Chapter 249 - Going Upstream… (Part One)

The Mount Li's Myriad Sword Array once again moved into action. In the light of sun, the innumerable sword glows gleamed like liquid gold.

With a bright cry, the white crane departed from Holy Maiden Peak.

In the Imperial Palace, on the Dew Platform, the Divine Empress's figure was nowhere to be seen.

In the Li Palace, a bell suddenly rang out without any warning. Although it did not seem urgent, it nevertheless rang out without end, like it would never come to a stop.

In that grass hut outside Hanqiu City, Zhu Luo suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes only contained vigilance and surprise, without a trace of intoxication.

In the carriage, Mei Lisha also opened his eyes. Within his turbid eyes, an indescribable expression flashed.

Neither of them knew what was happening in the distant north outside of Xuelao City, nor did they know about the shaking of Mount Li or the ringing of the Li Palace's bell at that moment. However, in that previous moment, they had sensed an extremely shocking matter… the Garden of Zhou had just closed.

The forest was thrown into chaos. The elder of the Longevity Sect, the priests of the Orthodoxy, and all the teachers from the various sects and academies hurried towards the impenetrable fog.

The lightning still flashed through the fog like snakes, but the rainbow that had opened a path through the fog this morning had at some point disappeared. The path was once more occupied by the fog.

The rainbow was still there, but its position was constantly changed, so it was impossible for it properly open the path. All it could do was cause the fog to roll about.

Zhu Luo and Mei Lisha stood in front, their expressions solemn as they viewed the scene before them. With the strength of their eyes, they could faintly see that winding path. They confirmed that the path had not completely disappeared, but it had been disturbed by some force so that it was temporarily impossible to use.

”The miniature world naturally possesses its own rules for moving within it. Unless one possesses them, it is impossible to change them.”

Mei Lisha slowly continued, ”Unless Zhou Dufu himself came back to life, no one can cause the Garden of Zhou to close prematurely. Presumably after a few days, the door to the garden will open once again.”

Despite these words, the atmosphere in the forest did not grow any more relaxed.

Just who could affect the opening of the Garden of Zhou? What did that person plan to do?

Zhu Luo and Mei Lisha did not need to think. They knew that it was definitely the work of the Demons.

They could even directly think of the name of the perpetrator… Black Robe.

The more Mei Lisha thought about it, the more concerned he became.

When would the door to the Garden of Zhou open once more?

Within those days, what sort of things will be happening in the Garden?

What would those people find?

What would happen between them?

Was there anyone that could control the situation?

Zhu Luo suddenly spoke. ”She went in.”

After a moment of silence, Mei Lisha responded, ”We'll have to see what he does.”

The people inside the Garden of Zhou had not realized what was happening outside.

With Zhexiu holding the umbrella, Chen Changsheng and Zhexiu walked through the light rain.

Taking leave of the quiet garden with the small bridge, they had arrived near a lush and verdant mountain.

Standing on a cliff and gazing at the forest below him that was wet with rain, then looking off towards that distant plain bathed in the sunlight, Chen Changsheng's mind felt free.

The Garden of Zhou was not a garden. It was a true miniature world.
