Chapter 297: The herd of Divine Beasts arrive
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
This was the question in everyone’s heart.
Because they were at tension with the Alchemist Guild, they had been guarding against Li Mu and the others ever since they came over. They never stopped focusing on them, but they didn’t catch them doing anything.
“I’m guessing that they should have scattered it on their bodies.” Sima You Yue said.
“But if that’s the case, wouldn’t they be attacked as well?” Sima You Lan didn’t understand.
“But where are they now?” Sima You Yue threw a question back at her.
“They’ve returned to Dragon Reflection Town.” Sima You Lan said. Then, she got it, “There’s a protection array at Dragon Reflection Town. Once they see a huge herd of spirit beasts approaching, Dragon City’s men will definitely turn the array on. Since they’re inside, nothing will happen to them.”
“Not bad.” Sima You Yue nodded, “Once tomorrow morning comes, the Deception Lily Fragrance on their bodies will be gone. There will be no problem for them to continue coming out.”
“These alchemists… each and every single one of them is too vicious!” Sima You Qing spat.
“No problem, we will definitely return whatever they have done today!” Sima You Yue smiled coldly.
Those that plot against her better be prepared for her revenge!
“Then what do we do now?” Sima You Lin furrowed his eyebrows.
“We haven’t used this array since it was last laid down. We’ll be able to see its power tonight.” Sima You Yue said with confidence.
This array was one that she had learnt from Sima Lin. It was not a single bit weaker than the array Dragon Reflection Town used.
When they heard her say this, the Sima Clansmen all relaxed.
Sima You Lin looked at her and saw the confident look on her face. He sighed, thinking that she was someone who really managed to let others feel safe without even trying. She gave others confidence.
So everyone just continued on as they did before, as if nothing had happened.
A silhouette retreated from the mountain and ran towards Dragon Mountain. Sima You Yue looked towards that direction and her mouth curved upwards slightly as her eyes flashed with cold light.
Dragon Reflection Town. Li Mu obtained the information that Sima You Yue and the others did not detect the issue with the Deceptive Lily Fragrance and did not depart from the lake.
“Hmph, when night comes, we’ll see who can save them!” Lu Mu laughed as he said.
Red Cloud stood beside them, saying, “Brother Li Mu, if the younger generation of the Sima Clan all die here, will the Sima Clan come and make trouble for us?”
“What are you afraid of!” Li Mu was not worried at all as he said, “Who even knows that we did it? The Deceptive Lily Fragrance was dissipate tomorrow morning, and no one will be able to find any clues. Furthermore, will they still be able to remain as a first ranked power if they don’t have any Sima Clansmen of the younger generation? Don’t forget, we’re also of the Alchemist Guild. Who dares to make trouble for us?”
“Brother is right.” Wu Feng flattered.
“Then we’ll just wait for the games to begin tonight!” Red Cloud threw her worries aside and said with a smile.
“Mm. Let’s go and notify the city elder first to let them prepare to activate the array. Otherwise, we’d be implicated as well.” Li Mu instructed.
“Yes, brother.”
Someone ran outside, as if he was going to notify the city elder. However, they naturally would not tell them that it was because they had scattered the Deceptive Lily Fragrance. They merely said that they had obtained a bit of information that told them the divine beasts around Saint City were heading for this direction.
The City Lord was a bit doubtful. Hadn’t the spirit beast’s activities already passed? Why would they still want to attack this place?
However, his doubts were merely doubts. He still sent men to go to the mountain to observe the situation there. If any Divine Beasts headed over, they would immediately activate the array.
When night came, Sima You Yue and the others appeared to be playing around the lake, causing those men, who were sent by Li Mu to observe the situation here, to relax.
They really were worried that the Sima Clansmen would feel something amiss halfway and head back to the Dragon Reflection Town. If that happened, they would have wasted their efforts today.
Sima You Yue was currently getting Fatty Qu to create a spirit tool that would help her roast things. She wanted one that didn’t require electricity and only spiritual qi to move. Although Fatty Qu appeared quite dumb, he was an exceptional talent at creating weaponry and the like. After Sima You Yue explained the use of the oven, he could figure out how to create it.
Of course, he had spent a few days before thinking how to create a roasting tool. He took advantage of the free time today to fulfill everyone’s request and construct the tool in front of them.
When the Sima Clansmen first heard they could see him craft, they were all extremely excited. However, when they found out he was going to create a oven for Sima You Yue, they were stunned. This guy really deserved a beating. Was a talent really supposed to be used in this way?!
After thinking about it, everyone still ran over to watch him.
Sima You Yue had never seen him craft a tool before. She always just told Fatty Qu what she wanted him to craft, and he would give her the finished product. It was the first time she really carefully watched him.
Suddenly, she cast her gaze to the mountain top, saying, “they’re here.”
Everyone knew what they were talking about. The herd was coming.
“Roar-”
“Screech-”
A herd of divine spirit beasts charged down from the mountain through the sunset. Their eyes were extremely crazed, as if they had received some form of stimulant.
“So many!” Everyone was dumbstruck when they saw the numerous divine beasts.
“There’s none when they don’t come, but there’s a lot when they do come!” Everyone was stunned.
“What’s going on? Why are they all coming together?”
“Since the effects of the Deceptive Lily Fragrance are most potent at night, the spirit beasts who smelled it during the day were still able to control themselves. However, once night came, they were no longer able to control themselves.” Sima You Yue explained while inserting her spirit power into the ground. The array activated and enveloped everyone inside.
The men that the City Lord sent out saw the herd of divine spirit beasts charging towards this area and shouted from the mountain, “Spirit beasts are coming, activate the protection array, the most powerful one!”
The City Lord did not go to cultivate this night, and kept waiting on the situation outside. Once he heard the voices of those on the mountain, he immediately ordered the array masters, “Quickly activate the great array!”
His voice carried to the eight different corners of the city, as the eight spirit lords immediately acted. They immediately inserted their spiritual qi into a rock in the ground, activating the array immediately. A few areas started to give off blinding white rays of light as the sky ripped with the light, enveloping the entire of Dragon Reflection Town.
“What’s going on?”
“Did something happen?”
“Why did we activate the array?”
“There’s a huge divine beast tide!” Someone shouted from the mountain again, to let those who just awoke understand the current situation.
Many people flew to the mountain top to look at the situation outside. They all were immediately cross eyed when they saw herd after herd of spirit beasts charing towards here.
“Heavens, wasn’t the spirit beast movement already over? Even if the ten thousand beast mountain isn’t safe at night, there shouldn’t be that many divine beasts!”
“Oh no, the Sima Clansmen are still outside!”
“There’s no choice. Once the array activates, nobody can enter or leave. There is no way for them to enter anymore!”
“Then aren’t they in danger?”
“Brother You Lin is still outside! Father, save them!” Huo Zi Jiao cried anxiously.
“It’s too late. The array has already activated. Unless we deactivate the array, there is no way for me to go out.”
“Then what can we do!” Huo Zi Jiao sounded like she was about to cry.
“It’s up to the heavens now!”
“There are so many divine beasts outside, and many are of the rank of spirit paragon. It will be so hard for them to escape!” The men from the Alchemist Guild said weirdly.
This echoed the sentiments of everyone on site.
“No, they will be fine. Look!” Someone called out as they pointed down below.
