“Ye-ge, we don't know where Tian Ruichi is right now, Dou Hongyi might know something. As for why I say the anomalies were brought by Tian Ruichi, it's because I personally saw anomalies rushing into the Special Envoy's mansion, and as Tian Ruichi left, a large number of anomalies followed. The rest are the ones wreaking havoc in the city!”

Jing Yan pointed to Dou Hongyi's group, who were also approaching, and said in a low voice.

Fang Yue immediately understood and, after telling them to be careful, rushed straight towards Dou Hongyi's side.

As Fang Yue moved, the black silk, like a menacing octopus, scattered in all directions, sweeping away everything in its path like a whirlwind, shattering all the black shadow branches with a single blow.

His path was like clearing a table, concise and quick, easily defeating all the black shadow anomalies along the way.

By the time Fang Yue rushed to Dou Hongyi's side, the swarm of anomalies that had been surrounding them retreated, looking at Fang Yue with solemn anticipation.

"Lord Ye, you're finally awake! The anomalies are attacking the city, the Earth Core has been damaged, and we've suffered heavy casualties!"

Fang Yue naturally took in the situation and his expression darkened slightly.

The others were one thing, but Lin Ling held the last hope of reviving Lord Han.

Anyone who dared to hurt Lin Ling would be hurting Lord Han, and Fang Yue couldn't stand idly by.

He went over to support the faltering Lin Ling and, after asking about his condition, he was relieved.

Lin Ling's injuries weren't as bad as they looked. His left arm was fractured, which was the most serious injury, but the rest were minor. After asking Dou Hongyi to take care of him, Fang Yue began to attack, sending out dozens of black silk threads.

*Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh*

The sword is the [Maple Needle Sword].

The stone is the [Anomaly Climbing Stone].

Below, fires flickered and screams echoed throughout Chu Nuan City.

Above, a young man sharpened his sword, meticulously and carefully.

The maple-colored long sword, as thin as a needle, became sharper and sharper as it was honed on the whetstone.

The sword's surface reflected the image of the person sharpening it under the yin and yang moonlight of the [Heaven Devourer].

It was a face... a face devoid of any features.

No eyes, no nose, no mouth, just a blank human face.

The eerie faceless youth, however, didn't seem to notice at all, and continued sharpening his sword.

As if everything outside was irrelevant to him, and the only thing in the world that could attract his attention was sharpening his sword.

Soon, it will be soon!

Below, the anomalies, which had been scattered throughout Chu Nuan City, suddenly stopped their movements and surged towards the West City Gate.

Looking down from the city wall, the black shadows that were spreading over looked like a black tide, rushing forward.

But in Tian Ruichi's eyes, there were still only the words 'sharpen sword'!

Slowly, the sword became sharper and sharper, and his left ear, with the movement of sharpening the sword, slowly dissolved like a liquid, merging perfectly with his faceless face, becoming a smooth surface, as if he had never had an ear at all.

At the same time, his right ear also quickly dissolved and merged with his face.

And the movement of sharpening his sword suddenly accelerated at this time, becoming faster and faster, sparks flying!

"Sharp swords come from honing!"

Even though he had no mouth, Tian Ruichi made a sound similar to some kind of eardrum vibration, spreading in the air!
