Chapter 495 Desperate Situation, Test!

No one left

No one spoke, everyone was waiting silently.

There was no need to say more, everyone knew what they were waiting for.

Everyone was waiting for a result that would affect their stay or departure, so no one would choose to leave at this time.

The atmosphere on the scene also became quiet. While waiting, everyone's eyes flashed with various lights, and it was obvious that they all had their own little thoughts in their hearts!

Wei Hong took this opportunity to observe the people around him, and took in the expressions and reactions of many people.

In this way, in this silent atmosphere, everyone waited longer and longer.

Gradually, many people couldn't help but start to whisper, their expressions were full of anxiety, and the disappointment on their faces became more and more obvious.

After waiting for two hours, there was still no news or information coming back. Those who left the market seemed to be like a drop in the ocean, and there was no news after leaving.

At this time, a stall owner who was somewhat familiar to Wei Hong couldn't help but stand up and said, "We have waited for so long but there is no news. Are we going to wait like this?"

"Will they leave directly after breaking out of the strange fog? Maybe they didn't think of us at all?" Another person couldn't help but speculate maliciously.

"Since you can't trust others, why don't you go out and try it yourself?"

A young monk couldn't stand it and immediately opened his mouth to refute.

This statement did not get anyone's response, because these people knew very well that those who left the market before had no news so far, which was definitely not because they had broken out of the strange fog. It was more likely that they had encountered trouble, so there was no news sent back.

In this case, who would dare to continue to break into the strange fog?

For a while, a panic and uneasiness began to spread in the market.

Faced with the mysterious and dangerous strange fog, no one dared to act rashly.

After all, staying in the market can at least keep you alive, but breaking into the strange fog is not certain. Maybe you can really get out, or maybe you will be swallowed by the strangeness the next moment.

However, just when everyone was panicking, a yellow stream of light appeared in the sky above the market.

Such a conspicuous move immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Wei Hong also looked up and saw a young man wearing the standard inner door robe of Qingyun Sect. This man stepped on a yellow flying sword and looked down at the people below.

"Everyone, I am Fang Heng, an inner sect disciple of Qingyun Sect!"

The young foundation-building cultivator named Fang Heng paused for a moment, then continued to shout: "Now I will go through this strange fog, just as if I can explore the way for you. If I can get out of the strange fog safely, I will send a warning signal to notify you."

"I have left a soul lamp. If I encounter an accident in the strange fog, the soul lamp will go out. I hope you will take care of yourself!"

After saying that, Fang Heng flew out of the market on his sword, turned into a yellow stream of light and rushed away, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

It was not until this time that the cultivators in the market were in an uproar.

"What? Senior Fang is willing to explore the way for us? Senior Fang is so righteous!"

"Haha, thank you, Senior Fang. With Senior Fang's cultivation, it should not be difficult to get out of the strange fog!"

"Senior Fang Heng in the foundation-building stage? Haha, it seems that we are saved, we are saved!"

"I didn't expect that Senior Fang would be so righteous. We are so grateful!"

Looking at Fang Heng's gradually receding back, countless cultivators immediately talked about it with great gratitude.

At the same time, a glimmer of hope rose in the hearts of these people.

After all, Fang Heng is a cultivator in the foundation-building stage. His strength is much stronger than those people before. Since he is willing to break into the strange fog to explore the way, the hope is naturally much greater.

For a moment, the cultivators who were originally panicked and a little uneasy became energetic, and joy reappeared on their faces, and their eyes were full of expectations.

It can be said that Fang Heng has now become their last hope.

As for why Fang Heng, a foundation-building cultivator, chose to break into the strange fog at this time, the reason is actually very simple.

First, as a foundation-building cultivator who is in charge of the Qingyun Mountain Market, he has the responsibility to protect the market. Now the market is trapped and tens of thousands of cultivators are in crisis. As the person with the highest cultivation here, he naturally has to take the responsibility of exploring the way.

Second, Fang Heng is confident that he has a good cultivation level and thinks that even if he fails to break out of the strange fog, he should be able to return safely. Therefore, he wants to try to break through. If it is impossible, he will return.

Leaving a soul lamp is actually to reassure everyone. He doesn't think that he will really die.

Just as everyone was talking about it with hope, an outer disciple of Qingyun Sect appeared among the crowd with something in his hand.

After seeing this, everyone immediately dispersed a little and left a square of ten feet in the center for the outer disciple of Qingyun Sect.

It was because the man was holding a jade plate, in the middle of which was a bronze lamp that looked very ordinary. The wick of the lamp was burning silently, allowing everyone to see the thumb-thick orange flame that rose three inches high.

And outside the jade plate, there was a transparent lampshade, which was obviously used to prevent the wind from blowing out the lamp.

Obviously, this lamp should be the soul lamp mentioned by Fang Heng.

"Is this Senior Fang's soul lamp?" someone asked cautiously.

"Yes!"

The outer disciple of Qingyun Sect also carefully placed the jade plate on a specially brought wooden table, and then stood guard beside it without moving.

After getting a positive answer, everyone looked at the soul lamp with different eyes.

Wei Hong frowned slightly, and indeed sensed a trace of soul breath from the soul lamp.

"Leaving soul lamps should be a habit of all major sects, right?" Wei Hong thought secretly in his heart.

From whether the soul lamp is burning or extinguished, the life and death of the person can be known, so the sect generally allows cultivators above the foundation-building stage to leave a soul lamp to judge the life and death of the sect cultivators.

Wei Hong secretly admired the senior Fang Heng in his heart. He dared to break into the strange fog at this time. No matter what he was thinking, at least his starting point was good.

But at the same time, he was not optimistic about Fang Heng's outcome. If the strange fog was so easy to break through, why would so many cultivators be so terrified of it, and why would even the Jindan ancestor of Qingyun Sect return to the sect?

To be honest, Wei Hong even had a premonition that the soul lamp might go out soon.

"I hope it won't be as I expected!"

Wei Hong sighed secretly in his heart!
