Chapter 302 Young Man on a White Horse Drunk in the Spring Breeze 77
Tianqi City.
The sky was an unusual crimson, like a burning flame, enveloping the entire world in an eerie crimson hue.
Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed like sharp blades across the sky, as if foreshadowing some ominous sign that was about to descend.
Lei Mengsha, Ye Dingzhi, Ye Xiaoying, Su Muyu, Su Changhe, and others, under Xiao Ruofeng's careful planning, each led their soldiers and stood guard at key locations within the city.
Everyone watched the unsettling phenomenon in the sky with bated breath, remaining highly vigilant and ready to respond to any possible emergencies.
Even with such tight security, the people in the city were still terrified by this sudden strange phenomenon, and they all hid in their homes, keeping their doors and windows tightly shut, and dared not go out.
The city became deserted, the streets were empty, and only a few frightened birds circled in the air, emitting mournful cries.
A heavy and oppressive atmosphere permeated the air; fear, like an invisible giant net, enveloped the entire Apocalypse City, as if the end of the world was imminent.
This situation was not limited to Tianqi City; the entire Beili was shrouded in gloom.
-------------------------------------
Inside the palace, Xiao Ruofeng stood on a high platform, gazing at the crimson sky, his brows revealing deep worry and unease.
"Imperial Preceptor, have you calculated the origin of this celestial phenomenon?"
This strange phenomenon in the sky has lasted for ten days, not only shrouding the world in a bizarre red light, but also making people feel uneasy.
Despite the court's swift mobilization of manpower, increased vigilance, and efforts to appease the people, the persistent strange phenomena have only exacerbated the already tense situation.
If this situation continues, it will inevitably trigger greater panic among the people, and even chaos and unrest.
What worried Xiao Ruofeng even more was that he had a premonition that this strange phenomenon was likely related to his elder brother.
What is my brother doing?
Are we in danger?
Why would such a strange phenomenon occur?
These questions left Xiao Ruofeng's mind in a jumble, but he couldn't show them.
Now that Xiao Ruojin is not in court, Xiao Ruofeng, as the regent, is the pillar of Beili and the reliance of its people.
If he shows even the slightest sign of panic, it will only increase the anxiety and unease among the officials and the common people.
Therefore, no matter how worried he was, Xiao Ruofeng had to remain calm.
Qi Tianchen frowned, gently waving his whisk, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, this strange phenomenon is no small matter. It is likely that someone in the sky has cast an extremely powerful spell."
"In the heavens?" Xiao Ruofeng was astonished, a sense of absurdity rising in his heart: "Is the Imperial Preceptor saying that a battle has broken out in the heavens?"
Qi Tianchen nodded, his expression grave, and continued, "Beyond the Four Realms, beyond the heavens, this old Daoist suspects that His Majesty went there to meet those legendary extraterrestrial immortals..."
Xiao Ruofeng's heart sank suddenly. He instantly understood Qi Tianchen's unfinished words. His face turned pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Those immortals from beyond the realm are all exceptionally powerful. Even if my brother has profound cultivation, he can't fight against so many opponents. Wouldn't that be dangerous?
In his anxiety, Xiao Ruofeng suddenly had a flash of inspiration and instantly understood many things.
My elder brother wasn’t enthusiastic about martial arts before, but after his battle with that immortal twenty years ago, his personality changed drastically, and he developed an unprecedented passion for martial arts.
Perhaps it was from that time that the elder brother conceived the idea of sweeping away the heavens.
The reason his elder brother didn't tell him about this was probably to avoid making him worry.
After all, with his current level of cultivation, he was unable to provide any substantial help to the other party.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ruofeng was immediately overwhelmed with self-blame and regret.
At that moment, he felt utterly powerless!
Twenty years ago, an immortal descended to earth, but he was unable to help his brother, resulting in his brother being seriously injured; now, twenty years later, he is still unable to share even the slightest burden with his brother.
This feeling of powerlessness caused him immense pain.
Seeing Xiao Ruofeng's unwell expression, Qi Tianchen quickly offered words of comfort: "Your Highness need not worry too much. His Majesty has always been far-sighted, and he must have made thorough preparations for this ascent to heaven."
"The Imperial Advisor is right. My brother will surely return safely." Xiao Ruofeng forced a smile, but the worry in his eyes had not completely disappeared.
-------------------------------------
"So much time has passed, why hasn't Xiao Ruojin returned yet?" Nangong Chunshui looked up at the increasingly intense celestial phenomena before her and couldn't help but sigh.
Unexpectedly, no sooner had he finished speaking than...
A thunderclap suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
boom--
The thunder roared like the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart, deafeningly loud, and the entire Kunlun Mountains seemed to tremble.
Immediately afterwards, more lightning bolts appeared in the sky, like silver snakes dancing wildly, tearing through the blood-red sky.
The strange phenomena in the sky became even more bizarre and terrifying. The originally blood-red sky began to change color, gradually changing from bright red to deep purple, and then to pitch black.
Purple lightning bolts occasionally streaked through the black clouds, producing ear-piercing crackling sounds.
After an unknown amount of time, a blurry figure finally slowly fell from the huge vortex.
Nangong Chunshui stared intently, and when she realized that it was not Xiao Ruojin, her heart sank: Could it be that Xiao Ruojin's trip had failed?
Without hesitation, he channeled all his inner strength and struck the figure with a palm.
Unexpectedly, the figure did not react at all, neither dodging nor avoiding the blow, and then fell limply to the ground.
Nangong Chunshui rushed forward to check, only to find that the person had been dead for a long time, leaving only an empty shell.
Before he could recover from his shock, another figure fell into the vortex.
This time, he did not choose to take action directly, but instead observed carefully.
When he realized that it was also a corpse, he was filled with an indescribable shock.
"Were both of these people killed by Xiao Ruojin?" Nangong Chunshui anxiously looked up at the vortex, trying to peek at the situation in the sky through it, but ultimately found nothing.
He could only wait patiently, while secretly thinking to himself that none of his disciples were up to par; after so many years, not one of them had been able to break through to the Divine Travel Realm.
Otherwise, he could have fought his way up to the heavens with Xiao Ruojin and left them to guard the area below.
Just as Nangong Chunshui was cursing below, an unprecedentedly sharp sword aura suddenly burst forth in the sky, like a dragon roaring to the heavens, its sharpness fully revealed. Its power was so great that it seemed capable of severing the void and tearing the entire world apart.
