Chapter 307: Chapter 54 The Night is Dark and the Wind is High Chapter 307: Chapter 54 The Night is Dark and the Wind is High One night.
Ghostly shadows began to appear near Liu Zhuang.
These phantom-like silhouettes were swirling around, getting more intense as ti went by…
Gradually, even within Liu Zhuang, shadows flickered intermittently, and the uneasiness increased dramatically. It was spooky.
After a while, strange phenona started to occur in so areas.
Either a patch of ground would suddenly flip over, or a dark shadow would rush past, or a freshly lit candle would extinguish itself with no wind, plunging a room into instant darkness. Such strange incidents were nurous.
Not to ntion the people of Liu Zhuang, even Mo Yuantu and the others from Supre Mountain fell into doubt and fear. They huddled together in groups, and no one dared to be alone in Liu Zhuang, everyone was terrified without exception.
“What on earth is going on?”
“It must be our enemies coming. All these actions are intended to make us panic and ss up before the fight even begins.”
Mo Yuantu’s expression was heavier than ever, but he was still trying to comfort everyone.
Even though he tried to appease them, others were still worried.
“In this world, who would dare to confront us, Supre Mountain, head-on?”
“Haha… Just because we belong to Supre Mountain, are we all going to live forever? Over the years, haven’t many of our brethren fallen on the battlefield?”
“Wasn’t the recent incident in Yuezhou a wake-up call?”
“Everyone be careful, avoid being alone, always cover each other!”
“Isn’t it possible that all these changes are due to Liu ngjiang? Maybe he is lying low, waiting for us to be humiliated by the Great Qin officials, then taking advantage of our low morale… and coming for us?” Soone suddenly voiced their suspicion.
Mo Yuantu and his brothers looked at him as if he was a fool, causing the accuser to hang his head in sha.
“Nonsense, this is absurd! Liu ngjiang is a re Gold Rank assassin. Even if he was truly planning sothing, does he have the power to cause such a disturbance? Do you know how many Earth Level practitioners and Heavenly Level masters are currently in this room? Don’t you think before you speak?”
“Your intelligence is truly heart-touching, you must have a bad stomach, spilling your brain out along with your diarrhea, right?”
Everyone nodded in agreent, especially Liu ngjiang, who nodded his head furiously.
The people of Supre Mountain were powerful, their suspicions were about an external enemy attack, that is strong and at least at Heavenly Level.
But, Liu ngjiang couldn’t think that far, he was genuinely scared that the person may be Liu ngjiang, as suggested earlier.
If that’s the case, it would be disastrous.
No matter whether the people from Supre Mountain considered Liu ngjiang or not, whether they would capture him alive during an attack and punish him severely, what did it have to do with Liu ngjiang?
If Liu ngjiang made a move, his chances of surviving would be slim. For a dead person, the so-called follow-up is just a joke!
Especially after witnessing the brutal execution of fifty people from Liu Zhuang. The tragic scene was etched in Liu ngjiang’s mind. Even the slightest chance of danger would keep him up at night!
However, as half the night passed, no substantial changes had occurred. Yet, the tension increased, and everyone’s sense of crisis rose to an extre.
Why were there no traces?
The source of these strange occurrences was sothing they could never imagine in their wildest dreams, because all of this was caused by hundreds of ancient trees in the vicinity of Liu Zhuang.
Such a thing was not just unimaginable, even if it was explained to you, you wouldn’t believe it, because nothing like this had ever happened on the continent.
…
Moon at its zenith, a gust of wind suddenly began to howl.
For a mont, the entire Yuezhou was engulfed in a terrifying atmosphere.
Especially near Liu Zhuang, ancient trees took advantage of the strong wind, making sharp howling noises and swaying violently as if possessed by madness.
Suddenly, it seed as if the world was turning upside down, the ghost gates had opened, and ghosts were rampaging through the dark night!
Whosh, whoosh… Boom, crash…
Giant branches kept striking the buildings of Liu Zhuang in the wind…
The howling wind grew stronger, darkening the sky and causing roof tiles to fly. All the lights were extinguished, leaving Liu Zhuang in complete darkness, like a ghost realm.
Many people who were unprepared for this change began to scream in horror.
These screams set off a chain reaction, with screams coming from all directions, rising and falling, in endless succession…
As expected, Liu Zhuang was thrown into unprecedented chaos, even the profound practitioners like Mo Yuantu turned pale.
Anyone would lose confidence when the situation was out of control and faced an unknown threat!
Everyone was filled with doubt, wondering what on earth was happening.
Could it really be the work of ghosts?
In Yuezhou City, a wisp of smoke rose, drifting up to the sky, then disappeared.
The smoke wasn’t ordinary; it was the notorious Sky Stealer, Ding the Landlord.
At this mont, Ding the Landlord felt wronged. He desperately needed to release so stress.
Exposing himself to the world was part of his plan to set up a strategy, but Dong Xiaoyan from the Heavenly Palace openly demanded his Phoenix Wood in front of everyone. He was eager to the point of threatening.
The threat was clear.
This behavior, apart from sheer determination, made it clear that the Phoenix Wood was within him. The sought-after treasure on his person had just beco even more coveted!
Unfortunately, Sky Stealer was well aware that he actually possessed the item. If he didn’t hand it over to Dong Xiaoyan this ti, next ti the palace in heaven would add another pursuer after him!
However, as lofty as Sky Stealer considered himself, he, even with three heads and six arms, could not afford to provoke such a high-end entity.
Seeing as there was no way to fight back, he had no alternative but complicit agreent. Thus, he made his way to Dong Xiaoyan, threw the Phoenix Wood at him, and then disappeared. He had no further interactions or dealings with him. The so-called promise, the so-called payback, Sky Stealer didn’t dare to expect anything. He had seen too much of the true nature of the large sects; he considered it a financial loss to ward off a disaster.
Finally, Dong Xiaoyan left.
Sky Stealer let out a deep breath at this outco.
However, he then began to feel aggrieved.
I, Sky Stealer, was blackmailed?!
And I submitted to it!
I lost money to avoid a calamity?!
I’m so frustrated!
How could the great Sky Stealer be scared? How did I beco so wimpy?
So what if the opponent is from the heavenly palace?
So what if I can’t offend the heavenly palace?
Thus…
Sky Stealer’s fury grew the more he thought about it. However, as he wanted to vent his anger but dared not do so directly towards the heavenly palace, he had to choose another target!
So, who should he choose?
The answer is quite obvious — there is no alternative!
It must be Supre Mountain!
His lifelong enemy from Supre Mountain was now in Yuezhou. Who else could he vent his anger on other than these ready-made scapegoats?
Although Sky Stealer felt his actions might be seen as bullying the weak and fearing the strong, he thought again: Is Supre Mountain weak? Isn’t it considered a formidable entity? They are not to be trifled with by anyone.
It’s a heroic feat to bother them!
I am venting on Supre Mountain!
Doesn’t it sound impressive to say it out loud?!
Humans can have high self-esteem, but it shouldn’t be limitless, especially when they are my enemies.
Let’s decide on them!
Thus, Sky Stealer managed to convince himself and felt increasingly righteous — I’m declaring war on a mighty and evil force! All I’m seeking is to get my point across!
I’m now the protagonist with assistance from the miraculous Little Pine Tree!
The moon is hidden and the wind is high tonight, the weather is just perfect.
Sky Stealer took to the wind, directly ascending to the celestial heights, and headed towards Liu Zhuang.
Almost at the sa ti, Feng Yin sensed that the tense atmosphere he had fostered should be ripe by now.
No doubt, the weather tonight is indeed perfect. A rare gust of wind was blowing, providing great cover for the ancient trees’ movents.
No longer hesitant with the prelude set, Feng Yin silently erged in a black robe. Wielding a long sword and his face masked, he disappeared in mid-air, akin to a God of Death.
For safety, Feng Ying’s white fur was dyed black for this operation, and he was currently dissatisfied, licking the bottom of his paw.
There’s dye on his body, so he can’t lick it… Only the bottom of his paw was still clean!
Zhu Weiran and his wife standing by as protectors followed close behind Feng Yin, disappearing into the howling wind.
The roaring wind beca even fiercer, and pieces of branches flew in the air at high speeds.
Feng Yin first went to liaison with the tree hole, left a letter and a packet of dicine, and then rushed towards Liu Zhuang.
The mobility of Feng Yin at this mont is astonishingly fast. He employs the Stealing the Sky and Changing the Day technique from Sky Stealer. His body is as swift as the wind, as fast as lightning, leaving no trace.
This is the first ti Feng Yin has acted since his consecutive breakthroughs in cultivation.
The return of his gentle deanor will undoubtedly continue to astonish the world!
In an instant, Feng Yin and the others had arrived above Liu Zhuang.
Upon reaching Liu Zhuang, one look made Feng Yin jump in shock.
The current Liu Zhuang was not as he had imagined. Chaos reigned, people were shouting and horses were neighing everywhere. Fires were burning in a few places, with towering smoke and flas swaying in the wind. The fire blazed east one mont, licked the west in another, and then spit out tongues of fire in the south.
There were people standing on the ridges and eaves of the houses.
Soone was shouting: “Who?! Show yourself!”
Hearing this, Feng Yin was even more puzzled: What on earth happened? Although I laid the groundwork for the chaos, the current situation has nothing to do with ! Like the fire, although I had thought about it, I haven’t had ti to do it yet!
Who’s trying to steal my thunder?
