Chapter 294: with translation of chapter title

294 From today onward, Mysterious Gate needs to prepare.

Tens of thousands of employees were ordered to leave the company immediately, given a paid day off.

Essential positions were to take work home, with overtime pay provided.

Within less than ten minutes, the entire group, including the cleaning department, received the news and then began to leave one after another.

Apart from the Xie Clan, there were several other companies nearby, but Xie Shiyu also personally dealt with those companies.

Actually, as long as the major personnel of the Xie Clan withdraw, the remaining popularity would not be enough to conceal the double-headed snake's demonic power.

But for safety's sake, everyone should stay as far away from this area as possible.

Many employees were confused, not knowing why they were suddenly given a day off.

But the company said the upper department demanded confidentiality, and also warned them not to post any videos or false statements on their phones online, otherwise the relevant law enforcement authorities would come to have a talk with them.

The withdrawal of tens of thousands of employees could not be completed in a short time.

It took about one hour and forty minutes.

The Xie Clan group was left with people gone and the building empty.

At this moment, the tenth heavenly thunder tribulation fell from the sky; the double-headed snake suddenly opened its eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, the tenth heavenly tribulation fell from the sky, the double-headed snake suddenly opened its eyes and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

How did the power of this heavenly thunder suddenly double?

How did the power of this heavenly thunder suddenly double?

The eleventh heavenly thunder was gathering power, yet to fall, but the double-headed snake already felt its pressure.

It widened its eyes, knowing that heavenly tribulations proceed from weak to strong, the later the greater the power, the final tribulation being the key and also the hardest to withstand.

Whether it can withstand this with its strength is truly unknown.

Now, facing the eleventh tribulation, it feels suffocated, unable to breathe.

Now the eleventh one it feels itself being pressed so hard it can't breathe.

Suddenly it recalled those few Mystic Masters just now.

They must have done something!

It hurriedly looked toward the ground and saw several people gathered together, not knowing what they were discussing.

It quickly released its demonic power to sense what they were saying.

Mumu: "Everyone here has withdrawn; with the next heavenly thunder tribulation, it should end up charred outside and tender inside, right."

Xiang Yichu: "Probably not yet; that double-headed snake still has strength, likely needs another two tribulations."

Wang Dongqing: "Hey, never mind how many tribulations; in any case we can't withstand the final one, and we don't know which gate it sneaked out of. Once it's blasted to ashes, should we, for the sake of humanitarianism, send it back to the demon realm as a warning?"

Maomao: "Mmm, the phrase 'to serve as a warning' is used well, I agree."

The four looked at Tushan Jiu, who had been silent, not knowing what she was thinking.

Tushan Jiu felt their gazes, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm thinking, this tribulation shouldn't go to waste; why not temper our magical implements? Anyway, that snake is so fat; if we throw our implements beneath it, we can not only absorb the thunderous qi, but also pour some 'oil' on this 'fire'."

Tushan Jiu felt the gazes of several people, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm thinking, this heavenly tribulation shouldn't go to waste; why don't we temper our arcane artifact? Anyway, that snake is so fat; if we throw our arcane artifact beneath it, it can absorb the thunderous qi, and besides, we can pour oil on its fire."

They never imagined it could be done this way.

It still has to be Tushan Jiu!

Unbeknownst to them, the double-headed snake in the sky, upon hearing their words, was so angry it jumped up and down.

But he couldn't do anything, because once the tribulation began, it couldn't move.

It didn't understand why this was happening.

Why, just a moment ago there was so much popularity, how could they withdraw from this area so quickly?

This is also because Tushan Jiu doesn't know its doubt; if she did, she would surely answer it truthfully, for humans have a saying: not being proactive about vacation is a problem with one's thinking!

Saying it and doing it, Tushan Jiu truly didn't waste resources; the several people directly hurled their magical implements at the double-headed snake.

In an instant, the thunder surged, and the lightning thickened to the size of an adult's thigh.

Tushan Jiu felt it wasn't enough and gave the several people a look.

They also tacitly agreed, each taking out a lightning-attracting talisman.

Pinch the seal, draw lightning, strike the snake demon!

The eleventh heavenly thunder fell together.

In an instant, lightning intertwined, dazzling people so they couldn't open their eyes.

But just as the several people were shielding their eyes with their hands, a sudden change occurred.

A demonic law shield blocked part of the tribulation.

Tushan Jiu and the others' expressions changed slightly as they looked toward the distant old man wearing an outdoor cleaning uniform.

The rain curtain grew heavier; they couldn't see the old man's face, but the surrounding demonic power made the several people instantly alert, hurriedly recalling their implements and preparing for battle.

But before they could act, the old man instead reached up and grabbed at the sky.

The double-headed snake was instantly crushed, as easy as squashing an ant.

The several people wore the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone—what a sneaky maneuver: first blocking the heavenly thunder, then killing the double-headed snake?

Is this a show of cultivation prowess before them?

Just as they were thinking that, the old man suddenly laughed.

"You few young people have not bad strength; I haven't seen such talented juniors in a long time. Not bad, not bad—ten years is neither long nor short; we'll meet then."

"You youngsters are not bad, old man; I haven't seen such talented juniors in a long time. Not bad, not bad. Ten years is neither long nor short; we'll see when the time comes."

A golden light flashed in Tushan Jiu's pupils: "He is the demon king of the demon race, his true form is a tiger; this is not a physical body."

Wang Dongqing frowned: "Looks like I need to inform my master and the others when I go back."

Wang Dongqing frowned: "Looks like I'll have to inform my master and the others when I go back."

Maomao also nodded, saying, "That old man's strength just now is truly not to be underestimated; if this were before the heavenly path was severed, according to my master's division of strength, he'd probably be about at the level of an earth immortal."

Tushan Jiu and Xiang Yichu remained silent; Wang Dongqing and Maomao were different from the two of them.

They are all from major sects, and several senior heavenly masters are currently in closed-door cultivation.

The loosening of the seal naturally needs attention; we must notify all Mysterious Masters.

To prevent these things from actually emerging to wreak havoc upon the human world.

After returning, they also need to send messages to the offices everywhere, telling them to pay attention to any movements of the demon clan recently.

Especially those few offices stationed at the 'gates'—they must be specially notified and given importance.

From today onward, the Mysterious Gate must make preparations.

Many retired office staff members likely also need to prepare for being recalled.

Besides that, Tushan Jiu and her group have another task: to find out exactly which gate this two-headed snake slipped out of.

After all, what came out was its true form.

Moreover, this time they actually appeared directly in a place crowded with people—this is nothing short of a provocation; we must give them a lesson, so they know the consequences of breaking their oath!

A mute's loss? Tushan Jiu and her group have never suffered one!

When the two-headed snake died, the thunderclouds in the sky quickly dissipated, and the sky instantly cleared.

People who don't know the truth are speculating all over the internet, but many of the videos they just uploaded were taken down for violations.

It's also because of this that some people have keenly sensed a hint of abnormality.

However, most people merely treat it as an after-dinner topic.

After all, ordinary people still make up the majority of this world, and ordinary people cannot possibly know the truth of some matters.
