Chapter 359: Saving People (1/2)

“So the Witherdew celestial emperor has come....” Situ Zong went as white as a sheet as helplessness subsumed him.

Two years ago, after the tournament in Dusk, the nine celestial emperors had abdicated their thrones, including the Witherdew celestial emperor. The celestial emperor Situ Zong was referring to was his successor. The new celestial emperor hadn’t yet reached origin dao immortal, but he was still a powerful arcane dao immortal.

The Star Demon Sect was based in Witherdew Major, and had clashed with the major for nearly twenty thousand years. The former celestial emperor had shown some mercy to them, but his successor violently cut them down as soon as he took the throne.

The new administration had delivered many blows to the Star Demon Sect, and the celestial emperor had even personally taken to the field to deal with the senior council of the sect.

The Blithe Entrapment Formation was Witherdew Major’s greatest treasure, akin to the Ingress Path of Nephrite Major. The formation signaled that the Witherdew celestial emperor himself had descended upon the tomb!

“Witherdew Celestial Emperor huh… I wonder if he’s the real deal.” Lu Yun paused. “The formation is a bit troublesome, though.”

The ‘entrapment’ part of the Blithe Entrapment Formation meant trapping and slaughtering. In other words, the formation was also a killing formation!

Corpses littered the ground within the formation. More than a thousand immortals had been executed, and some had even been churned into meat paste. Survivors were taking shelter behind the protection of dao immortals of their sects, but the dao immortals could only hold their ground for so long, even with the aid of powerful treasures; they themselves couldn’t counter the terrible formation.

With a single thought, Lu Yun deployed a magnificent white path to protect himself and his companions before the power of the formation could harm them.

The Ingress Path alleviated the pressure they were under. Upon a second thought, Lu Yun waved a hand, extending the path until it reached the arcane dao immortal among the survivors.

“It’s the Ingress Path!” The sudden emergence of the white path ignited hope in many expressions, while the arcane dao immortal blinked at the sudden development.

“Lu Yun?” He frowned at Lu Yun in incomprehension.

“Senior, are you from the Xiangliu Clan of the East Sea?” Lu Yun shouted. “I’m good friends with your eldest prince, Xiangliu Hongzhen.”

Grasping the situation, the arcane dao immortal relaxed his brows.

“Ah, stay behind me then, young friend.” Lu Yun had surely extended the Ingress Path to him to seek his protection.

He didn’t know about the friendship between Lu Yun and the Deaf Prince, but the alliance of profligates had caused no end of trouble on Levitating Island and ended up destroying Myriad Returns Market as the cherry on top. Rumors had placed Lu Yun by Xiangliu Hongzhen’s side, and the prince had always idolized the youth sovereign. It made sense for them to become friends.

Strange. Didn’t Lu Yun betray the Nephrite court and appoint himself the Dusk Lord? Why would Zhao Changkong give him the Ingress Path? This bit confused the arcane dao immortal. And the man beside him seems to be an aether dao immortal from the Star Demon Sect...

“Please set foot on the Ingress Path, senior. This junior will guide you to safety.” Instead of entering the arcane dao immortal’s sphere of protection, Lu Yun remained on the path and created an opening.

The arcane dao immortal and the other immortals from the East Sea gaped at him.

Guide them to safety?
