Chapter 829 - Sign! (2/2)

Ji Fang sensed the Flaming Horn fire seed aura radiating from Shao Xuan and knitted his brows. The aura was becoming stranger and stranger, as if there was something else too, not just Flaming Horn’s fire seed.

What the heck is that?

Ji Fang’s mind raced. He looked at the mountain, then at Shao Xuan, very puzzled.

Based on the usual situation, the Flaming Horn totem should have appeared already. So why hasn’t the double horn totem appeared beneath Shoa Xuan’s palm yet?

Just as he had many questions, Ji Fang suddenly heard a huge rumble like a rolling boulder or thunder. It startled everyone in the yard.

White flames erupted from Shao Xuan’s palm, then they extended in a line of flames beneath his palm until they arrived at the centre of the wall, and extended upwards. At the same time, another flaming line extended in the opposite direction to form a white cross.

The mountain trembled, pebbles rolling off its edges. However, these grain-sized stone chips came with a deafening rumble that sounded more like an avalanche.

Whoosh—

Red flames exploded out of the top of the mountain. The flames started to rise and heat up while the mountain shook even harder as if the slumbering mountain was finally awakened.

Bright sparks flew in all directions as flames rushed vertically upwards.

As the flames sputtered out of the mountain, a similar red glint appeared in Shao Xuan’s eye. However, this red glow was not noticeable against the white flames.

Gui He and the rest gawked in shock. Was every signature this dramatic?

If Ji Fang and the rest in the courtyard knew what they thought, they’d scream: No, you’re overthinking it!

Their past signatures were never like this.

In the past, it did not matter which tribe the signer was from. Even if there was a large commotion from the mark, it was contained and not this dramatic. It always felt within the mountain’s control. This time, it felt like the mountain itself could not contain the power surge!

The word should not be ‘contain’- Ji Fang felt like the mountain had given up!

Ji Fang’s eyelid twitched. The situation was getting out of his control.

The rumbling in the yard grew louder and louder as gusts of manic wind blew. Dust and sand were thrown in the air while bits of leaves rolled in the sky as if a storm was brewing.

The Mu patriarch drew in a sharp breath in shock, though he accidentally choked on some flying dust and started to cough violently as if he was about to cough blood out.

No one paid any attention to him because they were staring at the mountain. The Yi elder was more astonished than the rest.

Was it not just an agreement? What was this?!

Outside the palace, all the observers also heard the rumbling from within the palace. If it wasn’t for the sun shining brightly in a clear sky, they would have thought a storm was coming.

“What… what happened?” asked a timid person, his teeth chattering from anxiety.

Some people laughed at the rest. “This is normal. Of course there will be some commotion when a Heaven and Earth Agreement is signed. There is nothing to worry about.”

“Are you… sure?” Many were skeptical. Their fears were justified because they were all traumatised from prior natural disasters. The rumbling and shaking were very uncomfortable.

“Of course!” The person tried his best to maintain the calm expression on his face, insistent on his opinion. Even if he was not, he stubbornly stood his ground.

Bo Yi reminded his subordinates to remain vigilant in case someone stole their goods during the chaos.

Abuli and the rest gawked with curiosity, sighing, “So this is how signing an agreement looks like!”

In a house nearby, Su Li shot up with shining eyes, looking at the Changle people around him. “Something’s happened!” His favourite activity was robbing and stealing goods by capitalising on chaos. He loved to see his victims’ expressions when they noticed their missing goods, and the way they were helpless towards the Changle people.

“Watch the betting table. Once you see an opportunity, act immediately…”

Su Li had not finished his sentence when Wu He shook his head vigorously. “I’m not doing that! You all go ahead, I’m not participating in this!”
