554 Heavy Rain (Part 2)
Hu Qiushui glanced at Huang Mengqing before running away.
She suspected that these nails were set up to form an array formation. As long as she could move some of them, the effect of the array formation would not be as strong.
It was impossible to dig out all the nails and it was already good enough to weaken the array formation.
Huang Mengqing looked at the fox that ran away and was a little disappointed. After going to the toilet, he went back to sleep.
On the twentieth of October, the sky was dark.
After a few sunny days, the sky was overcast again. It looked like it was going to rain. Such weather made people feel gloomy.
There was no one on the street. Seeing that it was about to rain, nobody was in the mood to go out. After all, they did not know when it would rain. If they went out, they would definitely be drenched, so it was better not to step out.
The black clouds gathered slowly, causing the sky to completely darken. The entire sky became black, making countless people feel vaguely uneasy.
As soon as noon arrived, bean-sized raindrops fell and began to come down heavily. On the street, several teams of soldiers rushed out of the city. The one in the lead shouted in the rain. “Hurry up. The commoners are still waiting for us to save them. Run faster.”
The rain was heavy, and the water on the street gradually formed long streams.
The magistrate of Jiangzhou, Yuan Xin, was giving frantic orders. Looking at the puddles in the courtyard, everyone’s hearts sank. It looked like there was going to be a huge flood.
Xia Hongyuan’s expression was dark while Xia Qiluo frowned. She was very puzzled. Why was there still so much water when the flood dragon was dead and the resentment had dissipated?
“Brother, this might just be a normal rain,” said Xia Qiluo, not feeling confident at all.
Xia Hongyuan also hoped that this was a normal phenomenon, but seeing that the downpour was getting heavier, he still felt uneasy.
Xia Hongming brought his men over with a solemn expression. “Magistrate Yuan, the flood today is strange. It’s definitely not a coincidence. I already know what’s going on. The death of the flood dragon was caused by someone, so the resentment won’t dissipate unless we find the culprit and give the flood dragon justice. Miss Liu already has a way to resolve it. Please come with me and be a witness.”
Yuan Xin looked at Xia Hongming and had an ominous feeling. He nodded. “Third Prince, please lead the way. No matter who it is, as long as they can save Jiangzhou, the people of the entire Jiangzhou will remember it.”
During the two months when Jiangzhou was plagued by floods, the rain had never been so big. Now, it was coming down fiercely. In less than four hours, half of Jiangzhou would be submerged in water.
Xia Hongming led the way in the rain.
The rain poured down, and everything in sight was blurry.
As soon as a person walked into the rain, they would be drenched within a second.
Xia Hongyuan gritted his teeth. “Let’s follow and take a look!”
Xia Qiluo frowned and followed them into the rain.
It started to rain at noon. It had only been fifteen minutes, but the water level in the city had already reached their ankles.
Hu Yu felt extremely uneasy. “When are we leaving?”
The heavy rain scared her. She only wanted to go to her mother’s side as soon as possible.
Liu Yuanyuan looked at the sky and frowned. “Venerable Liu, there’s a lightning tribulation today.”
They all knew who was going to experience the lightning tribulation.
Hu Yu knelt down in front of Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, please save my mother.”
Liu Sanniang held the jar while Chu Yan went to get the carriage. Liu Sanniang said to Hu Yu, “Let’s go.”
Liu Yuanyuan also wanted to go along. Although Su Yanyu was afraid, he felt that he could not chicken out at this moment. Liu Sanniang looked at Liu Yuanyuan. “You stay. You’re using her body, so don’t go. Lord Su, you stay back too.”
Liu Yuanyuan gritted her teeth. “Venerable, I’m not afraid.”
Liu Sanniang shook her head. “You have your mission. Although your cultivation is far inferior to hers, you can treat water. You have to sense carefully to see if anyone needs your help. If so, go with Lord Su to save them.”
Liu Yuanyuan understood and stopped insisting.
Su Yanyu nodded. “Miss Liu, don’t worry. We’ll do our best.”
Hu Yu jumped into the carriage, and General Black also jumped in. Chu Yan drove the carriage.
The carriage stopped outside Huang Ranshi’s house. Liu Sanniang got out of the carriage and went forward to knock on the door.
As soon as Hu Yu approached, she could feel a force stopping her.
Hu Qiushui said in a muffled voice, “Yu, listen to me. Go back to the mountain.”
A few foxes walked over and said to Hu Yu, “Miss, come with us.”
Hu Yu flared up instantly. “I’m not leaving. Leave if you want. I’ll hit whoever dares to stop me.”
Hu Yu showed her claws.
The foxes were anxious.
Hu Qiushui’s voice came again. “Miss Liu, please take my daughter away. Huang Ranshi is not an ordinary person. You can’t deal with him. He’s too ambitious. He actually doesn’t want to become an immortal alone. He wants his entire family to become immortal. The entire Huang family is being protected by an array formation. I’m going to die here today.”
At the end of her sentence, Hu Qiushui’s voice was filled with despair.
As soon as the rain came, she knew that her lightning tribulation was coming. She watched as Huang Ranshi lit an incense stick. The resentment on her body dissipated, and her power was increasing.
She even had a feeling that she would definitely be able to survive this tribulation, but after she survived it, it would be her death.
However, she could not move or stop the power from surging into her body.
When Hu Yu heard Hu Qiushui’s words and felt her anguish, she cried and slammed the door crazily. As soon as her claws pierced into the wooden door, they were burned.
She shouted helplessly from outside the door. “Mother, Mother, I’m not leaving. I’m not leaving.”
Hu Yu was a demon, so the array formation could hurt her. Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan were humans. The array formation could not hurt them, but the indestructible door could not be opened either.
There was the sound of footsteps.
Xia Hongming walked over and saw Liu Sanniang. He said, “Miss Liu, we’re here.”
Yuan Xin immediately got someone to surround the Huang family.
Yuan Xin looked at Xia Hongming and then at Liu Sanniang, asking. “Is there a problem with this family?”
Liu Sanniang nodded and knocked on the door again.
An old voice came from inside. “Stop knocking. If I don’t open the door, you won’t be able to enter.”
Xia Hongming instructed his people. “Bang the door.”
The soldiers began to bang the door, but no matter how hard they tried, the ordinary-looking wooden door wasn’t damaged at all.
