Chapter 1636: The Rainstorm is Approaching

The Rainstorm is Approaching

A figure covered in sweat sprinted hurriedly along the corridor of the Cangyun Base.

That was a staff member of the Cangyun Base, and also the assistant recently specially responsible for Lord of Hidden Clouds's daily life. He knew that at this time, Lord of Hidden Clouds might have already come face to face with the Calamity of Corruption, but he still had to come...

Just now,

He received a piece of news.

A piece of news that had to be notified to Lord of Hidden Clouds immediately!

As this assistant covered in sweat rushed to the end of the corridor and forcefully pushed open the main doors, Lord of Hidden Clouds, who was currently standing beside a cluster of churning clouds and mist, looked over here with some confusion...

Lord of Hidden Clouds had just extended half a foot at this time, as if he was preparing to step into the clouds and mist.

"Why did you come over?" Lord of Hidden Clouds was somewhat surprised, but he knew that if it wasn't an emergency, the assistant would absolutely not disturb him at this time. He frowned and asked, "Is there an incident outside? Is it... Jinghong Theater? Did something happen to Jinghong Theater?"

"Jinghong Theater is very peaceful... That Red King seems to be celebrating someone's birthday. As long as people go to Jinghong Theater, they can get a piece of cake."

Catching the Calamity of Corruption, Lord of Hidden Clouds seemed to be in a very good mood. Hearing this, he let out a hearty laugh:

"Cake? That's a rare item, even I haven't eaten it for a long time... You go tell the Red King to save a piece for me too. Once I've killed the Calamity of Corruption, I'll go to Jinghong Theater to find him..."

"Lord of Hidden Clouds, My Lord!"

The assistant couldn't help but directly interrupt Lord of Hidden Clouds.

He pursed his lips slightly. After a brief silence, he still spoke hoarsely:

"Over on Lord of Spirit Void's side..."

"Failed again."

Lord of Hidden Clouds, who had still been smiling broadly just a moment ago, froze in place.

...

Crack—!!

A pale bolt of lightning roared as it flashed across the sky!

With the final line of Opera Vocals sung, Chen Ling and Li Qingshan stood On Stage, slowly bowing...

The lightning flashed, illuminating the Calamity's flesh and blood on the windows of the Jinghong Theater into something hideous and bizarre. Figure after figure lay haphazardly on the ground nearby... In the quiet front hall, there was only a single Audience member who tremblingly raised his hands and clapped softly.

No one knew what Kong Baosheng was thinking at this time. The bloodstained bandages wrapping his eyes seemed to have already been soaked with tears. He simply sat there, becoming the sole listener to this 'Wangchun Platform'.

"Thank you, two Misters..." Kong Baosheng spoke softly,

"I never thought that I would be able to see 'Wangchun Platform' again... And it was even 'Wangchun Platform' personally performed by the two Misters. This gift is truly... Baosheng has no regrets in this life."

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

"But Mister..."

Crack—

Another bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.

Illuminated by the blood-colored windows, Kong Baosheng's gaze swept over those unconscious severely ill figures. His pale lips pursed slightly, and finally, looking into Chen Ling's eyes...

"Will spring really come?"

Chen Ling froze in place.

He was just about to say something when the main doors of the Jinghong Theater were suddenly pushed open. He only saw Magician Club J holding a Note of unknown origin in his hand, looking at Chen Ling with a solemn expression...

"My Lord... there are some things, perhaps you need to look at them personally."

Chen Ling had said before that the few of them should appear less in front of Kong Baosheng. But now that Magician Club J actually took the initiative to seek Chen Ling out at this time, it meant that a major event had indeed occurred... The reason it was Magician Club J who came to deliver the message was probably also because he looked the most like a normal person?

Chen Ling didn't hesitate, immediately turning his head to say to Li Qingshan:

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

"Okay."

Chen Ling quickly walked out of the Jinghong Theater. He only saw that the street outside was already covered with the corpses of various Calamities. Just as Chen Ling had thought, they were all those plants from the Bitter Flesh Forest...

And at this time, Red Heart J and Queen of Diamonds were standing on this blood-colored street, simultaneously looking towards Chen Ling.

"Red King, My Lord, an urgent letter from the Spirit Void Domain."

Magician Club J handed the paper to Chen Ling.

He hesitated for a moment, but still added a sentence, "Over in the Spirit Void Domain, it seems a major incident has occurred."

"...What?"

Chen Ling frowned, immediately taking the paper to read it carefully. His complexion visibly turned ugly.

The content on this Note was very scribbled, as if it had been hastily written out in a rush. However, the matters conveyed inside were a total of three items:

1. This morning, Lord of Spirit Void entered the tower early and began his second connection with the Akashic Records.

2. Lord of Spirit Void failed. The Akashic Tower exploded, and the shattered and flying pieces of the tower caused hundreds of casualties, as well as a large number of collapsed houses. The Spirit Void Domain suffered severe losses.

3. Lord of Spirit Void ordered again, to rebuild the Akashic Tower 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 of Spirit Void was going to try communicating with the Akashic Records again, he didn't expect this day to come so quickly... and fail so suddenly.

And unlike last time, this time's failure directly caused so many casualties among the citizens. It was estimated that the Spirit Void Domain at this time had already completely fallen into chaos.

And Lord of Spirit Void actually ordered to rebuild the Akashic Tower again at this time?

Wasn't he afraid of stirring up public resentment???

Boom—

Muffled thunder successively resounded from among the clouds.

Continuous rain started to fall from the sky. At this time, gloomy winds blew from all directions in the Hidden Clouds Domain, as if a massive rainstorm was brewing.

"Red King, My Lord, it's going to rain outside." Queen of Diamonds opened the door a crack and let out a light sigh. "Let's still go inside the house to take shelter."

Chen Ling fell silent.

This news from the Spirit Void Domain was no different from a blockbuster bomb. And what was affected behind this was absolutely not just the Spirit Void Domain itself... I'm afraid, the entire human society was going to fall into chaos.

But Queen of Diamonds was right, this rain had nothing to do with the Dusk Society.

Since it was raining,

Then returning indoors was enough.

Chen Ling took a step back into the Jinghong Theater. At the same time, those citizens who had been knocked unconscious by his Oppressive Aura also successively woke up. Successive coughing and noisy sounds rang out again, making the entire front hall a mess.

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

"Yes."

Under the Oppressive Aura and evacuation of Queen of Diamonds and the others, the citizens quickly left the Jinghong Theater. Almost at the same time, the originally continuous light rain directly turned into a torrential downpour, evenly drenching everyone. They were completely soaked all over, and could only sprint in the direction of their respective homes amidst panic and cursing.

The Calamities in this area had all been cleared out by the Dusk Society. At least on their way home, they wouldn't encounter any danger.

Chen Ling held that Note, as if he was still pondering something...

Right at this moment, Li Qingshan's exclamation came from behind:

"Baosheng... Baosheng!!"

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