Chapter 144 – Disaster

Chapter 144 – DisasterAfter the Clover Family left, Ava had a moment of clarity and realized the situation she put herself in.

How did this happen? I'm suddenly married and I don't even know anyone here. Ava, you are so stupid!

Just as they were about to leave, Leyvi remembered about the cat lady ghost which he promised to help. He turned around, looking at the cat-shaped chair, but nobody was there.

That's weird. Didn't she wish to have a baby with me? Did she move on already? Do I have to look for her? But how am I supposed to look for a ghost, anyway? Leyvi wasn't sure what to do.

In the end, Leyvi decided not to look for her since he had already told her to find him after the competition. If she comes, he would help, but if she didn't, that's even better. He didn't want to get haunted by a ghost.

In a prison somewhere, Lin Wei opened his eyes. His lips curled into a smile. "It's time!"

Suddenly, ten very beautiful swords with ethereal blue light surrounding them shot out of Lin Wei's forehead. They were parts of the soul-bounded treasure that resided in his sea of consciousness. Lin Wei didn't control the swords with Qi, but with mental energy.

Lin Wei controlled them and pierced them into certain points on his body to undo the sealing forced onto him.

He endured the pain from the stabbing and, a few minutes later, his Qi finally circulated again, nourishing his body.

He felt so weak right now because he had been fed garbage food for the past two weeks by the dark-robed man. It seemed that he held a grudge against him.

After regaining his strength, he quickly escaped from the eerie prison using another part of his soul-bounded treasure. It allowed him to go past any formation undetected, but unfortunately, the effect would be disabled if he moved faster than normal walking speed.

As soon as he walked far enough from the place where he was imprisoned, confident that there were no more formations around, Lin Wei immediately escaped.

He had to inform his academy that he was fine. Thinking about the communication device in the space bag, he felt annoyed when he was reminded of all the stuff snatched from him.

After flying so far away through the woods, Lin Wei finally felt safe. "Fuuuh, I'm finally free. I shouldn't be so reckless after this. I wonder if the alchemy competition has ended or not. I hope Mia got the Mystic Realm spots."

While he slowly headed back to the Holy Cat City, intending to enter through another gate after he took a big detour, suddenly a figure zig-zagging through the woods towards him.

By the time his spiritual sense detected the unknown figure, it was already near him. Holy! What kind of movement martial skills is this? It's so fast! The unknown figure was only at the early stage of the Core Formation realm.

The next moment, Lin Wei also noticed that the unknown figure was being chased by some people. Nascent Soul! There's a Nascent Soul chasing after the unknown figure.

God dammit! Why do I keep getting into shitty situations like this? I need to run! Lin Wei complained in his mind.

Lin Wei activated his stealth martial skills and ran away in another direction while paying attention to the situation using his spiritual sense. Thankfully, his stealth martial skill was advanced enough that it could avoid detection even from a peak stage Nascent Soul expert.

The next moment, something absolutely unbelievable happened. The unknown figure who was fleeing with the extremely fast zig zag movement martial skill activated his stealth martial skill and completely disappeared from his spiritual sense.

Lin Wei, in a state of shock, didn't just stay there, he also fled the scene unwilling to be involved.

How is that possible? Is that person also someone who received the same inheritance? No, that's impossible! But how was that guy able to use it?

Lin Wei could have never imagined that the unknown figure saw him using the stealth martial skill once and then copied it the next moment.

The unknown figure was none other than Asmondol!

After the competition, he quickly left the Holy Cat City to travel to his next destination, but not long after, a group of Core Formation cultivators led by a Nascent Soul expert followed him.

"Kid, I don't know how you did it, but stealing the 'Heavenly Touch Alchemy Method' of our Medicine Valley will cost you your life!"

Alar Thorne noticed Asmondol was using the legendary art later in the competition many times, so he ordered his subordinates to follow Asmondol secretly and get rid of him when they got the chance. He didn't care how Asmondol did it, but he had to die! He couldn't let the advantage he obtained at such an astronomical price to be leaked so soon.

The Nascent Soul expert, who was one of the Medicine Valley's elders, shot out countless poisonous needles toward Asmondol in all directions, confident that he would be full of holes the next moment and then die miserably from the poison. However, his attacks completely missed.

Asmondol somehow detected to attacks and instantly dodged them by using an extremely fast movement martial skill he copied in the past. After dodging, he didn't stop and continued zig zagging away like a cockroach.

The pale Asmondol cursed inwardly at the Medicine Valley while fleeing for his life. Although he was considered lightning fast for his cultivation level, he couldn't shake off the Nascent Soul expert chasing after him.

Do I need to use this thing? Oh no, my life-saving treasure will be wasted because of these fuckers. Medicine Valley, just you wait...it was just a stupid alchemy method and you want me dead?

Huh? Someone's ahead! Crap! Is it someone from the Medicine Valley?

Asmondol was about to use his life-saving treasure, but suddenly, the person in front of him vanished. At the same time, his copying ability activated. A stream of information and experience flowed into his mind.

Holy shit! This is the legendary plot armor I read in the novel!

Asmondol quickly activated the unknown martial skill he had just learned and erased his presence. He then picked a random direction to escape.

Yahaha! Yahaha! Plot armor! Plot armor! Thank you to whoever gifted him such an amazing martial skill. Now he can peep.... ahem....run away more effectively! Yahaha! What kind of skill should he copy next?

Asmondol and Lin Wei both escaped the scene, leaving the people of the Medicine Valley enraged.

"What the fuck is happening?? How should I explain this to Sect Master??" The Nascent Soul expert roared. His spiritual sense couldn't pick up Asmondol's presence anymore.

At another place outside of the Holy Cat City, two figures approached the east gate slowly.

Since this gate was near the residential area and city center where a lot of people gathered, most of the audience for the alchemy competition who decided to return early exited the city through this gate.

The excitement they experienced from the alchemy competition hadn't disappeared yet as they recalled the event from their memories.

Just as they were about to enter the airship of their respective groups to return, the sky suddenly turned dark, and a creepy atmosphere engulfed the area.

Before their brain managed to register what was happening, countless dark hands rained from the sky and grabbed them violently!

ARRRGHHH!!!! HELP!!! IT HURTS!!! SAVE ME!!! NOOOO!!!

Thousands of people immediately wailed and screamed in pain, asking for help. Some died instantly because they were not strong enough to withstand the violent dark hands grabbing them.

BOOOMMM! BOOOMMM!

The dark hands destroyed all the airships nearby, killing the people who were already inside. S~eaʀᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Very few of them successfully evaded the dark hands and escaped. One of them was Dante May. Unfortunately, all his friends who came to support him were grabbed by the evil, dark hands right in front of his eyes.

While he used his life saving treasure to shoot himself away from the disastrous area, he saw his friends. Some were alive, some already dead, pulled into a gigantic creepy-looking bird cage hiding in the dark sky.

If Lin Wei was to witness this, he would recognize the bird cage instantly because he fought against it once. However, this time, the birdcage was several thousand times bigger and, with countless dark hands coming out of it, pulling people aggressively into it.

The gate guards inside the city who witnessed the horrifying scene were frozen with fear before they managed to overcome it and activate the highest level emergency alarm.

The Holy Cat City became alarmed and deployed the Grand Kitty Nine Layer Formation quickly, reinforcing the normal grand formation that covered the city every day.

Caterina Feline, who was stalking Leyvi from afar and was about to kidnap him into her bedroom as a ghost, realized that the Grand Kitty Nine Layer Formation was in place.

"Really? Are you serious? Who dared to interrupt my long awaited meal? LUNA!"

A white cat wearing a tiara immediately appeared on her shoulder. "Meow....I warned you earlier, but you only think about ding dong. It's your fault!"

"Hmph! It's been a while since anyone dared to cause trouble here. Let's go! I want to see who the retard is this time! I'll put their corpse in the museum!"

Caterina rushed to the east gate with Luna on her back at an astonishing speed, creating loud sonic booms.
