"What?" Xiong Zhi's heart stirred; this was tremendous news.
"After calculations, if the sun in this world is no different from the sun in our world, then a Solar Storm will occur in half a year. The sun will emit high-speed Particle Streams, and this place will also be affected. As long as we collide the chaotic flow of sword energy with the Particle Stream from the Solar Storm, it is entirely possible to create Temporal Turbulence!"
"Then, wouldn't anyone releasing sword energy at that time be able to travel through time?" Xiong Zhi asked. After all, he wasn't the only one who could wield sword energy in this world.
"Not quite, sir. The collision of these two Particle Streams is likely to result in an explosion. I believe even those strong in sword energy would not dare to play with it like that. However, I have a unique method to ensure that the explosion occurs within the Particle Stream rather than being released outward, thus creating Temporal Turbulence."
However, there was a significant danger involved: time and space intertwining? Who had ever ventured into that? No one knew what it was like inside.
"Of course, sir, fear of the unknown is something all animals possess, and humans are no exception. So if you feel that this cannot be done, that's fine; we can just live here."
Xiong Zhi shook his head; how could that be possible? This place was still unsuitable for him; Zero did not belong here either.
"If I die from the impact, I would just travel again," Xiong Zhi thought.
Such things were absurd in the first place.
"Let's set off," Xiong Zhi said to Xia Yun.
If Zero's calculations were correct, then Xiong Zhi's time was limited. He needed to clarify everything he cared about in this world as soon as possible.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Five days later, in the State of Chu, at Nine Swords Manor.
In front of the main gate of Nine Swords Manor.
"What happened inside?" Xiong Zhi and Xia Yun stood outside looking in; the noise inside was chaotic and did not seem like a good day at all.
"Let's go take a look," Xiong Zhi beckoned to Xia Yun.
In the Nine Swords Manor, there was not even a single gatekeeper, and for some reason, chaos had already gathered inside.
"Today marks the fourth year since his death... You all will accompany him in burial." A woman's voice was sweet yet chilling.
Xiong Zhi faintly heard this voice, and his body trembled slightly.
"She..." Xiong Zhi recalled someone he had buried deep in his heart.
"Must have misheard..." Xiong Zhi bitterly smiled and glanced at Xia Yun beside him.
Xia Yun seemed to sense something unusual about Xiong Zhi.
"Let's go take a look," Xiong Zhi said.
The two continued forward side by side.
"Who are you!" Two men with swords blocked Xiong Zhi's path.
"You'd better not interfere," Xiong Zhi replied with a friendly smile.
The two men were momentarily taken aback, but Xiong Zhi had already walked past them. Naturally, they would not allow Xiong Zhi to pass freely and raised their swords to attack him.
Without turning his head, Xiong Zhi placed his hand on the sword behind him. Suddenly, a surge of momentum erupted from the sword, directly knocking the two blocking his way off balance.
"I told you not to meddle," Xiong Zhi said calmly as he looked at the shocked expressions of the two men.
In fact, at the moment Xiong Zhi grasped the sword, it was Zero who intervened; only Zero could accurately unleash the strongest sword energy.
Xiong Zhi had been a slave here before and had been to almost every place except for the bedrooms, so he led Xia Yun to the main hall with ease.
Such chaotic events usually occurred in the main hall.
"Um..." Xiong Zhi saw the figure that had caused chaos in the Nine Swords Manor, and for a moment, he couldn't make a sound.
"Lan..." Xiong Zhi slowly took a step forward.
The woman also trembled as if she had been electrocuted, her grip on the spear gradually loosening as she turned around.
"You... you're really alive..." Xiong Zhi and the woman spoke simultaneously.
Xia Yun, standing to the side, suddenly understood what was happening. Xiong Zhi had once told her about a woman he could never forget named Lan, who was already dead.
Xia Yun didn't believe in love at first sight, but she had fallen for Xiong Zhi at first glance... Moreover, Xia Yun believed that even if Xiong Zhi had someone else in his heart, she could win him over with time...
After all, that person was dead. Given enough time, Xiong Zhi would surely develop feelings for Xia Yun...
However, Xia Yun's optimistic thoughts were completely negated at that moment. Xiong Zhi and Lan exchanged glances, and Xia Yun felt entirely superfluous.
"She..." Lan looked at Xia Yun with a hint of implication.
"Ah... this is... my friend..." Xiong Zhi hurriedly replied, even he didn't know why he was so flustered. Was he afraid Lan would ignore him?
"Oh." Lan responded succinctly and then gave Xia Yun a deep look.
"What are you two doing!" the Master of the Manor of Nine Swords asked.
"My friend... but my purpose here is to take revenge for him. I didn't expect him to still be alive... then I'll spare you," Lan said with a light laugh. She had been very angry earlier but now felt quite happy.
The Master of the Manor of Nine Swords breathed a sigh of relief. This woman was incredibly strong; he had just sent someone out to find help and was wondering if Nine Swords Manor could hold out until assistance arrived.
"Let's go back," Lan playfully winked at Xiong Zhi and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute," Xiong Zhi stopped her. "Master of the Manor, I want to know how I came here with her five years ago, who brought us here, and where we came from."
Master of the Manor just relaxed, but immediately tensed up again: "I... how would I know about such things?"
"Not going to say?" Xiong Zhi sneered, a silver flash cutting through the air, and the chair beside Master of the Manor instantly turned to dust.
"Uh... I'll go check... I'll go check." Master of the Manor didn't dare to be negligent; dealing with one woman was already difficult enough, and now there was a man too.
Master of the Manor ran into a room, and Xiong Zhi didn't follow. With so many people in the manor, Master of the Manor probably wouldn't dare to leave them unattended...
"Lan... how are you..." Xiong Zhi looked at Lan in disbelief. It had been a long time since they last met; Lan was even more beautiful now and had become formidable.
"I'm not dead; I survived and found a master to learn marksmanship. Now I'm among the best..." As Lan spoke, her expression dimmed, "Four years ago, when the royal mansion was slaughtered, I thought you were inside, so I've been thinking about avenging you."
Xiong Zhi was taken aback; it turned out that what Lan just said about "the fourth year since he died" meant this... This fool had trained for this reason.
Looking at Lan, who was on the verge of tears, Xiong Zhi felt a surge of tenderness and wanted to embrace her.
Although they had never confirmed their relationship, both knew clearly that even when they were still slaves, they understood each other well.
Just moments ago, both had thought the other was dead. Arriving at Nine Swords Manor, they both harbored thoughts of avenging each other, although Xiong Zhi also intended to investigate his own background.
Xia Yun had been silent on the side; she couldn't find anything to say. Watching the infatuated Lan and the gentle Xiong Zhi, she felt like an annoying third wheel.
They were so affectionate, and here she was trying to interfere...
"Alright, it's all in the past. From now on, let's be together, okay?" Xiong Zhi finally mustered his courage, reached out his hands to pull Lan close, and embraced her.
"......"
"......"
Lan didn't know what to say; her cheeks were burning... Xia Yun also didn't know what to say; her heart felt cold.
In the dungeon, five days ago, Xiong Zhi had just been taken by her.
"I was being overly sentimental... It was already despicable of me to seduce her from the start..." Xia Yun said with a bitter smile.
"I found it!!" The Master of the Manor came out and saw a group of people from the manor surrounding three individuals, two of whom were still embracing each other.
"Ahem..." The Master of the Manor cleared his throat several times.
Xiong Zhi released her hold and took the record book that the Master of the Manor handed over.
"This is what we found. It's normal for our manor to purchase some slaves, so we kindly ask the three lords to let us off this time," the Master of the Manor said.
"Well..." Xiong Zhi saw the matter regarding herself and Lan; it was that day, there was only one transaction, and Lan was definitely involved.
Xiong Zhi did not want to kill the Master of the Manor. She initially thought about it, but after seeing Lan, she changed her mind. It should be normal for a manor to trade in slaves... in this society.
"Xu Long, Anding City." A killing intent rose in Xiong Zhi's eyes, an unprecedented killing intent.
