ordinary cellar. The cold light from my phone reveals walls covered in blue bricks, each brick etched with the image of a wrathful golden king.A furious Arhat My family cultivates Daoist healers, how...That's a helicopter!

And it wasn't a rescue helicopter arranged by Lin Yanhuan.

That distinctive shape and flashing lights, it's a military helicopter!

The heavenly gate has been broken!

Because of the interference of black clouds and lightning, that helicopter circled far outside, maybe it couldn't see the situation here—we were already surrounded by darkness.

Previously, Miao Wang City had few residents, so the qi of life was insufficient. A few years ago, it was framed and used by bloodthirsty energy to provoke the rampage of the Great Corpse King, almost killing its own descendants. Now, due to a natural disaster that seals off the outside world and causes countless deaths, this bloody energy is being consumed by an old monster through a magic formation.

The sect itself was weakened because of the chaotic aura. Even the fish and shrimp in the water died en masse. This pervasive black mist was like poisonous gas that killed silently.

Penetrates the skin, enters the bloodstream, and toxins spread to the bone marrow.

They absorb life force, causing the breath of life to be consumed and suffocated by darkness.

Even with the crisis at hand, nothing compared to the faint yet distinct red dot on the horizon.

Military helicopter.

Has the government discovered this anomaly and sent troops to investigate

If this place was exposed, if a fight broke out here, would the military intervene and attack if they detected anything unusual

"Wan Chen, we have to be quiet! That's a military helicopter, it's a scout. Anything that happens here will be reported to command!" I whispered, reminding him.

Mu Wanchen's tightly furrowed brows twitched slightly, and he pondered for a moment, " ... I'll do my best."

I know he was embarrassed. When he fought the old monster and the dragon king before, the battle was earth-shattering, and the commotion couldn't be contained.

What should we do about this

"I'll go inform Lin Yanhuan and Master Yunfan right away." I blurted out.

Mú Wǎnchén pondered for a moment: "Alright, Bái Ní, lead her on a detour."

Now the way has opened, and the heavens have begun to change, but this place is remote and deep, with no phone signal.

I reached out and grasped Baine's neck, she darted quickly towards the forest edge.

That old monster's formation at the edge of the valley was spreading faster than we could relocate the people and rebuild our homes.

I never expected it to have spread across this blackened forest. It was my negligence, I suppose. The forest is a charred color, the soil covered in decaying black ash, and you can't see this black mist.

If it didn't appear in a river, we might have fallen victim to it without any warning at all.

The wind roared in my ears, and I buried my head in Bai Ni's neck. Suddenly it stopped abruptly, nearly throwing me off.

"What's wrong" I looked around cautiously.

A suffocating darkness permeated the parched forest, so dense it was impossible to discern any movement.

Flashes of lightning at the horizon occasionally illuminated the ground, and in the charred forest, ghostly shapes danced under the pale cold light.

"If there's danger, let's go the long way around…" I swallowed nervously.

As soon as the words left his mouth, a humanoid figure suddenly sprang out from the forest on all fours —

"Bai Ni!" I cried out in alarm.

Bai Ni's body swayed, her thick tail whipping out with force, and the dark figure immediately dispersed.

This can't be fought! These shadows are the same kind we saw before, the ones that could devour us. If they were all formed from blood and rage, we wouldn't stand a chance.

How do we fight them They can suck away our life force, and we can't even touch them.

Bai Ni didn't seem to want to fight either. She took me towards the edge, and a hot wind blew behind me, as if Mu Wanchen had used magic.

He possesses some very "precious" talismans, passed down for many years, said to be used sparingly.

Before dealing with the Dragon King, he had used it once. Its power was different from ordinary witch talismans; there was a hint of energy that transcended nature.

A strong wind blew back the black mist that was about to spread. Bai Ni led me out of the forest edge.

That's where we exchange supplies. Bai Ni and I just have to make sure it doesn't attract any attention, even if there are helicopters in the sky, they wouldn't be able to see us.

Dark clouds hung low, lightning ripped through the night again and again.

I anxiously watched the signal bar on my phone. I first drafted a message to send to Master Yunfan, my junior sister-in-law, and Mr. Lin Yanhuan, because I couldn't make a call at all. There wasn't even a dial tone on the phone.

Bai Ni, we might need to go further out. The storm clouds here are interfering with the signal too much," I said softly.

Bai Ni carried me, moving carefully and quietly. We weren't in the inner sanctum anymore; any loud movements would stir up dust and risk discovery.

I don't know if helicopters nowadays have heat-sensing technology like that. I was walking on edge, anxiously waiting to reach the area with two bars of signal. The moment I got there, my phone started vibrating.

"It's Xiao Shi Niang calling," she said anxiously, "What are we going to do now that the formation is broken Are you all in danger I... I told Jiang Qiyun, and he vanished immediately. Didn't he used to... My brother and Lin Yanhuan are discussing countermeasures right now, I'll let you know as soon as..." Hey, hey"

I hadn't even had a chance to say a word when it seemed like my little wife couldn't hear me again.

"Hey hey, Xiao Yinluo, if you see Jiang Qiyun, remind him — just say—"

What's up

"Hey! Little wife, I can't hear you…" The phone connection had been cut.

Deep in the mountains and old forest, the signal was already bad, and with clouds of thunder gathering, I quickly took out my phone and sent a message to my junior wife, asking her to remind Master what.

I foolishly held my arms up to the sky, as if that could absorb some signal, but I never expected it would attract a helicopter!

The deafening roar of the propeller grew louder and louder. I panicked, switched off the engine, and hugged Bai Ni's neck. Bai Ni quickly led me to a nearby ravine for cover.

I can't even imagine the military's technological capabilities, I wonder if they could be intercepting my calls

The helicopter lights shone down, and I saw them circle from afar before hovering and flying away.

What can I do

"Bai Ni, maybe we should walk a bit farther so the signal is better. I'll ask my little wife what she wants me to remind her about. It better not be something important, or it would be terrible if we missed it." I whispered.

Bai Niyi said, "Take me from the riverside to swim across the river to the other side."

I basically wouldn't get wet, but halfway there, the river suddenly surged, and a pitch-black, enormous figure surged out of the water. I was so scared that I choked on water, my hand slipped, and I fell into the river.

"...Sigh." Another sigh echoed in her ear.

A lingering, sorrowful grievance, stretching far and wide.

It's been a long time.

Where is this sound coming from Why is it only sighing, refusing to give me any further clues

Why

A flash of panic crossed my mind, but after hearing the sigh, I suddenly relaxed as if struck by lightning.

I have a feeling this voice is about to tell me some secrets.oyfriend is, blood ties can't be severed. This rich second generation can't earn much money himself, but changing luxury cars is like changing clothes, and he also has multiple properties at home. The...
