I am a mage and a wet nurse, so using seven swords is not too much, right?

The three of them traveled together for at least nine meals.

The small imperfection realm cannot be timed.

Ningruan could only use this method to calculate exactly how long they had traveled.

Three days.

We traveled for three days.

No wonder Mu Yiqiu was late in showing up for the agreed-upon meeting at the altar.

She really couldn't make it that far.

The further they went, the more bizarre the surrounding scenery became.

The glacier was no longer pure white, but exuded a deathly grayness, and the chill in the air carried a stench of decay. Occasionally, one could see some frozen skeletons half-buried beneath the ice.

It was the Cursed Raven Clan.

The flying sword fell.

Li Mu frowned slightly, staring at the skeletons for a while, his expression becoming increasingly solemn.

“These skeletons, all of them have broken bones.” Li Chuan… that is, the human cultivator from the Northern Yue Empire, stared in horror at the skeletons beneath the ice.

As for the crack, it's clear that it has been there for countless years.

Even... judging from the posture of the skeleton, it was mostly broken while the skeleton was still alive.

These... were all tortured to death.

Ning Ruan munched on the spiritual fruit, her mind replaying the memory of those fifty cultivators from back then.

This injury can first rule out the possibility of the human female cultivator who likes to freeze others.

That Yan Clan cultivator who enjoys indiscriminate killing and treats murder as a game might actually do such a thing.

But it doesn't fit either.

The opponent was a fire-type, but judging from his cruel killing behavior, he did not break human bones one by one.

Li Mu didn't speak, and after watching for a while, he took the two burdensome swords with him.

From the place where the Cursed Raven Clan skeletons were first discovered, the number of skeletons increased as they traveled along the route.

The number is alarming.

"Have you seen any skeletons before?" Li Mu suddenly asked.

Li Chuan, who was already somewhat dazed from the shock of the skeleton, shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this, "Replying to Senior Li, no."

“I… what we saw in the illusion before, that… that human female cultivator, after freezing the Cursed Raven Clan, then directly shattered the ice corpse, leaving no body behind.”

Ning Ruan nodded, "He's right."

So she was quite curious as to why there were so many frozen skeletons here.

There's no reason to destroy evidence by disposing of a body; why selectively leave some parts intact?

Ning Ruan wanted to say something more.

The five flying swords inside his body suddenly flew out uncontrollably.

The sword trembled.

Buzz.

Immediately afterwards, even the imposing flying swords beneath their feet began to tremble slightly.

The two sword cultivators received feedback at the same time.

"Sword Qi!"

"Sword energy".

The two said almost in unison.

Ning Ruan blinked. "It seems to be just ahead."

She did not retrieve the five flying swords.

They flew at the very front.

It's as if they were being guided on their own.

soon.

A huge ice-cracked canyon appeared ahead.

The canyon is bottomless, with steep ice walls on both sides as if cut by a knife, and a biting cold wind howls up from the bottom of the valley with a piercing shriek.

And that's not the point.

The key point is... sword energy!

The sword energy, so dense it was almost tangible, was continuously gushing out from the depths of the canyon!

This sword energy was sharp and domineering, carrying a resolute will to annihilate everything.

Yet it also subtly reveals an indescribable sorrow and resentment.

As Ning Ruan approached the edge of the canyon, she felt her five flying swords tremble even more violently, as if they were resonating or provoking her.

...He wants to provoke everything.

Li Mu's flying sword hovered in the air.

His expression was unusually solemn.

My divine sense swept across this canyon.

They also looked towards the southeast, intentionally or unintentionally.

There, spatial fluctuations are particularly intense.

Under divine sense, it can be seen clearly.

A massive rift across the sky ripped apart the gray, desolate firmament.

The edges of the crack were extremely irregular, interwoven with terrifying lightning power.

Behind the crack lies a void into which even divine sense cannot penetrate.

How similar it is to the void rift he accidentally cracked before.

The only real difference is their size.

Even if there were two Nascent Soul cultivators or even two Golden Core cultivators here, they probably wouldn't dare to act rashly.

Once action is taken, it will inevitably cause the collapse of the small broken world.

"Senior Li, Fellow Daoist Ning, this canyon... could it have been carved out by someone with a sword?"

Li Chuan swallowed hard and opened his mouth with difficulty.

Ning Ruan said, "You're really smart; you guessed that."

Li Chuan: "..." There's really no need to guess.

With sword energy this dense, what more needs to be said?

But what he didn't understand was that the sword energy was so dense, yet it wasn't very strong.

No.

It's not that it's not strong.

Anyway, even getting close to him, a cultivator at only the thirteenth realm, felt uncomfortable.

If it were to fall, it would surely be cleaved in two by the sword energy, leaving no trace of its body.

However, this intensity is still not comparable to the density of the sword energy.

Ningsoft also discovered this problem.

What she discovered more than Li Chuan was that she also saw the void rift.

This makes sense.

If the sword energy were any stronger, the small remnant world would have been gone long ago.

"General Li, what... is suppressing this sword energy?" Ning Ruan asked without any hesitation, adhering to the principle of asking questions when she didn't understand.

Li Mu glanced back at her, then quickly looked down at the bottom of the canyon. "If there's something suppressing it, it should be down below the canyon."

"Huh? Then...then we have to go down?" Li Chuan's voice trembled noticeably; just standing above the canyon was already a bit too much for him.

The news that the sword energy was suppressed made it even more frightening.

If they are this strong even when suppressed, then if they jump down, they will face the sword energy that is not suppressed. How will they survive?

Oh, Senior Li might survive, after all, he's strong.

Fellow Daoist Ning might also survive, after all, she even killed Wang Xuan.

It seems that the only one who cannot live is himself.

??????

"Fellow Daoist Ning, aren't we still looking for someone?" he asked tentatively.

Ning Ruan said "Oh," then, as if she had just remembered, immediately took out a communication talisman and sent a telepathic message to Mu Yiqiu:

Have you ever been to that Sword Qi Canyon? It shouldn't be too far from where you are, right?
