Chapter 192: Fog Covers the Sky
The movements of the Tomorrow Society did not attract much attention from the law realms.
While Spirit Sense can be used for perception, it was too far away, and only Ji Qing and Qi Lian could cover the battlefield.
Additionally, as the attacking side, the Tomorrow Society would find it difficult to take action if they could not shield their Spirit Laws.
To this end, the group prepared two sets of formations.
One was the Extreme Cold Great Formation for offense.
The other was a mobile barrier for concealment.
Before setting out, everyone used this mobile formation to cover their movements, which could somewhat interfere with the probing of Spirit Laws.
Since it was a mobile formation, this setup was simply a small formation and theoretically had much less power than a fixed large formation. If the Spirit Law Official was cautious, there was a high chance they would notice something unusual.
However, Ji Qing needed to be alert for celestial attacks, so he focused more on defense rather than searching.
Using Spirit Sense for large-scale sweeps would scatter precision; both defense and search efficiency would drop significantly.
This was the effect Yun Ye needed. Everyone in Baishi Town was hesitant due to the celestial phenomenon.
In this situation, the chance of Ji Qing discovering an anomaly in the mobile formation was only about 5%. Even if Ji Qing and others possessed Spirit Laws exceeding Yun Ye’s calculations, this chance would only rise to 17%.
This probability was enough for the Tomorrow Society to take a gamble.
And this was Ji Qing.
Another person who might sense something was off was Qi Lian.
As a Spirit Law Official with far superior Spirit Law skills compared to Ji Qing, Qi Lian’s power was on par with Ji Qing, filled with many unknowns and difficult to predict.
However, the previous strike gave Yun Ye a rough understanding of her normal level. He discovered that the Tomorrow Society had about a 30% chance; if they used powerful Spirit Laws or other trump cards, that chance could rise to 100%.
But these were just theoretical numbers.
Yun Ye had seen Qi Lian a few times and had already outlined her character and temperament.
She was very special; despite being in Baishi Town and seemingly unable to break free, she maintained a certain level of independence and did not completely merge with Baishi Town.
Even her workplace was an inconspicuous corner of the Academy.
Yun Ye’s judgment in reverse mode suggested that Qi Lian was not on the same side as Baishi Town and was unlikely to exert her full power. Even if she discovered the Tomorrow Society, it was very possible she would choose to make contact rather than directly attack to eliminate them.
Of course, it was best if there was no conflict. If conflict arose, that was also part of the plan.
From the beginning, the Tomorrow Society treated the entire Baishi Town as a hypothetical enemy, not considering the discord among the law realms, various interests entanglements, and other factors that could weaken Baishi Town’s strength.
Only by preparing for the worst case from the start could they remain composed when emergencies occurred.
The thirty-five members of the Tomorrow Society advanced silently, their Spiritual Law masters nearly all mobilized.
The thirty-five were divided into teams of twelve, led respectively by Yang Shu, Tong Huo Yang, and Tian Jing.
Now, not only was Tian Jing missing, but the central figure, Yun Ye, was also absent. The formation was essentially incomplete and needed to merge quickly as both sides approached a fixed location.
One side was advancing in the material realm, while Yun Ye and Tian Jing were moving forward in the underworld.
“Master, does it seem like this place will erode the spirit?”
Tian Jing noticed a troubling trend as the icy aura continuously invaded his body; part of him had already frozen solid.
Their bodies were now all spiritual bodies, and a frozen spiritual body was extremely concerning. Injuries to the spirit were even harder to heal than damage to their spiritual essence.
Moreover, they were already injured by Spirit Law, and if this continued, it might harm their spiritual essence!
"This is the price of power… Let’s go!"
Yun Ye grabbed Tian Jing and suddenly leaped out of the black hole, landing in the middle of a forest.
Sunlight streamed down, quickly eliminating the chill from their souls.
The next moment,
Yun Ye returned to the underworld once more.
Boom!
In an instant, a wind spear shot down, shattering the area.
"We’re out of energy! The space Spirit Law… truly troublesome!"
Liu Jianxin’s face turned grim.
If they increased their attack distance, their power would be significantly weakened, making it unlikely to hit anyone.
But that was compared to the law realms!
In the mere spiritual realm, even a distance of a hundred miles would be hard to evade their attacks; the only issue was how to find them.
Once Qi Lian pinpointed their exact location, the difficulty in tracking them drastically decreased.
Even if they hid in space, it would merely be a matter of searching around that point.
With a strategy like this, Liu Quan and Ji Qing could barely manage.
But another problem arose…
There wasn’t enough time.
Although they could quickly locate Yun Ye’s presence through their Spirit Sense after he appeared, that "quickly" still required time.
When the attack arrived, Yun Ye would have already vanished again.
This was a deadlock!
"A mere Mortal Realm…"
All the law realms murmured to themselves.
But unlike the dismissive stance of the past, this time they were apprehensive, even fearful.
A mere Mortal Realm could actually target the law realms—what an absurd situation!
Where was the sanctity of power and realm?
"Please, Master Ji, take action!"
Everyone’s expressions were solemn as they sought guidance from the true ruler of Baishi Town.
In the silent Baishi Town,
Ji Chongtian stood on the city wall, his face stern, coldly watching everything unfold.
In this world, even with his strong power at this level, he still feared many things.
Not everything could be suppressed by sheer strength, at least not when his power was insufficient.
If there were no other law realms to test the waters,
he would directly unleash his powerful spell to try and forcefully eliminate the Great Disaster. However, the result could very well be a reversal of cause and effect, leading to him being severely injured by his own attack.
This highlights the importance of information.
In the extraordinary world, one might not fear anything, but one must always respect power!
What of the Mortal Realm?
If their grasped power was enough to kill a law realm, then they were indeed like a law realm and deserved his serious attention!
This was a force capable of allowing a mere Mortal Realm to leap over two major realms and strike down a law realm; if there was more to follow, how would he respond?
Without solving this problem, he could not personally take the risk.
He recalled everything he had seen.
As a man already two hundred years old, even confined to Baishi Town, he had weathered countless storms, and all the experiences and knowledge he had gained were not forgotten.
From standing out in his family as a youth to joining the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, and battling the Lingze Beast Tide for ten years, he had risen to become the strongest in Baishi Town, and the reason lay in his keen intuition for battle.
Seizing the smallest opportunities to turn the tide was something that was hard to learn even through life and death experiences.
But he, Ji Chongtian, was naturally endowed with this talent.
The current crisis was just one among countless crises he had faced; he would certainly continue to sweep through.
He brought his hands together.
Ji Chongtian coldly spoke:
“Spell: Great Mist Enveloping the Sky!”
As soon as he finished speaking,
dozens of miles of fog spread out, so dense that one could not see their hand in front of their face.
This was not a grand technique, nor did it possess overwhelming power; it merely served to obscure vision.
If one had to note its uniqueness, it was that it resembled a natural phenomenon, covering an enormous area.
The entire battlefield was shrouded!
“Go all out to eliminate the Great Disaster!”
Ji Chongtian soared into the air, officially joining the battle.
