Chapter 667: The Thunder Department's Darkest Night!
On the fringes of the Thunder Department, deep within the mountains…
Because of the recent disaster and ensuing shortage of manpower, this region was left unguarded, allowing all sorts of shadows and ghastly beings to infiltrate the Thunder Department, hiding out in the wilderness.
Suddenly, two figures clad in splendid armor appeared in the ravine. They were none other than the Flame Virtue General and Aqua Admiral, Zhu Shenlu and Yu Shiling.
"Wind Fiend, Greenchild," Yu Shiling called softly into the breeze. Her voice carried on the wind, and soon the canyon's air swirled into a frenzy, twisting into a tornado that howled with the cries of countless aggrieved spirits.
What seemed merely a gust bore the weight of a sinful world, a vortex of vindictive spirits that draped the sprawling mountains in a veil of mortal sorrow.
Out of this relentless whirlwind materialized a woman in red, her long hair trailing on the ground, her skin ghostly pale, her eyes seemingly blinded by tears. She appeared so frail as if a mere breath of air might scatter her into oblivion.
Zhu Shenlu and Yu Shiling, witnessing the pain that clung to her form, hesitated to draw near.
Before a word could pass between them, the earth of the deep mountain valley trembled, splitting open into an abyss from which a colossal green leech writhed.
Though obscured by a thick mist, its body was covered in suckers, each tipped with barbs that threatened to latch onto flesh and never let go.
