Chapter 572: Chapter 348 The Longevity Sword and Jade Flute Guest Chapter 572 -348 The Longevity Sword and Jade Flute Guest Ice State.

Frost County City.

Ever since the Seven Profound Sect stationed itself in Ice State and occupied Frost County, the Prefectural Government had become much more stable.

However, at this moment, an oppressive and somber atmosphere pervaded the entire city, causing unease among its million residents.

The reason was the celestial phenomenon above, where the sun split into two, an omen passed down by generations of elders to be among the most inauspicious signs.

Despite the Government officers steadying the people’s hearts within the city, the intangible effects brought about by such celestial changes could not be dispelled.

Atop the city walls of the Prefecture City,

many disciples of the Seven Profound Sect had taken over the guard duties from those of Frost County, monitoring all directions of the city.

...

In a corner of the south-facing wall, a figure stood tall, dressed in the long robe of a Sect Protector, hair tied up, exuding an androgynous and dashing air—it was Meng Danyun, the Protector of Spirit Profound Peak.

At that moment, another figure approached, also dressed in a Protector’s robe, and said:

“Junior Sister Meng.”

“Senior Brother Zhao.”

Meng Danyun looked at the approaching Zhao Zhenchuan with a touch of emotion, saying, “Senior Brother Chu toiled in cultivation for many years, finally taking that step.

It’s a shame we have to stay in Frost County and can’t go back to congratulate Senior Brother Chu.”

The news of Chu Jingsui’s breakthrough to the Marrow Cleansing Realm had reached Frost County.

But now with the celestial changes in Ice State, the scene of two suns in the sky, not to mention the Earthly Abyss, a large-scale demonic chaos was imminent just on the surface.

Therefore, those from the Seven Profound Sect who were stationed in Ice State would not return to the Great Sect but were dispatched to various locations in Frost County and Han Prefecture, especially Frost County.

As the celestial changes became clear, the first tremors of the Earth’s Veins began in Frost County, making it the earliest region to access the Earthly Abyss.

Hence, Grandmasters from various major Sects in the Cold North were converging on Frost County, some even entering the City directly, others spreading out across the County.

“Senior Brother Chu has just broken through and needs to consolidate his Realm.

He probably won’t participate in exploring the Earthly Abyss this time, but Chen Mu should be coming.”

Zhao Zhenchuan said with a smile.

“Yes.”

Meng Danyun nodded slightly.

The Earthly Abyss was a very dangerous place located deep underground, fraught with complexities, not only filled with various fierce Demon Kings but also traces of Ancient Demons, which were hardly found above ground.

Therefore, only Grandmasters were qualified to explore it.

But Chen Mu, ranked third on the Wind Cloud List and renowned for slaying Tuguhou, naturally had the qualifications to enter the Earthly Abyss.

Such an opportunity would undoubtedly not be missed by Chen Mu; the question was when he would arrive.

While Meng Danyun and Zhao Zhenchuan were discussing,

suddenly,

both of their gazes shifted, cutting off their conversation abruptly, their eyes revealing a vigilant look as they turned their attention to the distant part of the Prefecture’s city walls.

Almost at that same moment, the ground started to tremble and shake, causing some guards at the city gates to lose their footing.

Earthquake!

If one were to look down from the sky, they would see the rugged mountains far from Frost County trembling violently, with even some mountain bodies shattering and collapsing.

Although Frost County City was not at the center of the earthquake, it was still affected, shaking repeatedly.

However, Meng Danyun and Zhao Zhenchuan were neither panicked nor perturbed, standing their ground firmly in place and calling out to the guards in every direction.

“Stay calm.”

“Everyone hold your positions; do not panic!”

Their voices spread quickly, still clearly audible amidst the roar of the earthquake, and after initial tumult, the guards on the gates also quickly regained their composure, steadying themselves on the ramparts.

Ever since the beginning of strange occurrences in Ice State and the intensification of the two-suns scenario, tremors in Frost County had become a frequent occurrence, happening almost daily throughout the region.

The Government had sensed the vibrations multiple times, though this time it was closer and stronger.

The earthquake was brief,

and ultimately, since it was not centered on Frost County City, the disturbance was not too violent.

It caused some chaos in the Outer City, but the scale was not very large, and the situation on the city gates remained relatively calm.

Nevertheless, the earthquake still brought new developments.

Roughly dozens of miles away from Frost County City, within the ravines of the barren land, a series of shattering noises emerged.

Then, the ground exploded, and a massive, two-zhang-long, dark insect burst from the earth.

Its head raised high, it seemed to madly disperse its Demon Qi towards the two split suns in the sky.

As if uttering a silent, frenzied scream, the black insect, as if catching the scent of flesh and blood, instantly stuck to the ground and shot towards Frost County City in a black line, shrouded in its Demon Qi.

Since the walls of Frost County City were very high, with only a small settlement outside, and beyond that extensive wilderness, when the Insect Demon was about a dozen miles from the city, both Meng Danyun and Zhao Zhenchuan on the city walls noticed it.

“Demon Qi.”

“Yes, it’s an Insect Demon…”

Zhao Zhenchuan narrowed his eyes to focus on the distance, observing the black demonic insect coming towards them like a dark arrow, and quickly identified it in a low voice, “It should be a Sixth Rank Great Demon, a Black Frost Centipede.”

In these times of change, even in its early stages, the appearance of demonic beasts increased significantly compared to ordinary days.

It’s no wonder that a Sixth Rank Great Demon would emerge from deep underground, and this is precisely why protectors like them were guarding the city walls themselves.
