Chapter 529 Finding Ye Lan
Chapter 529 Finding Ye Lan
"Ugh, that black serpent, it's infuriating!"
Paimon floated beside the traveler, constantly complaining about Arataki Ichito, his face puffed up with anger.
Ying watched with a smile, "Alright, alright, Paimon, don't be angry. Let's go rest for a while."
"Hmph, you're so kind. Let's go together."
The resentment came quickly and went quickly; Paimon followed Ying with a grin.
"Huh? This is it?"
As Paimon passed by a patch of grass, a faint blue light emanating from its depths caught his attention.
She flew down, parted the weeds, and saw a miniature version of the Taiwei Instrument Pan that looked exactly like the one hanging in the sky.
"Hey!! This is it!"
Paimon stared at the compass in surprise, then turned to look at the huge compass on the right side of the sky. He looked left and right three or four times before he finally realized what was happening.
"Too...too majestic?!"
"What the hell?"
Araki Ichito's voice rang out from behind them, startling the two of them.
"Whoa! You...you...how did you suddenly appear behind me?!"
Paimon clutched his chest and quickly retreated.
Araki Ichito put down the smoky cigarette in his hand and said nonchalantly, "Ah, what's wrong? You guys were talking about the Taiyi Plate, so I came over."
Yan Fei felt a little dizzy.
She only remembered crouching down a moment ago, and the next second she was lifted up and appeared behind the traveler.
"These...their ears are really sharp."
The traveler wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead.
I saw the Taiwei Instrument Panel one second ago, and it was here the next.
"Alright, alright, stop talking about me. Yanfei, you know about magical artifacts, why don't you activate it and see if there are any unexpected changes?"
Araki Ichito stared at the Taiweiyi Plate, then patted Yanfei's shoulder, who was still somewhat dazed.
"Ah, oh oh."
Yan Fei realized what was happening, moved closer to the instrument panel, and began to adjust it.
Click click click-da
Om-!
As the pointer clicked, the entire space seemed to be twisted and torn apart.
At a certain moment, the two discs in the sky resonated together, and a sound as loud as a great bell resounded throughout the entire venue.
The portal from the story appears ahead. Passing through the corridor, the scene before you transforms in an instant, changing from a bloody battlefield to a desolate plain.
Weapons were planted all around, and withered weeds grew wildly. The smoke and fighting seemed to echo in everyone's hearts through time and space.
"Where...where am I?"
Paimon flew up unsteadily, his eyes looking like mosquito coils.
"Is it the effect of the Taiwei Instrument Panel?"
Yanfei patted her head and straightened up again. In front of her, Arataki Ichito was standing there with his arms crossed, seemingly unaffected in the slightest.
"Yes, that's about it. Also, it seems your friend is in a little trouble."
"Ah, what?"
Yan Fei glanced to the side and saw Ye Lan in the distance drawing her bow and shooting arrows, pulling the kite without stopping for a moment. Sweat had soaked her clothes and strands of hair were stuck to her forehead.
"It's Yelan! She's in danger!"
Paimon cried out in surprise, and the Traveler, sword in hand, charged forward.
"Yelan!"
Yan Fei also ran quickly into the distance.
Araki Ichito, on the other hand, walked with a leisurely pace.
Ying moved nimbly, quickly approaching Ye Lan's direction. Wind elements gathered in her palm into a dark vortex, and the powerful suction force immediately pulled more than ten black figures, crushing them all.
At the same time, Ying lightly touched the ground with her toes, and like a swallow in flight, she swung her sword through the air, unleashing a dark tornado that roared forth!
As a sudden gust of wind arose, Ying slammed her palm onto the ground upon landing. Sharp rock spikes surged forth from both sides, tearing countless dark figures to shreds, leaving no trace of their bodies.
Suddenly, a massive fire seal formed in the sky and crashed down upon the figure below!
boom! !
Flames erupted, and the black figures vanished completely.
"Ye Lan, are you alright?"
Yanfei and Ying quickly came to greet them.
Ye Lan was panting, but she felt a sense of relief.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little too exhausted. Let me rest for a while."
The group quickly helped Ye Lan sit down on a rock to the side.
It was at this moment that Araki Ichito finally arrived.
They exchanged a glance, but neither of them said anything.
It was Paimon who spoke first to defuse the situation.
"Ye Lan, what are those dark figures?"
"I don't know either. I came here as soon as I entered the cave, and the way back has disappeared without a trace."
Ye Lan wiped the fine sweat from her forehead. "While I was observing my surroundings, that group of shadowy figures approached me. They seemed endless, and I couldn't kill them all no matter what I did."
"So I could only stall for time and wait for you to come."
"Didn't you encounter Xiao?"
Araki Ichito suddenly asked.
Ye Lan shook her head. "No, he must have been teleported to another space. Otherwise, he wouldn't be unable to find me here."
"Huh? Then why were we all teleported together?"
Yan Fei turned around and looked at everyone, her expression puzzled.
Araki Ichito spread his hands, "Who knows? Maybe there are only three spaces. If the first two are full, we'll have to go to the third one."
"Hey, hey, hey, there's no such thing as a full house if there's only one person."
Paimon looked speechless.
"Well, let's put this topic behind us. We should get the compass to get to the young man's side now, otherwise I'm afraid his injuries will worsen."
"Xiao...is it because of Fushe?"
Ying realized what was happening.
"He's not too stupid. I overheard your conversation. I suspect that the young man's opponent is him, Fushe, the number one Yaksha under the Emperor. He must be even stronger than the young man. I really want to see him soon..."
Araki Kazuto's hands were clenched into fists, trembling slightly, and his scarlet eyes revealed a warlike glint.
"Now is not the time to think about that! The most important thing is to find Xiao as soon as possible!" Paimon shouted.
"Let's split up and search."
Ying's eyes were serious, and he immediately began to act with Paimon.
Araki Ichito glanced at Yoran and said, "Now is not the time to rest. You shouldn't rest either. Let's get moving."
Ye Lan said nothing, but simply nodded and stood up from the stone.
"Alright, let's get started!"
Araki Ichito raised his arm, urging everyone on.
Because they were worried about the young man's safety, the search was launched very quickly.
Yan Fei found the Taiwei Instrument Plate embedded in a rock wall.
"Hey everyone! I've found it!!"
Swish!
Araki Ichito appeared beside Yanfei, carrying Yoran in his left hand and Ying and Paimon in his right.
Setting everyone aside, Araki Ichito shattered the rock wall with a single punch, caught the compass—larger than a normal person's—with one hand, and casually tossed it to the ground.
"Come on, Yanfei, you can continue operating it."
Without hesitation, Yan Fei gently manipulated the hands.
Click, click, click—da!
The world-shaking chimes resounded once more, and the portal, its surface rippling with water, stood silently before them.
I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I feel like the demonic energy emanating from the compass on the left side seems to be more solid.
Hmm, now that I think about it, that must be it.
With this in mind, Araki Ichito stepped through the door.
N-A-A
