Chapter 696 - Heaven’s Wail (1/2)

“Heaven’s Wail is a major catastrophe.” Another clan elder frowned, obviously not trusting Lin Zhan’s words very much. “If a major catastrophe is coming, the Prophet Clan will certainly give a hint. Otherwise, how would they have the face to be one of the Divine Clan?”

“The Prophet Clan?” Lin Zhan couldn’t help sneering, “Decades ago, the main line of the Prophet Clan was ordered to divine the fate of a Qianyuan Dynasty heir who was ranked towards the front. They had already suffered the backlash from the Dao of Heaven and couldn’t recover for several years. If the disaster fell from the sky, there would naturally be a sign, but if it was man-made — heh, it would look like what’s happening now. What’s more, it’s not like Esteemed Lan Yue did not warn everyone. He sent letters to all Divine Clans one by one, calling on them to gather at the Daoist sect to discuss the issue of driving away evil spirits. However, who believed his words? There are many people who uttered jokes behind his back and satirized secretly.”

Xuan Wushe glanced at Lin Zhan. “What are you wasting your breath for? The disaster is approaching. Let’s get those people out of there first and talk about other things later.”

Before the words fell, Xuan Wushe flew towards the center of the vortex that was still blowing with black mist. Like a goshawk, his cloak was open, and his whole body was surrounded by fierce wind. He scattered the black mist surging from the vortex. It looked like Xuan Wushe’s figure was about to disappear into the vortex.

Suddenly, the black smoke condensed even faster, and it turned into a black dragon in the blink of an eye. With the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers, it roared violently, and its entire body rushed straight towards Xuan Wushe.

Xuan Wushe made a sword seal with his right hand, and a teal lotus radiating sacred light wrapped around him, slashing the black dragon through the waist.

The people underneath made nervous and terrified noises. Many of the sect powerhouses and clan elders who were invited to witness the birth of the next Dragon Emperor had also returned to their senses. They would never sit and wait for death and encouraged their own disciples to assume fighting stances, waiting for a chance to attack.

Xuan Wushe flipped over while holding his sword and cut towards the incorporeal black dragon thousands of times larger than his own body. After a few slashes, the black dragon was scattered into several pieces.

Before the pieces could merge together again, Xuan Wushe cast another spell and enveloped it with a large golden-teal sword Qi net.

With a deafening scream, the black dragon without horns gradually turned into black mist and dissipated, drifting in the air.

Everyone here was shocked.

After Xuan Wushe killed the black dragon, he continued flying towards the vortex, but the whirlpool seemed to realize that Xuan Wushe was too powerful, so it suddenly shrank into a ball.

Xuan Wushe slashed his sword and shouted, “Break!”

The ball was forcibly torn open again.

Suddenly, strong winds erupted, and a heavy snowfall came. Some of the snowflakes condensed into balls of ice and some into icicles, which shot forth from the crack in the sky.

Lin Zhan’s eyes became cold, and he shouted, “Hurry up and defend! Those things can hurt people!”

Everyone took out magic weapons and cast spells in an attempt to block out these evil things falling from the sky. The sound of banging and slamming continued, and the scuffle below became a chaotic scene.

Lin Zhan was being protected by Zhuang Xinglan, his personal bodyguard. Zhuang Xinglan blocked those sharp falling icicles that were as big as small children, so Lin Zhan merely stood in place and looked solemnly towards the broken sky. Lin Zhan clenched his left hand tightly.

”

Zhuang Xinglan was shocked. He gradually squeezed the weapon in his hand and pursed his lips. “Your Highness, I’ll go and kill that thing!”

Lin Zhan refuted, “No need, you can just stand beside me. You can’t kill that thing.”

“Can’t kill it?” Zhuang Xinglan was stunned.

Those evil spirits emerged from Heaven’s Wail one by one and slowly solidified into tangible entities. They were naked monsters with long slender limbs, smooth skin, and human faces, but they didn’t have any hair.

“What’s that?”

“Monsters are flying out of the crack. Kill them quickly!” Someone shouted.

Half of the people who were blocking the falling icicles turned to kill the evil spirits. However, they were too far away, and most of their attacks lost power before it could even reach the monsters.

The hornless black dragon who blocked the sun hovered in the air, motionless. Its body was coiled up. The sky was heavy and the cold wind was howling. Evil spirits stretching their bodies squeezed out one by one, making sounds that human beings could never make. They rushed down from the air at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye!

“Wushe!” Lin Zhan suddenly shouted.

Originally, Xuan Wushe had already cut an opening through the entrance that would allow only one person to pass through, but he too saw the scene outside.

He made a decision almost instantly. He withdrew his sword, allowing the entrance of the Dragon Tomb Holy Land to be completely closed, and then wiped the blade with his left hand, letting the blood drip down the sword.

The man held his sword and turned into a ray of teal light, hitting the evil spirits head-on. There was the sound of massive roaring incessantly scattered through the air. With the power of one person, Emperor Xuan slashed dozens of evil spirits into black smoke.

Someone wanted to go up to help, but Lin Zhan admonished, “Don’t go up and add trouble!”

The young man was startled. Although he was unconvinced, he didn’t dare to say more because of the prestige of the East Empress.

Seeing that Xuan Wushe killed them so easily, the Dragon Queen thought that those evil things only looked strange and powerful, but in fact they were actually really weak, so she said to the Dragon Emperor, “Your Majesty, this is the territory of the Longyao family. If you’re only watching the Eastern Sovereign doing something, when this matter is over, I’m afraid that others will look down on you, the Dragon Emperor!”

The Dragon Emperor glanced at his own Dragon Queen, and there was an unknown emotion in his eyes. Even at a time like this, she was still worried about power struggles — truly, only this Dragon Queen of his could do something like that.

He nodded gently. “What you said is quite reasonable.”
