Seeing the Soul-Breaking Spear flying out, Wang Yan was shocked and immediately shook his body to chase after the Soul-Breaking Spear.
With an outstretched hand, he grasped the Soul-Breaking Spear, and exerting force to pull it back, Wang Yan attempted to retrieve the spear shaft.
But at this moment, Wang Yan felt a powerful suction force emanating from the Heaven-Reaching Giant Peak. This force was so strong that even Wang Yan found it difficult to resist.
Not only did he fail to pull back the Soul-Breaking Spear, but he was also being dragged forward alongside it.
Wang Yan was greatly alarmed in his heart.
At this moment, except for not utilizing his Divine Power, Wang Yan had already exerted all his strength.
Yet even so, he still could not stop the forward momentum of the Soul-Breaking Spear.
Although Wang Yan wanted to infuse his Divine Power into the Soul-Breaking Spear multiple times, he restrained himself from doing so in his moments of impulse.
After all, revealing his cultivation too early would not be appropriate for the final victory.
Watching as the Soul-Breaking Spear leads and he follows, constantly being pulled towards the Heaven-Reaching Giant Peak.
And vaguely, Wang Yan felt that the Soul-Breaking Spear itself did not resist the powerful suction of the Heaven-Reaching Giant Peak, but seemed rather delighted to be drawn into it.
What on earth is happening here?
At this point, Wang Yan no longer cared about absorbing the black mist, merely holding onto the Soul-Breaking Spear with all his might.
The black mist resumed its menacing form, transforming into countless massive black hands reaching towards Wang Yan.
Wang Yan suddenly found himself in a predicament.
He had to dodge the gigantic black hands while maintaining his hold on the Soul-Breaking Spear, momentarily torn between advancement and retreat, caught between two difficulties.
In desperation, Wang Yan could only pull back fiercely, also retracting Hei Ying into the Starlight Ring.
Once Hei Ying disappeared, the great suction on the Soul-Breaking Spear vanished immediately.
But without Hei Ying, the Soul-Breaking Spear also lost the ability to absorb Yin Souls, facing the enormous black hands striking from all directions, Wang Yan relied on his speed to dodge left and right, retreating a long distance away.
When Wang Yan had retreated over half a mile, the giant black hands retracted, and the black mist above Xianyang City returned to calm.
However, during the retreat, Wang Yan sensed that even though the black gun Sakura was in the Starlight Ring, it continued to pulse, attempting to break free and fly towards the Heaven-Reaching Giant Peak in Xianyang City.
Wang Yan hurriedly suppressed Hei Ying with his mind, but it only slowed down its throbbing slightly.
This caused Wang Yan's brow to furrow even deeper, not only did he fail to breach Xianyang City, but he also caused Hei Ying to become abnormal.
Could it be that Ying Zheng is truly this powerful? Before he even entered Xianyang City or saw Ying Zheng, he had already lost an important Magical Treasure.
Moreover, even until now, Wang Yan couldn't understand why his Hei Ying became abnormal without any reason?
At this point, Wang Yan dared not use any other Magical Treasures to attack Xianyang City, lest they turn out like Hei Ying did.
The current plan is to figure out the reason behind Hei Ying's abnormality, then consider how to breach Xianyang City.
Therefore, Wang Yan immediately turned around and flew towards the distance.
As Wang Yan moved away from Xianyang City, the connection between Hei Ying and the Heaven-Reaching Giant Peak grew weaker, and thus gradually stabilized.
The Demon Cultivators within Xianyang City did not notice any change in Hei Ying, initially thinking that Xianyang City was about to be breached, only to find the Demon Wolf King voluntarily withdrawing at the last moment.
The Demon Cultivators called it a stroke of luck in their hearts, believing that Wang Yan feared Ying Zheng's renown, immediately breaking into cheers of celebration.
Wang Yan had retreated several miles away when the black Sakura in the Starlight Ring finally calmed down, at which point Wang Yan stopped.
Landing on the ground, Wang Yan took out Hei Ying.
Holding Hei Ying in his hands, he observed it carefully.
Yet no matter how he looked, Hei Ying appeared completely normal, without any trace of anomaly.
This left Wang Yan bewildered, at a loss for what to do.
As Wang Yan was perplexed, he suddenly saw a figure flying towards him from afar, calling out loudly from a great distance: "Marshal, Marshal—"
Upon hearing the call, Wang Yan turned his head and saw the person flying towards him was actually Duobao.
When Duobao landed in front of him, Wang Yan asked puzzledly, "Why did you come back so quickly? Where is Xue'er?"
With a laugh, Duobao said, "Marshal, you asked me to accompany the madam in search of reinforcements, but I noticed that Qinrong Palace has left its original location not far away, hence I immediately realized that the Marshal intended to attack Xianyang City solo."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Indeed, nothing escapes your nose."
However, Wang Yan then asked somewhat nervously, "Where is Xue'er?"
Duobao answered, "Rest assured, Marshal. I found an excuse to leave alone, and the madam went in search of Fang Jinchun and the others herself."
Hearing that Beiming Xue hadn't come, Wang Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief, knowing that Xianyang City was extremely dangerous, and he really couldn't ensure Beiming Xue's safety.
As for Duobao, he didn't dare disobey his orders, so even if he came, he could simply command him to return.
Before Wang Yan could order Duobao to leave, Duobao had anticipated Wang Yan's intention and quickly changed the subject, "Marshal, let's head to Xianyang City now, hm, what's with that gun Sakura in your hand?"
Just as Wang Yan was about to scold Duobao and send him away, he suddenly heard Duobao's inquiry about the gun Sakura, and his eyes lit up immediately.
Since Duobao was particularly sensitive to Magical Treasures, perhaps he could discern the reason behind Hei Ying's earlier anomaly.
Immediately, Wang Yan recounted everything that had happened outside Xianyang City to Duobao in detail.
After listening, Duobao took the Hei Ying from Wang Yan's hand and examined it carefully.
But after inspecting it, Duobao also appeared puzzled, as he couldn't discern anything unusual about Hei Ying either.
After a long pause, Duobao said, "Marshal, the only way now is for us to return to Xianyang City and explore further."
Wang Yan thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "It seems that's the only option left."
Wang Yan once again stored Hei Ying into the Starlight Ring, and the two of them took to the sky, flying towards Xianyang City's direction.
Having flown several miles, before even seeing Xianyang City, Duobao suddenly stopped, his nose twitching towards Xianyang City's direction, gradually revealing an expression of excitement on his face.
A moment later, Duobao said to Wang Yan, "Marshal, I think I've found the reason."
Seeing the excitement on Duobao's face, Wang Yan asked in confusion, "Could it be that you discovered something?"
Duobao slapped his thigh and said, "Indeed, I found that the Heaven-Reaching Peak in Xianyang City and your Hei Ying share the same origin."
"The same origin?" Wang Yan's eyes lit up.
"Yes, which means that the Heaven-Reaching Giant Peak and Hei Ying originate from the same source, or they were two fragments of the same Magical Treasure."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan completely understood why Hei Ying had actively sought the Heaven-Reaching Giant Peak.
Hei Ying, so powerful, might just be a fragment of a Magical Treasure. If Hei Ying and the Heaven-Reaching Giant Peak merge to become whole, how earth-shatteringly powerful would the combined Magical Treasure become?
"I must acquire the Heaven-Reaching Giant Peak!"
