Chapter 859: Calamity (IV)
Lake Xian.
Li Qinghong rode the wind fifty kilometers out. The black smoke before her gradually faded, but the sky remained heavy and rolled with gray clouds. The sky was the same gray on both the north and south sides of the lake, dimly hiding the sun.
She flew for a while, and somehow her mind turned again to those two, and she pondered in secret, So it seems at least Crimson Reef Island has been offended. The east and west reefs of Crimson Reef Island have not gotten along in recent years. I don’t know whether Guo Hongjian’s faction is east or west, or if there’s any room to maneuver.
As for Yu Jiang, judging from Guo Hongjian’s attitude, he’s also a powerful figure in the Southern Sea...
As she flew south, she also realized it would be impossible to return to Mount Bianyan, and she felt a sense of relief, That’s fine too. There’s no need to follow their orders... I’ll just return to the riverbank and help guard the lakeshore for my family...
The devil cultivators were already pressed up to the riverbank. She no longer had the heart to deal with that group on Mount Bianyan. Like Li Xizhi, she just wanted to hide as far away as possible.
Turning a corner of Lake Xian, she glimpsed the radiance overflowing from Profound Peak Gate’s Shanji Prefecture. Light flowed in all directions. When she approached, she could faintly see a towering, majestic mountain suspended above Shanji Prefecture.
The mountain loomed vaguely in the clouds, emanating a hazy glow. She could feel her body growing heavier as she drew closer to Shanji Prefecture. She looked up thoughtfully and thought, It must be a Purple Mansion Realm divine ability.
Such power could only belong to Daoist Master Changxi of Profound Peak Gate. Only then did she understand why the demonic mist had stopped at Lake Xian and why the devil cultivators had not crossed into Jiangnan.
