Chapter 357: The Wind Rises (I)
An immortal cultivator? Or a Martial Innate realm martial artist?
Lin Zheyu stood atop Soaring Serpent Mountain, watching the figure vanish into the horizon as thoughts flickered through his mind. This was the first time he had seen a powerful expert capable of flying through the sky. Even Grandmaster realm experts could not truly fly. They could only rely on explosive force and true strength to launch themselves upward and linger briefly in midair. Actual flight, however, was impossible for them.
The speed was incredible. It definitely surpassed the speed of sound. I wonder if a martial artist can truly soar through the air after breaking into the Martial Innate realm.
From the mountain forest came continuous roars of beasts and the rumbling tremors of stampeding creatures. The sinister aura erupting from the space-time node grew increasingly dense. Even though Soaring Serpent Mountain lay over a hundred kilometers away, Lin Zheyu still felt a suffocating oppression weighing upon him, as if a shadow had settled over his heart and made it hard to breathe.
Another one. It seems the situation is quite serious!
Lin Zheyu narrowed his eyes and saw yet another figure streak across the sky. The person was far from Soaring Serpent Mountain. He could only vaguely make out that it was a woman. Her speed was astonishing, and she vanished in an instant. If Lin Zheyu's strength and perception had not improved so much recently, he might not have detected her at all.
Time slowly passed, and dusk deepened. The dense darkness in the distant sky did not fade. Instead, it grew heavier. However, Lin Zheyu noticed that it no longer seemed to be spreading.
Has the situation been contained? Lin Zheyu wondered to himself.
He descended from the summit and returned to the mountainside. Night gradually fell. After observing for so long during the day without discovering anything noteworthy, there was even less to see at night. On the plaza, Gu Ye stood atop a massive rock by the cliff's edge. A gentle breeze stirred, causing her robes to flutter sharply.
"Senior Sister, has the situation at the foot of the mountain been brought under control?"
