Chapter 597: Chapter 597: Uncontrollable Things Still Happened

Gu Yu’s disappearance couldn’t be related to the secret of this island, could it?

Was it what he had guessed?

Shang Shaojing pondered for a moment before turning and walking towards the forest to investigate Gu Yu’s whereabouts.

But before he could take a step, a muffled sound suddenly came from behind him.

Almost everyone on the shore was startled.

Someone took out a telescope to check the situation, and then yelled loudly, "Damn, there seems to be a bomb in the lake; the water was blasted into the air!"

"What the hell, where did this bomb come from?"

"It’s not about where the bomb came from; where did you get a telescope? Let me have a look."

"Shoot, such a commotion; what’s going on?"

Zhuola also noticed the anomaly at the same time.

Unlike those who were excited by the disturbance in the lake, she felt the changes in the Feng Shui aura around her.

Since her first day at the lake, she had felt that the Feng Shui of this lake was exceptionally good, but the terrain was incredibly ordinary, even poor.

It was as if there was a magnetic field that attracted all the Feng Shui of the island and trapped it in this lake.

Thus, she was certain that the lake hid what her master had mentioned.

But because the program team’s drones were monitoring the area all day, and there were people coming and going, she hadn’t been able to act, thinking of finding a time tonight to investigate.

But unexpectedly...

The "magnetic field" collapsed just like that.

Almost all of the Feng Shui powers began to disperse in all directions.

How, how could this be?

Hadn’t Master said that no one but Master Yi Xuan from that year could break this?

Meanwhile, in a certain village.

In a dimly lit room, an elder with silver-white hair sat on a cushion with his eyes closed.

Around him were niches filled with various ferocious and malevolent deities, and the walls were also covered with strange talismans, looking extremely scary.

The elder was making hand signs and chanting, while the space outside the screen was filled with kneeling local villagers.

"Daoist, you must save us."

"Immortal Qiu has vast powers, and he will surely fulfill our wishes."

"I’ve offered everything to the Immortal; I pray for his protection."

The young man standing beside with a Daoist bun glanced at the elder behind the screen, then swept a cold look towards the group of people kneeling outside.

"Silence. If you disturb the Daoist’s cultivation, you will suffer consequences."

Instantly, everyone quieted down.

The young man then walked to a fat man’s side and whispered, "Is there still no sign of Sixth Sister?"

The fat man snorted, "Why bother with her? She just followed Master and listened to his teachings for a few days, and she isn’t officially part of our sect. Even if she’s dead, she’s not one of us. Moreover, with her cold personality, she displeases everyone; it’s a waste to care about her."

The young man frowned, about to interrogate, when he heard the elder behind the screen cough violently.

Caught off guard, the elder clutched his chest and spurted black blood onto the screen.

"Master!"

Several disciples rushed over immediately.

...

Dragon Ridge Island.

While the people on the shore were in disarray, not knowing what had happened in the lake, the program team’s announcement reached everyone’s ears through their watches—

"We apologize for the mistake made by the program team, which led to a reconnaissance drone losing control and crashing into the lake, causing an explosion and startling our guests. We express our deepest apologies."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"I always said it was the production crew’s doing, right?"

"The noise from one drone is enough to scare the life out of someone."

"What’s the deal with the production crew? Thank God the drone exploded over the lake. If it had exploded here, we would all be dead, wouldn’t we?"

Fortunately, everyone just complained for a bit and then went about their own business without taking the small accident to heart.

On the lake.

A few people scrambled to drag the unconscious Jiang Yan back.

From a distance, after seeing the raft, Bai Lu hurriedly waved.

"Jiang Li, Jiang Li, we are here. Jiang Yan has passed out. Come quickly and save him!"

After hearing the commotion, Jiang Li quickly paddled the raft over and then, with the help of everyone, pulled Jiang Yan up before frowning and asking, "What happened?"

"What else could have happened?" Shang Shuyue said, both angry and distressed, "This guy wouldn’t listen to reason, insisting on swimming out deeper, and barely swam a few strokes before something suddenly exploded in the water. He got blasted sky high. Must’ve knocked him out."

Jiang Li: "..."

Zhao Lang: "..."

One must show no emotion, as only it can explain, "Was that the noise just now? I saw it too and was about to go look for you guys with Gu Yu."

Zhao Lang: "..."

How can someone talk such nonsense with such a straight face?

Clearly, he caused that commotion, yet he acts as if he had no clue.

He himself got scared back when he was at the bottom of the lake.

When Jiang Li said he wanted to blow up the Array, he thought it was a joke. But then, the guy turned around, scattered the talisman, and dragged him to the surface with the speed of a hundred-meter sprint. Just as they climbed onto the raft, a deafening noise came from behind.

He was dumbstruck.

He had never expected that the talisman’s power would be no less than a bomb’s.

Thankfully, he had warned He Pingzhang beforehand that something unpredictable might happen once they went underwater, so he asked him to improvise. Otherwise, who knows what sort of news would have broken out online.

All the planning, and yet the unexpected still happened.

Jiang Li squatted to take Jiang Yan’s pulse, then let out a sigh of relief.

"It’s not serious, he’s just been stunned by the shock."

"You all got the messages, right? It was the show’s drone crashing into the lake that caused the explosion."

Everyone, kept in the dark, could only keep exclaiming when they heard what Jiang Li said.

"That’s too coincidental. How could the falling drone have hit exactly where we were swimming?"

Jiang Cheng patted his chest in relief, "Good thing I didn’t swim ahead, or I might’ve been the one blasted into the sky."

Jiang Li and Zhao Lang exchanged looks, both tacitly remaining silent.

Then Jiang Li pinched Jiang Yan’s philtrum and slapped his face lightly.

"Hey, wake up."

Jiang Yan soon showed signs of stirring. He obviously hadn’t fully recovered from the aftermath yet, as he opened his eyes to a vacant and bewildered gaze.

Jiang Li waved his hand in front of his eyes.

"Do you feel discomfort anywhere?"

Jiang Yan gasped, his face looking awful, and said in a barely audible voice, "Yes, it hurts."

"Where does it hurt?"

"My butt."

"What kind of pain? Did you injure a bone?"

"No..."

Jiang Yan struggled to move a bit, then reached inside his clothing. After a while, he pulled out a small crayfish. After a long sigh of relief, both his voice and his complexion returned to normal.

"It’s fine now."

Everyone: "..."
