"A first-rank divine artifact, the Mist Deployment Banner?"
The young married woman, who had cautiously hidden beside the youth, froze for a moment. This divine artifact was considered one of the few famously useless artifacts under heaven.
As a first-rank divine artifact, because the Dao principles and laws it involved were so few and easy to condense, many cultivators used it for practice, or as a foundation for cultivating some kind of water-mist divine artifact.
But it was precisely because the Mist Deployment Banner contained too few principles that the area it could affect was extremely limited. Even when wielded by a third-rank cultivator, it could only affect several dozen li of land. The mist it produced was not much different from naturally formed water fog and could not obstruct a cultivator's sight at all.
Nowadays, aside from some Rogue Cultivators who still used the Mist Deployment Banner to set up formations and fool mortals, it was basically never seen at any other time.
"Something's wrong!"
Unlike the young married woman, the youth was the young master of a major faction and had seen many fine treasures. Though he could not discern the mystery of the Mist Deployment Banner in Yu Chen's hand, his instincts told him something was wrong. He reached out, and a folding fan landed in his grasp.
He gently unfolded it. First came a thunderous boom, followed by streams of water mist gathering over the fan's surface. He drove the Ink Dragon within to transform into a Black Dragon and fly out, sweeping several people up as it tried to flee.
Yet the surrounding mist churned, seemingly boundless, severely disrupting their vision and senses. The Black Dragon flew about for quite some time, yet still failed to leave the range covered by the mist.
"That's impossible!"
