Chapter 142: The Flames of Calamity Ignite
Although the officials of Guling Commandery had worked tirelessly to repair the damaged earth veins, repeated eruptions had finally pushed them beyond the point of recovery.
This time, the phenomenon before everyone's eyes was no longer the towering columns of smoke that had previously burst from the earth.
Instead, an enormous black mushroom cloud exploded into the sky, blotting out the heavens. It expanded with unstoppable destructive force, sweeping outward in every direction like a world-ending tide.
Yin Fengshuo's expression changed dramatically.
He immediately turned toward Lu Hanmo, cupped his fists, and urgently pleaded, "The situation is extremely critical. The people of the commandery are in mortal danger. I ask that Lord Lu grant me permission to suppress this disaster first. Once the crisis has been resolved, I shall accompany you without delay."
"Furthermore, the situation has already exceeded our ability to control. Please notify the Imperial Court immediately and request reinforcements from powerful cultivators. If the villains of the Jun Clan continue destroying the earth veins unchecked, this disaster will inevitably grow into an overwhelming catastrophe beyond anyone's ability to contain!"
Lu Hanmo's expression was equally grave as he gazed toward the advancing sea of black clouds.
After a moment of silence, he nodded.
"I will accompany Lord Yin."
