What… what was that?
The entire Sima clan looked like they were fished out from a pond, they were all soaking wet.
What a scary aura ….
Everyone struggled to get up, but only a few managed to stand up without their legs giving out.
Even though Sima You Yue was standing at the side, she still felt tremors going through her body and it shook her to her core.
Everyone at Dragon Reflection Town fell on the ground too. They were terrified, they didn’t know what what happened.
Old Man Devil and Wu Lingyu weren’t far off, and when they felt the tremor, they flew over and when they saw Sima You Yue by the lake, unharmed, they breathed a sigh of relief.
She pointed at the lake and said,
It came from there.
Wasn’t everything alright? How did this happen?
asked Wu Lingyu.
Old man, be careful down there.
Wu Lingyu said as he too felt the immense power just now.
Do I look like someone who’d die easily? You rascal! Don’t curse me!
scolded Old Man Devil.
Master, be careful!
Sima You Yue said.
Indeed. This creature may be strong but it can’t kill me.
With that, Old Man Devil hugged his knees and jumped into the lake.
I’m going back to the Holy Capital, you coming?
asked Wu Lingyu.
Sima You Yue shook her head.
I’ll inform you when things at the Holy Capital stabilise.
said Wu Lingyu.
He took out a piece of mother stone, split it in half and gave half to Sima You Yue.
Okay.
Sima You Yue said as she took the stone.
I’m going, take care of yourself.
Wu Lingyu took one final look at Sima You Yue and flew off.
The Sima clan had just started to recover from their shock and when they saw the once again peaceful lake, they all asked
What’s in the lake?
Sima You Yue told them about Old Man Devil and her suspicions, and that she guessed that the tremors from Ten Thousand Beast Mountain was caused by the beasts.
When everyone heard the news they were astonished, but because they knew what happened on Forgotten Worry Island, they took this in rather quickly.
So you’re saying, this place is too dangerous.
Sima You Yang frowned,
Should we shift to another place or just retreat for now?
I don’t think there’s a need.
said Sima You Ran,
Since that place is suppressing that beast, that means this is the centre of the spell, this should be the safest.
I agree.
said Sima You Lin,
After so many years it hasn’t appeared, if we stay here just temporarily, there shouldn’t be a problem.
Me too, I’m too lazy to move, hearing what Jade said, this chaos should roll over in a few days.
After discussing, the Sima clan still decided to stay, they went about their own business as usual, just this time, they were more fearful than usual.
The second day, the people from Dragon Reflection Town came streaming over, they wanted to know what happened, what had caused yesterday’s tremor.
Everything’s fine?
Someone asked, still doubtful.
Everything should be fine. If not, how could they even come here?
That immense burst of energy yesterday was terrifying, it pierced my soul.
It was too frightening, when I think of it, I still tremble.
My legs are jelly too.
But they seem pretty unaffected?
They didn’t feel that tremor?
Why don’t you go ask them them?
Right, let’s ask.
One of them really went to ask the Sima clan, but the Sima clan claimed that they weren’t here yesterday night, they just arrived early this morning, they didn’t know what was going on.
See, I already said if they really experienced that tremor then they wouldn’t be going around their business like usual.
We still don’t know what happened last night.
But I heard some rumours going around, that there’s some beast being held under the mountain and it was the one that gave out that sudden burst of immense energy.
Are you for real?
If that’s true, then aren’t we in danger? That blow yesterday was definitely more than what those at the peak of those in the realm of the Spirit Paragons could take, I think only those at least of the divine rank are able to handle it .
I don’t think it stops there.
Someone disagreed,
Once when I was at West Moon
Kingdom, I felt an aura from beast that had surpassed the divine rank at Three Waters City , it was definitely much weaker than yesterday’s.
Are you saying that it surpassed the divine rank?
Why do we have so many strong creatures in this continent?
Who knows!
Sigh, let’s just go, there’s not much use staying here.
Sima You Yue and the rest overheard their conversation as they were eating, not expecting someone to come up with a correct theory about the entire thing.
But she didn’t want to offer any sort of opinion about it, lest some got terrified of the truth.
Seeing that they’d already gone, Bei Gong Tang tore a chunk of roasted meat and ate.
You Yue, what happened yesterday? You looked really angry.
By this time, Sima You Yue had calmed down, and after taking a ferocious bite of her drumstick, she then told Bei Gong Tang how she got the Blood Ring.
The people that were listening to her were astounded, if any ordinary person were to be offered something like that, they’d smile themselves to sleep, not fume and brood all day.
Wei Zi Qi and the others understood where she was coming from, because they knew that she was used to being lazy, but they still teased
We rarely ever see you so angry! I realized that ever since you met Master, you always end up stomping away in anger.
He was talking about the time when Sima You Yue saw Wu Lingyu, she ended up fighting him. At that time, she even brought him over for everyone to see and laugh at.
Sima You Yue laughed and changed the topic, and asked
What has the Nalan clan done this whole while? I didn’t see them appear at all.
What could they have, they were just like the rest of us, hunting for beasts to spar with!
said Sima You Yang,
Of all the times we met, we didn’t have any major clashes.
I heard that the Huo clan is coming over in two days.
said Sima You Qing.
Sima You Qing and Sima You Yue were going to Dragon Reflection Town to look for Miss Jade, when they heard someone mention it.
The Huo clan?
When Sima You Yue heard that name, she thought of when she was at the Huo siblings’ place, they ruthlessly slapped each other.
Aside from Huo clan, the other clans are coming too. I think they estimated the end of the tremors from Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.
said Sima You Lan.
Then we ….
Sima You Yue wasn’t even finished with her sentence when her train of thoughts were disrupted by the mother stone. It suddenly appeared in her hand,and it started glowing.
She gathered her spirit energy, and Wu Lingyu’s voice came from the upper realms
The spirit beasts have retreated, if nothing happens, in two days we will close the gates.
