Chapter 576: Five hundred seventy-six, when it rains it pours
Swoosh!
Just as all the disciples of the Jade Pot Sect were losing hope, an unusual sound suddenly came from where Yun Xiao and Yao Shi were, followed by a streak of black light appearing in their eyes.
"That... That is..."
In such a moment of despair, any change was undoubtedly a glimmer of hope, especially for the many disciples of the Jade Pot Sect, and when they saw that swirling black garment, they felt a faint sense of familiarity.
"Is this... the Jinghong Umbrella?!"
Compared to those younger disciples of the Jade Pot Sect, Yun Xiao was much more familiar with this black light. Even though the black umbrella spun rapidly, he recognized its details with just a glance.
After recognizing that it was the Jinghong Umbrella, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but reveal a very strange look in his eyes, suddenly recalling the first time he saw the Jinghong Umbrella in a mountain range within the Lingtian Empire.
At that time, Yun Xiao was being pursued by the Great Elder of the Lingyun Sect, Yu Qian, and was blocked by the Crown Prince of the Lingyun Sect, Nie Qianqiu, with Ran Xing. When he was in despair, it was this sudden appearance of the black umbrella that pierced Yu Qian through the heart, saving his life.
But what happened afterward was beyond Yun Xiao’s expectations. The black-garbed woman, Shen Xingmou, who wielded the Jinghong Umbrella to save his life, only did so because she didn’t want him to die at the hands of another, and turned out to be yet another immensely powerful enemy of his.
The moment he saw the Jinghong Umbrella, for some reason, Yun Xiao suddenly had the notion that the Qingshan Sect’s Second Elder, Yao Shi, who was out for his life, was about to run into bad luck.
Thud!
Sure enough, as Yun Xiao had predicted, before the Elder of the Qingshan Sect even realized what the object was, the Jinghong Umbrella moved without wind, its surface suddenly snapping shut, and then the tip shifted sideways, penetrating Yao Shi’s chest at an incredible speed and drilling out from his back.
