Deep within the outer perimeter of the Black Rain Zone.
While the " Restriction Flag " in other areas triggered the " Yellow Wind Spirit Restriction," forcing back the black rain clouds and dispelling the black rain, the black rain still poured down here, the rain curtain thick and heavy.
And at a place overlooking an abyss.
A large number of figures stood here; they were the guards of Qingyuan Market, numbering in the hundreds, a very strong and well-equipped force.
Especially at the very front of the guards, there was not only Zhou Xuan, the head of the guards, but also Cheng Shan and Commander Fu. These three Divine Ability Master were in charge, making the lineup quite impressive.
Zhou Fuling stood behind Zhou Xuan. Even though she was wearing a raincoat, it couldn't hide the girl's exquisite curves. The damp rain pattered on her fair and pretty face, making her look as delicate as a flower bud.
Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the Black Rain Zone behind her. In those areas, streaks of yellow wind dragons had already risen into the sky, triggering the " Yellow Wind Spirit Restriction," which meant that the Restriction Flag missions of the various forces in Qingyuan Market had been completed.
Zhou Fuling took out a map of the outer perimeter of the black area from her bosom, glanced at the direction, and then locked onto a spot where a yellow wind was rising.
That should be the location for the Thunderfire Hall mission.
Judging from Huang Feng's ascent, Lu Ming and his team must have completed their mission.
But Zhou Fuling knew in her heart that the completion of the Restriction Flag mission was not the end for Lu Ming and his group; on the contrary, the real danger had only just begun.
She was naturally aware of Lin Changkong's malice towards the Golden Gang Sword Hall Thunderfire Hall.
According to Zhou Xuan, during this " Rain Weakening Period," there is a high probability that one of the Thunderfire Hall or the Golden Gang Sword Hall will be destroyed.
However, from the perspective of the local government, they would not usually get too involved in the conflicts between the Divine Ability Hall; at most, they would step in to mediate. But the feud between these two families had reached a point of life and death, and the grudges were too deep to be reconciled.
Zhou Fuling had actually seen many similar competitions and bloody battles between the Divine Ability Hall. In fact, the Divine Ability Hall she had seen, in terms of both level and scale, far surpassed the Third-Tier Divine Ability Hall in Qingyuan Market.
She had never cared much about the infighting between the Divine Ability Hall, but today, she found herself somewhat unsettled.
"That kid learned my ' Azure Jade Wings,' he should be able to survive, right?" She sighed silently in her heart.
Zhou Fuling was naturally aware of the calamities that Lu Ming and his group would face during this Rain Weakening Period, which was the main reason why she had repeatedly gone to the Thunderfire Hall despite the trouble.
"I've invested so much in this kid, he can't die so easily, otherwise all my investment of favors, resources, and connections would be wasted. This is the first time I've ever invested in someone like this." Zhou Fuling was trying to find a reasonable explanation for her unease.
At this moment, Zhou Xuan, seeing that the " Restriction Flag " in the positions behind him had been successfully released, also began to make his move. With a wave of his sleeve, a golden Restriction Flag floated in the air, then absorbed the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, rapidly growing stronger. In just a few breaths, it transformed into a massive golden Restriction Flag, hundreds of feet long.
boom!
The Primordial Qi within heaven and earth vibrated wildly.
The Restriction Flag fluttered, and a yellow gale raged and swirled.
An endless yellow wind rolled in from behind, forcing the black clouds and rain on the horizon deeper into the Black Rain Zone.
Zhou Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the depths of the Black Rain Zone, where the sky and earth were shrouded in extreme darkness, and terrifying black rain poured down wildly, creating a scene resembling the end of the world.
The black rain was so intense that even Zhou Xuan couldn't see through it.
But he vaguely sensed that deep within that Black Rain Zone, there existed some fluctuations that even he found chilling.
There is great terror in there.
It also holds a great secret, otherwise His Highness wouldn't have gone to such lengths to plan it.
"The main flag has already begun to be deployed. In about half a day, it will form a wind wall, standing here to block the black rain from advancing. The mission during this Rain Weakening Period is almost Perfection." Zhou Xuan withdrew his gaze and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhou Fuling breathed a sigh of relief. Then, her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she suddenly bit her red lips, saying, "Fourth Uncle, now that things are settled here, please send a team of men to me. I'll go and explore the back and see if I can find any spiritual items."
Zhou Xuan turned his head, gave her a meaningful look, and smiled, "Finding even a mid-level Foundation Establishment Spirit Object in this outer area is already considered a stroke of good luck, but even if it were given to you, would you, Miss, even want it?"
Zhou Fuling argued vehemently, "Mosquito meat is still meat, and the pleasure of finding it yourself is definitely different."
Zhou Xuan paused for a moment, then said, " Fuling, there are their own rules for survival within the Divine Ability Hall."
Caught off guard by his words, Zhou Fuling blushed slightly, but then said in a spoiled manner, "I don't care, he can't die here. I've invested so much in him, if he dies I'll lose everything!"
"Moreover, he is the talent we are looking for to cultivate the ' Sun-Shining Golden Flame Banner. ' Her Highness will probably arrive soon, and if we haven't found a single talent by then, it will be difficult to explain to her."
Zhou Xuan was speechless. Given your relationship with His Highness, do you really need to explain something so trivial? Couldn't you have come up with a more serious excuse?
"Fourth Uncle~"
Zhou Fuling tugged at Zhou Xuan's sleeve and began to act coquettishly.
Zhou Xuan sighed and said, " Commander Fu, you take a group of men and go with her. I should be enough for you here."
Upon hearing this, the Commander Fu nodded in agreement. "Yes, Master."
At the same time, Zhou Xuan whispered to Zhou Fuling, "Don't get too involved. If the situation really gets to the worst point, just protect Lu Ming."
Zhou Fuling nodded slightly, then said nothing more. She circulated her Primordial Qi, which formed jade-like Primordial Qi wings behind her. With a flap of her wings, she soared into the sky.
Commander Fu, clad in Thunderfire Feather Robe, quickly followed.
" Lin Changkong should have already intercepted the Thunderfire Hall group."
Meanwhile, in a rainless area, in a forest, Wen Liu, with slightly white eyebrows, gazed into the distance with a smile, for just moments before, he had sensed two astonishing fluctuations of Primordial Qi colliding.
"Let's go, we should add fuel to the fire. We received such a high reward from Lin Changkong, so we should naturally do our part."
He gave instructions to his four men, then walked out of the woods first.
In his eyes, Lu Jin was already a dead man. As long as he arrived and joined forces with Lin Changkong, that old guy would have no chance of surviving.
However, Wen Liu's smile did not last long, because he saw a figure standing quietly in the forest ahead, blocking their way.
It was a woman. Since the black rain in this area had temporarily stopped, she had taken off her raincoat, revealing a close-fitting outfit. Her face was gentle and dignified, and her hair was styled in a woman's bun, adorned with a gorgeous gold hairpin that shimmered with golden light, making her appear beautiful and elegant.
That's... Li Yan.
Wen Liu stopped in his tracks, a look of surprise and doubt appearing in his eyes, because he sensed a dangerous aura emanating from the beautiful woman before him.
"What do you mean by this?" Wen Liu asked slowly.
"Finding you rats really took some effort."
The beautiful woman with a gentle and dignified appearance spoke softly. She reached out and took off the hairpin from her head. As the light flowed, it transformed into a slender sword, with blue phoenix patterns engraved on its blade.
The next moment, a powerful and astonishing azure Primordial Qi Feather Robe roared out from his body, transforming into azure Feather Robe that covered his body.
"It's been years since I've done it myself."
"But for my daughter's sake, I had no choice, so..."
She smiled gently, tilting her head slightly towards Wen Liu and the others. A playful, girlish smile appeared on her still charming face, creating a striking contrast that left Wen Liu momentarily stunned.
But the next moment, a calm voice, carrying a chilling killing intent, swept in like a whirlwind.
"Go to hell, you lot."
