Chapter 112 A Moving Dark Cloud

Tomorrow morning, that is, the morning of the second day, was You Sisi's optimistic prediction.

Who knew what obstacles they would encounter when notifying those sect experts, or if they would run into any bizarre occurrences on the road, delaying them, and possibly causing them to miss the deadline.

It would be normal to be delayed until the third day or even miss the appointed time altogether.

Only now did Fang Yue realize that all these sect leaders and masters were second- or third-rate sects. To put it simply, they were all a bunch of weaklings.

But Fang Yue was only slightly stunned, still greeting everyone politely.

The crowd, who had been embarrassed and stiffened by You Sisi's public exposure of their identities, finally had a way out, and their impression of Fang Yue greatly improved.

Fang Yue didn't think so much. He just felt that since everyone came to help, no matter how small their contribution, it was the thought that counted, and it wasn't good to neglect them.

When asked what had happened and why the alarm bell had rung, everyone eagerly pointed to the distant sky.

"Lord Ye, please look over there. That black cloud is moving against the wind, which is quite unusual."

"That's right, I've lived for most of my life, and I've never seen such a strange phenomenon! There might be something bizarre hidden in that dark cloud!"

"Great minds think alike! I also think there's something bizarre hidden inside. It's even possible that the dark cloud itself is the bizarre thing!"

"This is a bit tricky. The martial arts we've learned have few aerial combat techniques. We can only maximize our combat power by finding a way to bring down the bizarre thing in the dark cloud."

"I remember that Qing Si has large war crossbows. I saw them before, but later, because of… what happened with Lord You back then, they were put away. I wonder if they can still be used?"

As soon as these words fell, everyone else's expression changed, and they all fell silent.

Seeing Fang Yue surrounded by so many people, You Sisi had long been a little dissatisfied, frowning slightly, but saying nothing.

But now that someone mentioned that matter, her face immediately darkened.

She admitted that she had made a mistake when she first came to Qing Si County, due to being young and impulsive.

It was also after that incident, when Tian Erjun forgave her, that she truly realized how to be a Qing Yi and how to protect Qing Si County.

Now that so much time had passed, she had matured a lot, but hearing others mention that matter again, it was like digging up someone's dark history, which inevitably made people unhappy, especially when Fang Yue was listening nearby.

With a cold snort, she said coldly, "First, find out what's going on with the dark cloud. If there really is something bizarre, Qing Si will naturally find a way to bring it down. You don't need to worry about it!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Lord You is wise!"

Everyone hurriedly flattered her with smiles, looking like seasoned veterans.

But that was also true. To be able to survive in Qing Si County, with weak small sects, they must have some achievements in interpersonal relationships.

Fang Yue looked up at the distant sky, unable to see any problems with the dark cloud that occasionally flashed with lightning and thunder.

"Since it's a dark cloud, it should rain [Night Rain], right?" Fang Yue said hesitantly.

"I'm not sure, but since there's only one dark cloud, even if it rains [Night Rain], it will only cover the area of one or two houses. Just have people avoid it and take shelter from the rain."

Hearing that Fang Yue was asking, You Sisi's voice suddenly became much gentler, causing strange expressions to appear on the faces of others.

"Then let's observe it first."

Although they said they were observing, it was impossible for everyone to be idle. They issued orders, telling the villagers to hide as if it were [Night Rain].

The entire Qing Si County suddenly became panic-stricken and chaotic.

They had naturally experienced [Night Rain], but the unknown existence of [Night Rain] brought by a moving dark cloud brought too much fear.

Night Rain, that was something only rain-level (Yu Ji) experts were qualified to face directly. Everyone else could only retreat.

And Qing Si County… had no rain-level experts!

Below the immortal level (Xian Ji), all were ants; without the rain-level, the world contended.

Not having a rain-level expert was the norm.

Most people might not have the chance to see a rain-level expert in their entire lives.

Everyone below the rain-level fought to the death, but on the contrary, at the rain-level, they rarely took action.

Therefore, [Night Rain], as a rain-level quality inspector, was almost everyone's nightmare.

Anyone who had not reached the rain-level was in awe of [Night Rain], avoiding it.

You Sisi was the same.

If this dark cloud wasn't just a single one, not too large, and particularly strange moving against the wind, she would have already gone to take shelter from the rain.

Even so, complete preparations were still necessary.

While everyone in Qing Si County was waiting in anticipation, the dark cloud had already floated over the city gate of Qing Si County and was drifting towards the city.

Countless eyes were staring at the dark cloud.

Fang Yue was no exception. During the day, he didn't have the ability to withstand Night Rain.

Without the blessing of [Night Breathing], he, a Xiantian realm expert, would not be able to survive for long in [Night Rain] before dying.

Fang Yue stared unblinkingly at the dark cloud in the sky. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the back of his hand was getting hotter and more painful.

Looking down, Fang Yue, who was hiding under the eaves, was stunned.

The back of his right hand was actually sizzling from the heat, emitting the smell of burnt flesh.

The flesh and blood seemed to be burnt and dried, revealing the charred bones inside, but the mark was still exerting its power, still getting stronger.

"Ye Baiyi?!"

You Sisi exclaimed, noticing Fang Yue's abnormality immediately. She quickly took out a medicine bottle and sprinkled it on the back of Fang Yue's hand, which had been burned into a groove. The small, blue, granular pills fell down like small ice cubes, filling the wound on the back of Fang Yue's hand.

"Does it hurt?"

You Sisi also blew two breaths on the back of Fang Yue's hand with concern. When she looked up and saw Fang Yue's stunned expression, her expression stiffened, and she let go of his hand expressionlessly, taking out a pink handkerchief.

"Iced Wound Pills will slowly melt and heal the wound. Wrap it up, and it will heal faster."

You Sisi said expressionlessly, trying to keep her tone calm, but it still carried a slight tremor, and her cheeks were hot.

"Uh… thank you."

The Iced Wound Pills quickly melted under the scorching red mark. As expected, a cool and comfortable feeling spread across the wound, and the burning pain was swept away, becoming cool and comfortable.

Good stuff!

Fang Yue's eyes lit up.

If he had this stuff, even if the bizarre curse (Guiju) broke out, he could still enter a meditative state and begin cultivation.

Taking the handkerchief You Sisi handed over, Fang Yue wrapped it around the wound, suddenly realizing that the handkerchief gave off a faint coolness. It didn't seem like an ordinary handkerchief.

Stunned, Fang Yue said, "This thing…"

"It's yours."

A sugar mommy!
