Chapter 29: Outside Jiuyou City

  As expected, the answer was finally revealed when they saw that blue light beam.

  Although it can be clearly seen that blue light beam, in the near distance, on a dry land full of weeds.

  The old man's face was flushed with excitement as he exclaimed: "Look, it's right there!"

  In this pitch-black night, everyone can see clearly, but the blue light on the lawn is flickering, as if there is a transparent obstacle in between.

  "Hei Shen then asked: 'Is there a seal over there?'"

  "That's right, it's Jian Wang's boundary." Fei Lu saw it at a glance.

  Shen Du also understood that Qiu Lao had arranged this because with Shen Du's current strength, he was still unable to easily break through the Sword King's barrier.

  The four of them quickened their pace and soon arrived outside the boundary. Heishen stretched out his hand to touch the boundary, and a yellow sword aura burst forth from within the boundary, shooting straight at Heishen's face.

  Hei Shen quickly dodged, but was startled and broke out in a cold sweat, exclaiming: "What a close call!"

  "It was indeed a close call." Fei Lu took two steps back and said in a low voice, "We must concentrate our strength and break through this seal together."

  Hei Shen and Shen Dou heard this, were just about to join forces with Fei Lu to break the seal, but were stopped by Qi Lao. He took a step forward and said: "We can't act rashly, the seal here is not ordinary, even the strong Sword Emperor cannot easily break the seal. The only way is for us three to work together to break open a gap in the seal, then Shen Dou will take advantage of the opportunity to slip inside. After that, this seal will automatically repair itself and keep us three out."

  Everyone was stunned, such a seal was unheard of, even Feilu was shocked. The seal outside the desert city was set up by Feilu, but as long as the enemy's level was higher than Feilu's, they could easily break through the seal and enter the desert city.

  "Well then, let's get started." Feilu gazed at Shendu with an extremely complex expression: "Are you ready?"

  "Of course."

  Feilu took a stance at the front, gathering his energy and focusing his mind, waiting for Heishen and Ji Lao to infuse sword energy into him from behind.

  Heishen and Jilao's movements were also extremely swift, pouring the sword energy inside their bodies into Feilu's body.

  Three people joined forces, and a yellow sword aura of the mid-Sword King level condensed, from Feilu's dantian to his fingertips, slowly pointing, the sword aura condensed into a line, drawing a small door on the transparent boundary.

  Shen Dou saw the situation and didn't hesitate at all, flying into it.

  It was at that moment that the barrier automatically repaired itself. Although they could still see Shendu, they were unable to hear his voice.

  "Feilu, I will return, even if it's in death, I will definitely defend the lives of Shacheng."

  Feilu couldn't hear Shendu's words, but she smiled and said: "Come on, Shendu, everyone in Shacheng is waiting for your safe return, a stronger return."

  Two people looked at each other, even if they couldn't hear each other's language, but seemed to understand each other's emotions.

  Shen no longer hesitated and turned to walk towards the blue light beam.

  All he saw was the blue light beam projected onto his body, and soon the whole person disappeared into the light beam.

  Before long, Shen Du's figure was no longer in sight.

  "Alas!" Feilu let out a long sigh of lamentation.

  The mood of Heishen also became heavy.

  "Lord of the castle, is what we're doing really right?"

  Fei Lu took a deep breath and looked at the blue light beam again, saying faintly: "Good fortune or bad luck is destined by heaven, we can only do our best."

  "Hei Shen seemed to still have doubts, so he pulled Old Season aside and asked in a low voice: 'Old Season, why does it have to be Shen who goes in? Can't the rest of us go in too? We all want to become stronger, after all.'"

  Ji Lao heard this and let out a hoarse, aged laugh. His voice was rough as he said, "That's the choice of fate, not everyone has the opportunity to enter. Even the strongest Sword Sovereigns usually die nine times out of ten when they enter the Nine Underworlds City. You go in, and you'll probably be nothing but a pile of bones within an hour."

  Hei Shen was shocked and asked in confusion: "That Shen didn't enter...?"

  "No, he's different." Seasoned old man said profoundly: "His fate is different, and in his life, he will face even more and greater difficulties. Jiuyou City is just a small one among the many difficulties in his life."

  "Oh, you're so confident in that kid?" Black God couldn't help but question, "That kid is just a mid-tier swordsman, could he be even more formidable than the Sword Emperor?"

  "Haha, let's just wait and see." Ji Lao didn't say another word, silently hurrying back to Sha City.

  Feilu was worried and looking forward to Shen's safe return.

  She even realized that she had never been worried about anyone like this before. She and Shendu had been together for six years, and for the first three years, she would gaze at his sleeping face day and night, knowing everything about him by heart. Even when Shendu was not by her side, she couldn't forget his handsome face.

  She had just left for a short while, and she found herself starting to miss Shen Du again. This feeling made her feel afraid, and she was very clear that this might be the love she had never had before.

  She kept asking herself if she had fallen in love with him.

  Shen Du, that slender and handsome man, his entire image, every frown and smile, had been deeply imprinted in Fei Lu's mind, unable to be shaken off.
