Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Chapter 1175 - 1051: Eerie Dense Fog

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, learning from the words of Xuanzhen's subordinate that there might indeed be danger waiting for them here today.His eyes flashed as he asked, "May I know how to address this Immortal? If danger arises, we'll be able to call your name!"

Previously, Xuanzhen's subordinate hadn't disclosed his real name; therefore, Duan Gujin and the other martial artists knew only that he was a subordinate of Immortal Xuanzhen.

Xuanzhen's subordinate's eyes flickered, saying, "You may call me Senior Xuan, or simply Immortal Xuan!"

"Alright, if danger truly comes, I'll call you Senior Xuan!"

Duan Gujin replied.

"Very well!"

Senior Xuan nodded slightly, acknowledging.

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed. He knew that some Immortals in the Immortal Domain had peculiar temperaments, so since this Immortal wanted to be called Senior Xuan, he had to comply.

"I've imparted the method of using this compass. With it, you will lead others in activities within the Nine Phase World!"

After some time, Senior Xuan transmitted a strand of Divine Thought to Duan Gujin.

Duan Gujin read the strand quickly and understood it contained the method of controlling the compass.

Very quickly, he grasped the manipulation technique of the compass.

At this moment, Senior Xuan produced the compass for locating the Heavenly Stone, letting Duan Gujin control it.

In less than ten breaths, Duan Gujin had proficiently mastered the operation of the compass.

"This compass isn't very precise!"

After using it, Duan Gujin remarked.

"There's nothing to be done; the compass is inherently like this. In the Nine Phase World, you mustn't rely completely on this compass. Be exceedingly cautious as the indicated distance might not be accurate. You must be very vigilant!"

Senior Xuan said seriously.

"Understood, I will!"

Duan Gujin exhaled, responding.

"Now, which location does the compass indicate as nearest to us?"

Senior Xuan inquired.

"This direction, approximately thirty kilometers away from us!"

Duan Gujin answered.

"Then gather the team and lead them toward this target. I will follow you. From now on, learn to become self-reliant here!"

Senior Xuan instructed.

"Understood!"

At this juncture, Duan Gujin speculated that Senior Xuan believed the enemy would be too powerful for them to handle, fearing the team couldn't survive the impending ordeal.

Duan Gujin immediately gathered the other martial artists and explained that he would be leading them henceforth.

Though the others were skeptical, Senior Xuan's orders were clear, causing the others to cease doubting Duan Gujin's authority.

Soon, under Duan Gujin's leadership, the team advanced toward the destination.

Along the way, they were extremely cautious, not wanting to encounter Exotic Realm Creatures or Demon Blade Battle Clan.

On their path, they suddenly saw numerous bodies sprawled on the ground, most of them recognized as Exotic Realm Creatures.

They inspected the ground carefully and soon found some corpses belonging to the Demon Blade Battle Clan.

Duan Gujin surmised that a battle occurred here between those Exotic Realm Creatures and the Demon Blade Battle Clan, judging from the fresh bloodstains that this conflict happened not long ago.

"Everyone, proceed with caution!"

Duan Gujin's brow furrowed as he cautiously led the team onward.

Shortly after, they saw a region ahead surrounded by dense fog.

Duan Gujin took out the compass; shortly afterward, he confirmed that the Heavenly Stone was within the foggy region.

"Dear friend, you'll act independently from here on; I'll provide guidance from the sidelines."

Senior Xuan said to Duan Gujin.

"Alright!"

Duan Gujin acknowledged and instructed the martial artists behind him to hide properly.

Once the group had hidden well, he drew near the foggy region, seeking to uncover its peculiarities.

About fifty meters from the fog, he channeled his Primordial Power, swung his right hand, and launched a Sword Qi at the fog.

Boom!

Almost immediately, a thunderous crash echoed forth.

His brow furrowed; the Sword Qi he'd unleashed had struck the fog, stopped firmly by it.

"No wonder I found the fog suspicious; turns out, there's an array."

His eyes flickered as he quickly used Domain Power to shield himself.

As he drew nearer to the foggy area, he released more Sword Qi toward it.

Yet astonishingly, each Sword Qi he sent was blocked by the array within the fog.

While puzzled, he suddenly noticed the fog releasing substantial mist out of it again.

Originally, he believed the mist would vanish into the air upon emerging.

However, unexpectedly, the mist rapidly coalesced in the vicinity.

He sensed the freshly released mist forming a powerful Defensive Magic Array. To validate his senses, he swung his right hand to release Sword Qi toward the newly formed mist.

Almost in the next instant, he saw his Sword Qi striking the freshly formed mist but getting intercepted by the mist's array.

"What is this?"

Duan Gujin inhaled deeply, finally understanding the strangeness of the foggy area.

His eyes flickered as he retrieved the compass once more, soon confirming that the compass indicated the Heavenly Stone was nearby.

"What lies within the mist, and why is it so peculiar?"

As he pondered, he suddenly noticed the mist erupting again, quickly forming in the vicinity.

Watching the rapid formation of mist, Duan Gujin's eyes brightened, recalling a legend he'd heard in a previous life.

He took a deep breath and immediately channeled his Fire Attribute Power, launching a Fireball into the fog.

The Fireball he released wasn't fast, easily dodged by any Martial Saint Realm martial artist.

The martial artists from the Divine World behind him furrowed their brows, contemplating the purpose of Duan Gujin's Fireball.

As Duan Gujin's Fireball struck the mist, it exploded with a bang.

Simultaneously, he noticed the fog, hit by the Fireball, significantly thinning.

"I knew it; I understand how to deal with those black insects now!"
