Chapter 596: Quanqing Region (1/2)
The sounds of waves entered the ears of Ye Chuan and he came back to his senses. When he looked around, he discovered that he had already walked into the lake. The lake water had already submerged his chest.
If he had taken several more steps, then he might have submerged under the water. In the originally calm and clear lake, waves had appeared at an unknown time. Those waves were at least a dozen meters tall and slammed against the reef at the shore. The ear-deafening sounds resulted from this had awakened Ye Chuan from the daze.
So powerful!
Who was it that laid down such a powerful restriction?
Ye Chuan was greatly shocked and a chill ran down his spine. Afterward, he quickly retreated.
The restriction of Small Yao Lake was far more powerful than his expectation. The slightest carelessness made him absent-minded and get lost in illusions. When he woke up, he found that he had already entered the lake. Ye Chuan had never encountered such a restriction. It was even more powerful than the restrictions in the ancient grave worlds of Sea Demon Race’s holy land.
“What’s going on? Why did waves appear on the lake even though there is no wind?”
“Look, it’s not normal waves, it’s taiji vortex. Quick, quickly report to elders!”
The patrolling guards nearby quickly noticed the unusualness of the lake and became restless. Some had already guarded this place for over ten years, but they had never noticed such strange waves. Standing on the shore, they only saw the waves, but standing on ta high place, they discovered that the entire Small Yao Lake was had strange vortexes everywhere which set off waves. In addition, there was an indescribable energy fluctuation in the air. This fluctuation was neither weak nor strong, but had a strong penetrative power. Even when standing over one thousand meters, one’s heart would involuntarily beat rapidly for a moment and slowly for the other moment, making people scared.
The unusualness of the lake made seniors of Heavenly Yao Sect turn pale with fright. Upon hearing the news, they immediately rushed over and the number of people increased here. Ye Chuan had already left under the cover of the night and was hiding in the willow forest, quietly watching the changes.
A large number of torches approached from far away.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, a large group of Heavenly Yao Sect’s elites flew over. A black-robed old man was in the foremost of this group. Although he was old in age, he was full of energy and his eyes blazed like torches. But, at this moment, he looked completely indifferent, there was neither fear nor anger on his face.
“We pay respect to Elder Tainqing!”
Upon seeing this black-robed old man, the guards and disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect on the scene bowed and saluted in succession.
After White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi who held the power entered seclusion, Elder Tianqing was the one who overrode other deacons and elders and controlled Heavenly Yao Sect. Upon hearing the news, he quickly rushed over. Since Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was sent to Heavenly Yao Cave, the authority of this old man had become stronger. White Haired Heavenly Empress cultivated in seclusion throughout the year, appearing before the public very rarely. Therefore, he basically had the final say in the entire Heavenly Yao Sect. Now, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia’s subordinates and formerly neutral sect experts either had acted tactfully and submitted to him or had suffered a ruthless purge, thus, the entire Heavenly Yao Sect was basically become his single-word shop, only he had the say in all matters.
“What happened? What is odd with Small Yao Lake?”
Elder Tianqing looked all around and coldly asked.
Speaking about strangeness, the large numbers of vortexes and towering waves of the lake had instantly disappeared. The lake had return to its usual calmness. Not to mention terrifying vortexes, there was not even a single ripple.
Heavenly Yao Sect’s guards and disciples lowered their head. No one dared to look straight at Elder Tianqing.
Just a moment ago, the lake surface was terrifying, but now, it was calm and tranquil. No one knew what was going on and also didn’t know how to explain to Elder Tianqing.
“It is a grand sacrifice competition tomorrow, now, it is the time to display our sect’s strength and bearing. There are guests everywhere, the sects all over the world have rush over upon hearing the news to congratulate us. In this critical juncture, why are you all creating a disturbance without any reason? How long has it been since Heavenly Maiden created the disturbance? The bad characters had just disappeared and you all are anxious to challenge the sect’s authority? This lordship has been in Heavenly Yao Sect for several thousand years, become a great deacon elder from a smalltime outer disciple, but how come I have never heard of something taiji restriction and also never heard of unusualness in this Small Yao Lake?”
Elder Tianqing was furious and he ferociously glared at everyone present here as if he wanted to pick out the person who secretly wanted to create a disturbance.
The disciples present here hung their head low. They were so scared that they were trembling.
