The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 495 - 224: Heavenly Punishment, No Promotion_2

"What can we do? Red Frog seemed to stay out of the war, but they are inflating prices behind the scenes and have made loads of dirty money from it," Huo Xin scoffed at Yu Yu before answering.

"I’ve heard that Emperor Tang’s ruins are about to open. Blue Frog and Grass Frog Country seem to be acting like they are preparing to withdraw their troops," Tan Ziping furrowed his brows and muttered to himself.

"Who knows, there might be a temporary period of peace,"

At first, Huo Xin nodded, then shook his head, finally saying helplessly:

"The Shadow Alliance has Bai Qin, Lin, Ying Xiu, the Stealing Fire has the Captain, Vice Dean Sun Lin, Ren, Sand sculpture, and even GuaGua has now advanced. We’re definitely safe."

"However... As long as ’he’ hasn’t come out yet, we can’t influence the overall situation between the three countries. We can only keep a low profile and continue to grow."

Everyone who was enjoying their drinks suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Tan Ziping sighed and lamented:

"It’s strange, Master Han’s promotions were so fast in the previous stages, why is he stuck at the 3rd Order."

"It cannot be helped, he is not only ’Master Han’ but also the ’White Crow’,"

Huo Xin shrugged his shoulders, "Vice Dean Sun also mentioned that double roles have their advantages and disadvantages. This is probably one of the disadvantages, hindering Master Han’s breakthrough."

"However... I still think it’s only a matter of time."

"Master Han is not the kind of person who would be defeated by difficulties. The 4th Order is definitely within his reach."

Just as he finished murmuring,

A sudden thunderbolt struck, the sky, filled with falling snowflakes, instantly lost its order.

"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!"

"Flutter! Flutter! Flutter!"

Hundreds of circling birds became chaotic.

Without a cloud cover, without a sign, out of nowhere a thunderbolt emerged, how could it not be shocking and fearsome?

Lightning is the Uncrowned King among all elements, and also the most feared destructive power in nature!

"Boom!"

A whirlpool suddenly appeared in the sky, like a boiling kettle.

All the falling snow melted instantly, even the rainwater didn’t have time to transform and was instantly evaporated.

But the cold didn’t fade away. Huo Xin, Tan Ziping, Yu Yu, Yan Xuehui, and Dong Feng suddenly got up.

The stabbing sensation in their brows and the chill creeping throughout their body were fueling their fear. Their relaxed demeanor disappeared, their faces completely filled with shock and astonishment.

"What happened? Why is this terrifying lighting appearing out of nowhere?!"

"Swoosh!"

Snow-covered land, the Goose Immortal opened its eyes, swept away the snow with its iron wings, and re-emerged.

It stood on the ground, its long neck straightened.

Its bell-sized eyes were fixed on the changing sky.

Surprise, shock, and fear briefly appeared on its face, then were replaced by uncontrollable excitement.

"An unusual occurrence from the heavens..."

"It’s not happening anywhere else, only concentrated in these mountains..."

"There are only a few life forms with special bloodlines in this mountain, and such a grand phenomenon must be him..."

"Boom!"

The second thunderbolt struck, still deep blue, full of extreme profundity and mystery.

The Goose Immortal’s excitement suddenly ceased, its sudden change of expression caused its mood to flip again:

"No, it’s more than just a phenomenon! This is real lightning! It has materialized!"

"Notify everyone! All people! All beasts! Leave this mountain immediately! Do not be greedy for the money left behind, a bit of greed may turn you into a burial object!"

The Goose Immortal used all its strength to shout loudly.

Its voice transformed into sound waves, rippling towards the distance.

The chaotic birds, and the dumfounded humans... seemed to have found their backbone, reluctantly regaining a trace of sanity from their fear and shock.

They fled frantically, exerting all their strength to run towards the mountain’s perimeter.

"Roar!" "Howl!"

There were also countless wild Fond Spirits in the mountains.

They may not understand the human language of the Goose Immortal, but the innate fear seeped into their flesh and soul, and they abandoned their nests and ran in herds.

"Boom!"

The third thunderbolt struck, even broader and fiercer.

For a moment, the pale sky was pierced by the lightning, lighting up the entire mountain top with a brilliance that not even the full sun could match.

"Master, there’s a sudden change on Stealing Fire Mountain!"

Fifty miles away, in the Ghost Lotus Waterfall, a group of black-robed people knelt on the ground, not daring to look up.

Lin Pingfan lost his composure as he looked up at the sky in the distance, his face taut, his pupils contracted to their limit.

Lightning - the most restraining entity for ghosts and demons!

Being the ’Ghost Refining Master’, contract holder of ’Gluttony Ghost’, he suppresses ghosts, but he still can’t be free from the control of the Thunder Element!

"Such terrifying lightning, striking down straight, turning the rocks on the mountain top into dust..."

"Could this be a sign of Master Han’s ascent? But isn’t he the controller of the Dark Element, how can there be Thunder Element?!"

Lin Pingfan was bewildered, a visible awe appeared on his face.

"The clouds are gathering, the Sea of Thunder is expanding, and our current location is not safe."

"Order everyone, activate the emergency plan, flee to the underground, prioritize life!"

Bai Qin stood next to Lin Pingfan, witnessing the shaking of the Corpse Stench Demon Tubers in the distance, even though they were at the Life Wheel stage. She took a deep breath and decisively issued orders.

"Yes!"

Ying An and Ying Ming immediately carried out the order.
