Chapter 829 - 772: Ambush on the Road

Chapter 829: Chapter 772: Ambush on the Road

Inside the Qingyun Realm, rain poured down in torrents. The Heaven Pillar suddenly snapped. After the initial shock, almost everyone froze for a moment, thinking it was yet another test from some Mahayana Immortal Monarch, just like the second round of Demon Clan invasion.

It wasn’t until someone realized there was Tai Sui power mixed into the downpour that they panicked, screaming as they bolted for the edge of the Qingyun Realm.

The entire Qingyun Realm fell into chaos!

At the lowest level, the final battle between Yun Shang and the Luofu Sword Cultivators had yet to be decided, when the outside was already in utter turmoil.

Cultivators carrying Incense Fire items hurriedly sacrificed those Incense Fire artifacts to withstand the yellow rain, fleeing toward the boundary of the Qingyun Realm.

Yun Shang was at a loss, hastily recalling all her Spiritual Pets. Kong Jingyan rushed to her side at the first moment; her body was shrouded in a faint, sacred Golden Light. As the yellow rain fell onto that Golden Light, it instantly turned into black smoke and dissipated.

At Golden Core Level, only the two of them from the Heavenly Interence Sect had stayed; the others had long since left.

"Stay close to me!"

Kong Jingyan barked in a low voice. The Golden Light around her expanded to cover Yun Shang. The two of them fled outward together, saving several people along the way as much as they could.

The Divinity Transformation Cultivators were in the middle layer of the Qingyun Realm. When the yellow rain descended, they clearly saw the eight "Divinity Transformation Cultivators" who had been spectating suddenly pair up in twos, then rush toward the four Heaven Pillar locations to self-detonate their Primordial Spirits.

Fortunately, the other Divinity Transformation Cultivators reacted in time, keenly detecting the Demonic Qi on those eight and striking without delay, thus saving three Heaven Pillars; only one was blown off.

Otherwise, the entire Qingyun Realm would have collapsed in an instant.

Under the torrential rain, Xie Tianbao—who had been wandering everywhere, spectating and socializing—suddenly sacrificed a Copper Coin Net woven from Incense Fire Copper Coins. Meeting the wind, it grew, almost covering the entire firmament.

Such a grand gesture left people stunned, in utter disbelief!

Thanks to his Incense Fire and Copper Coin Net temporarily warding off the yellow rain, only a very small amount of yellow rain leaked through the gaps. Most Divinity Transformation Cultivators escaped disaster. After they killed the Demon Clan moles, they immediately joined forces to repair the Heaven Pillars, stabilizing the Qingyun Realm for the moment while waiting for a Mahayana Immortal Monarch to take over.

At the highest level of the Qingyun Realm, the Nascent Soul Cultivators fled outward in blind panic. Because of bad luck, many were injured in the chaos; exits on all sides were clogged, and some were even damaged by misfired Spells.

Shi Yuming stood still where he was, shouting at the fleeing crowd.

"Hold your ground, don’t move, don’t run, kh... cough, cough!"

Shi Yuming was suddenly choked by saliva, coughing violently. He was drenched by the yellow rain, yet from just now to this moment, he had taken the least damage of anyone—only because he had maintained Immovable as a Mountain the entire time. If he hadn’t spoken up, he wouldn’t even have been choked.

Immortal Monarch Cangliu had taught him that true Immovable as a Mountain could even withstand such illusory, traceless bad luck.

Damage caused by bad luck occurs passively; only when one moves first, or is affected by others, does bad luck kick in, turning originally harmless actions into harm.

Therefore, as long as you don’t move, don’t interact with heaven and earth, bad luck has nowhere to take hold.

Just like mountains and earth that get stained by Tai Sui fluids—without external force, they won’t actually be destroyed.

It was a pity too few people listened to Shi Yuming. Only those beside him—Pei Shengyue, Ye Tianlang, Wu Chao’s Wu Yang, Fengg Zhuxin, Zuo Qiuhe, and Zhao Benlei and a few others—hesitated for an instant, then chose to stay with Shi Yuming, sitting quietly on the ground, even holding their breath.

Shi Yuming, braving the risk of bad luck, lifted his foot and stepped on the ground. The earth around them instantly cracked, then rolled up and solidified above their heads, forming a natural barrier of soil and stone that temporarily warded off the downpour.

Fengg Zhuxin also took out all the Incense money remaining on her, giving more than ten pieces to each person to help neutralize the power of Tai Sui.

On Jiang Yuebai’s side, the halo emitted by the Bai Ze Horn smoothly protected Lu Nanzhi and Shen Huaxi.

Xie Jingshan followed behind Jiang Yuebai. Unlucky enough to trip, he happened to fall right at Jiang Yuebai’s feet, and Jiang Yuebai conveniently expanded the Bai Ze Horn’s halo to cover him.

Four people were already the limit of what she could drive the Bai Ze Horn to protect.

Shen Huaxi began pondering the whole situation. Xie Jingshan worried about the others from the True Martial Immortal Sect, yet was powerless to help. Lu Nanzhi watched Jiang Yuebai.

Jiang Yuebai noticed the Bai Ze Horn was constantly trembling inside her robes. She took it out, and the Horn, tied to its cord, immediately lunged in one direction with such force that it almost tore the rope apart.

The Bai Ze Horn must be pointing toward Bai Ze’s location; only Bai Ze could restrain Tai Sui’s power!

Realizing this, Jiang Yuebai immediately said to the others, "Follow me! I know how to suppress Tai Sui!"

Jiang Yuebai grabbed the Bai Ze Horn suspended in midair, clenching it in her palm, and sped toward the edge of the Qingyun Realm with Lu Nanzhi, Shen Huaxi, and Xie Jingshan in tow.

Though Xie Jingshan worried for people from the True Martial Immortal Sect, he also knew that only by solving the problem right at its source could everyone be saved.

Fortunately, the concentration of the yellow rain was not high. So far, most people were simply unlucky enough to be severely injured; the death toll was still low.

Right now, Xie Jingshan could only hope they could hold on a bit longer.

Jiang Yuebai pushed her movement technique speed directly to the limit. Fortunately, Lu Nanzhi and Xie Jingshan both practiced Carefree Travel, so they could keep up.

Shen Huaxi was no slouch either; as a Feather Clan Extraordinary Person, he already had a bloodline edge in speed. Seeing everyone go full throttle, he didn’t hide his strength, turning into a streak of blood light that tailed right behind.

The four of them shot past Pei Shengyue and the others like an arrow, the wind kicked up by their speed almost blowing those still figures over.

Pei Shengyue stared wide-eyed at the four receding figures, especially Shen Huaxi—who had once lost to her—and thought to herself that he truly had been holding back. The annoyance in her heart made Pei Shengyue silently swear that once she and everyone else escaped safely, she’d definitely seek Shen Huaxi out for another fight!

With the Bai Ze Horn’s power shielding them, Jiang Yuebai, though the exit area was in utter Chaos, with all sorts of Spell lights and Protective Gang Qi exploding into stray currents for no reason, still managed to blast through the obstructions. Before the Transmission Array collapsed, she got the others out.

As soon as the four reached the Transmission Array in the outer mountains of the Qingyun Realm, countless cleansing Spells swept toward them.

Jiang Yuebai’s body trembled; she hurriedly used the Primordial Magnetic Ruler to roll up black sand to block the oncoming force.

Only then did she see clearly that all those were elders from various Sects and families waiting at the Transmission Array exit to receive those who had escaped. They meant no harm.

"What’s going on inside? Why has the Transmission Array’s light dimmed?"

Seeing the Transmission Array fail, someone asked anxiously.

The Bai Ze Horn trembled even harder. Jiang Yuebai didn’t have time to explain. She had promised the Divine Tree to watch over the Demon Clan; without Luling’s consent, she couldn’t publicly reveal the secret that Luling was actually Bai Ze.

Jiang Yuebai shot a look at Lu Nanzhi and the others. They quickly broke away from the crowd, continuing to follow the Bai Ze Horn’s guidance, racing toward a very remote, forest-thick area in the southwest outer rim of the Qingyun Realm.

The outer rim of the Qingyun Realm, though free of yellow rain assaults, was still in utter Chaos because one Heaven Pillar had collapsed and the Qingyun Realm was now at risk of destruction.

It was similar to what they’d encountered in the second round: the Guardian Great Array had already activated to help stabilize the Qingyun Realm. No one could attack into the Qingyun Realm from outside, and those inside the Qingyun Realm couldn’t directly pass through the Guardian Great Array to escape.

This setup, besides protecting the people inside the Qingyun Realm, was also meant to trap moles should any infiltrate, so they could be captured later.

As they neared the cave where Luling and the others were trapped, Jiang Yuebai accelerated even more, her figure flashing more than thirty zhang forward in one go.

Just then, a violent gust of Palm Wind suddenly blasted out of the forest. The air was torn apart like cloth by that Palm Wind, as it mercilessly slammed toward Jiang Yuebai.

"Little Bai!"

The people behind her bulged their eyes in horror. Lu Nanzhi and Xie Jingshan drew their swords, while Shen Huaxi instantly condensed a Protective Magical Technique. The three surged forward together.

Jiang Yuebai’s hair was whipped up by the Palm Wind. Her expression chilled, and spatial ripples flared right at her side.

Boom!

The Palm force was displaced; the mountaintop above them was instantly blasted flat, not even rubble left behind. The sheer power of it shocked Shen Huaxi and the others to the core.

A figure wrapped entirely in a black robe, wearing a black iron mask on his face, stepped out to block their path. Roiling Demonic Qi seeped off his body.

Shen Huaxi frowned, feeling that Demonic Qi was different from the Palm Wind just now, not something naturally emanating from this person.

Just as they were guessing who this person was, Jiang Yuebai had already let out a cold laugh.

"Iron Palm Eunuch Dog, don’t think just because you changed dogskin that I, your auntie, wouldn’t recognize you, you Sleeve Breaker who even fucks ghosts to death!"

As Jiang Yuebai’s words dropped, Xie Jingshan’s brain froze on the spot, the information overload too much to process at once!

Shen Huaxi and Lu Nanzhi didn’t really get it, but the aura of the person before them clearly shook with rage, dispersing the deliberately emitted Demonic Qi around him and revealing his original Late-Stage Divinity Transformation pressure.

"You! Chenzhou Wanderer really is you, you Demoness! This honored self will tear you into ten thousand pieces today!"
