Chapter 857

As Ye Zhangqing sent out a distress call, the originally furious members of the Spirit Chef Alliance all fell silent.

Entities: Ye Zhangqing (from glossary). Spirit Chef Alliance (not in glossary, should be translated as Spirit Chef Alliance). Also, the members is generic, not a name.

Furthermore, everyone wore a strange look, as if they wanted to speak but hesitated.

Within Yunluo Holy City, as they witnessed the odd behavior of the Spirit Chef Alliance members, the steward of Yunluo Holy Land and a few strong men leading the group were filled with doubt.

Entities: Yunluo Holy City, Yunluo Holy Land, Steward, and strong man (generic).

What's happening? Weren't you just full of anger? Why is nobody speaking now?

Entities: Yunluo Holy Land, Steward.

As for Ye Zhangqing, after using the distress talisman, he fell silent, his face as calm as an ancient well, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Actually, the Spirit Chef Alliance members simply think that something major is about to happen.

As for the people of Dao Yi Holy Land, now that they know the Rice Ancestor has been wronged in Yunluo Holy City and even framed, how could they bear it?

Not flattening Yunluo Holy City would already be lenient; as for the dignity of Yunluo Holy Land...

Heh, anyway, given the Spirit Chef Alliance's understanding of this Upper Sect, they would never show restraint, especially since it involves the Rice Ancestor.

Actually, the Spirit Chef Alliance members' guess is completely correct; at this moment, Dao Yi Holy Land has indeed descended into complete chaos.

Originally it was a peaceful day; disciples were practicing Xiūliàn, some disciples who had just finished practicing Xiūliàn, during rest time, they were still sighing about Ye Zhangqing going out.

Alas, Elder Changqing has gone; I really miss him.

Yeah, eating dry rations every day is okay, but the dry rations are almost gone.

All gone? Weren't you just bought more than twenty boxes earlier?

That still isn't enough to eat.

Without Ye Zhangqing around, many disciples felt uneasy and strange.

Just as the disciples were sighing, a familiar bell suddenly rang from the skies above Dao Yi Holy Land.

Is someone sending a distress call to the sect?

As the bell rang, the disciples all looked in surprise toward the main peak; could a disciple outside be in danger?

When the New Mountain Gate was established, it naturally retained many of the original customs of the Dao Yi Sect, including this distress bell.

However, if it were only a single chime, it wouldn't be enough to prompt the disciples to act; they would merely be curious.

But then came the second, third, fourth, all the way up to the ninth chime.

The disciples were completely unsettled; who was sending the distress call?

When the bell rang nine times, it was a peak master or chief elder–level person sending the distress call.

Has a peak master or elder encountered danger outside?

That shouldn't be; I haven't heard of anyone going out except Grand Elder Wu Shou.

But the Grand Elder isn't in Dongzhou; can a distress talisman really not work across regions?

As far as I know, only Wu Shou, a peak master, and someone of chief elder level are currently outside.

But he's in Dongzhou, and a distress talisman can't reach Zhongzhou.

But the nine bell chimes indicate that a peak master–level person has indeed encountered danger.

The disciples were discussing heatedly when someone suddenly spoke softly.

Senior brother, haven't you forgotten that besides the Grand Elder, there is also a chief elder outside?

Huh?... No way, right?

Upon this reminder, the disciples all realized; could it be Elder Changqing?

Yes, Elder Changqing is now also one of the chief elders of Dao Yi Holy Land.

However, the disciples hadn't realized it for a moment.

Even if it couldn't be the Grand Elder, it could only be Ye Zhangqing.

Having guessed that Ye Zhangqing had encountered danger outside, the disciples were completely unsettled.

Not only them, but inside the main peak hall, Qi Xiong, Hong Zun, Yun Xiantai, Yu Mo, Wang Man, and the other old ancestors all arrived one after another.

Whose distress talisman is it? The bell rang nine times.

It's Changqing Xiaozi.

Qi Xiong had already inquired earlier and confirmed it was Ye Zhangqing's distress talisman; hearing this, everyone present turned grim, and Yun Xiantai even shouted.

What are we waiting for? Let's hurry and set off, or else Changqing Xiaozi might get into trouble.

Yun Xiantai was thrilled; lately he felt like he was living the life of a god.

Each day he enjoys sumptuous meals and the fine wines stored by his disciple Hong Zun, making it impossible to resist.

When Yun Xiantai heard that Changqing Xiaozi was in trouble, he refused to go along.

As Yun Xiantai spoke, the crowd urged Qi Xiong to take immediate action.

Activate the teleportation array, destination Yunluo Holy City.

Seeing the situation, Qi Xiong didn't hesitate and spoke right away.

At once, all inner disciples, peak masters, and elders of Dao Yi Holy Land hurried to the teleportation array.

Being one of the Three Holy Lands, Dao Yi Holy Land naturally has its own teleportation array, already linked to the major human cities of Zhongzhou.

But after the formation was activated, the Peak Master of Myriad Formations Peak, Zhang Tianzhen, spoke with a grim face.

Sect Master, the connection isn't working.

Zhang Tianzhen, are you even capable? You can't even hook up a basic formation breaker.

Hearing this, Hong Zun and the others instantly grew anxious—this was Changqing Xiaozi in trouble, and it appeared Ye Zhangqing was using a distress talisman for the first time on his own.

The previous time in Dongzhou, Jin Min was the one who used it, not Changqing Xiaozi.

Faced with the reproaches from Hong Zun and the others, Zhang Tianzhen responded with a gloomy look.

It's not our fault; Yunluo Holy City refused the connection.

The connection of the Teleportation Array Formation requires simultaneous operation from both sides.

Once one side gives up the connection, it cannot succeed.

Hearing this, Qi Xiong, Hong Zun, and the faces of the senior members of Dao Yi Shengdi instantly darkened.

"You say Yunluo Holy City refused?"

"Indeed, and it has happened three times in a row."

"As expected, this was premeditated, senior brother; we cannot delay—Little Ye Zhangqing may be in danger."

"Exactly, in my view that bunch of good-for-nothings from the Spirit Chef Alliance will hardly be able to protect Little Ye Zhangqing's safety; we must hurry over."

"Contact Luoshui City and have them link up the Teleportation Array."

After a moment's thought, Qi Xiong said in a deep voice.

Luoshui City is one of the several cities closest to Yunluo Holy City, and it also has a Formation for the Teleportation Array.

Moreover, with the speed of these Great Emperors like Yu Mo and the others from Yun Xiantai, once they reach Luoshui City, this short distance can be covered to Yunluo Holy City in the time it takes to finish a cup of tea.

Now we only hope Luoshui City can connect the Teleportation Array; otherwise, it will be troublesome for Qi Xiong and the others to rush to Yunluo Holy City as quickly as possible.

Hearing this, Zhāng Tiānzhèn did not dare waste time and directly contacted the Lord of Luoshui City.

Luoshui City is not directly governed by Yunluo Holy Land, but the dynasty it belongs to is also a vassal dynasty of Yunluo Holy Land.

Fortunately, however, the matter of Yunluo Holy City and Ye Zhangqing has not been transmitted to Luoshui City.

I suppose even Grand Elder Wang Lin did not anticipate that things would develop to this point, and naturally he did not think to give Luoshui City advance notice.
