252 Chapter 252 (1/2)

He might lose a lot of time if he started helping everyone along the way. The problem was that it could cost people's lives. Even now if he didn't intervene here five lives would have been extinguished. If he let something like this happen when being in close range of helping here, he would hate himself later on.

This was something that he had started and now he needed to see it through to the end. In his head, he now was responsible for these five people. He would need to see it through to the end, he would also be able to gain some more information after checking out their village.

”Is it here?”

”Y-yes great senior, just a bit further.”

The family head said while looking down. The five of the people that Zhang Dong saved were surrounded by a bubble of golden energy. They were flying through the air at astonishing speeds. They were quite baffled by this display of might as they had never seen a cultivator of his caliber before.

Zhang Dong had asked about their circumstances. The five had escaped from the village together after some frenzied beasts attacked it. The people in it took out quite a bit but they were overrun by the constant beast tide.

They believed that there still were people there as their village grew out of those special sunflowers. The fog wasn't able to penetrate past those fields and some people supposedly fled towards them.

”You were speaking the truth, I can sense some people in that direction…”

He arrived at the spot where the village was and could see widespread destruction. The buildings were mostly made from wood which didn't pose much of a problem for the enraged beasts. With the cultivation boosts, they were getting from the frenzied state it was even easier.

He could feel a large gathering of people in one particular building. The house wasn't big but there were at least 30 people in it. Outside of it, there was a field with those sunflowers. These spiritual plants were giving off a faint divine aura, even this was apparently enough to force the mist away.

'The mist isn't penetrating further… no wait… it is moving slightly…'

With the help of his enhanced senses, he could tell that fog was inching further in. It was in millimeters but it was advancing. Probably in a couple of days, it would seep all the way into the field. He could also tell that the plants were slowly dying, they were not enough to combat this demonic miasma.

He pointed his finger down from the air while concentrating. The people from the side looked with interest as an electrical discharge was visible at his digit's tip.

The lightning didn't just stop there, no it traveled on to the next creature closest to it. In a matter of moments the lightning starter arcing from monster to monster taking out each one in the vicinity of the village.

”Incredible…”

”Such might…”

The family of Qi Condensation cultivators couldn't believe what they were seeing. The mass of monsters that had caused them so much trouble was dead in a couple of seconds. This master had taken them out with just one attack. It seemed as easy as breathing to him, truly unfathomable might.

”That's all of them.”

He nodded while the people behind him had their jaws down. While they were coming to terms with his show of strength, he decided to land on that field of sunflowers. The people in the farmhouse peeked out and could tell that a master had come. One of them moved outside while the rest remained inside.

”Honorable Senior have you arrived to aid us?”

He clasped his hands while looking past Zhang Dong and clearly saw the family of five that he knew.

”Something like that, I don't have much time. I will get to the bottom of this but for now, you will have to stay here and wait.”

Zhang Dong spoke out while the old man moved his head down, he looked a bit saddened after hearing what he had to say. He probably hoped that this mysterious elder would somehow aid them in this time of need.

”Don't worry, you will be safe here...just wait a moment…”

He flew up into the sky and pointed both of his hands down while having his index fingers extended. His hands started moving at an astonishing speed, the people below could only see them blurring around. No one was sure what he was doing but not like they were brave enough to speak up.

He was drawing lines into the earth below, strange symbols were being placed around the farm. He was drawing a formation while using the divine sunflower plants as a power source. After a moment it was all finished the formation sprung into action and pushed the mist away even further.

The village that was covered by the thick miasma was being slowly washed clean from it. Zhang Dong flew down, he took out a pill from his spatial ring and threw it at the sunflower field. He made a crushing motion with his fist which made the pill explode into many small particles. These seeped into the ground and nourished it, in a matter of seconds the plants grew twice in size while radiating, even more, divine power.

”T-this is…”

”I have placed a defensive formation around your village, it will use this field as the core. The demonic miasma won't seep into it for the time being and the weaker demons will stay away.”

The village people would be safe against the mist and probably most of the monsters lurking outside. With the nourishing pill that he inserted into the soil, the sunflowers should last for a couple of weeks. He thought that he would have things resolved by that time.

”Well, then I must be on my way.”
