317: Chapter 309: The Monster Released!

“I say, why would you suddenly want to go see that monster?”

Halfway up Daqing Mountain, the closer you get to the magnetic field of a certain person, the less Heiyun wants to approach.

Although the magician mainly responsible for Zi Yue back then was himself, the fundamental reason wasn’t that he had a good relationship with Zi Yue or because his attributes matched or anything like that.

The reason it was him was because even if he died, it wouldn’t matter, and the one most likely to die along with Zi Yue…

was his teammate!

Before it didn’t matter, Heiyun didn’t care.

After all, every time he took Zi Yue out, the Emperor of the Siao Family would give a huge reward, but now it’s different.

The ancient technique of his straw man substitute has encountered problems.

That miraculous life-death resurrection space has been locked onto by that terrifying creature in Capital City.

He didn’t dare to die.

It just so happened that at this moment, Shen Qi wanted him to meet the very existence that was most likely to kill him…

“There’s been news that Zi Yue’s magnetic field has been very unstable lately, causing Chen Ying to come and repair the Azure Dragon Formation several times to strengthen it.

I was thinking it was a coincidence in timing, so I came to see if it really was just a coincidence.”

“Just because of this?” Heiyun frowned upon hearing this: “Zi Yue’s technique is very special, and now it’s autumn, when the yin energy of the moon is strongest.

In the past, during this time, Zi Yue would need to reinforce seals in the Imperial Capital to stabilize herself.

It’s a very common occurrence!”

“The time of the moon’s yin energy?” Shen Qi slightly furrowed his brow; Zi Yue’s technique was mysterious, but after all, he was an old magician who had lived for two hundred years, and he had witnessed some of it back then.

Nobody knew the name of Zi Yue’s technique, but it had something to do with the celestial bodies.

Such techniques that used celestial bodies as a medium would more or less come into contact with some terrifying existences from beyond the skies.

Magicians who studied celestial body powers all ended up possessed and insane without exception, and Zi Yue was almost the only exception.

According to Heiyun’s words, when autumn came and the power of the moon’s yin energy increased, affecting Zi Yue, it was not impossible.

But Shen Qi was someone who always sought stability in everything.

Some things, even if there’s only a one in a million chance, had to be verified because the consequences were unbearable!

“It should be right around that position…..” Shen Qi pointed in the direction of a barrier not far ahead.

“I know…..” Heiyun cast a glance at the other, “such an obvious barrier, do you think Elder Yun is blind?”

“It’s not that…..” Shen Qi suddenly became a bit uncertain: “I just feel…..

tsk…..

how come it feels, like it’s closer than before?”

“Closer?” Heiyun was taken aback: “What do you mean?”

“Can’t quite put it into words…..” Shen Qi looked at the huge barrier, a sense of discordance rising in his heart for a moment.

The position of this barrier, hasn’t it always been here?

He had been to Daqing Mountain many times, and for a moment he remembered that it indeed seemed to be in this position, but…

“Do you not feel…..

that this position doesn’t seem quite right?” Shen Qi finally voiced the doubt in his heart.

“Not quite right?” Heiyun said with a chuckle: “You’re saying the lousy position you set up yourself, you now realize it’s not quite right?”

“Lousy position?”

“Isn’t your Jiangnan Academy mainly focused on the study of arrays?” Heiyun laughed and pointed to the barrier: “How come you’ve managed to make such a basic orientation so infuriating?

The Azure Dragon Barrier is established with the Daqing Mountain range as the main body.

Shouldn’t the best core for the array be at that position over there?”

Heiyun pointed in a direction a hundred yards away.

Shen Qi turned around, looking at Heiyun with a puzzled expression: “That place, isn’t it where you brought Zi Yue that year and got sealed?”

Heiyun: “…..”

Yes…..

Heiyun suddenly felt bewildered, that year…

he had brought Zi Yue to Daqing Mountain, and Chen Qing used the Azure Dragon Formation to lock down Zi Yue; he should have a fresh memory of this place, so why…

In an instant, both of them realized…..

It’s not this position!!!

Almost at once, the techniques on both their bodies activated, as they looked around warily!

The barrier…..

moved?

No…

it’s not that the barrier moved.

If it moved, not to mention the commotion it would cause, he himself should have realized immediately that something was wrong with the positioning, something so obvious; how could it be that he still needed to confirm it repeatedly?

Then there was only one possibility left…..

Memory…

had been altered!!!

Thousand-Faced Fox!!

“Retreat!!”

——————————————–

“You’re saying, your mother…

came out?”

Wei Gongzhan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, goosebumps forming on his skin, a sense of dread he had never experienced before surging into his heart.

At that moment, he didn’t even dare to turn around, fearing that behind him was a fox eating a human and watching him.

“It’s been a whole day since she got out,” the little girl nodded and said, “But Mother lied, she said she would play with me for a few days after getting out, but she hasn’t at all.”

“How…

did she get out?” Wei Gongzhan asked, swallowing his saliva.

As the highest-ranking Immortal Farmer of Daqing Mountain now, he had the fortune to meet the Mountain God and Lord Chen Ying a few times and had gradually learned about the situation on the other side of the barrier.

Just like Elder Yun had said, locked inside there was the Thousand-Faced Fox that had once thrown the Capital City into great chaos!

The little girl, looking puzzled, said, “Wasn’t it Chen Ying who let Mother out?”

“Are you joking?” exclaimed Wei Gongzhan, jumping up in fright.

If the child hadn’t looked so innocently cheerful, he might have been tempted to curse.

How could Lord Chen Ying possibly release that demon?

Chen Ying’s reputation and standing, whether among the students of the academy or the land farmers of Daqing Mountain, were held in extremely high esteem.

Even for someone like Wei Gongzhan, who had seen his share of the darker side of humanity, it was unbelievable that Chen Ying would do such a thing!

He had met that authority figure more than once.

Although the young lady was old-fashioned and serious, her love for Jiangnan was stronger than anyone else’s, and she would never do anything that could harm the interest of this place.

“Why are you shouting so loudly…” the little girl suddenly felt aggrieved.

“It was her who let her out.

At noon today, weren’t you off fishing?

I was saying I’d come here and steal two jars of wine, but then I saw Chen Ying running hurriedly to Mother’s place, and then…

she let Mother out…”

“Impossible…

absolutely impossible…

Lord Chen Ying she…” Before he could finish, suddenly a roaring sound came, shaking the entire Daqing Mountain as if it were an earthquake!

Out of fear, Wei Gongzhan immediately lay down, and Little Mink, startled, leapt from the bed and lay on the ground just like Wei Gongzhan.

What’s happening?

The sound…

was coming from halfway up the mountain, was Daqing Mountain under attack?

As soon as Wei Gongzhan thought of this possibility, his heart felt as if it had dropped to half its warmth.

His greatest fear had always been the disruption of the peaceful life here.

But as Lord Chen Qing grew stronger and even the Imperial Court forces led by Weichi Peng had been captured, his worries had begun to relax bit by bit, fostering a hope that maybe this life could continue on forever!

Especially the recent period of tranquility made him increasingly forget his past worries and fears.

And yet…

had it finally happened?

Confused for a few moments, Wei Gongzhan suddenly stood up and ran towards the source of the noise without hesitation!

“Where are you going?” Little Mink asked, hurrying after him.

Wei Gongzhan did not reply, just ran as fast as he could.

He didn’t know what had happened, nor did he know what he could do once he got there, but he knew he had to go.

Whatever was there, he had to face it.

He wouldn’t allow anything to destroy the life here, nothing at all!

—————————

“What happened?”

Heiyun looked around in horror, the scene he had just witnessed was eerie to the extreme.

That gigantic barrier, as if it had come to life, had swallowed them whole, and the moment the barrier ingested them, he and Shen Qi were separated, no matter how he searched, he couldn’t find Shen Qi’s location!

“Shen Qi??”

Heiyun now regretted it deeply.

Had he known the risks, he wouldn’t have come even if he were beaten to death.

A few bottles of wine and a few meals were not worth risking his life for!

But complaining was of no use now.

The black mist swirled around his body as Heiyun could only watch his surroundings on high alert.

He didn’t understand.

Why would the barrier change its location?

And how could it swallow them like a monster?

This was simply impossible, the only explanation…

was that the barrier was a fake!

“If there’s a master around, please show yourself!” After activating his technique, Heiyun still did not feel any safer, so he could only muster his courage and bellow into the surroundings.

His not-so-confident roar soon elicited a response, and the figure Heiyun least wanted to encounter finally emerged from the shadows of the barrier.

“It’s been a long time, Mister Heiyun…”

The voice, the figure, instantly turned Heiyun’s face as black as can be!

Even without his Straw Man decoy, relying on the resources he had collected over the years, he was confident he could hold his own against most formidable people in the world.

But…

that definitely did not include the one before him!

“Mister Zi Yue…” Heiyun managed a strained smile.

“No harm done I hope…”
