installed soul tool after soul tool in every corner of the room.
What he didnt know was that his reputation as the Origin of Destruction would start to beco notable after this mission, and he would also beco one of most well-known fighting soul engineers on the continent.
Jing Ziyan was also busy. At this point, she was in her own room, adjusting her storage-type soul tool. At tis, she would retrieve items that looked like stones.
These stones werent very eye-catching, and they were only slightly bigger than an adult mans fist. However, Jing Ziyan was very careful, because she had once witnessed how destructive these stones were.
Ji Juechen was sitting on a chair not far away, and silently watched her as she busied herself. He suddenly said, Can you stop smiling?
Jing Ziyan was shocked, and a stone in her hand suddenly slipped. Jing Ziyan hurriedly reached out and grabbed it again. After that, she patted her chest and said, Hey, can you not scare when Im dealing with these things? If they explode, well be critically hurt, if we dont die!
I just couldnt take it anymore. Furthermore, I rembered Huo Yuhao said before that they have to be detonated. Even if they drop on the ground, they wont explode, Ji Juechen said.
Jing Ziyan snorted. What cant you take anymore? Even if it wont explode, we need to be careful. Its better to be safe. Its not like youve ever seen the strength of these things.
Ji Juechen said, I couldnt take your expression anymore. Do you know how sinister you looked earlier? You looked just like a little fox.
Jing Ziyan snapped, Youre more like a little fox. Have you ever seen a little fox carrying a bunch of bombs? Eh, why are you so talkative today? Its not like you.
As she spoke, she picked up a few of the bombs before she turned around and looked suspiciously at Ji Juechen.
Ji Juechens cold expression suddenly changed, and Jing Ziyan was shocked. Is he embarrassed? Or is he being shy?
Heavens! Whats wrong with you, Juechen? Are you sick? Jing Ziyan walked towards him as she spoke.
Stop! Ji Juechen suddenly shouted.
Jing Ziyan imdiately stopped and gave him a doubtful look.
Im fine, Im not sick. Ji Juechen smacked his own forehead, as if he were trying to calm himself down.
Then whats wrong with you? Jing Ziyan stared at him doubtfully.
Ji Juechen lowered his head and seed to be thinking of sothing. Fortunately, this didnt last very long. He suddenly lifted his head again and said to Jing Ziyan, Ziyan, how long have we known each other?
Oh, several years already. We got to know each other when no one was willing to interact with you when you first entered the Academy. Back then, you were only admitted to the Academy to make up the numbers. After that, you found a suitable path, and I watched you progress to where you are now. Why?
Ji Juechens gaze suddenly beca determined. Lets get together.
Jing Ziyan was confused as she said, Havent we always been together? However, she was stunned when she looked at Ji Juechens eyes clearly. Three of the stones in her hand fell out and crashed to the ground.
It did prove that the stones wouldnt explode. However, Jing Ziyans expression was extrely terrified at this mont. She was frozen in disbelief, and couldnt imagine what was happening to her right now. Her expression perfectly displayed how she was feeling.
You, what are you speak clearly, what do you an? Jing Ziyans voice was trembling uncontrollably, as if the most terrifying thing in this world had happened to her.
Ji Juechen lowered his head again, and didnt dare to look her in the eyes. He muttered, I said that we should get together. You are right. Weve known each other for years, and youve always been by my side helping , encouraging and taking care of . Although I never once comnted on any of it, I know it in my heart.
After Huo Yuhao unleashed his three skills that day, I realized that Ive been detached from this world for too long. There shouldnt just be swords in my world, because swords cant help reach the peak that Ive always wanted to reach. I should be like a normal person. I should have relationships. I only know one lady, and that is you. In addition, I feel like I can only think of you. Lets get together, shall we?
As he raised his head again, Jing Ziyan saw a trace of anticipation and nervousness in his eyes.
Im not pretty. Jing Ziyan seed to grit her teeth as she said these few words. Her eyes were already on the verge of tearing up at this mont.
You are the only lady in my eyes. You are just like my sword. Also, do you think Im very concerned about your beauty?
Jing Ziyan shifted her head to one side and tried to stop her tears from flowing.
Im not gentle, either. Im competitive, and I like to fight! I might beat you up at any ti!
Those are precisely the reasons why we should get together. Ji Juechen seed to beco a little tense. Areare you willing? He started to seem a little depressed right now.
This was probably the most he had spoken in the past ten years, and it was also the day where his mood had experienced the greatest changes. At this mont, he suddenly realized that his sword intent had t so kind of problem. It was as if it had been punctured by so ridiculous thing.
Jing Ziyan raised her head, and her tears flowed down her cheeks. Heaven! Youve finally opened your eyes.
When she looked at Ji Juechen again, her gaze had already turned sharp. She took one step forward and ca over in front of him. After this, she sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. They looked into each others eyes at this close distance.
From this mont onwards, you are my man. You cant turn back, and theres no ti limit. Do you know how long Ive been waiting for this day? From today onwards, Yuhao is my benefactor. Scoundrel!
Her tears flowed again, but she kissed his lips as if she had gone crazy, and held tightly onto his head. Her tears also flowed onto his face in an instant.
Ji Juechen was stupefied, completely stupefied. He only felt a force that he had never experienced or imagined before coming from Jing Ziyans body. This force had nothing to do with her soul power or fighting, but it struck his heart with an unprecedented montum. His sword intent lted at this point. Jing Ziyans slightly salty yet soft lips, and the inexperienced kiss that she planted on his lips, lit a fire in his heart.
Gradually, Ji Juechen recovered from his shock. His hands wrapped around Jing Ziyans waist as he hugged her tightly. He started to be the active one. While he was as inexperienced as Jing Ziyan, he was more aggressive and offensive as he sensed that force.
His love was like his sword they both needed a flash of realization. Just like Jing Ziyan had said, he had finally gotten it right. The feelings that he had been keeping in his heart for so long had finally erupted, and they couldnt be stopped.
In this perilous city, they had finally taken that defining step, and removed the thin barrier between them.
Huo Yuhao, Xu Sanshi and Ye Guyi arrived at the south end of the city. They were less than fifty ters from the south wall.
It was noon, and the three of them found a small, ordinary restaurant to dine at. This restaurant also fit their status according to their dress.
After ordering a few small dishes, they started to eat their lunch.
Huo Yuhao was sitting in a corner of the restaurant, Xu Sanshi sat next to him, while Ye Guyi sat opposite him. It was very difficult for anyone to notice him.
He unleashed his Spiritual Detection, and directed it underground. It drilled through the ground like a sharp awl.
Penetrating the city wall to survey the area beyond it would take a toll on his spiritual power, while going over the city wall would change the direction of his spiritual power, which would make it difficult to control. Thus, Huo Yuhao chose to go underground.
The south wall was indeed more tightly guarded than other places in the city. As Huo Yuhao scanned upward, he discovered that there were more thermal and soul power detectors here than at the northern city gate.
Furthermore, there were also a few hidden offensive soul tools above this wall. The outer periter was tightly guarded.
Huo Yuhao kept on moving his spiritual power diagonally downward. The foundation of the city wall only reached a depth of ten ters. After ten ters, Huo Yuhaos spiritual power managed to extend beneath it.
As he ranged further underground, he exhausted his spiritual power greatly. It was only because of his imnse spiritual cultivation that he was able to unleash such strong spiritual power and control.
After reaching close to thirty ters underground, Huo Yuhao felt less resistance to his spiritual power as it entered water.
City moat. This has to be the city moat.
Huo Yuhao was delighted, and continue to move his Spiritual Detection down. At the sa ti, he also moved it further to either side.
The water was a little polluted, but the senses from his spiritual power were detached from his body. They werent like his vision.
Very soon, Huo Yuhaos spiritual power had swept more than fifty ters of polluted water, but he didnt discover anything. There was only silt at the bottom of the moat. With his spiritual power, he could only go ten ters below the layer of silt before he started to feel dizzy.
Huo Yuhao lifted his head and shut his eyes slightly. He took a deep breath to soothe his spiritual power.
How is it? Xu Sanshi asked softly.
Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, I cant. Theres too big of an area to survey. The length of the south wall is quite extensive. I can only search slowly. Third senior, cover . Ill try to use my Eye of Destiny. Perhaps Ill be able to sense more that way.
Alright.
Huo Yuhao gulped down a glass of clear water in front of him before he placed his elbows on the table. His palms were naturally supporting his forehead, but covered the center of it.
His Eye of Destiny opened. When it opened, Xu Sanshi and Ye Guyi had a feeling that Huo Yuhao was illusory. A strange aura ca from his head, but this feeling only lasted for an instant. However, they could still clearly see that Huo Yuhao had beco different even scarier.
Huo Yuhao unleashed his spiritual power again, the penetrative abilities of his spiritual power a few tis stronger now. In a matter of seconds, he entered the moat once again.
Under his control, his spiritual power swept its surroundings and covered a greater area.
He couldnt do this all day. After all, it wasnt possible to construct anything under this layer of silt. Furthermore, Feng Lings words werent very clear, and he wasnt able to determine the actual location of the water prison. From what Feng Ling had ntioned, he only recalled three useful phrases south wall, city moat, and water prison.
As he scanned his surroundings, he soon reached two hundred ters in distance. As the area that he covered grew, he was able to detect more things with the help of his Eye of Destiny.
He slowly sensed traces of a gloomy, despondent aura. This feeling ca mostly from the eastern end of the south wall. He quickly shifted the direction of his Spiritual Detection. Indeed, this despondent feeling beca stronger and stronger the more he moved east.
The draw on his spiritual power kept on increasing, and Huo Yuhao called to the Skydream Iceworm, Brother Skydream, give a hand.
Skydreams lazy voice sounded in his spiritual sea. Okay.
The ring on Huo Yuhaos finger that the Skydream Iceworm had changed into lost its glow. In Huo Yuhaos spiritual sea, the Skydream Iceworm surfaced, and slowly released the strength of his pure spiritual origin into Huo Yuhaos spiritual sea. Suddenly, Huo Yuhaos spiritual power beca much stronger.
His spiritual power continued to move east, and he finally found sothing suspicious.
It was at a position around three hundred ters to his east, and around three ters below the river bank close to this side of the south wall. There was an iron fence which was constructed out of thick, fine iron. The despondent and gloomy aura ca from there, which ant it either had to be the entrance and exit of the water prison, or an opening for the flow of water into or out of the water prison.
Huo Yuhao heaved a sigh of relief after making this discovery. There were finally clues.
He quickly retracted his Spiritual Detection and shut his Eye of Destiny.
Just this short while had caused his spiritual power to be greatly drained. If not for the fact that it was already in the concrete-immaterial realm, he wouldnt have been able to take it.
Lets go. Lets take a walk. Huo Yuhao secretly signaled to Xu Sanshi and Ye Guyi before they quickly settled the bill and left the restaurant. After that, they proceeded towards the south wall.
