Chapter 275 - The Black Hole

Baronette had long felt that Su Ming's cursed had been broken. Although it was like that, she didn't panic at all. Instead, her mood was calm as the serene water.

Nothing could make her mood unstable.

Even if that woman would remember everything, she won't be able to do anything at it.

After all, what could a mortal woman can do against an immortal?

Baronette sipped the remaining glass of vintage wine in her hands. Drawing closer to the magenta dr.a.p.e window, she looked at the dark night that almost swallow the city.

Living the topmost hotel room, Baronette could almost see all the miniature buildings below. Like a myriad sparkling stone with its lights still open.

When will her Lord woke up, anyway?

She could already sense that the day is getting nearer. Sensing that it was in the near future, a bud of excitement appeared in her chest.

She had been waiting for almost a century. Now, it's time to wake up.

The whereabouts of the bead weren't still on sight. If he ever woke up without it, then it would delay their flight.

Anyway, while waiting, if her Lord wanted to dominate this land, then she will fully show her support and her allegiance. She will wipe out the hindrance and the people that will go against their way.

Even if it would be that woman...

Anyway, there's no way that he will go back from the way he was. 

Baronette had already taken care of that concern a long time ago. Her Lord only needed to focus, to dominate the world and get back to heaven and begun their life again.

This time, she will closely guard him.

"Lingua Liu."

Su Ci Yi saluted as soon as they arrived at the 'village of disappearing soul' They didn't have gone that long and yet she could see the wrinkled forehead of the man and his face seemed to age for a few years.

" You came back quick..." Lingua Liu's eyes fall on the sword on Su Ci Yi's waist, tucked carefully.

Su Ci Yi pulled the sword out and unsheathe it.

" It's this sword, right? In this place, this is only one."

" I won't ask anymore how you did find it cause it will just take a lot of time. Now, let us proceed to the forest. The situation had gotten worse now."

Su Ci Yi also knows it. When they arrived earlier, the place was all foggy and blurry.

One needed to be extra careful when threading the road or might stumble to something. Su Ci Yi, even when they are walking, wrapped them with her spirit qi barrier. 

The effect of the fog isn't that simple at all.

It was harmful and could erode the entire skin if one didn't have any spiritual strength.

Qin Yu also followed them. 

But this time, he left Qin Tao with Mai in the city. Since Mai presented that she will be the one to look after Qin Tao when they leave. Su Ci Yi accepted the proposal since she also thought that Mai wouldn't be of any help at this place. It will be a good chance for her to just stay.

The bottom pit was located in the inner part of the forest. Since the fog started to flow there, the forest became more vile and dangerous for people to go hunting inside.

The grasses had become prune and almost reach a person's height. Vines already crawled the trunk of trees hanging and dangling on its branches. 

There were no inconspicuous sounds of animals, only the rotting and decaying corpses of those who had been swept by the poison gas.

There were also bones scattered on the ground from both small and large. Worms and centipedes crawled underneath it.

" Are you sure that sword will come back if she pushes it down?"

Jing Sang said with uneasiness. If by chance the sword won't be able to go back then it will be a big loss to their treasure.

"Hush." Sang Shui reprimanded him and even glared at him?!

Jing Sang could only shut his mouth and mutter on the sideline.

Su Ci Yi became numb of Jing Sang's stupidness. 

Su Ci Yi stood in front of the pit hole where the large concentration of fog is evident. With her inner qi, she surrounded herself with a protective barrier that would go against the poisonous gas. With her new level of cultivation, it's a cinch of Su Ci Yi's ability. Even if she had to protect the entire group the entire time, she wouldn't be exhausted immediately.

She unsheathed her sword, pulled the weapon, and raised it in her hands.

Channeling her spiritual qi on it and forging her consciousness together with the metal.

She closed her eyes and imagine a vast space. Darkness and light were embedded into it, and Su Ci Yi floated in the middle. Countless stones sparks on her side and the path formed. Like a galaxy full of planets, her inner consciousness was just like that.

Inside it, she could see herself. Her meridian, the aura of her spiritual energy, and the flow of her qi through her whole body.

After a few seconds of connecting her mind to the sword, she whispered a small incantation and released it towards the dark hole.

The spectators were just watching from afar. The concentration of poisonous gas on the mouth of the pit is terrible that even with their protective barrier, they wouldn't be able to defend themselves.

"Go down and search the inside." Su Ci Yi instructed. Her tone was serene and gentle, like the spring breeze.

She threw the sword mid-air. The shining weapon gleamed and floated horizontally in the air. Spiraling down to the bottom infused with her energy. With Su Ci Yi's wave, the sword went down in a rapid stance and soon vanished from the dark.

Down...

Down...

Down the narrow and dark hole full of poison and thistle.

And after an hour of waiting, the sword didn't come back.
