490 Pressured (2/2)
With the death of Lord Yin and the weakening of the few other powerful beings, no one was able to manipulate it ever since.
This time, due to the war, Lord Yin had shifted the entire cult to a place somewhere close to the Middle Region. This was right in the centre of the demon disasters.
”Roar! Roar!”
”Keke!”
At the foot of the mountain, black silhouettes of a beast army had gathered.
There were 8-legged spiders and giant-eyed octopuses among them as they recklessly rushed towards the peak of the mountain.
Above the beast army, a group of black silhouettes shrieked. They were covered with a black ghostly fire. With a long fiery tail, they continuously patrolled in the skies as they made their way towards the Heavenly Pond.
”How dare you, beasts?”
In the middle of the Heavenly Pond, gold lotus flowers started to bloom, releasing a colourful glow which started to spread in the skies above the pond. A building within the Heavenly Pond became well-protected under the colourful layer of protection.
The building was built from bamboo and had an elegant vibe. It stood on a piece of huge lotus leaf and was a display of delicate workmanship.
A deity-like lady wearing a white veil and a handsome and gentlemanly male disciple stood on the huge lotus leaf. Their faces were filled with fear.
”What should we do? This place is surrounded by them!”
”Sage is not here and we are unable to manipulate the 9 Turns Transferrences Array. We won't last long if we were to depend on the 9 Lotus Divine Array to protect us!”
One of the disciples screamed and was at lost.
Previously, they were all Illusionary Divine dream masters and were once involved in attacking the Imperial Court. Such an attack from wild beasts used to mean nothing to them.
But now, it was a life and death situation!
”Where is Elder Green Lotus?”
This elder was the last powerful being of the cult and had the cultivation of a 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master. Ever since the fall of dream masters, this elder had always been in isolation.
”Elder is trying his best to restore his cultivation...”
A few of them tried to explain.
”Hmph... I'm sure all of you have heard that sound, right? If the piece of news is true and that even sages are unable to maintain their statuses, do you think an elder can do it?”
A middle-aged lady started to laugh hysterically. ”Haha... we will all die here! Die here, I say!”
She appeared crazed and it was evident that she was too stressed and was pushed off her limits.
Everyone on the lotus leaf remained silent.
Suddenly, a female disciple started to sob and influenced the rest around her to do the same.
Thinking about how they used to be the most powerful people in the realm, none of them could accept reality now!
Needless to say, their servants were revolting against them as well and had already wreaked havoc in the headquarters. If not for the few arrays and magical equipment, none of them would be able to survive until today.
Now, against such a large army of beasts, it was the final straw.
”Sisters!”
Amidst all the sobbing, Liu Mengmei stood out. ”Be strong and never give up. We still have hope!”
”Haha... hope?”
The crazy lady started to scream. ”Even Sage is dead and our friends from the alliance have abandoned us. What is the hope you speak of?”
”Rumble!”
Her words were like an atomic bomb. As soon as she finished her sentence, everyone started to wail in despair.
”Lord Yin... Is she dead?”
”That's impossible!”
The disciples were in disbelief and were on the brink of killing each other.
”Rumble!”
The army of beasts was already attacking the protective array and the wavering array finally caught the attention of the dream masters.
”Who is manipulating the protective array now? Quickly assist her!”
Liu Mengmei seemed serious. ”As long as we are surviving, we will have hope! Even though we might not be dream masters now, we are still the ones with potential in this realm. Are we really afraid of not having a future?”
”It's me! I'll add a few crystals to the array!”
A deacon nodded her head and quickly ran towards the array eye.
At this point of time, Liu Mengmei remained composed and started to delegate work. Finally, there was order and the other remaining disciples nodded their head, impressed at her composure.
Many reserved Divine Ladies had already left the competition to become the Divine Lady. Liu Mengmei was all the while the last few.
However, now that the few reserved Divine Ladies had left for the Jade Capital to fight the war, she had risen to the occasion, taking up the responsibility of being the one making the decisions!
”Rumble!”
At this point in time, a streak of spiritual light shot out from the main hall. It was a weird-looking carriage with wings that flew towards the array.
”Buzz!”
An order plate flew out and the array froze for a moment before revealing an opening.
The flying carriage continued its way, bypassing the array through the opening.
”It's Elder Green Lotus! He is controlling the Heavenly Boat to flee!”
One of the deacons pulled his moustache in anger. ”Damn it, the Elder's order plate is the only thing which can pause the 9 Lotus Divine Array!”
”Jerk!”
Liu Mengmei gritted her teeth. She knew that this elder was not thinking of a plan for the cult all the while in isolation. Instead, he was cultivating as a spiritual knight in seclusion. Now that he was able to control the flying carriage, he took the opportunity to flee.
He not only fled but also paused the 9 Lotus Divine Array, exposing the entire cult to the dangers outside.
”Keke!”
Seeing the opening, many beasts started to flood into the Heavenly Pond, beginning their killing spree!
