Xu Taiping secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"In that case, we need only wait for the Heavenly Dao Edict to summon us."
As long as the Old Daoist could determine the location, he could have Xiaohei carry everyone there at once.
Boom! Rumble...!
Just then, a muffled crash suddenly erupted between heaven and earth-as though a colossal beast were turning over underground, or the heavens had hurled down ten thousand tons of thunder.
Rolling sound waves surged up from underground, shattering roof tiles and flinging dust into the air. The entire Scripture Repository convulsed violently, as though clenched in an invisible giant palm.
Beams and pillars creaked incessantly, shelves and scriptures slid down with rustling sounds, and cobwebs and dust scattered everywhere.
The blue bricks beneath their feet seemed to come alive. Crack after crack crawled toward the corners like spider silk, while the candle flames inside shook violently, stretching their shadows into twisted shapes.
Zhao Linglong looked at Xu Taiping with some concern and asked:
"Junior Brother, is this Scripture Repository about to collapse?"
Beside her, Lü Daoxuan gave a helpless smile and said:
"It isn't the Scripture Repository collapsing. The Heavenly Dao Edict's summons is almost here."
Zhao Linglong immediately looked nervous.
"So soon!"
Almost the instant her words fell, a dazzling beam of golden light suddenly pierced the Scripture Repository and landed directly on Zhao Linglong.
Seeing this, Xu Taiping immediately warned her hurriedly:
"Senior Sister Linglong, the Heavenly Dao Edict's summoning power will first take us to the Land of Chaos in Outer Heaven. Once you arrive, you mustn't..."
Boom!!!
Before Xu Taiping could finish speaking, Zhao Linglong had already vanished from where she stood.
Xu Taiping immediately frowned.
"Will she be all right?"
Lü Daoxuan gently patted his shoulder
