Chapter 185: Chapter 136: The Great River Dragon Pillar! The Cause of Death of Pei Xiong and Others!

With a bang!

Lin Yan, wielding the Night Lamp Treasure Blade, suddenly slashed down.

A blood-red blade light flashed abruptly.

Evil Qi increased threefold!

"Another three li ahead, and we should be nearly there."

Lin Yan exhaled and turned to say, "Remember to report to High Willow City tomorrow and temporarily hide the markers for this Pure Land."

Chen Feng, the Flag Commander, immediately nodded in response.

This Pure Land had encountered issues and if it wasn’t hidden promptly, beginning tomorrow, passing merchants or officials from various cities, traveling around the Dayin River area, would still consider this small Pure Land a resting place.

If they arrived near dusk only to find this Pure Land was decommissioned, they wouldn’t make it to the next Pure Land in time.

The likely outcome would be exposure in the wilderness, with slim chances of survival.

They continued forward, only to discover a sudden burst of light ahead.

"Is that signal fire ignited by one of my Observatory divisions?"

A voice came from a distance, quite solemn.

"It’s Deputy Commander Zhou!"

Overjoyed, Chen Feng shouted, "This is Chen Feng, accompanying Wu Chang, the Inspection Envoy."

"Wu Chang?"

A light flickered not far away, and the figure of a man appeared, floating closer, his True Qi bursting out, slashing and killing minor demons and evil spirits.

This man, dressed in white, approached and frowned, "Why have you come?"

"I’ve seen the Deputy Commander."

Lin Yan calmly said, "By Mr. Lu’s orders, I’ve come to investigate the Dayin River."

"This place is too bizarre; we will investigate further tomorrow."

Zhou Yuan gestured, and the lights behind him gradually drew near.

Upon closer observation, there appeared to be more than fifty people.

Many of them were passing merchants, under the protection of the Observatory.

As for the people of the Observatory, less than twenty had gathered here so far.

Clearly, the Observatory had suffered losses during the previous night.

"Has the Pure Land ahead been destroyed?"

Seeing this scene, Lin Yan immediately understood the situation.

"The changes at the Dayin River have exceeded expectations."

Zhou Yuan’s face was solemn, his voice low, "No wonder after throwing the Holy Grail three times, requesting a daylight encirclement to slay the dragon, Liu Venerate did not allow it!"

He pointed towards the direction of Dayin River, saying, "The small Pure Land where we were stationed, within a radius of three to five li, has been washed away, along with the ’town object,’ and has sunk into the Dayin River..."

As his voice fell, he drew his sword and swung it.

True Qi erupted; a streak flashed through the night sky.

Three hundred steps away, a demon was slain on the spot by him.

Then it was eaten by other demons.

"The Dayin River is still flooding; we cannot stay here!"

Deputy Commander Zhou solemnly said, "Let’s head to that medium-sized Pure Land; it is farther from the riverbanks of the Dayin River and should not be washed away!"

He turned his head and instructed, "Shed all unnecessary burdens... If anyone hesitates to leave their possessions and can’t keep up, they must fend for themselves."

He then waved his hand, gathering the Liu Branch Night Lamp and the Bright Night Divine Lamp together.

With his presence, a figure in the Qi Refinement Realm, he made no attempt to conceal his might.

For a moment, demons and evil spirits dared not approach.

After all, this was still within a hundred li of the outskirts of High Willow City.

With the Bright Night Divine Lamp of Liu Venerate and a Qi Refinement Realm figure present, as long as no further accidents occurred, they should be able to hold their ground!

Just as he thought this, he heard the river roaring, like thousands of beasts howling.

Accompanied by a large number of pale green phosphorescence, it emerged densely above the Dayin River, numbering in the thousands.

"What kind of evil spirit is this?"

Feeling the restlessness of his mount, Lin Yan immediately reached out to calm it and looked toward the numerous phosphorescent lights on the river’s surface.

This was clearly not an ordinary evil spirit!

"Something’s not right; the reports from the Observatory Tower didn’t mention these things!"

The color drained from Deputy Commander Zhou’s face, and he immediately ordered, "Retreat!"

—

Meanwhile, inside High Willow City.

Atop the Observatory Tower, the Divine Mirror tasked with monitoring the west reflected many changes.

"Mr. Liu Qi, there is a large amount of blue phosphorescence appearing upstream of the Dayin River," reported an official in charge, his voice grave, "It has already exceeded tens of thousands."

"Which kind of evil spirit is it, can you ascertain clearly?" Mr. Liu Qi’s expression was solemn, "Where did so many come from?"

"It’s still unclear, but they are flowing downstream from upstream, and may appear along the tributaries near High Willow City," said the official, his face showing alarm.

"Could it be that large snake that transformed into a dragon, a newfound Bloodline Divine Power?" Mr. Liu Qi spoke gravely, "Has that transforming dragon been found?"

"No!" the official stated solemnly, "Since noon, it suddenly burst forth, then submerged into Dayin River, and has not surfaced since... The only thing that is certain is that it’s still at the bottom of Dayin River."

"Has the Observatory asked for reinforcements?" Mr. Liu Qi asked again.

"Not yet," the official quickly replied.

"Then that’s still good."

Mr. Liu Qi frowned and instructed, "Keep a close watch; don’t miss any ’anomalous Qi’ changes!"

"Yes!"

The official promptly acknowledged and left.

Nevertheless, Mr. Liu Qi, looking at the information laid out before him, murmured, "Just one afternoon, and the banks of Dayin River have been broken through, widening it by three times, the water forcefully surging more than ever... What on earth happened at its source?"

—

Inside the Liu Venerate Temple.

At this moment, Liu Venerate was still in deep slumber.

But the Great Temple Priest managed to barely communicate with a strand of divine consciousness through the "Holy Grail."

"With such an upheaval in Dayin River, Liu Venerate still does not allow a joint effort to slay the dragon?"

The Commander frowned, "What kind of ominous sign could this event bring?"

"Liu Venerate is in deep slumber; the will communicated by the Holy Grail only informs us that this cannot be done."
