Chapter 774: Chapter 33 The Promise Once Made Chapter 774: Chapter 33 The Promise Once Made Li Minghu coughed a few tis, spat out the blood in her mouth, and then used the Flying Sword as a walking stick to support herself, leisurely walking forward.
Her ponytail had co undone behind her head, and she had no ti to re-tie it, her clothes were ragged and torn—clearly, she had suffered considerable damage in the previous battle. Many places still showed horrifying wounds and the blood that had already congealed.
Fortunately, it hadn’t begun to affect her movent.
The surrounding environnt appeared to be so kind of underground cavern, with many stalactites, stalagmites, and other natural marks of water erosion. Only the ground under her feet was sowhat smoothed and shaped into crude steps.
Reaching the end of the passage, she raised the torch in her hand high to see a stone giant sword imprisoned by huge chains in the distance, inscribed with four large characters from top to bottom:
True Obscurity Sword Sect.
The last character “Sect” was already subrged in darkness. Li Minghu bent down to check and discovered a very narrow path on the left side of the cliff. It was so slender that one could only walk by sticking close to the cliff face.
She tried Sword Flight but found that the Flying Sword was always suppressed at a height of about one or two ters.
This ant that if she accidentally stepped into the void while walking on the narrow path, even if she switched to Sword Control in ti, she wouldn’t fall to her death, but she would likely fall into an unknown place.
She still had to be careful.
After a mont of silence, Li Minghu took out her phone and started crafting a ssage.
Of course, there was no signal in the Mysterious Realm, so in theory, the other party definitely couldn’t receive it. But Li Minghu still casually hit send, as if the act itself—this fleeting and ethereal thought—provided her with support and the courage to keep going.
Then she took a deep breath and started moving down the narrow path, hugging the cliff wall.
————————————
Yan Yu led a team from the vicinity of Nanjiang, crossed the border, and eventually arrived at the Ma Gui region, which was the last place where the Qing’an Team had sent a ssage before they lost contact.
Ahead was the area where a large number of people had disappeared.
According to the intelligence officers, anyone who had ventured deep into this region had suddenly lost contact.
After hearing the intelligence report, Yan Yu instructed:
“Everyone check your supplies. Don’t leave anything behind.”
His gaze swept over the mbers of his team: Chen Lingyun held the Prison Banner in her right hand and Prayer Beads in her left, her deanor calm and collected; Su Yunjin cradled the River Origin Purifying Bottle, with a gentle smile that made her seem sowhat like a Buddhist Sect lady; Lin Ning carried the Zhenghai Sword Box on her back, with the Dan Yan Sword concealed within, and the Green Bamboo Sword slung at her waist, looking extrely serious at the mont; Xie Ruoxi secured the Thunder God Hamr in her belt, nervously twisting her hands.
Only Zhao Yuanzhen carried a bag on her back, containing the Red Lotus Bowl, White Bone Heart-Locking Hamr, and so snacks and drinks… as if they were not on a mission to navigate the Mysterious Realm to rescue their brother team, but on a spring outing.
Yan Yu didn’t bother reprimanding her. After all, her real strength was in her Puppet Body.
If the enemy couldn’t force out her puppets, they truly weren’t worthy of her taking things seriously.
“Stay close later on,” Yan Yu directed. “Don’t get separated.”
Six sword lights shot into the sky and sped off into the distance.
…
And then they crashed.
As Yan Yu landed, he quickly rolled away and swept the area with his Divine Sense.
No one.
At this mont, he was in an underground cave, with a closed dead end behind him and a passage extending downward in front of him, subrged in cold water.
He took out his phone and found no signal.
Cultivators’ phones were custom-made, not only waterproof and durable against extre environnts but also capable of receiving satellite signals. No signal ant that one had been pulled into a Mysterious Realm, severing the spatial connection with the outside world…
Hmm?
He suddenly noticed that in his friend list, Li Minghu’s avatar had lit up.
The Valkyrie is sending a ssage? Wait, how could there be communication in this Mysterious Realm?
After pondering for a while, Yan Yu rembered the special phones used by Mortal Warriors in his previous life, equipped with ultra-long-range Bluetooth technology. Even in places with no signal, as long as the distance wasn’t too great, they could send and receive ssages with other nearby phones—this communication technology was an improvent based on the research of the Sound Transmission Technique, a unique product of the Era of Spiritual Energy Resurgence.
That ant, during Li Minghu’s secret training of Mortal Warriors, they had swapped phones. And the location I was teleported into the Mysterious Realm brought especially close to her, allowing to catch her signal.
Without a second thought, Yan Yu imdiately made the call.
“Yan Yu?” Li Minghu answered quickly, her voice filled with three parts confusion and seven parts surprise, “How did you get here… No, I an, how are you able to call ?”
“Don’t rush, let explain,” Yan Yu spoke quickly, “First, how much battery does your phone have?”
“12%,” Li Minghu said.
That ant not much battery was left, as the ultra-long-range Bluetooth was a real drain on power.
“Just do as I say,” Yan Yu spoke at a rapid pace, “Open your phone, go to Settings – Bluetooth – Advanced, is there an ultra-long-range Bluetooth icon on the top right?”
“There isn’t,” Li Minghu replied quickly, “but there’s one in the pull-down nu, labeled ‘Long-Range Bluetooth Technology Experintal Version.'”
“Click on it.”
“A popup appears, warning that non-developers should not operate.”
“Confirm,” Yan Yu said, “Now, check the pull-down list for signals, how many are there?”
“Just one,” Li Minghu said, “Userna ‘zh-yy.'”
“Zhenghai Yan Yu,” Yan Yu responded, “That’s the default userna assigned to on the phone they sent up. It ans right now, in this Mysterious Realm, I’m the only one within your remote Bluetooth range.”
