"He didn't follow..."
Sensing that the First Prince of the Black Rain Clan wasn't pursuing him, Fang Yue relaxed a little.
But the human-headed tree slung over his shoulder wasn't doing so well.
Even far away from An Dong'er, You Sisi was still having her nutrients drained by the array, and her presence grew ever weaker.
Drawing a deep breath, Fang Yue picked up speed.
With the night rain kept outside by the Ink Immortal Array, no blood rain fell from the sky.
Yet every street he passed through was utterly lifeless.
It was as though the survivors and the Rain Clan's weirds had all vanished.
If human corpses had littered the streets, he could have assumed the weirds had killed them. But the current situation could only mean that every living being in Capital City was being turned into nourishment for the Ink Immortal Array, nourishment for An Dong'er, fueling her ascension to immortality!
It was just that the effects might be less obvious on him, a rain-level fighter, and on You Sisi, who had already been transformed into part of the spirit tree.
In fact, if he paid close attention, Fang Yue could feel a portion of his power leaking away every time he used his martial arts. It was dragged into the ground, absorbed by the spirit tree's underground branches, then transferred to An Dong'er.
In a sense, An Dong'er had limitless vitality and power within the Ink Immortal Array.
Every living being within the Ink Immortal Array's reach would eventually become her nourishment, supporting her.
"An array this domineering and powerful... I can't believe Lord Mo came up with it..."
Fang Yue's understanding of Mo Qing was still rooted in his impressions from those ancient ruins. At most, he had considered Lord Mo an obsessive researcher.
