Chapter 446 - The Realm Gate Is Locked (2/2)

Lonemoon casually glanced across and realized that most were low level cultivators, amongst them most were earth immortals. Instead, there were very little mystic immortals and Stygian immortals, it was impossible to find even one within several streets, not to mention any Exalted immortals.

Yi Qing had sensed the position of the Mystic Spirit Array the moment they entered the town, holding Shen Ying’s hand tightly, they headed in that direction together with Father Niu, The odd thing was that this Mystic Spirit Array wasn’t hidden away, but carelessly set up on a piece of empty land in the east city and there weren’t anyone keeping watch either The immortals in the town seemed to know what that was and were completely unbothered.

Lonemoon was stunned for a moment, Yu Cang was snatching people so brazenly, wasn’t he afraid that the other countries would have objections? But after thinking it through in detail, he understood. If this array could only change the locations of the people ascending from the lower realm, other countries might really not be bothered. After all those who had just ascended only had the cultivation of earth immortals, no matter how much potential they had, it would only matter a few thousand years after.

Then what exactly was Yu Cang trying to do, taking great pains to set up such an array formation? Could it really simply be making it convenient for people’s search for their families?

“Chef, how is it?” Lonemoon looked towards Chef who was studying the array formation in detail,

Yi Qing then retracted his powers that he was using to survey the array formation, frowning, he said, “There’s no problem with the array formation, nothing abnormal with the realm gates either, and there are also remnants of Spirit Qi here. If I am right, this array formation has been activated within the last three months.”

“What?” Lonemoon was shocked. “Wasn’t it said that there hasn’t been anyone ascending into East Tsui for five years already?”

“I’m not very sure either.” Yi Qing shook his head. “But someone has indeed ascended through this array recently.”

Lonemoon fell silent for a moment, thinking for a moment before said, “We’ll go take a look in the other immortal towns.

Hence, they went to more than ten immortal towns in a row, and found that the array formation in every immortal town was the same, no signs of any damage and amongst them, there were remnants of Spirit Qi near two of the array formations, indicating that someone had ascended.

Why would Yu Cang spread such a lie that would be exposed with one look? And even if he intentionally hid the fact that there people had ascended, or even if Yu Hong did not manage to find this piece of information, could it merely be to make them believe that there are problems with the realm gates?

“Can we eat now?” Shen Ying who had been dragged along everywhere couldn’t help but ask. “It’ll be dinnertime in another four hours, Father Niu, why don’t we head to the city where the city lord lost his grandson for our meal?” There must be lots of good food there.

“Eat your…” Lonemoon habitually wanted to retort her, but faltered. Hold on, lost his grandson? He met eyes with Yi Qing who was beside him and exclaimed in unison.

“Chang Qing City!”

Previously Yu Cang had indeed specially mentioned that, the nephew of the city lord of East Tsui’s first immortal town, City Lord Chang Qing had failed his immortal ascension and even wanted to invite Chef specially to check it out, could it be that it was only Chang Qing City’s array formation that was problematic?

The two exchanged a look and immediately set off for Chang Qing City. Where it differed from the other immortal towns was that, Chang Qing City’s Mystic Spirit Array wasn’t as obvious as those in the other immortal towns, instead, it was set up in the City Lord’s Abode.

They turned themselves invisible and infiltrated the abode, spending some efforts before they found the array formation.

Just as they were about to go nearer for a closer look, Yi Qing suddenly stopped in his steps and looked at the array formation before them with slight surprise.

“What’s wrong?” Lonemoon also stopped walking.

“This array….” His expression darkened. “Actually has death Qi surrounding it.”

With a wave of his hand, a few swirls of spirit Qi gathered towards it, and sure enough, bits of black Qi appeared, floating above the array, but they disappeared in seconds.

“Holy shit!” Lonemoon was also shocked, death Qi surrounding the array, doesn’t that make it a killing array?

Yi Qing stepped forward and placed a hand on the array, sending a trace of power over but it was rebounded back within moments, even carrying a very domineering aura, but dissipated the moment it touched his palm.

“The realm gate here has indeed been closed.” He stood up then, frowning before he corrected himself. “No, I should say… it’s been locked.”

Lonemoon, “…”

What?
