Chapter 482: 482 Sister Lan and Brother Yan join forces! [2 Chapters]

"Boom!"

"Splash..."

Inside East Desolate City, the rain kept pouring down harder and harder, with the accumulated water already over three meters deep.

Due to East Desolate City’s infrequent rain, its drainage system wasn’t as developed as that of the Southern Frontier.

But even for cities with developed drainage systems, they absolutely couldn’t withstand such torrential rains.

Also, due to magnetic interference, all signals were disconnected, rendering all communication devices useless; they could only rely on the most primitive method—

The launching of signal flares to indicate that more rescue was needed here.

As the rainwater continued to gather, the various squads of Bureau 723 felt overwhelmed.

"Calling for rescue! Calling for rescue! Several residents are trapped on the third floor of the East City Mall!

At this moment, water had completely submerged the first floor and was flooding into the second, and this mall originally had only four floors.

Given the current volume and speed of rainfall, in less than fifteen minutes, the third floor would flood, and the people inside the mall wouldn’t last long.

However, with the current tricky situation, the floodwater was actually the easiest problem to deal with—boats were all that were needed.

But the resistance brought by the wind and rain was too strong; the boats simply couldn’t navigate on the water’s surface.

What to do now?!

The squad leader was extremely anxious and could only lead everyone to the fourth floor as water spread to the third.

But before long, the water had flooded the third floor, and the fourth floor’s floorboards were all wet.

From various places came uneven cries, accompanied by the crying of babies.

The building swayed in the fierce wind, and just as the squad leader was launching a second flare outside the window, "whoosh," he was swept into the water by the wind!

It’s over!

Despair filled the squad leader’s heart.

Of course, he was an excellent swimmer, but the current East Desolate City was as dangerous as the open sea, where even the best swimmers had no ability to survive.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind and grabbed his arm, pulling him back to shore.

In the dim light between heaven and earth, a glow surged forward, and at that moment, a boat capable of accommodating hundreds arrived at the mall!

The squad leader was still in a daze, turning around blankly.

The person who grabbed him was actually an extremely young girl.

The downpour drenched her from head to toe, with rainwater streaming down from her brow and the corners of her eyes like a fine trickle, but it didn’t bend her body in the slightest.

She walked slowly against the wind and rain, creating a peaceful domain around her.

"You, you..."

The squad leader was taken aback, his eyes widening in surprise at the young girl in front of him, his thoughts coming to a standstill.

"Get on the boat!" Ye Wanlan still grasping his shoulder, spoke in a low and rapid tone, "We don’t have much time, get everyone out of here!"

It was this sentence that snapped the squad leader back to reality, and he immediately, along with the other team members, helped all the mall residents aboard the boat.

Only after everyone was safely on the boat did the squad leader collapse onto the ground, taking a long, deep breath.

The next second, he suddenly realized something was amiss.

How could this boat sail so steadily amidst the storm?

Ye Wanlan looked up, her gaze heavy as she stared at the sky.

Aside from mastering top-tier martial arts to the extreme, the only thing that could counter Art and Method was Art and Method itself.

She drove the boat using Penglai Magic, which allowed them to carry out the rescue operation.

However, there were still many people trapped in the city, uncertain how long Yan Tingfeng and Xing Yue could hold on.

"Miss Ye, what on earth is happening here?" the director beside her asked in panic, "Could it be, could it be like last time at the Imperial Palace Ruins..."

"Right." Ye Wanlan’s eyes were cool, and her voice was cold, "But this accident is much bigger than last time, and that one was just a small fry."

The wider the range that Art and Method could affect, the more powerful the person behind it.

If there was only one person behind this, then even placed in the Shenzhou Rivers and Lakes of three hundred years ago, this person would certainly be well-known.

The director couldn’t help but inhale sharply, "Last time, he was just a small fry?!"

But if it weren’t for Ye Wanlan last time, they could have been easily crushed to death by the opponent.

"We, we’re not going to be stuck here, are we?" Xu Qingyu couldn’t help shivering, her body trembling from the excessive cold.

"No," Ye Wanlan extended a hand to steady her shoulder, "I’m here."

She would never walk ahead of the common people.

Until everyone had safely left East Desolate City, she would absolutely not leave.

At this moment, under the sky, two figures hid within the ink-colored clouds.

"The celestial phenomena are set, unless the formation is destroyed or the person casting the method is killed, the rain won’t stop." Yan Tingfeng tilted his head slightly, "Can you handle it by yourself here?"

Xing Yue bit her teeth, "I can, go! You must kill that damn bastard!"

East Desolate City was the largest city in Eastern Wilderness, with a population nearing ten million.

Had they not been filming a show in this city by coincidence, one couldn’t imagine how many innocent lives this man-made disaster would bury afterward.

This person... no, no matter how many of them there were, they must die.

Currently, the perpetrator of this formation’s affiliation was unknown, but—

They wouldn’t allow anyone to harm the People of Shenzhou on Shenzhou’s territory!

**

The torrential rain and dark clouds, which were originally spreading towards the Northwest at an eerie speed, were now fixed above East Desolate City.

"It seems," one said, shaking their head, "they’re not wrong about Shenzhou’s national fate being overwhelming. Who would have thought that on the random day we chose, we’d run into the Young Temple Master from Penglai Observatory? If it weren’t for her, East Desolate City would probably be gone by now, right?"

Who could have expected, the Young Temple Master of Penglai Observatory would participate in a worldly show’s filming?

"Hmph, what overwhelming national fate?" another sneered, "Even if the Master of Penglai Observatory himself were here, it would only delay the inevitable. Neither master nor disciple is considered orthodox inheritance from Mount Penglai."

"In the past, our ancestor was driven out of Shenzhou Rivers and Lakes by those self-proclaimed righteous people, becoming a disowned dog." Another spoke, "I guess those righteous folks never imagined that the Taoist Arts inheritance of Shenzhou would end up in our hands."

The group exchanged glances and burst into laughter.

"Enough of the play," the first speaker said indifferently, "Let’s go, deal with Xing Yue, and also those overconfident mortals in East Desolate City. Let the rain fall heavier!"

Several figures dispersed, that person using the power of Art and Method to take to the sky, flying upwards.

Though the Master of Penglai Observatory also couldn’t stop them, if they gave Xing Yue more time, they really might bring that old man here.

Moreover, with the commotion they’d caused in Eastern Wilderness, the Supernatural Affairs Office in Global Center must have taken notice as well.

They must fight swiftly!

With this thought, that person’s flying speed increased.

Although they had altered the weather, once the formation was activated, friend and foe alike were indiscriminate; even he had to defend against the oncoming rain.

Suddenly, the bolts of lightning that were expected to hit the ground exploded above his head.

"Boom!"

The person hastily dodged, avoiding being struck by the following flash of lightning.

The trajectory of the thunder and lightning was altered, an entirely impossible occurrence unless...

"Beiming Arts?!" The person exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible!"

As far as he knew, since Penglai Magic and Beiming Sect both vanished completely three hundred years ago, only the Penglai Observatory beneath Mount Penglai retained some Penglai Magic.

But—

There was absolutely no remnant of Beiming Arts!

He also practiced Taoist Arts, though tainted by evil energies, but they derive from the same origin; he could feel how vast the power of the newly arrived was.

How could it be Beiming Arts?

It must be some other deviant path.

The person steadied their spirit and sneered, "Since you have arrived, why not show yourself?"

Amidst the thick darkness, a figure slowly descended.

At this moment, the only light in this realm was the silver-white long hair fluttering in the sky.

Yan Tingfeng extended a hand, smiling as he uttered four words, "Found you."
