Chapter 191 Pursuit in the Mist
Upon hearing this, Li Jie silently took out a small round ball that shimmered with a pale blue light from his pocket.
Upon closer inspection, one could faintly sense a fierce wind blowing across the surface of the bead.
That's right.
This pale blue sphere is the Wind God Pearl, the natal divine object that the Celestial Venerable took from the Wind God Xiu when they were in the Northern Territory.
The Celestial Venerable once said that this bead could resist the erosion of the mist, but it's unknown whether that's true...
In fact, when he heard that the Sun God had uprooted Fengdu and Anta County and taken them into the mist, he already had the idea of entering the mist and bringing the city back.
Even if he doesn't go, Sword Saint Zhou Ping will definitely go.
If the Sword Saint were really allowed to enter the fog alone...
It might end the same way as before...
Regardless of whether it succeeds or not.
There will always be one ceiling that falls...
So, it's like fate...
Li Jie and Zhou Ping both appeared at the scene of the disappearance in Fengdu.
Thinking of this.
Li Jie always felt like he was being manipulated, as if this scene was deliberately arranged by someone.
Why did divine power fluctuations occur in Lintang City?
As the only deity of the Great Xia Dynasty who did not go to repair the Heavenly Court, the Emperor of Fengdu did not appear at the scene of the descent of Osiris, the god of the underworld.
Instead, they stayed in Anta County, waiting for the arrival of other gods.
Not only that, Fengdu was eventually taken away by the nine Egyptian gods.
Coincidentally, Li Jie also possessed a divine artifact that allowed him to move freely through the mist.
It looks like a setup targeting him no matter how you look at it.
But now he has no way to delve deeper into these matters.
The longer Anta County remains shrouded in mist, the higher the chances of death for the people living there.
He then gripped the Wind God Pearl tightly in his hand and flew towards the edge of the mist on his sword.
Seeing Li Jie's strange behavior, Zhou Ping froze, threw the Fengdu Emperor aside, and floated up with his figure.
Are you going into the mist?
"That's not something you can handle right now."
Upon hearing Zhou Ping's voice, Li Jie slowly shook his head.
"No, I can get in because I have this."
After saying that, he placed the Wind God Pearl he was holding in front of Zhou Ping.
"I don't know why, it's like it was all planned out..."
"I happened to acquire this item recently, and even more coincidentally... this item can shield me from all the fog around me, allowing me to move freely in that deadly environment..."
"I don't know if it's fate or if someone deliberately arranged it."
"It seems like this is something only I can do."
Hearing this, Zhou Ping also looked curiously at the light blue bead in Li Jie's hand. After discovering the information about the laws contained within it, he couldn't help but ask.
"Is this a divine object?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jie nodded calmly.
"This is the sacred object of Hugh, one of the Egyptian gods of wind..."
"The only effect I know of for this divine artifact is that it can protect me from any harm in the mist."
“So…” Li Jie said, glancing at the swirling fog beyond the border.
"I'll accompany you."
Before Li Jie could speak, Zhou Ping tightened the straps on the sword case.
He spoke with a light laugh.
"We're working together very well, aren't we?"
"More people means more protection."
Hearing this, Li Jie did not refuse, because he knew how dangerous it would be to enter the mist, so with the Sword Saint there, the two of them might be able to escape unscathed.
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Li Jie turned to look at Zhou Ping and spoke.
"Let's give Commander Ye a call..."
…………
On the Watchmen's private plane bound for Anta County.
Ye Fan rubbed his cheeks in frustration.
After he and Zuo Qing failed to obtain any useful information from Lin Qiye and the others, they embarked on their journey back to Anta County.
It's quite a coincidence that they and Li Jie, despite having the same destination, never met.
If we had seen them on the way to Lintang City, we wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble.
Suddenly, a rapid ringing of his cell phone jolted him out of his reverie.
When he saw the incoming call message, he quickly answered the phone.
"Hey Zhou Ping, how's the situation over there?"
"..."
"What did you say? The entire Anta County and Fengdu have been shrouded in mist by the Sun God?"
Upon hearing this, not only Ye Fan, but also Zuo Qing, who was resting with his eyes closed beside him, immediately sat up and waited seriously for the news on the phone.
After all, it involves deities, and improper handling could result in large-scale casualties.
"Would you like to wait for us?"
We're almost there!
"..."
"But……"
"it is good……"
"I see……"
"You all... must be careful..."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Fan slumped back against the chair, feeling utterly exhausted.
Seeing his reaction, Zuo Qing asked anxiously.
"what's up?"
"Could it be... that things aren't going well with Zhou Ping?"
Upon hearing Zuo Qing's question, Ye Fan sighed heavily.
"It was indeed not going smoothly. They originally planned to hand over the body of Osiris, the god of the underworld, to the Emperor of Fengdu for disposal."
"But to their surprise, as soon as they arrived in Anta County, they found that the entire city had been uprooted and shrouded in mist..."
"And the land of Fengdu was also severely injured by the arriving Sun God..."
"Now they must venture into the mist and bring back the city that has been uprooted..."
Ye Fan's voice boomed in Zuo Qing's ears like a thunderclap.
what did you say?
Are the two of them heading into the mist?
Isn't that practically the same as courting death?
Even with Zhou Ping's strength, he couldn't withstand that terrifying mist for long...
Li Jie is even more out of the question, given his meager abilities.
There was absolutely no way they could have survived the chase!
If they agree, it would be like pushing this once-in-a-millennium genius of the Great Xia Dynasty to his doom!
Seeing Zuo Qing's shocked expression, Ye Fan also spoke up to explain.
"Zhou Ping just said that Li Jie possesses a divine artifact that can resist the erosion of the mist, which is why he didn't refuse and allowed Li Jie to accompany him."
A divine object that can resist the erosion of the mist?
Where did this kid get this thing? Is it reliable?
Indeed, while the Night Watch possesses forbidden items that can temporarily resist the erosion of the mist, their duration is only twenty-four hours.
Can he come back in just one day?
Zuo Qing was skeptical about this matter, after all, Li Jie was his subordinate, and he would definitely consider things more than Ye Fan.

P.S.: Because of my shift, I'll be a little late today.
