Chapter 399: Chapter 399: After the Chaos

The terrifying energy swept through the sky, the dazzling beam like a flowing light river slicing through the rain curtain, even dispersing this eternal deluge over a considerable range.

Where the beam went, the rain instantly evaporated, the clouds curled and quaked, the shockwave shattered the layers of clouds, even bringing a brief moment of sunlight to this sky—when the beam gradually receded, a long-missed ray of sunshine penetrated the clouds, shining on the distant Ancient Refining Tower.

However, shortly after, the clouds gradually gathered, and the rain poured down once more.

The surviving black-clothed cultivators sensed the terrifying energy gathering the moment Erin raised her hand, scattering like birds and beasts without delay, Hu Li and Luna couldn’t even stop them.

The remaining mystical beasts ran amok in the violent and turbulent energy aftershocks, then were swept away by the dense Foxfire Barrage.

The Jade-faced Golden Fox Girl in a red dress looked up dumbfoundedly at the sky, speechless for a long time, until the rain fell again, she suddenly reacted with a shiver, hugging her tail, trembling with fear.

Zheng Zhi stood dazed for a long time, turning his head to look beside him.

Just now, the Six-tailed Tibetan Fox had woken up again, only to see Erin sweeping the sky clear with a blast cannon, and once more exclaimed, "My life is over!" before fainting again.

But this time Master Yuan Hao didn’t pay attention to the fainted Tibetan Fox, instead, after getting up, he looked thoughtfully at the little puppet still floating in the sky with electric lights flashing all over, stroking his chin and pondering for a long time before muttering to himself: "...What’s the principle behind this?"

Hu Li looked around, suddenly sniffed the air, and quickly ran towards a corner of the battlefield, finding Erin (Reinforced Steel) who had just been flung out from mid-air in a mud pit—it must be said that this body truly deserves to be made of reinforced steel, not only strong but also durable, falling from such a height without breaking apart, just looking a bit dizzy.

"Are you okay?" Hu Li reached out and pulled the bedraggled little puppet out of the mud pit, then randomly wiped her face with his hand, "I saw you fall from the sky just now..."

Erin (Reinforced Steel) was dizzy and her eyes were half-closed, after a while, she finally reestablished connection with her body, looking up at Hu Li: "Falling, falling, it almost killed me... nearly fell to death!"

Meanwhile, another Erin (Pro max/Mysterious Iron/Lightning Charge+++/Supersaturation/pikapika) also staggered down from the sky, she still retained a rather strong charge effect, all over her body with currents large and small, even her voice carried an electric sound: "So thrilling!!"

Hu Li’s hair and tail immediately stood up, seeing Erin’s (Pro max/that long list) electrified appearance, quickly dropping a tail to the ground, eyes wide open: "Can your body overcharge like that?"

"I just found out myself!" Every time Erin spoke, sparks flew, "Just now I thought I was going to explode, but then I reacted and blew up the other guy instead... damn!"

She suddenly slapped her forehead, looking annoyed as if just remembering something: "No survivors! I evaporated him with one blast!"

As she spoke, she quickly lifted her head, glancing at the sky where her blast cannon had swept through, muttering rapidly: "Oh no, oh no... Yu Sheng definitely wanted to catch him alive, and this member of the Venerate Saints Monastery appeared suddenly, and clearly isn’t a regular cultists, if captured alive, who knows how much we could have learned... and I just blew him away..."

Footsteps were heard from nearby, Luna came over, glancing down at the chattering, golden sparkling little puppet on the ground, slowly saying: "Erin, control power, not good."

"I was unfamiliar! Unfamiliar, okay!" Erin (a long list) immediately glared, her electrifying gaze fixed on Luna, "Also, you try if you’re so capable—did you fight?"

She paused, then hesitantly glanced at the sky again: "So, what do you guys think, is it possible, that the cultist from just now might still have some remnants left, and there’s a chance to salvage him... isn’t the Venerate Saints Monastery known for their bioengineering, the higher the member, the harder to kill... you silly fox, what’s with that look in your eyes!"

"I think you’re talking nonsense," Hu Li commented seriously, "Does that make sense to you?"

"If it’s impossible, then it’s impossible..." Erin (a long list) muttered, catching a glimpse of Master Yuan Hao and Zheng Zhi walking over, shutting her mouth reluctantly.

"Where did Yu Sheng go?" Master Yuan Hao was the first to speak, his expression exceptionally serious, with a hint of puzzlement, "I just saw a lightning flash..."

He hesitated, a strange feeling stirring in his heart.

Because reason and experience plus the perception earlier told him, when that lightning flashed, Yu Sheng... was likely struck down, even though that moment was very short, and even the naked eye couldn’t capture the scene of his body breaking apart and disappearing, but the result seemed to be obvious.

Moreover, his Divine Sense even perceived Yu Sheng’s life force dissipating at that instant.

Yet Erin and the others seemed unaffected.

This enormous and bizarre incident made Master Yuan Hao doubt his judgment for the first time in his life. Although he wasn’t sure exactly what was going on, shouldn’t he be more worried about Yu Sheng’s situation at this moment?

He frowned, taking another glance at Zheng Zhi beside him.

It turned out that Zheng Zhi’s expression looked a bit bewildered as well.

At this moment, Erin coughed lightly twice. As the second-in-command at the travel agency with the most experience in handling Yu Sheng’s aftermath, she knew she had to step up and bluff.

"Don’t worry, he’ll be back soon," the little puppet looked up and then glanced at Zheng Zhi again, "Don’t ask too much, you’ll find out later anyway."

She then looked at Master Yuan Hao: "You too, in any case, you’ll know nothing later."

Neither of them could understand.

But Erin clearly had no intention to explain further, quickly changing the subject.

"How’s that fox with the square head earlier?"

As soon as Erin finished speaking, the girl in the red dress, who was carefully inching closer but dared not get too near, clutching a tail with a face full of anxiety, perked up her ears instantly. She quickly glanced at her granduncle and then nervously looked at Master Yuan Hao.

"Its vitality is protected and won’t die for now," Master Yuan Hao, though full of questions, seeing Erin’s obvious reluctance to explain further, temporarily put away his curiosity and nodded, "However, its heart meridian and divine sense are severely damaged. It still needs to be sent to Qianfeng Ling Mountain for treatment."

Erin waved her hand: "Okay, then we’ll wait for Yu Sheng to come back and open a door to send the injured there... let’s go over and take a rest first."

The group quickly returned to the collapsed abandoned factory.

Master Yuan Hao set up a barrier on the factory to shield against wind and rain. Under the barrier, the severely injured Six-tailed Hidden Fox’s breathing had stabilized.

Luna scanned the injured’s vital signs, then stood in an unobtrusive corner, entering standby mode.

Zheng Zhi took out his phone, pondering how to write today’s work report—an incident this big undeniably needed to be reported to the bureau.

Erin (Reinforced Steel) somewhat vainly brushed off her dress and hair, which had become muddy after falling into a pit, but couldn’t get them clean. Finally, she just flung her hands in dejection, waiting for Yu Sheng to return and open a door to send her home for a shower.

The girl in the red dress, Jade-faced Golden Fox, stood a bit nervously beside the Hidden Fox, like a child waiting for an elder to ask questions, her face full of tension—in the wake of the perilous and bizarre battle just now, she was clearly more fearful in interacting with this group of "strange people" who appeared out of nowhere.

Hu Li obviously noticed this. Being canine herself, she felt some kinship with the Jade-faced Golden Fox girl in front of her, so she tried to speak to make her relax: "Don’t be so tense... being nervous all the time can cause fur to fall out."

Yet as soon as the Nine-tailed Silver Fox Immortal spoke, the local fox opposite became visibly more nervous. Her state of clinging tightly to her tail made one worry she might pull it off...

"Silly fox, maybe you should say less. You clearly scared her earlier when you launched your tail," Erin (a whole bunch) chimed in, tapping Hu Li’s tail playfully while sparks crackled around her, electrifying Hu Li and making her fur stand on end before she turned to the girl in the red dress with a chuckle, "By the way, what’s your name? Things were so chaotic earlier I forgot to ask."

"I, I am Linglong," the Jade-faced Golden Fox quickly lowered her head to answer, then added a few more sentences, "My granduncle is called Shang An, and the two of us are originally from the Eight Gates Star, but we’ve spent most of the last hundred years living at the Taixu Spirit Hub..."

Linglong swiftly recounted her basic circumstances, while Master Yuan Hao, upon hearing this, slightly raised an eyebrow: "You mentioned earlier that you were guided here by an Immortal to seek opportunity, but it was not very clear then. Now that things have settled, tell me properly—what kind of Immortal? And what guidance? Do you know what kind of ’opportunity’ you are seeking?"

"Opportunity... is just an opportunity," Linglong scratched her head, seeming a bit confused too. "My granduncle said it might be the Daoist technique secrets left by an ancient great power, but what form it takes can only be known when it’s encountered. As for the Immortal..."

She paused here, recalling while speaking: "Neither I nor my granduncle have seen his appearance clearly, only heard his voice in an illusion saying his name is... ’Yun Qingzi.’"

The abandoned factory fell into instant silence.
