Chapter 1170: Ten Deaths, No Life

The black Audi slowed to a stop at the edge of the mountain road.

"That's Wushan Town ahead. Let's switch drivers." Sun Bumian got out of the car, looked at the town at the foot of the mountain in the distance, and spoke.

Chen Ling had intended to be lazy and keep riding, but Sun Bumian pulled him out anyway. Only the driver and the groom remained in the car, while the others walked on both sides of the vehicle.

Although there was only one car, the boys in their suits walked with their heads held high, accompanying the vehicle. With the Audi's hazard lights flashing, it actually looked a bit like a real wedding procession.

Upon reaching the entrance of the town, everyone became visibly excited, chatting away along the way. Only Datou, with his hands on the steering wheel, moved the car forward inch by inch, looking very nervous.

"Do you know the way to the bride's place?" Sun Bumian knocked on the car window.

"I think so... after entering the town, just make a turn and we'll be there."

"Alright." Sun Bumian turned to look at Brother Pao, who was also sweating from nervousness in the back, and grinned.

"Nervous?"

"A... a little..."

"It's normal to be nervous now, but when you see the bride later, you can't show it! Be confident!"

"I'll try..."

Chen Ling walked at the very front. Hearing the lively sounds from behind, he didn't react, just continued walking forward at his own pace.

He wasn't interested in any wedding processions or performances, but Sun Bumian seemed to enjoy this atmosphere. Ever since they started the procession, he had become unusually talkative and exceptionally cheerful...

And perhaps it wasn't just Chen Ling's imagination, but Sun Bumian’s seventh-rank peak spiritual power seemed to be constantly growing during this process, as if some force in the dark was nourishing his soul.

He seemed born for these things.

Sun Bumian was holding the lion dance head, and just as he was about to step forward after chatting with the boys, an inexplicable sensation flashed through his heart!

He froze in his tracks.

He took off the small round sunglasses on his nose, and in his pupils, which were nested with rings, the silhouette of Wushan Town ahead was clearly reflected... At the same time, strands of golden or black energy began to spread in his field of vision.

[Divination of Good and Evil].

Good and evil could not hide from Sun Bumian’s eyes, but in reality, in Sun Bumian’s eyes right now, there wasn't a trace of gold to be seen.

The lingering drizzle fell from the clouds, and the ominous energy, black as ink, surged from beneath the earth like a monstrous fire, enveloping the entire town and burning fiercely!

The houses of varying heights, the vehicles passing on the road, the pedestrians coming and going inside and outside the shops... as far as the eye could see, everyone was permeated with a pitch-black ominous energy, as if they were in purgatory, roasting everything in the town.

"This is..."

Although his memory wasn't very clear, Sun Bumian vaguely remembered seeing this scene before... This violent ominous energy usually foretold extreme disasters—ancient evil armies slaughtering cities, floods raging, earthquakes, and natural disasters. Almost no one who encountered such signs survived.

It was the most ominous of the ominous, a dead zone with ten deaths and no life!

Sun Bumian felt his scalp tingle. His instinct for auspiciousness constantly warned his body, telling him to get as far away as possible, otherwise even he would be implicated.

"Brother Pao! Why did you stop talking!"

"I... I'm thinking about what to say to Xiaoyu later..."

"Do you need to think about that?! Just pick her up and go! You do pull-ups every day, this intensity shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"What do you mean 'pick her up and go'? Are you a human trafficker? In my opinion, you really need to think of a few good lines. After all, you only get one chance, you have to leave a moving impression."

"Then... what do people usually say?"

"Don't worry, Brother Pao. I'll message my childhood friend and ask what girls like to hear at times like this..."

"Right, right, I'll message my mom and ask too!"

“？？？”

"Hey, why did Big Brother stop?"

The boys had walked quite a distance before they saw Sun Bumian still standing there blankly, and they waved at him, signaling him to hurry up and catch up.

The wedding procession moved slowly forward.

The pitch-black ominous energy, like tentacles extending from the sea of fire in the town, had already stained the boys, who hadn't even reached Wushan Town yet, with a faint scent of death...

Sun Bumian watched this scene and fell silent.

Sun Bumian didn't know what was going to happen to this town, but there was no doubt that as they approached it, they were also stepping bit by bit into the abyss.

"Wait a minute." Sun Bumian slapped his forehead. "I did the math, these two days aren't good, not suitable for a wedding... How about this, I'll refund your gold, and you guys come back on an auspicious day? It's just a wedding, no need to rush it today..."

Sun Bumian’s sudden words made the boys suspicious. They looked at each other, and Brother Pao spoke without hesitation:

"Big Brother, we're already here. We won't go back... Today, I must pick up Xiaoyu."

"Yeah, we worked so hard to get here, there's no reason to back out now..."

"I checked the almanac before I left, today is suitable for weddings. How could it be a bad day?"

"Big Brother, did you make a mistake?"

The boys were getting anxious, speaking one after another. Sun Bumian watched them getting closer and closer to the town, wanting to say something but stopping, his expression visibly anxious...

Just as he was about to say more, his peripheral vision swept forward, and his footsteps paused slightly.

At the very front of the procession, the figure in the bright red opera robe, who had been walking alone the whole time, had already stepped into the raging sea of "ominous" fire!

Chen Ling was not Sun Bumian; he couldn't perceive the changes in the auspicious and ominous energies. As he inadvertently stepped into it, the raging black sea of fire seemed to be torn open by force, and a faint golden light intertwined around Chen Ling, extending bit by bit into the town...

The certain-death ominous energy that shrouded the entire town actually showed a glimmer of life with Chen Ling’s entry?

Sun Bumian was stunned. You have to know that this level of ominous energy couldn't be easily reversed. Even he, a seventh-rank peak Opera God, couldn't do it. Why could Chen Ling?

Seemingly sensing the burning gaze from behind, the bright red opera robe stopped slowly amidst the ominous black sea and turned to look back.

"What are you staring at?"

Chen Ling was a bit displeased. "If we drag this out any longer, the rain will get heavier."

Under the gloomy sky, almost everyone’s eyes were on Sun Bumian...

In Sun Bumian’s pupils, the expectant gazes of the boys in suits were reflected, along with Chen Ling, who was surrounded by a hint of golden light. After a moment, he silently gripped the small gold dog in his pocket.

"Forget it... I took the money, I'll do the job. It's only right." Sun Bumian sighed. He slowly put on the lion dance head, and an inexplicable charm flowed from the lion’s eyes!

"Start the drums... clear the way!!"
