Everyone was looking up, watching with fear and confusion on their faces. The girl floating above them was foaming at the mouth, her eyes were completely white, and blood was coming from her nose and ears. The sky rumbled, thunder roared, lightning continued crackling in the sky, and strong winds blew. Dark clouds gathered and started raining an ominous black water. Far in the distant sky, a huge black dragon could be seen roaring and looking at the girl with a murderous look in it's eyes.
"Oh heavens... this is not something i can deal with"
a well-built old man muttered as he dropped down to his knees, looking up at the roaring dragon with a fearful look.
"Thi... this... just what is happening to my Lian'er?"
A fat unsightly man wearing fancy clothes cried in fear as he looked up at the girl with confused look.
"Heavens forgive us."
"Heavens forgive us."
"Heavens forgive us."
All the people cried out in fear and dropped down on their knees, kowtowing. They had no idea what was happening, but they felt that if they did this, then maybe they wouldn't be reduced to ashes. This is how people are, when they're struck with hardships and uncertainty, they begin looking up at the sky and begging.
As if it didn't even hear the people below begging for mercy, the black dragon opened its huge mouth and started sucking in white smoke from its surroundings.
The black dragon closed its mouth once it seemed satisfied with the amount of white smoke it had sucked in. it roared ferociously as it shot a blinding white light from its mouth toward the girl.
All the people below were horrified. Some began running in fear, some crawled away on all fours because their legs gave out. They knew better than to idle around. If they stayed there, they would also be caught up in the attack aimed at the girl.
But the blinding light never arrived and struck the girl. It Instead turned into white smoke and started dissipating in the air. The black rain and lightnings in the sky abruptly stopped. The sky slowly cleared, turning back into it's beautiful blue color.
The huge black dragon was nowhere to be seen, as if it had all just been an illusion. The people on the ground looked at each other in confusion. Nobody spoke a word for a long moment. Some let out a sigh of relief as they cleared the sweat from their foreheads.
But the girl kept floating in the air, still foaming at the mouth and bleeding from the ears and nose. Her body started shaking violently. A huge amount of white light and jade-green light started rushing toward the girl's abdomen. After about the time it takes to break an egg, both the white light and the jade green light disappeared. Just then, an extremely handsome middle-aged man flew down from the sky. Everyone looked at him bewildered.
"...immortal master..." cried out the well-built old man, fear evident on his face
"immortal master?" "Immortals exist?"
"I've never heard about immortals." "Is he truly an immortal master?"
All the people present were shocked and mystified, and wondered if the handsome middle-aged man who came out of nowhere was truly an immortal master.
"Lian'er!"
cried out the fat man at the girl floating in the air. The handsome middle-aged man did not pay any attention to the people below, but sat cross-legged in the air next to the girl.
"Seems it was a success. Brother Zhao...
The handsome middle-aged man muttered to himself as he placed his left index finger close to the girl's mouth.
"You, what are you doing to my Lian'er? How dare you!"
The middle-aged man immediately stopped his actions and looked down toward the man who yelled at him.
"It seems I've been disrespectful toward you. Please forgive me, brother."
The middle-aged man put his right fist on his left palm, asking the fat man for forgiveness in a pleasant manner. All the people below could only watch as the handsome middle-aged man showed humility. In just this short sentence, he caught the hearts of the people below, and they somehow felt bad for him as they looked toward the fat man as if he was the problem. All the horrifying things that had happened just now went through the back of their heads, and they were sympathizing with the handsome man.
"Who are you, and what's happening to my Lian'er?"
The fat man yelled at the handsome middle-aged man again; spit could be seen coming from his mouth as he yelled. Some of the people below looked at the fat man with disgust in their eyes.
"Your daughter is fine. She's chosen by the heavens. I, Haoran, have decided to take your daughter as my disciple."
The middle-aged man spoke in a captivating way toward the fat man.
"Chosen by the heavens? What bullshit—"
Just as the fat man was about to continue speaking, the middle-aged man reached into his sleeve and threw something toward the fat man.
"What are—"
The fat man was startled but caught the thing with both hands before it fell to the ground. The fat man cautiously looked at the middle-aged man who was hovering in the air.
"Please, brother..."
The middle-aged man did not explain what the thing was, but let the fat man explore it on his own. After looking at the middle-aged man cautiously, the fat man started exploring what was thrown at him, A brilliant light flashed past the fat man's eyes as he explored the thing
"This... hehe"
"Brother Haoran, there's nothing more of a blessing than an immortal master taking my Lian'er as his disciple. This is truly a blessing from the heavens."
The fat man immediately changed his tone and spoke to the man as he kowtowed, All the people could do was watch with disdain in their eyes. They had known this person for a long time and had already become aware of the situation that had unfolded before their eyes. There were no surprises in their eyes.
"I'm glad you understand, brother. Now then..."
After dealing with the fat man, the middle-aged man looked toward the girl. A grin appeared on his lips, both the middle-aged man and the girl disappeared from the place.
