Chapter 308: Perfect Rescue (1/2)

Chen Wentian looked up sharply. The crowd was still clamoring endlessly below but he no longer paid them any attention. It was time. He had finally received the signal. His prized disciple was finally out of her dream.

“Long Yifei is emerging from the dream array!” He announced and floated upward.

He headed towards the small side door that was situated halfway up Lotus Tower. Several Spirit Lords that had come to take part in the festivities followed him curiously but stayed a good distance away. The mob, meanwhile, erupted into cheers and deafening shouts that shook the ground.

He ignored everything and concentrated on his upcoming task. He only had one shot at this. He could not fail. He should have been nervous but he was confident that he would succeed.

Within the secret observation room next to the dream array, a pair of Spirit Kings stood up at that same moment. One face was impassive while the other broke out into a wide smile, overcome with excitement.

“Is it time? Well?” Abbotess Liang asked, her voice quivering.

“It is.” Gong Liyun nodded, “Long Yifei has exited the dream array's influence and is now in normal sleep. It went smoothly, there are no issues.”

“Hehehe, good, good! Let’s not delay. I will take her away at once!”

Gong Liyun nodded and led the way out of the room. They entered the hallway and turned to the sealed door that led into the dream room. The inscriptions that protected the door were powerful enough to resist any attempts to force through them by several Spirit Kings. They could only be opened in a short period of time by the person who created them.

Gong Liyun summoned her spiritual energy and, through a short but complicated effort, unlocked the door.

Abbotess Liang didn’t give her companion time to move before she pushed her way into the circular array room. She appeared in an instant beside Long Yifei’s bed and peered down with a loving, almost manic expression.

“Wow…” She muttered, “She’s even more beautiful up close. I knew it, she's perfect. If I wasn’t a woman, I would take her myself!”

“There’s nothing wrong with that. Are you sure you don’t want to meet sister Qian Lan?” Gong Liyun quipped.

The abbotess snorted, “You’re lucky I am in a good mood. I’ll forgive you for that disgusting comment.”

Gong Liyun rolled her eyes and also peered at the sleeping figure of Long Yifei. She felt an uncomfortable pang and tinge of annoyance, emotions that she should not have had as a venerable immortal. However, she was still a woman. Feeling jealous and threatened by a more beautiful specimen of her gender was simply human nature. She couldn’t control it and there was probably no woman in the world who could.

“Can I move her like this?” Abbotess Liang asked.

“Yes.”

As soon as she uttered those words, their world turned pitch black!

“Who? What is going on?” Abbotess Liang was the first to scream out.

She could no longer see. She could longer hear, smell, or sense anything either. It was as if she had been plunged into a black abyss, cut off from the surrounding by endless nothingness. It was a fearful feeling that she had never experienced before.

Gong Liyun was under the same spell and felt the same. The two Spirit Kings were only a meter away from each other and yet they couldn’t even sense or hear each other. Even if they tried to walk over and touch each other, it would have been impossible as they wouldn't have been able to sense it!

These were the fearsome effects of the most powerful Shadow Realm that Chen Mo had ever cast. The expenditure of spiritual energy from him with each passing fraction of a second was truly fearsome. It far exceeded what a single Spirit Lord could ever hope to generate. If he was still alive, he would have already expended all of his life energy and fallen over dead. He was only able to sustain this domain that was able to hoodwink two Spirit Kings by drawing from every soul in the soul domain.

Even with his best efforts, he knew that he could not hope to contain these opponents for long. After just one second, the two Spirit Kings had already figured roughly what was happening. Their considerable spiritual energy was already being brought to bear and his domain would not last for much longer.
