Chapter 314 - 191: The Truth of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty and the Dream, Despair and Hope, The One Who Returns from Darkness
Shua...
In the pitch-black rainy night, a strange-looking vehicle braved the storm, crashing through the villa’s gate and roaring into the courtyard.
Huge wheels rolled across the puddles, crushing the soaked talismans on the ground, stopping at the villa’s entrance.
The vehicle looked overly square, like a massive copper box, mounted on four enormous wheels, with no front or back, having no consideration for aerodynamics.
The door opened, and Flying Legs, Star Belly, and Black Gloves, three foxes wearing invisibility cloaks, jumped out, strutting into the villa.
They were under orders from their master to pick up someone!
...
A few kilometers away, towering buildings rose against the vast wind and rain.
The rooftop platform was illuminated by lightning, battered by high-altitude gales under a dense curtain of rain.
On this platform, amidst the storm, a tall and fat man, even in the largest raincoat, was tightly squeezed.
"The show’s over? Is it my turn to pick up someone?"
This big fat man was the King of Darkness!
Even if Zhang Qiren couldn’t deduce the Dream Origin, he still wanted his Dark World!
One of his eyeballs bulged out, bloodshot and swollen, spinning like a telescope, his gaze pierced through the night, the storm, spanning kilometers, and looked down upon Zhang Qiren’s villa!
"Huh?
"What’s with that car?"
He saw the Bronze Car in the courtyard of Zhang Qiren’s villa.
"That car looks bizarre.
"Is it also here to pick up someone?
"Who the hell is so bold to flaunt such a car in West State City?"
He stepped onto the platform railing, about to leap down, to storm into the villa area to snatch someone... but!
He suddenly shivered, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Could it be that guy?
"He meddled in tonight’s play!
"Is he here to pick someone up?
"This?"
The King of Darkness wiped the sweat off his forehead.
The pain from the last time he got messed with hadn’t completely faded from his muscles, it even throbbed faintly!
He shivered again, taking a step back.
"This... let’s... not rush it... plan it out first!"
...
"It’s 9:50."
In the duck restaurant.
Chen Wenquan glanced at his watch again.
The air was filled with the unique aroma of roast duck, the special scent of the melted duck fat!
Professor Zhang and Chairman Chen Shu sat by a small table, both wearing smiles.
"This is the right aroma!
"Now that’s roast duck!
"It seems the culinary skills of our Immortal Technique Committee aren’t bad at all, hahaha.
"Later when Zhang Qiren arrives, let’s invite him to savor it with us."
Chen Wenquan’s smile had a hint of awkwardness.
This aroma... though fragrant, was not the roast duck he and his junior remembered.
"Why hasn’t he come yet?"
...
The wide road was illuminated by streetlights, submerged by wind and rain, leading to the distant night.
On the road, private cars formed a steel torrent.
Among them, the Bronze Car glided across the ground!
Whoosh...
Like a bolt of bronze lightning, it wove through the rain, overtaking car after car on the road.
Its massive body even shattered raindrops, crushed puddles, trailing a thick white mist behind it...
In the driver’s cabin, Flying Legs gripped the steering wheel, foot on the accelerator, fox eyes shining with light, his face full of excitement!
"Awooo!"
This was way more thrilling than Fox Mountain’s roads!
Star Belly and Black Gloves beside him also widened their eyes, glancing forward, at the side windows, full of excitement!
...
Behind, in the closed compartment, Tie Ta, Sun Dabao, Six Ears, and others were still asleep, tossed together in a pile.
Zhang Qiren sat cross-legged on the floor, feeling... Although this car didn’t consider aerodynamics, making a great deal of wind noise, its shock absorption was top-notch! Traveling at such a speed, regardless of the road condition, not the slightest bump was felt.
He took out his phone, opened a map app, checked the car’s direction, and suddenly smiled.
"Heading to that duck restaurant?
"Are you sending me off for the last time?"
He slightly raised his head, seemingly wanting to see the black strands of grass above him.
"It should be safe to talk in this compartment, right?
"The following words, only you and I can hear them.
"I hope you can block others, block the Ancient Immortal. Block what’s behind me and what’s behind you.
"Only the two of us can hear!"
...
In the Bronze Hall, Bai Mo looked at the white mist suspended mid-air, not interrupting Zhang Qiren’s speech. He’d long arranged for medications to block dream perception for Zhang Qiren.
Then he listened to Zhang Qiren begin.
"... In my deductions, I discovered the information left by the Meng Die Emperor.
"I’m telling you now.
"The once Ancient Immortal Dynasty was destroyed by a catastrophe.
"The source of this catastrophe can only be guessed, unspeakable, untellable..."
Bai Mo smirked.
Damn riddler.
"... When the catastrophe arrived, the sky and sun were enveloped by a sea of black clouds, and black rain fell between heaven and earth.
"When the catastrophe arrived, the Nine Countries Celestial Palace fell, the Yellow Clock shattered, pots and kettles thundered, and bronze locks snapped.
"When the catastrophe arrived, the Fallen Immortals gathered like clouds and tides, surging in from beyond the horizon.
"When the catastrophe arrived, countless steadfast immortals turned coat, becoming subservient and base, transforming into Fallen Immortals.
"When the catastrophe arrived, humanity’s millennia of history would be severed, history books hard to continue. All pavilions and towers covered in dust, millennia of civilization polluted, locked, paused in an instant.
"The Nine Kingdoms could not withstand the catastrophe, the Celestial Palace fell, the Holy Land shattered, races would be wiped out, civilization polluted, destruction looming overnight.
