Chapter 336 (1/2)
Chain Reaction (3)
“I’ll need to purify this again…” Ye Lang stood before the clock tower ruins, very quickly found the appropriate spot, then used a purifying formation to ‘purify’ away the rubble. A circle appeared once again, and within the circle was a similar alchemy formation.
It was the same as before, there were two connecting lines extending from the formation…
“Looks like a third place is going to collapse soon…” Ye Lang frowned as he looked at the formation.
“What?! There’s more?!” exclaimed Feng Xing. He was already upset that there were two buildings that were destroyed, he might not be able to stand the fact that more buildings were going to collapse.
“Yeah, and there’ll probably be many…” nodded Ye Lang, giving him the depressing news.
And as they started to privately comfort themselves, another place collapsed.
“What’s going on? Another one?” At the peak of the Holy Mountain stood the Cloud Palace. Someone was looking down from it, and they’d already been paying attention since the first palace collapse.
However, when they saw it, they thought it might’ve been an accident so they didn’t pay much attention.
It was different now. Two places were ruined, and now the third building was starting to fall in…
“This is odd, send a message to the guards to look into the matter,” instructed one of the higher authorities at the palace.
“Look, there’s another one there. And it’s getting faster…”
The people at the Cloud Palace could easily survey the entire situation. They watched the buildings fall one by one, and they also saw Ye Lang’s group of people dashing across the city on their horses to every collapsed building.
Then, they saw Ye Lang purifying each place with his purification formation to reveal alchemy formations underneath!
As the number of collapsed buildings increased, the number of connecting lines extending from these formations increased. There was a pattern here, but still, no one understood what was going on.
“Who are these people?” Some officials didn’t receive news about them, so they raised questions about Ye Lang and the bunch.
They didn’t suspect that this group of people was the cause of all of this because if they were the culprits they wouldn’t be able to dash through the city without anyone stopping them.
At the same time, they felt like the group must be on their side. Likely to be the city’s military too. But what were they doing?
“Are you talking about them? That’s the gentleman from all the rumours, and that's Feng Xing and the rest of the Light Riders. They seem to be investigating too!” someone started to answer his questions.
“Why would he be the one investigating? Where are our men?” the rest of the people immediately gave suggestions. It wasn’t because they didn’t think Ye Lang was fit for the job, it was because they thought they shouldn’t trouble Ye Lang with matters like that.
“Our men gave up immediately after they saw how this gentleman was conducting his investigations!” someone smiled.
