Chapter 504 - Chapter 504: Chapter 200: Sudden Change, Black Fog (2/2)
“`
In just a short while, the Flying Sword lost control, and only half of it clanged onto the ground before being devoured by the surging black fog.
Seeing this, everyone’s expression turned grim.
At that moment, the Demon Lord spoke to Xue Yilin, asking:
“How long will this black fog last?”
Xue Yilin promptly replied:
“Replying to the Demon Lord, the black fog will persist for three days before it gradually dissipates.”
“We’ll wait here within the Formation Eye for three days, and then the square will be safe. At that time, we can head to the Water Hall of Five Elements to see what the situation is.”
After hearing this, the Demon Lord spoke no further and walked straight towards a nearby column of light.
Seeing this,
the others chose a column of light and entered it as well.
Lin Jing looked at the black column of light not far ahead, just as he thought to step into it.
However, as soon as Lin Jing moved, the column was claimed by another, none other than the cultivator who had been attacked by a puppet before.
Seeing the column taken, Lin Jing frowned slightly and then chose another direction, heading towards a red column of light a little further away.
This time, they would have to hide within the Formation Eye for three days, and Lin Jing did not wish to stay with the others.
Though Lin Jing preferred solitude, there were others who were close and prepared to move to one of the Formation Eyes together.
Just then, Xue Yilin hurriedly spoke up:
“Fellow Daoist…”
“Only one person can be accommodated within each Formation Eye. If too many enter, it will not serve any protective purpose. Remember to stay separated.”
Heeding Xue Yilin’s warning, the two immediately halted their steps and, cupping their fists towards Xue Yilin, said:
“Many thanks for the reminder, Fellow Daoist…”
After speaking, the two parted ways, heading towards different Formation Eyes.
There were a total of ten Formation Eyes and there were nine of them, so there was no need to compete for space, as there were more than enough to accommodate everyone.
It wasn’t until everyone had entered a Formation Eye that the black fog slowly drifted over.
The black fog was dense, obscuring everything around it so tightly that nothing could be seen.
Quickly, in just a dozen or so breaths, the black fog had already drifted close to the farthest unoccupied Formation Eye.
However, as the black fog neared the Formation Eye, it was directly blocked by the column of light.
It failed to enter the Formation Eye.
Upon seeing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, the black fog drifted again, approaching the second Formation Eye.
At this moment, the cultivator inside that Formation Eye was also intently watching the black fog with furrowed brows.
It wasn’t long before the second Formation Eye was engulfed.
Just like with the first Formation Eye, the column of light kept the black fog at bay.
The cultivator inside was at last able to ease up.
In this manner, the black fog surged from all directions, confining Lin Jing and his companions within the Formation Eyes.
The area inside the Formation Eye was not large, only about twenty feet in size, making it difficult to move around much.
Fortunately, everyone was a cultivator, and three days’ time was simply a matter of meditating to pass it by.
Outside the Formation Eye, it was truly ink-like black fog.
Once outside the Formation Eye, nothing could be seen, such was the density of the black fog.
Moreover, Lin Jing tried to extend his Divine Sense and discovered that even the Divine Sense could not probe outwards. If Lin Jing’s Divine Sense could not reach out, it was certainly the same for others.
However,
fortunately, Lin Jing still had the System Space. If he wanted to investigate, he could just use the Observation Mode, so there wasn’t too much to worry about…
