Chapter 142: Last Till Master Celestial Turn The Tide

Atlas Studios

At Fog City, Hidden Fog Country’s royal palace…

The huge array formation covering the whole palace was trembling non-stop.

Over ten 300-meter-long Divine Binding Vines were crazily whipping the array formation.

Numerous cultivators were standing within the array formation, and despair was written all over their faces as they raised their heads to look at the Divine Binding Vines.

Back when they had been heading the Fog Plain in search of treasures, in all those cultivators’ minds, the Divine Binding Vines had been heaven-sent fortuitous opportunities. Every Divine Binding Vine counted as a supreme-grade treasure of the same stage, and it could be sold at an exorbitant price after being refined into a Divine Binding Rope.

Most importantly, if one encountered Divine Binding Vines in the wild, it would not matter whether one was no match for it as they just had to leave the Divine Binding Vine’s attacking range.

However, today, as the Divine Binding Vine seeds smashed into Fog City, everything overturned everyone’s imagination.

Nascent Soul Divine Binding Vines—something one might see once in hundreds of years—appeared this time and over 10 of them at that.

In addition, each Nascent Soul Divine Binding Vine’s battle prowess outmatched a normal Nascent Soul cultivator’s by far. The Nascent Soul cultivators in the Hidden Fog Country’s royal palace also felt that they were no match for them.

If it weren’t for the Divine Firmament Saintess’ help at the crucial moment, the whole palace would most probably be in danger by now.

The Hidden Fog Country’s king also stood among the crowd, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.

Sain… Saintess. The Fog Plain has been stable and normal these thousands of years, but why did such a fearsome change occur during this Fog Tide Period?”

Zhang Yunxi shook her head calmly. “I also don’t know, but what I can confirm is that someone is definitely manipulating these Divine Binding Vines behind the scenes.”

As she spoke, she looked toward the thick spirit fog solemnly.

I wonder if Junior Brother has escaped safely.

The king of the Hidden Fog Country wanted to continue asking, but Zhang Yunxi directly interrupted him.

“The Hidden Fog Country’s array formation is unable to last for very long.” She took out many array disks from her interspatial ring. “I need the cooperation of all Supremacies and Perfected Ones. Only by concentrating everyone’s power to set a Divine Firmament’s Lightning Protective Array can we have a ray of hope of survival.”

Zhang Yunxi quickly placed the array disks within each corner of the palace and instructed the many Supremacies and Perfected Ones to join hands and set up the array.

At the same time, she wished for Shen Tian’s well-being in her heart.

Junior Brother, you must last, I’ll come to find you quickly!

…

On the other side, Qin Yundi, Qin Gao, and the others had also found shelter in the palace. That was because they had a large number of Lightning Explosion Talismans and Demon-Penetrating Guns to clear the way. As such, they were not seriously injured.

At the same time, they stood together with many cultivators, who had escaped by the skin of one’s teeth, absorbing Spirit Stones and resting. Among those cultivators, many were crying. They were jubilant over being able to escape death.

Although it was said that cultivators were indifferent, that was only toward mortals, just like a lion would ignore the emotions of rabbits.

Nonetheless, when they themselves experienced the life-or-death test, few cultivators could stay indifferent—they were mostly no different from ordinary people.

Now that they escaped with their lives, many of them recalled the rumors going around in the city these two days.

In the rumors, that so-called Master Celestial, who could see the future, had already predicted this. He had said that Fog City would undergo a drastic change shortly and had advised every fated person to leave this place.

Unfortunately, everyone had been blinded by the greed of the so-called “opportunities” and basically had not left very far. Even if a part half-believed, half-doubted Master Celestial, they had only left Fog Town and retreated to Fog City.

Plenty of people had even been spreading rumors about Master Celestial, saying he had been planning to take a fortuitous opportunity all to himself.

However, facts proved that a fearsome calamity had indeed befallen the Fog Plain.

Fog Town’s cultivators had long been wiped out, while the ones in Fog City were completely surrounded.

In but an instant, countless people felt regretful—they regretted not listening and leaving back then!

A few cultivators among the crowd looked at the remaining Lightning Explosion Talismans in their hands and started tearing up. They were all fated people that had put their trust in Shen Tian and had used half of their fortuitous opportunities in exchange for Lightning Explosion Talismans.

As a result, they had used the Lightning Explosion Talismans to explode their way to escape while facing those Divine Binding Vines during the earlier chaotic period. Although they had not killed those Divine Binding Vines, the large amount of Lightning Explosion Talismans still slowed down the Divine Binding Vines’ chase.

Sometimes, such a short delay was the critical factor that decided one’s life or death. In the end, these fated people successfully escaped into the Hidden Fog Country’s royal palace and temporarily survived safely. To them, Master Celestial was already their benefactor!

At the same time, the mysterious Master Celestial had also become their last glimmer of hope.

“I thank Master Celestial for giving me the talismans. If not for Master Celestial’s warning and his talismans, I would have already died by now.”

“Master Celestial had looked into the future and warned us to save our lives, but we did not believe him.”

“We really deserve to die! Master Celestial did not hesitate to endure the Heavenly Dao’s backlash for us to have a chance of survival. His actions could move even the heavens!”

“Master Celestial, we know that we’re wrong! Please, help us kill these demons! I still have an 80-year-old mother back at home!”

“Brother Song, Brother Liu, Brother Zhen, Brother Xiong, aren’t you the seniors of our Favored Ones group? Do you know where Master Celestial is?”

Shopkeeper Song and others felt anxious upon hearing everyone’s questions.

Could they tell these fellows that they had already gotten separated from Master Celestial?

Fortunately, Zhang Yunxi, in her White Tiger Clear Light Armor Suit and with her White Tiger Sword in hand, walked toward them coldly.

She emitted a powerful aura and said calmly, “Master Celestial has already headed into the depths of the Fog Plain alone.

“I believe you’ve already realized that there’s definitely a mastermind manipulating everything from behind the scenes. Thus, Master Celestial has already headed there to fight with the mastermind.

“Now that it has come to this, we need to believe in Master Celestial and guard this palace, the last safe place, properly. Whoever doesn’t want to die, pluck up your courage and try your best to help me to set up the array formation!”

One had to admit that Zhang Yunxi was indeed an independent female warrior. Not only was she powerful, but she was also proficient in commanding subordinates.

When facing fearsome dangers, the most important thing was to ensure morale stability. Only with morale stability could everyone’s strength be gathered to form a miracle. Otherwise, once emotions, such as despair and fear, exploded within people, it would only result in death.

Although Zhang Yunxi did not know where Shen Tian was, she had to use Shen Tian as the mainstay to pull everyone together.

True enough, her words indeed helped many cultivators, who were shivering from fear, to calm down. They stopped recalling the tragic sight of the cultivators whose essence energy had been sucked dry and overcame the fear of death.

That’s right! Master Celestial, who had no need to take the risk, was also battling now. So, how could they directly give up on resisting!?

They had to last—their defense line could definitely not be breached!

They only had to wait until Master Celestial annihilated the demon behind everything, then they could survive!

Once the desire for survival took root within their hearts, all the cultivators recollected themselves and surpassed their limits, unleashing more power.

That was the potential of humans!

…

Unbeknownst to them, Master Celestial, their pillar, was indeed in the Fog Plain’s depths. However, it was not for saving everyone or something like killing some shockingly powerful demon.

Nine Divine Binding Vines had him wrapped like a rice dumpling instead… And, they awaited to offer him to the Mother Vine as a male concubine.

He was currently like a cat on a hot tin roof!
