Chapter 830 - Purple City (1/2)

Useless!

This was what everyone thought when they looked at Wu He, along with disgust.

However, Wu He did not mind, giving an ‘I admit that I am’ look and did not change his mind.

AS the chief, Su Li should reprimand him for ‘lacking ambition’ which did not align with their ‘values’. The words were at the tip of his tongue when he thought about how the Flaming Horn tribe captured Wu He and a few others, and since then, he somehow became their mailman?

After some thought, Su Li shrugged, “Fine.” He then looked around. “Who thinks the same?”

Four more people did. They were active members of the Changle people and were equally traumatised by the Flaming Horns. Su Li did not insist either because he privately was also traumatised. However, he felt like this time should be fine.

Just as they were itching to make a move, something peculiar happened.

“Look! What is that?!”

“Is there something wrong with my eyes? Why do I see purple light there?”

“I see it too!”

“Yes, it’s purple!”

The observers saw faint purple light shining out of the palace.

At the centre of the palace, within the garden with the Heaven and Earth AGreement Book.

The flames burning on top of the mountain turned from red to purple. In the beginning, only the outline of the flames was purple but the purple was spreading fast.

Shao Xuan’s had remained on the wall but the white flaming lines had turned into a large cross, also the shaman symbol, and was extending unobstructed across the wall!

The shaman symbol took up the entire wall- the wall was twenty metres, meaning the pattern was twenty metres tall!

“Founder Shaman Seal!” gasped the Yi elder.

More and more flames spouted out of the mountain, the red flames quickly replaced by purple. Even the heat and peripheral flames extending outwards were turning purple!

Purple flames?!

What shocked the crowd even more was that while the white shaman symbol formed, all the marks left behind by the other tribes on the wall started to move!

The totems were not moving but the mountain itself. The mountain was moving the parts with other totems away to make more space for this shaman symbol!

The King City folk fell silent, their eyes glazed over.

This scene had far exceeded Ji Fang’s expectations.

The fire seed in the mountain was purple but this colour had not appeared in a long time. Ji Fang only learned of this from their ancestral notes. Afterwards, people told him that the fire seed inside was considered a primitive fire seed so it could not be merged and passed down generations. That was why it was destined to decline.

Ji Fang always thought that the mountain could never display its colours again but the purple flames had appeared once again!

What was the reason?!

Ji Fang’s eyes were glued to the giant Founder Shaman Seal on the mountain wall, as well as the double horn totem at the centre of the seal, his hand clutching the hilt of his sword. Green veins popped out of the back of his palm as all his muscles trembled.

Why must it be a Flaming Horn?!

He suddenly regretted signing a deal with the Flaming Horn tribe because it meant he could not invade the Flaming River region both privately and publicly.

However, a thought crossed his mind and Ji Fang loosened the grip on his sword. A strange smirk spread across his face but he quickly suppressed it so no one saw him.

The entire mountain was on fire now. Purple flames rose to the sky and heat radiated in all directions.

The palace roofs were all dyed a faint purple from the purple flames. This mysterious purple light only brightened with time and the area bathed in purple light quickly expanded.

Purple smoke spread out of the palace until the streets, buildings, people and objects of King City were bathed in purple.

Gasps came from the streets. Everyone dropped what they were doing and rushed out of their houses.

People dressed in all types of clothing came out to the streets, gawking at the palace like they were looking at a religious sign.

The sky above the palace had turned purple, far stronger than sunlight itself!

The streets became crowded in the blink of an eye. The once wide streets that could fit giant beasts were filled with so many people no one could move forwards or backwards.

People were everywhere!

This was the first time they felt the size of King City’s population. Most importantly, the Heaven and Earth Agreement became more mysterious to them.

They had only heard from their elders about it- even the ones who had witnessed the agreement-signing before had never seen anything like this. Their elders never mentioned such a thing either.

A fire seed’s aura radiated from the palace. It did not belong to any tribe and did not have a strong feeling of repulsion. IN fact, it made them revere and worship such energy. Those who retained their tribal habits had the urge to kneel.

Within the betting house, the betters had all forgotten about their bets. Abuli and the group also had their attention on the palace, speculating. What happened? Did they need reinforcements? Should they be gathering their troops to save them?

However, there were also people who remembered the bets, for example the head of the betting house, Bo Yi.

Compared to the excitement he felt during the bet, he was currently ghostly pale as beads of sweat dripped off his forehead. He did not even wipe his face, his eyes darting around quickly. Those who knew him understood that he was currently making swift calculations in his head.

Bo Yi was calculating the profits from this bet. Just like how Yi Si could predict the future based on his detailed observations of his surroundings, while Bo Yi had not reached such mastery, he was still good at predicting future events with seventy percent accuracy.
