Chapter 59: What’s Coming Can’t Be Avoided

Above the skies of Jialan Academy.

A magnificent flying artifact hovered in the air, advancing like a majestic mountain peak, flying south at an extremely fast speed.

Tang Haiyang sat at the front, a grave and evil thought flashing in his domineering eyes.

“Hun Tian, do you know why the Soul Hall Master is looking for our Dean?”

Hun Tian shook his head coldly, his face full of disinterest.

“That’s their business. People like us are not qualified to know!”

Tang Haiyang gave an awkward laugh, retracting his previous domineering gaze, and laughed loudly.

“Hahaha, you’re right. I was thinking too much!”

Hun Tian sat in his spot with a blank expression, but his mind was already calculating.

The flying artifact was incredibly fast. In less than an hour, it had traveled several hundred kilometers, and was now close to Anjin City.

At this moment, above the skies of Anjin City, wind and thunder suddenly arose. The whistling sound shook the heavens, obscuring the sun.

A suffocating and oppressive killing intent enveloped the world, and the originally clear sky turned dim.

A one-sided slaughter was about to begin!

…

“Senior, there’s a bird flying towards you!”

Xu Lingqing had already tried to fly for the tenth time, all ending in failure.

Her cold gaze looked towards the sky, as if she could clearly see a huge bird streaking across the firmament.

She thought this bird was going to find her Senior, so she couldn’t help but shout a warning.

Chen Anping looked blankly at the prompt on the game map. In the boundless sky, there was a large, distinctive red dot.

The large red dot was countless times bigger than the red dots that marked ordinary monsters. Zooming in, it was actually a flying ship.

That’s right, a ship that could fly!

The ship was flying at an extremely high speed. On the game screen, only the tail wing left in its wake could be seen.

Chen Anping focused his gaze again. The ship had come to a halt in the sky above Anjin City.

“Baby Lingqing, someone’s raiding our home!”

Xu Lingqing’s expression sank. She instantly understood Chen Anping’s meaning and retracted the wings on her back.

“Senior, are you telling me to go back to Anjin City?”

Chen Anping fell silent for a moment. If she went back, Lingqing would definitely face danger again. If she didn’t go back, all the villagers in Anjin City would surely die.

After some thought, he still chose for her to go back. If they encountered an irresistible danger, he would just spend more money!

[Yes!]

Xu Lingqing propped her chin with her hands, her eyes smiling into crescent moons.

This tone… ‘Senior’ is actually quite cute!

Suddenly, a screen full of red warnings flooded Chen Anping’s eyes.

[Warning! Warning! Lin Jintian has been demonized. You must pay attention to his abnormal behavior!]

“Baby Lingqing, after you return to Anjin City, be careful of Lin Jintian!”

“Why?”

“I can’t explain it in a short time. You just need to know that he has become a bad person!”

Xu Lingqing’s heart sank. Although she had already guessed Chen Anping’s previous hint, hearing these words for real still filled her heart with disbelief.

He was such a good person, willing to risk his life for the citizens of Anjin City. How could he become a bad person?

“Senior, I believe City Lord Lin will not harm me!”

…

A thousand li above Anjin City.

An endless sense of oppression descended from the sky, like ripples spreading through the air, adding a sense of dullness.

Gong Yue stood on the city wall with a grim expression. He suddenly took a deep breath.

What’s coming can’t be avoided!

The ship stopped, letting out a series of muffled, continuous sounds.

One shadow, followed by ten others, flew down from the sky in an orderly fashion.

Gong Yue recognized the figure at the very front and couldn’t help but let out a soft gasp of cold air.

Instantly, Tang Haiyang, with a sinister smile on his face, stared at Gong Yue and mocked.

“My good disciple, do you also want to imitate that monster Xu Lingqing and try to challenge the authority of Jialan Academy?”

Gong Yue remained calm in the face of danger, composed even before an expert whose strength was countless times greater than his own.

“Master, you didn’t come here just to reminisce with me, did you!”

Spiritual rhyme surged within Tang Haiyang’s body, and an invisible pressure crushed down. To his surprise, Gong Yue only took half a step back.

A look of contempt appeared in his eyes, “Eh? Who gave you the courage to not fear this elder!”

Gong Yue smiled calmly and slowly raised his hand, “Old dog Tang, I have prepared a great gift for you!”

“Receive my gift well!”

In an instant, Tang Haiyang only felt a heat in his rear, and his heart began to beat rapidly, as if it were about to burst from his chest.

“Not good! Retreat first!”

As his words fell, a red glow appeared in the sky, a trace of scorching immortal energy revealed within it.

Having learned from his previous costly experiences, Tang Haiyang was like a bird startled by the twang of a bowstring. He shot into the sky in fright, fleeing in all directions in an attempt to dodge the impending immortal fire.

The other ten were the same, feeling an inexplicable fear of the mysterious immortal fire.

Looking up, the scene in the sky was somewhat comical.

Eleven figures scurried around like clowns, and it was unclear what they were trying to do.

Rage surged in Tang Haiyang’s heart, and he roared, “Gong Yue, you dare to trick me!”

In the next second, a sky full of immortal fire shot down from the heavens, targeting Tang Haiyang. Each ball of immortal fire carried a scorching immortal flame, mercilessly engulfing the eleven of them.

Gong Yue’s heart filled with joy. Based on the power of the immortal fire he had seen before, even if Tang Haiyang didn’t die, he would be seriously injured. This would buy Anjin City a little breathing room.

However, what he didn’t expect was that he, Gong Yue, was not Chen Anping, and the effect of the Immortal Fire Talisman he used was far inferior.

When the after-effects of the Immortal Fire Talisman dissipated, the sky returned to its original state.

Tang Haiyang’s body was only blackened on the surface; he had not suffered any serious injuries.

Having recovered, his face was ferocious and terrifying. One hand wiped away the sorry state of his face, while the other pointed at the ground.

“Good! Very good!”

“We didn’t want to resort to total annihilation, but now this old man will let you know the consequences of angering me!”

He was angry. He was completely enraged!

Along with his anger, complex and incomprehensible runes suddenly appeared around the ship standing tall in the sky. The runes projected a monstrous black light, obscuring the sun.

Suddenly, in the already dark sky, a series of muffled thunderclaps sounded, followed by lightning streaking across the sky.

Where there is thunder and lightning, there is rain. This was the prelude to a downpour.

“Poisonous rain!”

“That’s a destructive poisonous rain!”

Gong Yue had seen this move before. It was when he was at Jialan Academy, he had seen Tang Haiyang unleash this kind of rain on a group of ferocious beasts.

Any creature touched by even a single drop of that rain, even with the tough bodies of ferocious beasts, would be melted, let alone a group of ordinary people who were not even cultivators.

At this moment, everyone in Anjin City felt a deathly silence oppressing their hearts.

Pairs of desperate eyes turned to the sky, and countless roars grew louder and louder.

Drip… drip…

The poisonous rain was about to fall…
