Peerless Sword Saint Checks In Secretly For 3000 Years

Chapter 29: News in the Dark Mist!

At that moment, Elder Jiang’s sudden return also alerted Zhang Sanjian. When Zhang Sanjian heard about the news, he quickly rushed over as well.

After he asked about what had happened, his eyes became solemn in spite of himself.

“Get in contact with our elders on exploration missions at once and tell them to return as soon as possible. Within these three days, we must gather all our forces and launch an assault on the Sol Sword Sect. If we can take them down, the Empyrean Sword Sect will be able to cling to our very existence for quite some time. The Sol Sword Sect came into the Empyrean Sword Domain in a rather pathetic state, but their background seems to be very profound,” Zhang Sanjian said slowly.

“However, that Dark Mist Enforcer... which is the Mist Dwellers that you guys mentioned earlier on, who exactly are those people?”

“They are definitely a terrifying bunch. When demons travel, they’ll bring about dark mist and terror. The same is true for those guys. Dark mist will converge wherever they pass. Seemingly having mastered some kind of strange and unpredictable technique, their combat power is way above others. Besides, each of them has weird dispositions. One Mist Dweller we saw threw his palm casually and killed a demon at the Divine Bridge stage.”

“What’s more, it seems that they can absorb demons... To enhance their own strength, that is...”

Elder Jiang sighed and suppressed his wounds. Now, he was lying on a bed as he recalled past events.

This was also the first time Zhang Sanjian had ever heard of this.

Now, it was still somewhat hard to believe.

Could such terrifying beings truly exist within the dark mist?

Within three days’ time, five elders from the Empyrean Sword Sect had returned.

All of them were in Late-stage Liberation.

It had to be said that the Empyrean Sword Sect’s side sect was still pretty strong.

At that moment, standing on the massive platform, several elders could not help but speak as they looked at the curious disciples beneath.

“I saw that, although some sects were very powerful, for some reason, they were also constantly engaged in exploring the dark mist. However, they were discovered by a demon at the Divine Bridge stage. Then, the demon invaded their sect and wiped them out...”

“After a demon annihilated a sect, I stood in front of the sect’s statue for a very long time. Then, I broke that statue on the spur of the moment. Dark mist crept in completely. I feel that the statue of every sect should be very unique, and has at least a function that is beyond our knowledge...”

“I saw a Mist Dweller... a terrifying ace at the peak of the Divine Bridge stage. I watched him tear apart a demon that was also at the peak of the Divine Bridge stage, devour it, and then ascend to an even more daunting stage in cultivation. I was discovered. But compared with such a being, I was like an ant. That person took one look at me and I immediately felt as if I’d plunged into a cave of ice. Then, he disappeared into the dark mist...”

“I saw a row of youngsters sitting outside of a massive sect. Each of those youngsters was seemingly longing for something from the dark mist. However, some of them suddenly bled from all seven of their orifices, and some of them abruptly screamed maniacally as if they’d been possessed. Then, from inside the sect, some people walked out, delivered one slash after another, and struck down those who had gone insane in a ruthless manner... it seems that the dark mist is hiding some kind of secret, and I feel that it is inseparable from those Mist Dwellers.”

When the elders gathered together, they could not resist talking about what they had found in the dark mist.

For a while, many people sighed.

“In any case, it is certain that the dark mist is harboring some secrets. However, it is too dangerous. If we are not powerful enough, we will never be able to understand those secrets. If my guess is correct, the sects that exist deeper into the dark mist will be increasingly terrifying and also have more information at hand. Sigh. In this era, the only thing we can do now is to go all out in development and hope that one day we will be able to grasp the secrets of the dark mist as well.”

“Elder! Are there people who managed to walk out of the dark mist? I miss my mother and my wife from below the mountain...”

At that moment, someone suddenly spoke. The entire venue abruptly fell into silence.

Many of them had commitments below the mountain. Now, with the dark mist in place, they had no idea if their families out there were still alive. At that moment, they could not help lowering their heads.

“There will be hope,” an elder smiled and said, consoling them.

At that moment, a young man slowly walked past the crowd. Dressed in white and with a handsome look, he was particularly eye-catching.

After his check-ins over the last few days, Shen Changge had successfully stepped into the peak of the Liberation stage and would soon ascend to the Divine Bridge stage.

Besides, he had also attained a state of perfection in Falling Sun.

Now, he was capable of unleashing power near to that which the Sol Sword Sect’s founder could perform while he was in the same stage in cultivation.

This was the state of perfection.

Besides, Shen Changge had already arrived at the fifth phase in the Empyrean Sword Manual’s Riding Sword Section, Five Yin Elements.

His Tempest Force had already become Yin Lightning, which meant that it had turned from an invisible force into the element of thunder that genuinely existed. Now, when Shen Changge used his Riding Art, terrifying dark lightning would immediately surge upon the body of his sword. This was an extremely high and mystical phase in Riding Arts!

The thunder itself was like his hand. It could assist Shen Changge in manipulating his sword from thousands of miles away!

Besides, his Rebirth technique was also maxed out. 𝘧r𝙚e𝓌𝐞𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝙚Ɩ. com

Now, as long as he had access to some traces of the scene, he could immediately restore it. Of course, if the entities involved were the more horrifying ones, Shen Changge might be required to pay a heavy price.

At present, he had mastery over Styling Art: Ink Flow, Riding Art: Thousand Miles / Wind Chase.

Assaulting Art: Falling Sun / Scarlet Lightning.

For Move Techniques, he had Phantom Shift at maximum expertise.

In terms of Shen Changge’s apparent combat power, it could be said that, although he had not stepped into the Divine Bridge stage, even people at Middle-stage Divine Bridge would be no match for him.

And for beings in Early-stage Divine Bridge like Lin Jianghong, the Shen Changge at this moment in time could already deal with them with ease.

Shen Changge was walking.

“Changge.”

Elder Jiang was also sitting on the platform at that moment. After resting for three days, he had recovered a portion of his energy. As he looked at Shen Changge below, for some unknown reason, not knowing if it was because of the description of that mysterious ace given by the people from the Sol Sword Sect or if it was because Shen Changge have indeed changed a little compared to before, he felt like Shen Changge was becoming more and more unfathomable.

But how was that possible?

In all honesty, he did have some complaints about Shen Changge. However, he did not detest him.

But this child’s talent was visible to everyone along with his self-motivation.

The mysterious ace who razed the Sol Sword Sect, that strange Mist Dweller...

It was really difficult for him to associate that horrifying existence with Shen Changge, who was a failure in his mind...

“Elder Jiang, are you alright?”

Elder Jiang recovered from absent-mindedness and took a closer look at Shen Changge’s gradually receding figure. He immediately calmed down and could not help laughing as he said, “Of course!”

“Let’s leave for the Sol Sword Sect! I’ve been yearning for their Assaulting Art: Falling Sun for a very long time!”
