My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Shallow Yellow Springs.

Above the building that resembles the Celestial Strategy Headquarters.

The group began to think of ways to descend.

This wasn’t particularly difficult after all, since they were all Advanced Empowerers. Falling from a high altitude unharmed was still achievable, and even if it wasn’t, others could help.

What was more worrying was what lay below; this sense of unknown was the most troublesome.

After all, they were currently in Yellow Springs.

Moreover.

As soon as the group arrived, they saw, in the distance, the stunning sight of a Giant Sword spanning the center of the city, as if they had received a warning.

In such circumstances, it’s indeed easy to let one’s imagination run wild, leading to many unnecessary thoughts about the situation below.

However.

After the group descended, they didn’t see any unexpected sights.

Deathly silence.

This was the group’s sole impression of the illusory city after coming down.

No vitality, no living things, only slowly swirling black mist.

Cold and rigid.

Moreover, upon closer inspection, the bizarre feeling brought about by the mixing of different buildings was even stronger.

"Because of ’Forget Sorrow,’ our passage through Shallow Yellow Springs shouldn’t pose any problem, so there’s no need to be overly tense."

On the other side.

Zhuoli seemed to have noticed the group, especially Zhou Jian, who still maintained a strong sense of vigilance towards this place, and he explained: "We’ve tried many times without a single incident, though things here are indeed quite strange."

Zhou Jian heard these words but remained non-committal. As a soldier, he clearly wouldn’t drop his guard because of Zhuoli’s brief words; instead, he asked, "So what should we do next?"

"Let’s walk directly towards Goryeo."

Zhuoli looked towards the direction of Goryeo: "In reality, distance perception doesn’t apply in Yellow Springs. In fact, the Yellow Springs Mainstream and Goryeo Branch aren’t far apart."

"We can easily reach there, as long as we know the direction, and now the scenery of Shallow Yellow Springs is very well suited for orientation, so it shouldn’t be hard to reach."

After speaking.

He looked toward Chen Lusi.

Others also looked at Chen Lusi, waiting for his orders.

But Chen Lusi did not respond to them, instead continuing to gaze at the Giant Sword spanning the city center.

Zhuoli followed his gaze, then hesitated, saying: "Chen Tiance, that’s really just..."

"Since we can orient ourselves, let’s move forward."

Chen Lusi turned to interrupt him: "Whether that Giant Sword is real or not, I’m just curious."

"Alright."

Zhuoli, upon hearing, said no more, orienting himself briefly to lead the way at the front.

The others followed closely behind.

"What’s wrong? Did you discover anything unusual?"

Shanli hesitated for a moment, slightly slowing her pace and approached Chen Lusi, asking quietly.

Lin Ying and Zhou Jian also looked at Chen Lusi.

"I wouldn’t say I’ve noticed anything unusual."

Chen Lusi hesitated, shook his head, and glanced again at the Giant Sword: "I just inexplicably feel the Giant Sword seems familiar, but I don’t know where that familiarity comes from, and also..."

Saying this.

He raised the Tai’e Sword in hand: "This sword has conveyed excitement once more. It’s done this a total of three times: The first time facing the Goddess of Longevity, the second time at the hotel when, judging by the timing, something happened in Goryeo.

And this is the third time, as I gaze at that Giant Sword, it has again conveyed excitement, so I find it somewhat strange.

But saying that the Giant Sword seems abnormal, has issues, I wouldn’t say that either; I haven’t sensed anything particularly wrong, just a sense of familiarity."

Shanli heard this, slightly furrowed her brow, then after a moment of contemplation, said: "Well..."

"No need."

Chen Lusi shook his head, interrupting her, looking at Zhuoli’s back: "Mr. Zhuoli is right, we’re not here in Yellow Springs for the Giant Sword, nor to satisfy our curiosity.

Yellow Springs appears fine, with no issues occurring, so we should try not to interfere much as my Authority Ability is too sensitive... if any unexpected incident arises, it would be a loss.

No matter where that familiarity comes from, no matter why the Tai’e Sword is excited, it’s currently unimportant; put it aside for now, understanding the situation at the Goryeo Branch is more crucial, so long as there’s no impact, even if that Giant Sword isn’t a hallucination, we’ll treat it as one."

"...Hmm."

Shanli heard this, paused, and nodded.

Zhou Jian thought for a moment, without expressing any thoughts.

As things stand, Chen Lusi’s choice indeed seems the most correct.

Meanwhile, at the front Zhuoli, actually also heard their conversation.

Upon hearing Chen Lusi’s words, he let out a gentle sigh of relief, following suit in relaxing.

Frankly speaking.

He was genuinely worried if Chen Lusi would suggest heading over to the Giant Sword... because it’s too hard a choice.

Not only Ji Xin and others know Chen Lusi’s Authority Ability pertains to Yellow Spring Remnant Vein.

He actually knows too.

Most of the Celestial Strategy Mansion’s actions, and the final outcomes, are known to them as overseers.

The revival of Emperor Shi and his subsequent tours in the human world are major events; Ji Xin couldn’t possibly keep that hidden.

And truth be told, he’s a bit uncertain about his earlier explanation...

Because the appearance of that Giant Sword is indeed abrupt; prior to this, during his three visits to the Yellow Springs Mainstream, he’d never seen constructions of this kind.

And Chen Lusi’s first time in Shallow Yellow Springs, this exaggerated creation just appears here... it’s quite concerning, hard not to link it to him or, more precisely, his Authority Ability.
