The Daughter Of Destiny Broke Off The Engagement? I Married Her Sister Instead.

Chapter 177 The Truth Of The Past

Looking at the mess on the ground here, Chu Qianqiu's heart couldn't help but rise to his throat.

He is now standing on the edge of a collapsed wall in the imperial city.

Looking at the other side of the city wall, it has been completely engulfed by the Black substance, and it has perfectly cut the wall in half like a slice.

Chu Qianqiu knows that this Black thing is definitely not something like clouds or mist, but something more solid and heavy, like a shield or a blade.

"Tianhuo, ignite!"

A Tianhuo spear ignited in his hand.

Chu Qianqiu aimed at one of the positions of the Black shield and stabbed it heavily, hoping to destroy the shield and see what's inside.

But his proud Tianhuo attack, the moment it touched the Black shield, melted like normal and disappeared instantly on the shield.

"How is this possible? It swallowed my attack?"

Seeing that his attack had no effect, Chu Qianqiu naturally was shocked and surprised.

You should know that his current strength is at the Soul Formation stage, how could it be so easily blocked?

But the fact that the Black shield could do this indicates that its power is above his.

And he also discovered.

The direction he just attacked, the color of the shield was originally a dark ink black, but after absorbing his Tianhuo spear, the Black became thicker and turned into a dead black.

This means that after devouring an attack, this shield can still be used to strengthen its defense, making it invincible and stronger in battle.

"I can't attack... then how do I get in?"

"This is really frustrating."

Chu Qianqiu couldn't make up his mind while pondering with a calm mind.

Suddenly, he looked up and left his current location, starting to search around the Black shield.

He was looking for his father and the trace of Xiao Hong.

Now, the two of them arrived at the Black shield earlier than him, he didn't know if they succeeded or not.

After arriving here, he had never sensed the presence of the two, which made him start to worry.

"How come, now I'm the only one wandering outside this Black shield, and there's not a single person around?"

"Could it be that this Black shield can also devour the people around it?"

"I don't believe it... such a strange thing exists here, no cultivator would not be curious about it!"

After exploring the area around the Black shield for a while, Chu Qianqiu's heart raised such a question.

There was not a single person around him!

He couldn't believe that now no one would be curious about this thing.

Then why is it that only he is wandering here in confusion?

Where did everyone else go?

Where did his father go?

...

"Qianqiu!"

"Look over here!"

While Chu Qianqiu was wandering in his heart, he heard a familiar voice from below.

Following the sound, it was a man in a sword robe waving at him and flying towards him quickly.

After focusing his gaze, he realized that the person in front of him was Liu Jiangnan. So he quickly rushed over and asked excitedly, "Father-in-law, what are you doing here?"

"Tsk tsk, I actually came here a while ago, but then I went back to the sect for some time," he replied.

"My daughter informed me just now, so I hurriedly came here to find your whereabouts. In fact, my daughter anticipated that you would enter this place and asked me to be prepared."

"Of course, I have another reason for appearing here."

"This matter is a long story. Let me tell you in detail."

"Alright."

The two of them found a safe place to sit temporarily, and then Liu Jiangnan began to recount some recent events.

It turned out that before March, there was a turmoil in the imperial city, but no one knew the specific reason.

When the incident occurred, the entire imperial city was already covered by a black substance, making it almost impenetrable for anyone to enter.

At the first moment of the incident, Liu Jiangnan led most of the elders from the Lake Sword Sect to the scene to investigate.

Initially, there were quite a few cultivators present, not only from their Lake Sword Sect, but also many powerful individuals from various factions who came to observe.

At first, the shield surrounding the imperial city was not black, but a delicate gray. At that time, no one had any intention of attacking the gray shield, as no one wanted to provoke the emperor of the Rising Sun Empire. They all believed that it was a show orchestrated by the emperor to hide his true intentions.

It wasn't until a few days later that some people became suspicious and thought that there might be something hidden inside. They wanted to try to break through and enter.

Several cultivators from the same sect began to try to attack and destroy the shield, attempting to break through.

After someone made such an attempt, more and more people followed, creating a second wave, then a third wave...

More and more people recklessly attacked the shield enveloping the imperial city, causing the shield to be filled with the aftermath of spiritual power impacts.

However, after the cultivators joined forces to cast spells, they discovered that the shield was completely intact, even stronger than before.

The originally gray shield gradually transformed into black under the collective attacks of everyone.

At this point, it became impossible to see what was happening inside the shielded imperial city.

The powerful cultivators from various sects were also hesitant and prepared to leave.

At this critical moment, two powerful cultivators arrived, one middle-aged man and one young Stephanie.

After exploring the situation of the shield, the young Stephanie used a secret technique to forcefully create an opening and entered.

Many cultivators went crazy and rushed in without any regard for their safety upon seeing this.

It is still unknown who spread the rumor during this period, claiming that there were immense treasures inside the shielded imperial city, and whoever obtained them could directly achieve the supreme path. This attracted more and more people to go crazy.

Among the crowd of crazed people, Liu Jiangnan naturally recognized the familiar person who opened the black shield, Chu Qianqiu's father, and Xiao Hong.

Since these two hadn't entered yet, they happened to encounter Liu Jiangnan and had a brief conversation before parting ways again.

Chu Cangxuan told Liu Jiangnan that the interior of the shield was a very dangerous place, and they had only entered to rescue a Stephanie. He advised Liu Jiangnan not to follow.

Just as Liu Jiangnan was about to say something, a small Stephanie beside Chu Cangxuan handed him a dragon scale.

The small Stephanie said that this was the "key" to open the black shield, and as long as he had this dragon scale, he could enter and exit at any time.

Furthermore, she asked Liu Jiangnan to stay outside and wait, saying that her master would definitely come here to find her, and asked Liu Jiangnan to give this dragon scale to her master.

"So, this person's master is you?"

"I only just realized it now!"

At this point, Liu Jiangnan looked at Chu Qianqiu with a strange expression, unable to hold back his thoughts.

His current expression seemed to say, "My daughter-in-law is quite fancy, how did she make a small Stephanie call her master?"

Handing over the dragon scale, his face was full of excitement, as if he was about to blurt out that Chu Qianqiu was a bona fide mega pervert.
