Chapter 483 - 482: Why Don’t You Look Behind You?

Chapter 483: Chapter 482: Why Don’t You Look Behind You?

Jiang Zuo paid no mind to the events in the sky. If that whale were to come after him, he would simply get out of its way beforehand.

Right now, his focus was on dealing with this little girl.

The little girl watched as this person drew closer and closer, completely unharmed. It reminded her of something from a long, long time ago.

She had no conscious memory of it, but her body remembered someone—a person who had approached her in the very same way.

That person would kill her.

The memory was hazy. It felt like it belonged to her, yet at the same time, it didn’t.

But the fear was real.

Moreover, her previously infallible attacks were completely useless against this man.

A sense of danger made her instinctively retreat.

But Jiang Zuo pressed forward, step by step, forcing the little girl to turn and flee.

"AHHHHHH!"

The little girl ran through the water. She had to go back, back to that place, and stay there.

As the little girl fled, a vortex suddenly appeared in the water.

The moment he saw the vortex, Jiang Zuo froze.

’A Teleportation Array?’

This wasn’t a simple Teleportation Array. It was an area-of-effect teleportation.

’It’s over.’

The instant the thought crossed Jiang Zuo’s mind, the entire surrounding space was being pulled in by the vortex.

Everything here was about to be teleported.

Jiang Zuo knew he couldn’t escape.

With his current strength, he wasn’t powerful enough to resist the spatial pull. This had nothing to do with experience.

It was purely a matter of insufficient power.

However, Jiang Zuo didn’t panic. Although this development was unexpected, it was still within the realm of reason.

’The Ghost Cultivators went to so much trouble, yet they still haven’t shown themselves. They must be after something.’

’It seems their goal was this Teleportation Array all along.’

’Since the Ghost Cultivators want to go inside, the danger in there probably isn’t too great.’

He just had to take care of everything inside and return to the coast before Su Qi got back.

As for the people on the coast, they shouldn’t be in too much trouble either.

They would suffer a bit, but with the effects of the Divine Transformation Pills, the chaotic emotions would be constantly neutralized.

It all depended on how long that whale decided to stick around.

The Divine Transformation Pill truly was a treasure for matchmaking. It neutralized emotions, keeping a person in a good state of mind. Sometimes, it would even absorb love, making one feel a slight yearning for romance.

This was how it guaranteed a high success rate for blind dates.

And with so many Divine Transformation Pills, they could, just barely, neutralize the chaotic emotions.

Jiang Zuo had to admit the Divine Transformation Pill had its value. He just wondered what matchmaking organization invented it.

’Fate, it truly works in mysterious ways.’

But this matter was more man-made than fated.

’That Daoist must have had a pang of conscience. He knew his appearance would bring disaster and misfortune here, so he made preparations in advance.’

At this point, Jiang Zuo had no more time to think. The teleportation began.

「Back at the Sea of Seven Emotions management office」

When the teleportation began, the Ghost Cultivators were so happy they could have laughed out loud.

’The gamble paid off.’

Although it deviated slightly from the plan, the plan had ultimately taken a major step forward.

"Get ready to teleport. Remember, if it’s a random teleport, split up and act individually."

"Whoever gets the item, immediately activate the master’s teleportation to leave," the Ghost Cultivator leader ordered.

"Understood."

The Ghost Cultivator leader commanded, "Link to the teleportation data. Enter."

"Connecting..."

"Connection successful."

"Initiating teleportation..."

A flash of light later, the five people on the Teleportation Array vanished.

Those left behind, however, still had to endure the whale’s oppressive might.

If there was one thing that hadn’t gone according to plan, it was that the whale showed no signs of leaving.

Another was that, for the time being, there were no casualties.

「Far away」

Chi Xue Child and the others also saw the whale.

"Holy crap, I feel like we would’ve died if we’d stayed. That thing looks incredibly ominous," Mo Yan shouted.

Chi Xue Child nodded. "Yeah. I can sense chaotic emotions from that whale. If we got any closer, we could easily lose ourselves. It’s definitely dangerous."

Liuyue Xue took out her phone and typed: *What do we do now?*

Liu Yiyi said, "I’ve notified some people. We’ll have to see how they handle it. But given the current situation, I don’t think anyone less than a Tier Seven can resolve this."

Chen Yi asked, "What tier do you think that whale is?"

Chi Xue Child replied, "A conservative estimate would be Tier Six Peak. But there’s something special about it. I doubt anyone at Tier Six could be its match."

Mo Yan said, "Enough talk! Let’s get farther away. It would be bad if it finishes wrecking that place and comes after us."

Mo Yan had a good point. At this point, they could only rely on others to solve the problem. Their group wasn’t strong enough.

"By the way, I heard this is the Joyful Union Sect’s territory. Why hasn’t anyone from their sect come out to deal with this?" Zhong Yiyang asked.

Chi Xue Child said, "I’ve looked into the Joyful Union Sect. Their strongest members seem to be only at Tier Five Peak, or maybe early Tier Six. So even if they did show up, they probably couldn’t solve the problem."

Xiao Xiaomo sighed. "I don’t know why, but even though Tier Five is supposed to be a senior level, it feels completely inadequate now. With all the things happening lately, you can’t even make a blip on the radar without being Tier Six or Tier Seven."

Tier Six was one thing, but Tier Seven cultivators were rare.

The Sword Cultivation Lineage only had a few Tier Sevens, and most of them were already dead.

One who had reached Entering Dao had even died. The Sword Cultivation Lineage had truly suffered a great loss of Vitality.

As for their hidden reserves, you wouldn’t see them even once in a millennium. No one even knew if those ancient experts were still alive.

"We should still count on Boss Po Xiao. Speaking of which, I haven’t seen any explosions this time. Don’t tell me Boss Po Xiao has gone soft?" Demon Cultivator Mo Yan said.

She was now leading the way, running at the front of the group.

Right now, she was the fastest among them.

If conditions allowed, she would have opened her Nightmare Space to escape long ago. But the consumption was too great, and she couldn’t sustain it.

Liuyue Xue shook her head and started typing on her phone.

But she stopped halfway through.

She realized no one was watching her type.

"..."

But she didn’t feel like talking. ’It would be great if these people had a Mind Reading Technique.’

’Speaking of which, I should learn Secret Transmission.’

’Maybe then I’d actually enjoy talking.’

Xiao Xiaomo said, "I can’t get in touch with Boss Po Xiao. I’m not sure what happened. Or maybe it has something to do with Passerby B?"

Chi Xue Child said, "You really think that woman was Saintess Jingyue?"

Demon Cultivator Mo Yan retorted, unconvinced, "And why not? My reasoning is perfectly logical."

At that moment, Liuyue Xue started typing again.

But before she could finish, Chi Xue Child said, "Liuyue Xue had someone ask. Saintess Jingyue of the Yue Lian Holy Land has been in the Holy Land the whole time. She hasn’t left."

Mo Yan scoffed. "Just pop a Divine Transformation Pill and have someone pretend to be her. Easy."

Just then, Yang Mu said, "Have you guys considered that Passerby A might not be Boss Po Xiao? Also, why don’t you look behind you? There might be a surprise."

Everyone froze for a second, then glanced behind them.

That one glance made Mo Yan leap to her feet and activate her Nightmare Space.

"Quick, quick! If I have to open this two more times, you’ll all have to carry me. And don’t forget to pay me in Spirit Stones!" Mo Yan yelled.

If she didn’t use the Nightmare Space to escape now, they might not get away at all.

Because they saw that the giant whale was actually heading straight for them.

Whether it was just passing by or coming for them, no one could be sure.

But they definitely didn’t dare to stick around.

If it really was coming for them, Mo Yan could genuinely arrange a group discount on coffins.

After the whale flew away, the entire Seven Emotions Coast was finally free from the immense pressure, and everyone could move again.

However, under the influence of the chaotic emotions, many people were still not in their right minds.

Fortunately, the collective effect of the Divine Transformation Pills was still active, which kept their conditions from worsening.

At that moment, a Ghost Cultivator approached Yin Zhentian and asked, "Are you okay? Keep playing the Demon Sound Thousandfold Harmony. Our event has to continue, or it’s hard to say what might happen."
