Chapter 308, The Real Target Is Her

Boom~

Booms sounded everywhere as Luo Yunhai commanded his three teams left and right. The 36 pylons of light were reduced to 26 in a matter of seconds.

The others were stunned, cheering for the Luo clan. Their young master had grown up at last. [He will make a fine Clan Head!]

When half of the pylons crumbled, the array formation was constantly shuddering from the strain. 18 pylons were hardly enough to sustain such a large array.

Luo Yunhai shouted, “Fall back!”

They all rushed away, but some were too slow in their retreat and the exploding array engulfed them.

Boom!

The force of the blast smashed into the surroundings, while the unfortunate few who got caught in it were sent everywhere in pieces. Robbed of life before they could utter even a whimper.

The lucky survivors saw before them a foul thick mist. They drew a breath, rejoiced having come out unscathed, only to be swallowed whole by the towering miasma. They wailed and cried even as their flesh dissolved into blood and pus, soaking the mud.

Chu Qingcheng cried, “Watch out! It’s Pill King Hall’s Rainbow Cloud Palm!”

A layer of ice appeared on her body as she spoke. She gathered her palms and erected a cold barrier.

The miasma touched the barrier and let out hissing sounds, eating through it in moments.

Chu Qingcheng was shocked. Not even Vicious Pill King’s poison was that toxic.

The saying that no one could defend against Yan Bangui’s Rainbow Cloud Palm, who had a poison body, wasn’t unfounded!

Gnashing her teeth, Chu Qingcheng’s only option was to retreat. Made painfully aware by the increasing number of victims the miasma swallowed and dissolved.

“Ha-ha-ha, Edifice Lord Chu, you’re just in time. I’ll never forget this life debt!” Following the unbridled laughter, people trapped inside noticed Chu Qingcheng.

Long Xingyun and Xie Tianshang’s teams were free now. Just that they were reduced to less than ten people. The core of the two houses was safe, while the vassals had gone to the underworld.

Technically there was one vassal who had pulled through, the Xue clan’s siblings.

Thanks in no small part to Xie Tianyang and Zhuo Fan’s fame, or who knew when in this ordeal they’d be used as ‘honorable’ sacrifices.

Luck was with them at least, with the array giving way just as the miasma was about to devour them. They flew away the instant they could, joining up with Chu Qingcheng.

Long Yifey and Xie Xiaofeng saw their sons safe and sound and eased a breath they didn’t know they held. But looking at the sky covered in poison, then at the bloody mud below their feet, the gruesome hellscape left them soaked.

The Esoteric Debate of this century was far more malicious. Perhaps the fact that the seven houses were officially at war had something to do with it.

For appearances’ sake, the seven houses abstained from a full out war, letting their vassals be their proxy. But now, the vassals weren’t the only ones turned into rivers of blood, the seven houses were tearing into each other just as savagely.

It was easy to imagine what would’ve happened if Chu Qingcheng was even a moment slower in her rescue. The Sword Marquise Abode and Veiled Dragon Pavilion’s bloodlines would’ve been cut short at the hands of
