Chapter 545: Chapter 551: Black Sand Erupts! Sense of Belonging! (Second Update)
So this was it, this black sand storm, the Mountain and River Ruins were just fine, how could such a thing appear, and with such astonishing power.
Mountain River Academy must have gone mad, to create something like this in a place they had sealed themselves. It didn’t look like they were guarding a restricted area, it seemed like they had dug themselves a hole and buried themselves in it.
Now Yang Zhen fully understood, this wasn’t something created by the people of Mountain River Academy. It was an Ancient Demonic Pattern that existed before they had sealed him. It had just been suppressed by the True Essence Heavenly Vein during that time and hadn’t been released.
Now that the True Essence Heavenly Vein has been dug up and more than half of the sealing powers have been broken, Yang Zhen and the sneaky cat had also taken away the ten-thousand-year Tiaoist Origin Fruit tree, the Ancient Demonic Pattern had already leaked out. It had previously caused more than one black sand storm, so it wasn’t surprising that it was now experiencing a full-blown one.
Boom——!
The black sand filled the sky at an incredibly fast rate, shrouding the standstill people in the blink of an eye. Yang Zhen looked up, and immediately cursed under his breath.
This thing was much faster than human speed.
Seeing the wild wind howling in the sky and the black sand obscuring the sun, a burst of eerie wails immediately erupted in the ruins of the Mountain River Academy. Flying swordsmen, people running on two legs, and even some resorting to all fours, everyone was rushing outwards.
Under the terrifying speed that Yang Zhen managed to break out with, he was still hundreds of feet ahead of everyone else, but he still hadn’t reached where Feng Lingqiao was, and was completely enveloped by the black sand that roared like a giant wave.
Shoot!
Yang Zhen stumbled and pulled the sneaky cat into his arms, asking, “How do we deal with this thing?”
Boom——!
Genjin True Pattern, Desolate Heavenly True Pattern, all erupted, even the Golden Lotus Heavenly Fire was used by Yang Zhen, forming a light barrier around the two, keeping the black sand at bay.
“Oh?” Yang Zhen was delighted and laughed heartily: “It works, what about the Ancient Demonic Pattern, it was still blocked by the Heaven and Earth True Patterns.”
The name “Ancient Demonic Pattern” sounded intimidating, but could it be more powerful than the Heaven and Earth True Patterns no matter how intimidating it was?
The ancient past was also part of the world, but not necessarily all of it was from ancient times. Once Yang Zhen understood that, he felt relaxed.
The sneaky cat also gave a sigh of relief, looked at Yang Zhen with a strange expression and said: “Damn, your luck is unsurpassed. Even the Ancient Demonic Pattern was restrained by you. Quickly find that girl and let’s get out of here. We don’t need anything else, not even the Mountain and River Map. Even though you have the Heaven and Earth True Patterns, the Ancient Demonic Pattern is weirder than you think. With your strength, you won’t be able to hold on for long.”
As soon as the cat’s words fell, Yang Zhen’s expression changed, the Heaven and Earth True Patterns’ light barrier around him trembled a few times, shrinking like a deflated balloon.
“Shit, don’t scare me!” The sneaky cat quickly shrank back, looking at Yang Zhen uncertainly.
“Move quickly, damn, this thing consumes too much…” Yang Zhen was also startled, if he was like this, what would happen to the others?
In the midst of the howling wind, wailing sounds kept coming. The band of practitioners had obviously suffered heavy casualties in an instant. As Yang Zhen leaped into action towards the large rock in his memory, he didn’t find Feng Lingqiao.
“Where’s the girl?” The sly cat’s face changed: “Has she already run away?”
“She couldn’t have gotten far!” Yang Zhen’s expression also darkened, as he released his Spiritual Consciousness outward in a sudden outburst. His face turned pale immediately.
“Kid, are you okay?” The sneaky cat was startled and quickly asked.
Yang Zhen gritted his teeth and said: “I’m fine, this Ancient Demonic Pattern really has some tricks, it can even corrode the power of the Spirit Soul.”
“Shit, then quickly withdraw your Spirit Soul, if you keep going like this, your Spirit Soul will get hurt.”
Yang Zhen shook his head, threw the cat on his shoulder, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes: “Be careful, I, the Sao Saint, brought Feng Lingqiao in here, I must take her out.”
While Yang Zhen was bearing the pain and searching for Feng Lingqiao, a bellowing laugh came from the sky, followed by a brilliant light flashing through the black sand.
“Yang Zhen, I’ll take the girl first. Meet me at the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain Conference with the Mountain and River Map and the ten-thousand-year Tiaoist Origin Fruit tree, or I can’t guarantee the girl’s safety.”
Yang Zhen shivered all over his body, squinting his eyes towards the dazzling light. His face turned pale, forcibly retracting his Spirit Soul power, and took a deep breath, saying, “If you dare mess around, Sao Saint will kill all of you in the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land!”
Fang Zhongjian laughed heartily, full of mockery and ridicule.
“Yang Zhen, I beg you, go to Mountain and River City and save my grandfather!” Feng Lingqiao’s voice came through, filled with hopeless despair.
Yang Zhen firmly said, “Fang Zhongjian, wait for Sao Saint at the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain meeting!”
Boom——!
Fang Zhongjian and his group, riding some unknown flying boat, managed to escape through the black stormy sand. In a blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace.
“It’s a sacred boat, a sacred boat of Heavenly Spring Sacred Land. Young Master Fang saves lives!”
“Fang Zhongjian, curse your ancestors, leaving me behind like this. Even if I face destruction, I will not let you off… Ah!”
“Fang Zhongjian, you bastard, stop immediately, abandoning your sect members, this is a mortal sin!”
Ghostly cries and wolf howls came from the black sand. Clearly, the so-called sacred boat couldn’t stay in the black sandstorm for too long; otherwise, Fang Zhongjian wouldn’t have abandoned his sect members.
Faced with the immediate danger, Yang Zhen quickly controlled his spirit, once again initiated the Desolate Heavenly True Pattern and Genjin True Pattern, keeping the black sand at bay.
The wild wind howled, torrents of world-destroying energy burst down. Then, a surprising scene unfolded before Yang Zhen.
In the Mountain River Ruins, a group of people appeared out of nowhere. Their faces were indistinguishable; they stumbled about like walking dead in the violent black sand, their entire eye sockets pitch black.
The despised cat looked horrified and said, “Damn, look, those might be people from the Mountain and River Academy. Didn’t expect them to turn out this way.”
Yang Zhen looked in the direction of the sound and shook his head, saying, “Actions have consequences. Although I don’t know what happened, this ending is clearly caused by these people. It’s a pity for those innocent victims who were kept in the dark.”
The despised cat skimmed his mouth and said, “There are too many innocent victims in the world of cultivation. The Mountain and River Academy not only stole my treasures but also ran out of their greed to take away the True Essence Heavenly Vein. If the Ancient Demonic Pattern breaks free, it will undoubtedly be a disaster.”
“Is it that serious?” Yang Zhen paused and then turned back.
“Damn, kid, you crazy? Instead of finding a way out at this time, you’re going back?”
“Since I’ve encountered it, let’s see if I can reseal this Ancient Demonic Pattern.”
“Why would you give a shit, kid? You’re in danger yourself, and you still have the mind to care about this?”
Yang Zhen paused, “Hmm,” he said, “Oh, when did Sao Saint become so compassionate?”
Despite what he said, Yang Zhen didn’t stop moving.
If he hadn’t encountered Feng Lingqiao, with Yang Zhen’s character, he would’ve fled without looking back at this time. However, for some reason, knowing that the Ancient Demonic Pattern is about to cause trouble, Yang Zhen’s first thought was to block this guy back up.
In this world, there are already many innocent people, and without going back once, Yang Zhen’s conscience wouldn’t be at ease. Damn, conscience, it’s not something you can just throw away if you say so.
Meanwhile, Yang Zhen had another thought.
He didn’t know when he had begun to feel a sense of belonging in this world.
Just as Yang Zhen was returning to the sealing spot according to his memory, a figure in front stumbled, and another figure rushed over, seemingly trying to pull that person up.
“Master Tie and the she-demon?” Yang Zhen hesitated, “Why are they staying here instead of leaving?”
