Chapter 254 - 223: Severing Ties
In the distant horizon, an enormous figure descended from the heavens. It was neither human nor ghost, with three heads and six arms, its appearance grotesque to the extreme. This entity loomed over the entirety of Yu Yong City, as if gazing disdainfully at this insignificant county town.
The heavens and earth abruptly fell into a bizarre anomaly; darkness enveloped the sky. Fear spread like wildfire, and the citizens of Yu Yong City scattered like startled birds and beasts, frantically fighting to flee the city. Within moments, the entire city resembled an empty shell. The teahouse, after an initial tremor, returned to eerie stillness, devoid of a single soul.
The monk from the West furrowed his brow and said:
"An external manifestation of the Heart Demon... the methods of the Taoist sects."
The white-clad female crown was displeased upon hearing this and mumbled:
"Buddhism has its share of such things too."
Yin Tingxue and Dong Gong Ruoshu were witnessing such a scene for the very first time. As the pressing demonic figure approached, the two women became restless and uneasy in their seats. Chen Yi gently grasped Yin Tingxue’s hand and entrusted her to the female crown.
"Protect them well."
As Chen Yi spoke, he naturally included Dong Gong Ruoshu in his words.
Yin Weiyin nodded slightly without responding to Chen Yi’s command. She then led the two women downstairs. Chen Yi gazed into the distance at the approaching demonic figure, feeling its overwhelming intent to kill.
"Chen Yi."
The sinister voice of the demon reverberated from outside Yu Yong City, pressing directly into Chen Yi’s ears.
