A monstrous momentum suddenly spewed out from the ground, and the evil qi that was just floating quietly around instantly turned restless. Everyone’s movements went stagnant, and they exchanged glances nervously.
“Graaah!”
“Hmm!” An oppressive growl suddenly pierced Chen Yu’s ears. She seemed to see a pair of bloodshot eyes slowly opening, and the icy killing intent it radiated stung her. She couldn’t help but stifle a grunt.
“Girl, what’s wrong?” Elder Wu sensed Chen Yu’s anomaly and asked out loud.
“Old Man…” Chen Yu turned her head with a pale face and addressed Elder Wu, “The drought demon seems to have woken up.”
The second Chen Yu’s words fe;;, the spiritual power lines drawn under the ground flickered intermittently without warning. It was as if something was interfering with the formation of the array diagram.
“What’s going on?” The doubtful voices of the masters sounded on the hillside.
“Quick, maintain the array diagram. It’s still a bit short of completion, but as long as they’re connected, it won’t be broken,” Shen Qingzhu shouted anxiously.
As soon as the others heard this, they accelerated completing the array.
“Perhaps when we were setting up the array, the spiritual power stimulated the drought demon below, which awakened it early,” Elder Wu reasoned solemnly. “How long can the underground seal last?”
Chen Yu closed her eyes. She felt a dark figure breaking free from the chains that bound its hands, and then sat up from the ground with its hands on the ground.
“He’s up.”
As if to prove Chen Yu’s news, the hillside shook fiercely, rumbling and stirring up a cloud of dust.
“The drought demon is awake?”
“Didn’t you say it would hold until tomorrow?”
“Hurry, the array is not yet finished.”
Elder Wu weighed for a moment, then turned his head and said to Chen Yu, “Don’t mind it. Finish drawing the array for now.”
“Mm.” Perhaps it was because Qing Ling and the drought demon had been coexisting for centuries, or maybe because she was originally a drought demon in her past life, Chen Yu was able to hear the drought demon’s voice and perceive its movements when no one else could.
Chen Yu struggled to ignore perceiving the drought demon’s every move that passed through her mind, trying to concentrate fully on completing the array diagram under her.
“Kacha!” The chains that bound the drought demon’s fee also broke free, and the tall figure stood up. He raised his head, staring doubtfully at the spiritual line above his head, and after watching for a few seconds, he suddenly raised his fist and punched with all his might.
“Boom!”
The Celestial Masters who were arranging the Coiled Dragon Array staggered unstably by the sudden force and almost crumpled to the ground.
“Hurry!” Shen Qingzhu’s eyes reddened with anxiety. “The drought demon is coming out soon.”
Is it too late?
Seeing that the drought demon was about to break through the seal with two more punches, Chen Yu used her consciousness and controlled the Spirit Pearl across the air. She tried to get it to return to the seal to stall for time. Although the seal was broken the moment the Spiritual Pearl broke away from it, and it was now impossible to detain the drought demon even if it was put back, at least the Spiritual Pearl could return to its place to stop the demon’s movements and let the seal withstand a few more punches.
Shen Qingzhu noticed Spiritual Pearl suddenly flying out of his pocket. Although he was surprised, he didn’t have the extra mental energy to deal with it. He just lowered his head and raced against time to set up the array.
On the winding mountain road a hundred miles away from Qingmang Mountain, Lou Ming, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. Immediately after, a series of exclamations from the soldiers in the rear burst out from the walkie-talkie.
“Assistant Tian, the box containing the spiritual artifacts is suddenly moving.”
“What?” Tian Fei was stunned and turned to look at Lou Ming intuitively.
“Stop!” Lou Ming ordered.
The three cars parked in a line on the mountain road. Lou Ming got off the car in the middle, turned around and walked towards the car behind.
“Young Master!” The soldier holding the box looked at Lou Ming nervously.
“Give me the box.” Lou Ming took the box containing the spiritual artifacts, and opened it. The three spiritual artifacts flew out of the box with a swoosh the instant the box was opened, and pointed to the northwest direction with trembling whirrs.
“Bam-bam-bam!” Fierce thuds were also heard from the car trunk. Tian Fei asked someone to open the trunk, and the long lance wrapped in silk flew out from it. Then, the other three pieces of spiritual artifacts floated together, with the lance also pointing directly to the northwest.
“Young Master, what’s wrong?” Tian Fei asked worriedly, “Did something happen in Qingmang Mountain?” Because the direction the three spiritual artifact were pointing was exactly Qingmang Mountain where Chen Yu and the others were.
The sudden change of the spiritual artifacts was due to the induction between the six artifacts, and it should be Shishi’s power that stimulated the Spiritual Pearl.
Lou Ming frowned. He stood on the edge of the winding mountain road and stared at the red sky in the distance. The unease in his heart expanded little by little.
“Boom!”
“Young Master!” Tian Fei pointed ahead in horror.
Lou Ming looked closely. The bloody red that was tightly imprisoned instantly cracked as if something had pierced it. It broke apart. Blood seemingly flowed into the sea and instantly stained the turquoise sky red, while still spreading outward at an alarming rate.
The sealing has failed!
The second when the evil qi spread, the four spiritual weapons that were originally floating in the air also fell down at the same time.
Lou Ming’s pupils shrank, and his panic overwhelmed him: “Let’s go back.”
With Lou Ming’s command, the three cars turned around and headed back toward Qingmang Mountain at full speed.
The author has something to say:
Lady: When did we first meet? If you answer correctly, I will promise to be your girlfriend.
Young Wu was abnormally pumped up: I remember, I remember. We met for the first time in Qilian Mountain during the Profound Spirit Grand Competition. You were wearing a light blue dress and two braids.
Lady: No.
So Young Wu remained single until a long, long time later, when the lady turned into a wisp of fragrance in his arms; only then did he remember the flower seedling that he had carefully cared for when he was a child.
