Chapter 669: Chapter 180: I Heard Two Can Fight (3rd Update)
The wind and snow howled fiercely—
Chu Ling’s spiritual voice reached everyone’s ears.
“Golden Gate… decoding complete!”
In the distance where the torrential snowstorm raged, a towering Gate of Heaven appeared, radiating a dazzling golden brilliance.
Once they stepped into the cetery, they lost track of the Golden Gate.
The reason was simple.
This Disaster Realm had erased all “coordinates” corresponding to the real world.
Only those who mastered the Array Patterns could see the truth and illusion between the two worlds…
“Evacuate!”
“Quick… evacuate!”
Bai Xiaochi began to quickly organize the Transcendents’ departure.
…
…
This was the hardest day in Changye in twenty years.
After a massive explosion, the Qingzhong Cetery fell entirely into Silent Annihilation.
And nearly a thousand of the Transcendents sent into the cetery remained without any trace.
Waiting outside the gate, Zhou Wei and Mr. Shan, although still calm in appearance, couldn’t hide the urgency in their eyes.
“Gentlen, I still propose… that we should enter the cetery.”
Zhu Wang suggested his opinion for perhaps the umpteenth ti.
His proposal had no issues.
The cetery’s interior might be undergoing unprecedented changes, and external reinforcents could be needed… but the current situation was too severe, leaving no room for rash decisions.
All the Transcendents who had entered the cetery seed as if they had stepped into a different dinsional space.
Zhou Wei adamantly opposed, “Wait a bit longer.”
Mr. Shan, however, showed so hesitation, he lifted his head muttering, “A day has already passed…”
Those who had entered the cetery hadn’t sent back the slightest bit of news.
This included not only his subordinates but also the Family Heads whose cultivation was no less than his own!
“Mr. Shan, if the cetery needs reinforcents… and you choose to suppress our actions, the Judgent Institute will hold you accountable.”
Han Dang had sohow arrived beside Zhu Wang at so point.
He pushed his gold-rimd glasses up, his voice soft yet sinister, “Forgive my impertinence, but the Federation law is very strict regarding the control of major incidents. Standing by idly at this critical mont could brew a catastrophe, and you would have to bear the full responsibility.”
Though his tone was gentle.
His words were like arrows, aiming straight for the heart.
“Wait a bit longer.”
Zhou Wei saw Mr. Shan’s indecision, extended a hand to his shoulder, and said with a deep voice, “I am the chairman of the Federation Security Committee and the commanding officer of the cetery mission. I will bear all arising responsibilities.”
Mr. Shan took a deep breath, stabilizing his mindset.
This statent, however, made Zhu Wang’s brow furrow.
He exchanged a glance with his proud disciple Han Dang, a shadow crossing both their eyes.
According to the original plan.
They should also have entered the cetery, but now they were firmly blocked by Zhou Wei… not only were Zhou Wei and Mr. Shan unable to receive signals from the cetery, but so were they.
Zhu Wang and Han Dang had no idea what was happening inside.
Had Xu Yan’s mission succeeded?
Had Bai Xiu died?
Had Gu Lushen obtained all the Family Head Tokens?
And as ti went by.
The more unsure they felt at the bottom of their hearts.
“Teacher, I have a bad feeling.”
Han Dang pushed his glasses up again and confided in a soft ntal voice, “Why do I feel… the power of the Wine God is waning?”
He had received a gift from the Wine God.
A strand of purple Divine Power wrapped around his Spirit Sea, ready to be invoked at any ti.
Though not reaching the level of an Angel Envoy, Han Dang’s combat strength had significantly increased… With his current understanding of Deep Sea at the eleventh level, if he decided to strike suddenly, even sneak attacking a Titled Transcendent, he had a three in ten chance of success!
However.
The strand of purple Divine Power in his Spirit Sea seed to be slowly fading away.
Less and less, less and less…
What was happening?
Han Dang felt uneasy, looking towards his teacher, while Zhu Wang gave his disciple a calming gaze.
In fact, he too had this feeling.
The power of the Wine God was waning… could it be that sothing unforeseen had occurred in the cetery, necessitating the retraction of the bestowed blessings?
Rember, to the Wine God, these gifts were rely a drop in the bucket concerning his powers.
If it had co to withdrawing Divine Power, it ant that the situation of the Wine God in the cetery was very bad!
“Just wait a little longer…”
Zhu Wang murmured, “If the situation changes, then we shall alter our plan…”
Upon stepping into the courtyard of the Wine God.
Zhu Wang knew that with one misstep leading to another, there was no turning back.
If this plan failed and he was arrested, he would face the East Continent Federation’s harshest punishnt!
“Change the plan…”
Han Dang was slightly startled, murmuring, “What do you an by that?”
“Leave Changye…”
Zhu Wang said calmly, “More precisely, leave East Continent.”
This statent sowhat surprised Han Dang.
He suddenly felt that the teacher standing before him seed unfamiliar.
For so many years, the teacher had fought for the position of the Grand Judge, and although the ans to reach the top were despised by many… regardless of the process, the teacher had now accomplished this almost impossible goal.
Han Dang had thought that the teacher was the least likely person to leave Changye.
Now, hearing this casually uttered by Zhu Wang… his heart filled with mixed feelings, he involuntarily looked down at his own hands.
So it was.
The mont they accepted the power of the Wine God.
Both he and his teacher.
Had beco the strangers they no longer recognized.
“What… can’t bear to leave?”
Zhu Wang noted Han Dang’s unusual reaction.
“No… No…” Han Dang gave a wry smile and transmitted his voice, “It’s just that I never considered this possibility, so I’m a bit dazed.”
Before the God of Wine entered the cetery.
They had been completely confident in this plan… believing it would surely succeed!
However, the deathly stillness within the cetery made both Zhu Wang and Han Dang falter.
“I know you must be reluctant to leave… This is the place where you have lived for decades.”
Zhu Wang slightly lowered his eyes and said, “Who would be willing to leave just like that? But if the plan fails and we stay here, you will be executed, and so will I. The only way out is to leave Changye and head for the Source Tower!”
Did he have a choice?
No choice at all!
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind surged between heaven and earth!
The distant Golden Gate suddenly burst into a dazzling and intense brilliance!
Zhu Wang and Han Dang’s pupils constricted.
Mr. Shan and Zhou Wei’s faces showed excitent.
“Has the Golden Gate… opened?!”
Yet to their surprise, when the Golden Gate was wide open, countless wind and snow poured out from within the cetery… If they rembered correctly, it wasn’t the season for snowfall in Qingzhong Cetery yet?
Tons of snow waterfalls tumbled out!
Zhou Wei’s expression instantly beca solemn. He raised his hands, and nurous snowflakes defrosted, turning into a flow of water, dispersing in all directions. He exerted all his strength to use his abilities, opening up a water gateway several dozen feet high!
Amidst the wind and snow, dozens, hundreds of Transcendent silhouettes leaped out!
These Transcendents were covered in blood, bearing wounds… yet extrely orderly!
They were no longer organized as they were upon entering the mausoleum; Transcendents from the five major families and three major institutes were mixed together, yet they were quite unified.
Mr. Shan was puzzled.
What exactly had happened inside the cetery?
Before they could react, a surge of spiritual fluctuation rapidly transmitted out.
“Mr. Shan, Zhou Wei… Arrest Zhu Wang and Han Dang with all haste! They’re believers of the God of Wine’s seat!”
It was Bai Xiaochi’s voice.
Having gone through Gu Lushen’s attack, Bai Xiaochi had completely figured out the God of Wine’s conspiracy and the personnel arrangent of this tumultuous event in the cetery… Currently outside the cetery, there were still two ticking ti bombs!
Once they left the cetery, they must be removed imdiately!
This transmission, when it reached the ears of Mr. Shan and Zhou Wei, caused both of their expressions to stiffen in shock.
…The God of Wine’s seat?
For the two outside the cetery, the God of Wine’s seat was indeed a na that was miles away from relevance.
So far, Mr. Shan still thought this was most likely a malignant Transcendent event caused by the out-of-control Array Patterns.
However.
As soon as Bai Xiaochi’s voice rang out, they could clearly see the situation on the other side of the gateway. Gu Qilin, Gong Qing, and Mu Yi were all being supported, in a state of unconsciousness and severe injuries…
Without any hesitation, Mr. Shan made his move.
He stretched out his palm toward Zhu Wang and Han Dang, who were at a distance, and a stone mountain abruptly rose from the ground, forming a prison cage!
And at the sa ti…
“Escape!”
Zhu Wang narrowed his eyes. The mont he saw the Golden Gate wide open, he vaguely felt sothing was wrong. His spiritual power swept around, and not even a shadow of an “ally” could be seen.
Xu Yan, Mr. Jin, Bai Zesheng, Gu Lushen… All were absent!
They had all been taken out!
His forehead’s veins bulged, no longer concealing anything, he directly grabbed Han Dang by his side and soared into the sky.
Han Dang also reacted swiftly, imdiately deploying the “Verbatim” domain. With the God of Wine’s Divine Power, he delivered a rciless strike at Mr. Shan!
“Uh…”
The Grand Judge grunted.
Unprepared, he was struck by Han Dang’s powerful spiritual blow, feeling as if his mind had been pierced by so sharp instrunt.
For a mont, he lost his vision.
Consequently, the stone prison that had just risen failed to solidify and was shattered by Zhu Wang in a flash.
Yet… The formidable underlying strength of a Transcendent allowed him to recover quickly.
Mr. Shan clenched his fist and heavily threw a punch toward the master and disciple duo who had escaped nearly a hundred ters away.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
This punch shattered the air and hit Han Dang directly in the abdon!
“Cough…”
Han Dang never expected Mr. Shan’s punch to be so heavy, as if smashed by a great mountain, he coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood!
His eyeballs nearly burst out of their sockets from the impact.
And the force of that punch continued to press down!
His body was about to be broken in half… only kept intact by the Divine Power of the God of Wine frantically repairing the flesh’s tears, he barely managed to survive this ordeal.
A kiloter later.
The terrifying power of Mr. Shan’s punch faded.
And just as Han Dang thought he had escaped…
A slight whistling sound entwined around his ear.
“Ssssh!”
A gash blood across his cheek, and the intense force suddenly exploded, almost ripping Han Dang’s head to shreds!
He howled in agony.
Zhu Wang stopped his fleeing steps.
He silently looked toward the origin of that breeze, where it had returned to.
A slender wind blade slid into its wooden sheath.
A young man holding a long sword, standing in the middle of the road, wearing a mantle and a bamboo hat, weary from travel, covered in frost and dust.
Gu Nanfeng calmly asked, “Acting Grand Judge, sir, it’s been a long ti… Just where are you hurrying off to?”
He purposefully emphasized the word ‘acting.’
Behind Gu Nanfeng, nearly a hundred Transcendents followed… This was a squad not belonging to any of Changye’s three institutes or five major families.
They ca from Da Du.
Leading this group of Transcendents was a slovenly young man wearing flip-flops.
Song Ci held a wild grass root in his mouth, squinting his eyes with profound aning as he looked at the two before him, sensing a familiar aura from them.
It was the Divine Power of the God of Wine.
When Song Ci sensed the power of the God of Wine, the apostle’s badge automatically triggered, emitting a gentle snow-white radiance.
Song Ci unfolded a pair of striking white parrot wings from his back.
He slowly ascended, standing shoulder to shoulder with Gu Nanfeng, blocking the way for the two n.
Song Ci, itching for action, twisted his neck, producing a series of crisp sounds.
He smiled and asked, “I heard… the two of you are quite the fighters?”
