Chapter 358 - Underground Ambush (1/2)
Black Sand Dynasty, Lin Lake City.
Even during summer, the area around Lin Lake City was covered in snow. Many commoners built igloos in the wilderness.
A letter? Bai Nianyun wore a thick robe as she opened the envelope in the study and read the contents. Dajiang has become a Patroller G.o.dfiend?
After Bai Nianyun read the letter’s contents, she began missing her husband dearly. It was a good thing that Meng Dajiang had become a Great Solar G.o.dfiend. However, the fact that he had become a Patroller G.o.dfiend made Bai Nianyun. The casualty rate of Patroller G.o.dfiends was too high.
Dajiang, I really want to meet you so that our family can reunite. Bai Nianyun couldn’t help but cry as her tears stained the letter. All these years, she had suffered in silence. However, she had no choice.
As a Grand Yin Holy Maiden, she was forbidden from losing her virginity. This was the sect’s rule. However, she had violated the sect’s rules and angered her matriarch, Bai Yaoyue. Back then, she had threatened to end her own life and made all sorts of promises before Bai Yaoyue agreed not to vent her anger on the Meng family. Back then… she had promised to sever ties with the Meng family as well as Meng Dajiang and Meng Chuan.
Although she couldn’t help but secretly take a look when her son, Meng Chuan, got married, she silently left after watching from afar. She didn’t dare contact him for real or exchange a few words with him. She had nothing to say since she was in the wrong when she chose to marry Meng Dajiang.
However, she could not suppress her feelings. When Bai Nianyun read the letter, she had the impulse to ignore everything else. Her family’s reputation? Her reputation? She wanted to throw it to the back of her mind and accompany her husband to roam the wilderness. She was even willing to die in battle with him.
But she knew that doing such a thing would only anger the matriarch.
Bai Yaoyue was now in charge of Black Sand Grotto-Heaven. Her status was extremely high, so Bai Nianyun didn’t dare to anger her. Furthermore, she was only a Marquis G.o.dfiend. She was more useful for guarding cities than patrolling the wilderness.
Dajiang, you shall patrol the mountains and wilderness while I’ll guard the cities. We will fight the demons together. Bai Nianyun activated her Quintessential Essence and reduced the letter in her hand to dust.
9th July, the Great Zhou Dynasty’s underground.
Yellow Oscillate and North Sense brought the demon monarch, Longswim, to a depth of 14 kilometers underground. “I’ve investigated the locations of nearly 500 demon monarch cave abodes in the Great Zhou Dynasty,” said the black-robed North Sense. “Most demon monarchs are within the depths of 9 kilometers to 19 kilometers underground. Most that hide at this depth are still alive. The mysterious G.o.dfiend doesn’t frequently search for demon monarch lairs at this depth. In the coming days, he will definitely sweep this area.”
“Yes.” Yellow Oscillate nodded. “Then let’s set up the formation here.”
“The depth of 9 kilometers to 19 kilometers,” The demon monarch-who was tall and thin -suddenly said, “Two demon sages will help guard the formation. It will take an hour to set up the formation.”
Yellow Oscillate and North Sense waited patiently.
Demon Monarch Longswim was the best at array formations among the newly-advanced fifth Firmament demon monarchs that had infiltrated the human world.
Everyone had their specialty. King Desire Redemption was Archean Mountain’s number one illusionist. King Luyue was Archean Mountain’s number one poison-refining expert. Although Creation Supremacies were powerful, they were only skilled at what they specialized in. Similarly, Demon Monarch Longswim’s skill with runic array formations was more brilliant than the few demon sages currently in the human world. This was because studying runic array formations was very unorthodox.
Be it humans or demons, it was considered an unorthodox field, which made achieving anything in this field difficult.
“The Three Terminal Formation needs to be set up extremely carefully. A single mistake can result in a huge difference.” Demon Monarch Longswim patiently began to set up the formation. Thankfully, the array formation and equipment had long been refined. All Longswim needed to do was set up the formation. As for Patriarch Yellow Oscillate and the black-robed North Sense, they obediently stood ready to heed his instructions.
Demon Monarch Longswim set up the array rather quickly. In less than an hour, everything was done.
Boom!
An invisible fluctuation appeared within the array formation. A black membrane even appeared at the edge of the array formation; it resembled a world membrane. A terrifying aura emanated from the array formation. It was an aura that could destroy everything. However, the fluctuations all disappeared soon after. The membrane vanished as well. Everything returned to normal.
“The array formation is operating normally.” Longswim’s eyes were filled with obsession as he praised, “It’s truly impressive. It blocks out the world, s.p.a.cetime, and fate. It’s unbelievable that the Imperial Lords are willing to send the Three Terminal Formation over. The three of us are just fifth Firmament demon monarchs. If three demon sages activate the array formation, it will be even more terrifying.”
