Remould the Glory of Sword Art
Chapter 73 - 73 68 The Tomb of the North Sea_2

73: Chapter 68: The Tomb of the North Sea_2 73: Chapter 68: The Tomb of the North Sea_2 Every street and alley was exceptionally noisy.

Three figures, one in front of the other, meandering through more than half of Lichao City, eventually arrived at a relatively remote and quiet area.

Deng Baiyi came to a halt in time, her back against the stone wall, quietly holding a talisman, eavesdropping on the sounds in the alley next to her.

As expected.

The plainly dressed peddler finally stopped, successfully trapping the young child who was not very old.

But what caught Deng Baiyi by surprise was that the one to speak first was the child.

“How many people have you arranged in Lichao City?”

The child turned around, his back against the stone wall, and smilingly said, “With such a disguise, to be discovered nevertheless.”

Deng Baiyi, leaning against the stone wall, was taken aback.

In her heart, the child was most likely the “victim”…

But now it seemed she had guessed wrong.

This child might not be a child at all.

“I would also like to ask…”

The plainly dressed vendor held a sugar-gourd target in front of him, and then drew a thin sword from within it.

Swoosh.

The sound of the vibrating sword tip echoed down the alley.

He said expressionlessly, “Exactly how many people have you arranged, to have searched for so many days and yet still have not finished?”

“And,”

“What is the meaning of these array patterns carved on the streets and alleys of Lichao City?”

Upon hearing this, the child laughed softly.

“I had heard that within Da Chu Territory, there are many of those life-disdaining Fly Pupils Death Soldiers…

But now it seems, it’s nothing much.

Your manpower isn’t that abundant either,” he said, spreading his arms gently.

“By the way, you were ordered to investigate; didn’t they tell you from above, exactly what sort of thing we are?”

The plainly dressed vendor faltered for a moment.

The next moment.

Sounds of tearing fabric came from the alley, and in an instant, the girl expanded dozens of times in size, wings thin as a cicada’s formed on her back, her face turned ferocious, her eyes instantly multiplied from one to two, two to four, and in a few short breaths, thousands, almost tens of thousands of compound ‘eyes’ squeezed together appeared.

Compared to the fly eyes before her…

this was the true Fly Eye!

“Boom!”

After revealing her true form, the girl did not launch an attack but instead, with a long howl, shook her wings, and in an instant, countless sparks rolled out from the darkness—

She ignited herself!

The alley was instantly inundated by a sea of fire!

Everything happened too fast, Deng Baiyi barely had time to react.

The moment she moved her head, a flaming column, scorching hot, whipped past her eyes, only millimeters from her cheek.

Her hair, lifted by the gust, caught fire and flew through the air, turning to ashes…

She stood there for a long time, her face pale as she walked out of the alley.

The hot blast of air remaining in the wind constantly brushed against Deng Baiyi’s clothes.

That seemingly “harmless” child had burned herself to ashes, evenly scattered in the swirling hot wind of this alley.

She was not human.

She was a demon.

From the beginning to the end, her only purpose was to lure the follower here and complete “self-immolation.”

At the end of the alley stood a figure with a sword planted on the ground.

The Fly Eye made a defensive gesture in the last moment, but unfortunately, it was of little use, he had been burned to a crisp all over and had completely lost signs of life.

The grass target with the sugar gourds was also mostly burnt, still flaring with flames, rolling on the ground, and it came to a stop at Deng Baiyi’s feet.

This scene…

Was even more abrupt than the formation slaughter on Little Desolate Mountain.

A sudden wave of nausea caused Deng Baiyi to suddenly bend over.

She crouched in the corner, using great effort to control the urge to vomit…

It took her a long time to recover, and through her blurry vision, she caught a glimpse of the ashes at the end of the alley.

The characters in the ash seemed somewhat foreign,

But also somewhat familiar.

Deng Baiyi reached out her finger, touching the ashes remaining on the wall.

If she remembered correctly, these ashes on the wall before her were something she had seen while setting up the Formation Ancient Text of the Ninefold Phoenix Fire Refinement Formation…

She looked pale and instinctively walked deeper into the alley.

As expected,

she found a second pile of ashes.

It seemed to be Formation Ancient Text…

and it was the “recognized” Formation Ancient Text…

Deng Baiyi was stunned.

The girl who had just self-detonated was a demon, so these characters…

were actually the Formation Ancient Text of the Demon Race?

And the reason she recognized them,

was because Xie Zhen had recently taught her some of the Divine Soul Dao Treasures, which contained clear and detailed interpretations.

The ashes remaining on the stone walls, Xie Zhen’s sudden departure, the Fly Pupils, the Demon Cultivators, all these chaotic and disorderly pieces of information, flooded into Deng Baiyi’s Heart Lake, becoming “traceable” and gradually clearer…

Deng Baiyi seemed to understand something.

She looked pale, slowly gazing out towards Lichao City.

The roaring sounds of the great tide were getting closer.

…

…

In Demon Country, Erosion Sun Swamp.

The sky was dark, clouds were dense, a streak of soft light shone down into the grand hall.

Dragon Wood Venerable kneeled on one knee.

Before him was a throne too immense to measure.

This streak of light divided the grand hall in two, and Dragon Wood Venerable did not raise his head to look at the dark half separated by the light.

“Great Venerate.”

His voice was very soft and gentle.

“The existence of Bai Ze Secret Realm has been confirmed.”

The dark side of the throne did not stir.

“Although the legendary Undying Spring cannot be found, if one can obtain the ‘Pen of Dao’, Your Highness’ injuries may yet have a chance to be reversed.”

Dragon Wood Venerable’s attitude was very humble.

Even though there was no response from the darkness, he still respectfully said, “If Your Highness is willing to trust Long Mu once more, please grant another portion of ‘Holy Power.’ Long Mu is willing to go through fire and water for the Great Venerate, and would not hesitate to die a thousand times.”

This time.

The silence in the darkness was broken.
