Chapter 479: Chapter 478: That Thing Is About to Appear

Sea of Seven Emotions Event Management Center

"This is a bit unexpected. The emotional absorption is already nearing saturation."

"So, we can proceed to the next step?"

"But we can’t locate the Sapphire. The array can no longer sense it, yet the emotional reception is still ongoing."

"For now, we can’t use other gems as a substitute. The emotion of love is dominant, and the emotions on the Sapphire are the purest, making it the easiest to lure out that thing."

The leader in the center frowned, then said, "That person has severed the connection between the Sapphire and the array. The gem is one-of-a-kind, with no backup. Even if we had one, it would be too late.

That person has either been consumed by the emotions and driven mad, or he’s able to control the Sapphire. He could use the gem to lure out that thing himself.

Although we can’t be sure if he even knows that thing exists, we must prepare for the worst."

"But what do we do now?" someone asked.

"Keep the array running, and do your best to fill the other six gems with emotions.

The person with the Sapphire might have already escaped.

If they haven’t, then our plan is still on track.

Now, dispatch all available hands to find that person. Once you find them, do not act rashly.

Try not to affect the event. Our plan is still underway, and disrupting the festivities could make all our efforts for naught.

"Move out," the Ghost Cultivator leader said.

"Yes, sir."

An Xi sat behind her stall, having also sensed the changes in the area.

She then said, "Alright, let’s rest. This place is about to descend into chaos."

Gu Jiansheng gave An Xi a puzzled look.

An Xi didn’t give him an answer, instead saying, "Stay by my side. Otherwise, you won’t be able to escape either."

Gu Jiansheng immediately said, "My apologies, Senior. If there’s danger here, I want to find Xiaoli first."

An Xi didn’t get angry. Instead, she asked, "The fox?"

Gu Jiansheng nodded.

"You must understand, without my protection, you won’t die, but you will likely lose your mind completely and become a walking corpse," An Xi said calmly, looking at Gu Jiansheng.

Gu Jiansheng cupped his hands. "Thank you for the warning, Senior."

Gu Jiansheng then turned and left. ’Since it’s so dangerous here, I have to find Xiaoli and get her out.’

Watching Gu Jiansheng leave, An Xi showed no reaction, merely murmuring, "Have humans become so stupid they’ve forgotten how to think? Does he not doubt the truth of the matter at all?

Foolish mortals."

Meanwhile, Chen Yi and the others were still eating hot pot.

Chi Xue Child and the others had emerged, and Mo Yan had even come to her senses.

Now that there was food, they certainly weren’t going to miss out.

It was mainly because Zhong Yiyang’s cooking was truly incredible.

Although Zhong Yiyang wasn’t an actual Immortal Kitchen, the dishes he made were no worse than those of one.

After all, he had been personally certified by Jiang Zuo.

Although Jiang Zuo couldn’t articulate why (he was completely inept at critiquing food), if he said something was delicious, it was definitely delicious.

"Those two were really something. Demon Cultivators are just a different breed, all bluster and no sense, rushing in without getting a clear read on their opponent," Liu Yiyi said while eating hot pot.

Mo Yan said, "It was just an accident. I was desperate at the moment. Otherwise, I think I still could have succeeded."

Liu Yiyi: "..."

The others were speechless as well. This person just never learned her lesson.

Just then, Liuyue Xue, who was playing on her phone, suddenly froze. She then showed her phone to Chi Xue Child, who was beside her.

Chi Xue Child glanced at it and said, "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao sent a message. He says to leave the Sea of Seven Emotions as soon as possible. The sooner, the better."

Xiao Xiaomo was stunned. "Boss Po Xiao is in the Sea of Seven Emotions?"

Mo Yan, who had been eating hot pot, suddenly froze, the food falling from her chopsticks.

Liu Yiyi said, "What’s wrong with you? Trying to scare someone again?"

Mo Yan gulped. "I just thought of a possibility."

Zhong Yiyang also said, "I thought of a possibility, too. And I’m sure it matches what Demon Cultivator Mo Yan has in mind."

"I’m doomed, I’m doomed! Am I going to be a dead woman?

I knew it! How could a normal person be that terrifying? All my escape routes were cut off, he was expressionless and barely spoke, and he completely stole the show. How could a normal person pull that off?" Mo Yan couldn’t sit still anymore. ’Does this count as me having taken a stroll through the Ghost Gate?

Will there be repercussions later?’

Liu Yiyi said, "Are you saying that passerby was Po Xiao?"

Zhong Yiyang said, "It’s very possible. The Dawn Blade Skill has long reached the level of Extraordinary to Saint. Such people are very rare, especially among Low-tier Cultivators."

Chen Yi said, "So you’re saying the other person was Po Xiao’s wife? But isn’t Po Xiao’s wife supposed to think he’s a normal person?"

Mo Yan frowned. "That’s right. And Po Xiao’s wife isn’t as tall as that other person was, nor is her Cultivation so outrageously high.

Right, that other person was terrifyingly strong, too. Unbelievably so. She just moved a needle and my Nightmare Space was nullified."

Then Mo Yan had a flash of insight. "I get it! I understand now! That person wasn’t Po Xiao’s wife, she’s the Holy Land Saintess!

Their Cultivation is similar, their height is similar, and even their auras are somewhat alike.

The reason they used a Divine Transformation Pill was to hide their identities. After all, one is a Saintess, and the other is the dao companion of another disciple from the Holy Land.

And Po Xiao obviously wasn’t using his full strength. He’s slowly trying to win over the Saintess.

Does that mean I’m safe, then?

I helped Po Xiao out, giving him a chance to look cool. And he burned my hair, which must have helped him capture the Saintess’s heart even more.

Boss Po Xiao’s schemes run so deep!"

Chi Xue Child: "..."

Liuyue Xue: "..."

The others: "..."

One had to admit, Mo Yan’s powers of imagination in this area were exceptionally strong.

But no one could confirm such a thing, and asking would be even more inappropriate.

If Mo Yan’s guess was wrong, that would be one thing. But if it were true, it would be quite the scandal. What if they decided to silence them to keep the secret?

SMACK!

Chi Xue Child slammed his hand on the table, nearly getting sidetracked by Mo Yan.

He immediately said, "We need to leave now. This isn’t the time for discussion."

Liu Yiyi asked, "Which way should we run?"

Chi Xue Child said, "Head inland. Let’s just get off the Seven Emotions Coast first."

Mo Yan opened her Nightmare Space and said, "One First-Grade Spirit Stone per person."

Chi Xue Child walked toward the Nightmare Space. "Let’s go. We have no time to waste."

Chi Xue Child and his group didn’t doubt Po Xiao. If he said something, then something was definitely about to happen here.

They understood that much, at least.

With Mo Yan’s help, they left quickly.

Meanwhile, Jiang Zuo stood by the sea. He had moved away from the crowd; getting too close held no benefit for him.

As for the people who had been looking for him, it was a pity for them. Jiang Zuo didn’t want to be found, so they had absolutely no chance of finding him.

Jiang Zuo looked out at the surface of the sea. He noticed a faint purple glow beginning to appear on the water.

Jiang Zuo watched the purple light. He wasn’t familiar with it, but he knew that its source was now heading in his direction.

The light, originally dim, grew brighter and brighter.

It seemed something was getting closer.
