Chapter 1636: The Rainstorm is Coming

A figure drenched in sweat ran frantically along the corridor of the Cangyun Base.

He was a staff member of the Cangyun Base and an assistant specifically responsible for the Cangyun Lord’s daily life recently. He knew that at this time, the Cangyun Lord might have already come face-to-face with the Turbid Calamity, but he still had to come...

Just a moment ago,

He had received news.

News that had to be notified to the Cangyun Lord immediately!

As the assistant rushed to the end of the corridor, drenched in sweat, and pushed open the door, the Cangyun Lord, who was standing beside a mass of churning mist, looked over with some confusion...

The Cangyun Lord had just extended half a foot, as if preparing to step into the mist.

"Why are you here?" The Cangyun Lord was somewhat surprised, but he knew that if it weren't an emergency, the assistant would never disturb him at this time. He frowned and asked, "Is there a change outside? Is it... the Jinghong Building? Did something happen at the Jinghong Building?"

"No... no." The assistant panted heavily,

"The Jinghong Building is very calm... that Red King seems to be celebrating someone’s birthday, and as long as you go to the Jinghong Building, you can get a piece of cake."

Having captured the Turbid Calamity, the Cangyun Lord seemed to be in a very good mood. Hearing this, he laughed heartily:

"Cake? That’s a rare item, I haven't eaten it in a long time... You go tell the Red King to save me a piece, and after I kill the Turbid Calamity, I’ll go to the Jinghong Building to find him..."

"Lord Cangyun!"

The assistant couldn't help but interrupt the Cangyun Lord directly.

He pressed his lips together, and after a brief silence, he spoke hoarsely:

"Lord Lingxu..."

"Has failed again."

The Cangyun Lord, who had been smiling just a moment ago, froze in place.

……

*Crack—!!*

A pale bolt of lightning roared across the sky!

As the final line of the script was sung, Chen Ling and Li Qingshan stood on the stage and bowed slowly...

Lightning flashed, illuminating the Calamity flesh on the windows of the Jinghong Building, making it look hideous and eerie. Figures lay scattered on the ground nearby... In the quiet front hall, only one audience member trembled and raised his hands, clapping gently.

No one knew what Kong Baosheng was thinking at this moment. Blood-stained bandages were wrapped around his eyes, as if they had been soaked by tears. He stood there, becoming the only listener to this "Wangchun Terrace."

"Thank you, two gentlemen..." Kong Baosheng said softly,

"I never thought I would be able to see 'Wangchun Terrace' again... and performed by the two gentlemen themselves. This gift is truly... Baosheng has no regrets in this life."

"What nonsense are you talking about." Chen Ling stepped off the stage and patted his shoulder. "Baosheng, your illness will get better... everything will be fine."

"But sir..."

*Crack—*

Another bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.

Under the reflection of the blood-colored windows, Kong Baosheng’s gaze swept over the unconscious, critically ill figures. He pressed his pale lips together and finally looked into Chen Ling’s eyes...

"Will spring... really come?"

Chen Ling froze in place.

Just as he was about to say something, the doors of the Jinghong Building were suddenly pushed open. The Magician, the Club J, was holding a note from who knows where, looking at Chen Ling with a grave expression...

"Sir... there is something you might need to see for yourself."

Chen Ling had previously told them to appear less in front of Kong Baosheng, but now the Club J had taken the initiative to find Chen Ling at this time, which meant that something major had indeed happened... The reason it was the Club J who delivered the letter was probably because he looked the most like a normal person?

Chen Ling didn't hesitate and immediately turned to say to Li Qingshan:

"You take care of Baosheng, I’ll be right at the door."

"Alright."

Chen Ling walked quickly out of the Jinghong Building. He saw that the street outside was already littered with the corpses of various Calamities, just as Chen Ling had thought—they were all those plants from the Bitter-Flesh Turbid Forest...

And at this moment, the Heart J and the Diamond Q were standing on this blood-stained street, looking at Chen Ling in unison.

"Lord Red King, an urgent letter from the Lingxu Domain."

The Club J handed the paper to Chen Ling.

He hesitated for a moment before adding, "Something major seems to have happened in the Lingxu Domain."

"...What?"

Chen Ling frowned and immediately took the paper to read it carefully. His expression became visibly ugly.

The content on this note was very scribbled, as if it had been written in a hurry, but it conveyed three things:

1. This morning, Lord Lingxu entered the tower early to begin the second connection with the Akashic Records.

2. Lord Lingxu failed, the Tower of Akasha exploded, and the shattered flying debris caused hundreds of casualties and the collapse of many houses. The Lingxu Domain suffered heavy losses.

3. Lord Lingxu ordered again to rebuild the Tower of Akasha at all costs.

"Wu Tongyuan... what exactly are you doing?" Chen Ling muttered to himself.

Although Chen Ling had long heard the news that Lord Lingxu was going to attempt to communicate with the Akashic Records again, he didn't expect this day to come so quickly... and for the failure to be so sudden.

And unlike last time, this failure directly caused so many civilian casualties. The Lingxu Domain must be in complete chaos right now.

And Lord Lingxu actually ordered the rebuilding of the Tower of Akasha at this time?

Is he not afraid of inciting public anger???

*Boom—*

Dull thunder rumbled from the clouds one after another.

Continuous rain began to fall from the sky. At this moment, ominous winds were rising in the Cangyun Domain, as if a great storm was brewing.

"Lord Red King, it’s going to rain outside." The Diamond Q opened the door a crack and sighed softly. "Let’s go inside to hide."

Chen Ling was silent.

This news from the Lingxu Domain was no less than a bombshell, and the impact behind it was definitely not limited to the Lingxu Domain itself... I’m afraid the entire human society is about to fall into chaos.

However, the Diamond Q was right; this rain had nothing to do with the Twilight Society.

Since it was raining,

Then he would just go back inside.

Chen Ling walked back into the Jinghong Building. At the same time, the citizens who had been stunned by him woke up one after another. Successive coughing and noisy sounds rang out again, making the entire front hall a mess.

"Tell them it’s about to rain, and tell them to go back quickly." Chen Ling waved his hand.

"Yes."

Under the pressure and dispersal of the Diamond Q and the others, the citizens soon left the Jinghong Building. Almost simultaneously, the continuous light rain turned into a downpour, soaking everyone evenly and drenching them to the bone. They could only run toward their homes amidst panic and cursing.

The Calamities in this area had all been cleared by the Twilight Society; at least they wouldn't encounter any danger on their way home.

Chen Ling held the note, as if still thinking about something...

Just then, Li Qingshan’s exclamation came from behind:

"Baosheng... Baosheng!!"

"Brother Chen!! Baosheng is vomiting blood!!"
