Chapter 562: All Beings Are Equal (10/10, Autumn Moon Tickets)

What is that thing?!

Fuck! Isn't that Black Cloud? We saw that massive black cloud when we entered the city! How did it get even bigger, and how is it moving?!

You, don't come any closer!

Everyone had been on the verge of collapse after witnessing the four major leaders fall and die horribly.

Now, seeing this massive thundercloud crackling with lightning rolling toward them, they were utterly hopeless.

That's a thundercloud capable of summoning Night Rain!

If everyone now made a desperate retreat and fled Qingsi County, some among those present might still escape.

But if you add the encroaching giant thundercloud and the falling Night Rain, it's an absolute death sentence—everyone faces nine deaths and one chance of survival!

Yet unlike the despairing reactions of the sect disciples,

the Qingwei of Qingsi County, upon seeing the thundercloud approach, did not fear—they were excited!

They even shouted aloud.

"Ye Baiyi!"

"Great! Ye Baiyi is here!"

"Ye Baiyi, the Coffin Pulling Trickster is over there! Quickly find a way to kill him!"

"Ye Baiyi, save us!"

They… were welcoming Ye Baiyi's arrival!

The sect disciples were stunned; after asking the nearby Qingwei, they learned that Ye Baiyi was terrifyingly powerful!

He had stormed in and out of the Phoenix Organization's stronghold, slaughtered one of the Twelve Seats—Ma Seat—destroyed the Phoenix Organization's conspiracy, and had even clashed with the Coffin Pulling Trickster long ago!

In Qingsi County, aside from the four recently defeated leaders, Ye Baiyi was the pillar holding everything up!

"So he's insanely strong, right?"

"Of course! Who else could be strong if not Ye Baiyi? If anyone can turn this situation around, it's only one person—and that person is none other than the future Qingyi Lord of Qingsi County, Lord Ye Baiyi!"

Amazing! Ye Baiyi!

The crowd's emotions surged, joining the Qingwei in loudly welcoming Ye Baiyi's arrival.

The previously retreating formation stabilized again, lifted by the Qingwei's heightened expectations, and unexpectedly held a fragile stalemate against the monstrous horde.

Tian Long immediately noticed Fang Yue's arrival.

Upon learning that the approaching figure was the peerless expert who had battled the Air Trickster within the Black Cloud, Tian Long instantly halted his retreat.

Are you kidding? With a peerless master like that standing guard, what's the Coffin Pulling Trickster worth?

Stable! Stable! This defense mission is secured!

No wonder the system sent such a powerful boss to attack the city—there's a top-level ally covering our backs!

Watching his fellow disciples shift from panic to calm, then to eager anticipation for Ye Baiyi's arrival, Tian Long sneered inwardly.

Idiots—learn from me, stay calm in crisis!

Too bad I was so focused on fleeing earlier that I didn't take the chance to kill my two senior sisters. Now that our top ally has arrived, this mission will likely end soon—I wonder if I'll still get a chance to eliminate them.

Jiang Shixiong had been betrayed by him and silenced by Tian Long's fabricated accident; only the two senior sisters harbored resentment.

If I don't kill those two women, my heart will never rest!

While Tian Long was lost in his petty schemes, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu, at a distance, waved her small hands excitedly.

"Ye Ge came to save us! I knew he'd arrive!"

Captain Wu shook his head slightly; honestly, he didn't believe Fang Yue could defeat the Coffin Pulling Trickster.

But before the outcome was clear, he refused to retreat!

In the face of tricksters, his dictionary had no word for "retreat"!

Ever since Mo Cun was destroyed, he had silently vowed to eradicate every single trickster in the world—none left alive!

An Dong'er, who shared the same resolve, had been captured by the Phoenix Organization.

Thinking of the Phoenix Organization's methods, Captain Wu couldn't sleep or eat—he couldn't stay still.

If Qingsi County weren't in such dire crisis, he would've turned and left long ago.

I hope Captain Ye kills the Coffin Pulling Trickster; if not, then it's my turn!

If Fang Yue hadn't come, it would've been Captain Wu charging toward the Coffin Pulling Trickster right now!

He had already moved forward—only stopped when he saw the thundercloud approaching.

Compared to other Xiantian Realm sect masters, Captain Wu might not be the strongest, but his determination to kill tricksters was the greatest, his brutality in combat unforgettable—few would willingly face such a madman in actual battle.

Beside Captain Wu and Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu, Chen Qing was frantically dealing with Lord Han's condition.

Xiao Xuedou had returned to their side, but Lord Han had fallen into a deep sleep.

This was no ordinary sleep—it was a terrifying backlash.

As the central bridge connecting three forces, Lord Han needed to use his Origin to maintain their balance.

But during the previous explosion, he unleashed too much power, causing imbalance; the three forces now clashed chaotically within him, still unsettled, and no one knew what form they'd take.

In short, until the situation was understood, Lord Han must not use that power again—otherwise, forcing its use could kill him instantly.

Chen Qing wanted to help Lord Han, but this wasn't his room or his lab—he had no proper equipment; theory alone was useless here.

Just as Chen Qing didn't know what to do, thunder roared again in the distance!

While everyone assumed it was just ordinary thunder…

Tick-tock.

Tick-tock.

Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock!

Night Rain fell.

……

Everyone was stunned.

This time, not only were humans frightened, but the eerie army also fell into chaos.

【Night Rain】's erosion makes no distinction between humans and the eerie!

When raindrops fall, beneath the Rain Level, all beings are equal!

All eerie beings below the Rain Level must kneel in trembling fear beneath 【Night Rain】's threat!

The alliance of the Qingsi County Office and the sects panicked.

The eerie army panicked.

All people, all eerie beings, trembled in fear because of this moving great thundercloud!

And most terrifying of all, in the sky, everywhere the eye could see, black clouds from all directions—more black clouds—were converging and smoothly merging into the great thundercloud above Fang Yue's head.

The thundercloud's range expanded again, nearing coverage of two-thirds of Qingsi County!

Everyone's legs trembled; thoughts of retreat arose.

All eerie beings trembled and withdrew from battle.

Fang Yue hadn't even arrived yet.

But one man and one cloud terrified the entire battlefield!

Scared every person, every eerie being, into not daring to move!

According to Fang Yue's words, this was the legendary—Cloud Deterrence!

Amidst everyone's renewed terrified screams of "Don't come any closer!!!", Fang Yue rapidly closed the distance to the battlefield!

At the same time.

The eerie retreated! The crowd scattered!

Fang Yue had not yet arrived, yet he had already cleared the field!
