Chapter 496 The Soul Lamp Goes Out!
Qingyun Mountain Market
At this moment, most of the surviving monks in the market gathered around.
Everyone gathered around the soul lamp left by Fang Heng.
At the same time, all the monks' attention and eyes were attracted by the soul lamp. They didn't want to look away even for a moment, fearing that the soul lamp would suddenly go out in the next moment.
As time went by, the joy on everyone's faces seemed to gradually spread.
"It's been an hour. It seems that Senior Fang is fine. Doesn't this mean that there is hope to break through the strange fog?"
Next to the soul lamp, a middle-aged Taoist in the late stage of Qi training couldn't help but say excitedly.
As soon as this was said, the other monks also looked happy.
As the saying goes, no news is the best news. Fang Heng had been gone for more than an hour. Although they didn't receive any news, Fang Heng's soul lamp was burning steadily as always, which meant that Fang Heng was just in a safe state. This was naturally a very gratifying good news.
However, Wei Hong's uneasiness became more and more intense at this time. He frowned and stared at the soul lamp, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this time, the soul fire that was originally burning quietly suddenly swayed.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Everyone present had been staring at the soul lamp all the time, so they naturally discovered the abnormality of the soul lamp at the first time.
Everyone's mind was slightly tense, and a trace of nervousness flashed across their faces.
They thought Fang Heng might have passed through the strange fog just now, but who knew that the soul lamp he left behind would be abnormal the next moment.
All the cultivators around stared at the soul lamp nervously, not even daring to blink.
The outer disciple of Qingyun Sect next to the soul lamp changed his face slightly, because he knew very well that if the soul fire was swaying, it meant that the owner of the soul fire was in danger. If the soul fire calmed down again, it meant that the danger had passed.
If the soul fire swayed more violently, it meant that the owner of the soul fire might really be in danger.
As expected, in less than ten breaths, the soul fire covered by the lampshade seemed to be blown by the wind, and it swayed violently from side to side, as if it was blown violently, and the flame was slowly dimming.
This scene instantly frightened the outer disciple of Qingyun Sect next to him and made his face pale.
"Could it be that... Could it be that Master Fang encountered a great danger?"
The outer disciple of Qingyun Sect muttered to himself with a pale face, and a trace of panic in his eyes.
The monks around him were all shocked at this time, and even a little confused.
"What's going on? What's going on?" The middle-aged Taoist priest who had just spoken couldn't help but question the outer disciple of Qingyun Sect: "Wasn't it fine just now? Why did the soul fire become like this now?"
"Yes, how could it be like this? Is Senior Fang in danger?"
"No, it's impossible. Senior Fang will definitely be able to get out of the strange fog!"
"No way, with Senior Fang's foundation-building cultivation, even if he can't get out of the strange fog, can't he retreat safely?"
"Shut up, don't talk, what's the point of talking about this now!"
The change in the soul fire made all the cultivators around nervous, and the joy on their faces turned into nervousness and uneasiness.
For a moment, everyone's hearts, which had been somewhat relieved, were suspended again.
"No, look, the soul fire seems to be going out!"
Suddenly someone screamed in panic!
Everyone was shocked. They saw without reminder that the orange soul fire was indeed swaying violently, and then the soul fire quickly dimmed, as if it could go out at any time.
Such an unexpected change made everyone extremely nervous.
But no one could stop it, they could only watch and pray madly in their hearts, hoping that the soul fire would not really go out.
However, the next moment, the extremely dim soul fire seemed to be blown by the wind, and it went out in an instant with a puff.
This scene without any signs made everyone who saw it change their expressions.
"It's gone? Really gone?"
The outer disciple of Qingyun Sect was struck by lightning, and his whole face was pale and he muttered to himself.
And his eyes lost all their spirit, as if he had lost his mind.
"No, it's impossible, this is impossible!"
"Oh my god, even a foundation-building cultivator like Senior Fang was killed?"
"It's over, it's completely over now, no one can escape!"
"How could this happen? Why is this happening? Even a foundation-building cultivator can't get out. When the strange fog spreads over, won't we all be buried here?"
The people present were even more panicked and panicked. Everyone couldn't help but shout loudly, some panicked and some unbelievable, as if they couldn't accept such a result at all.
Who would have thought that a foundation-building cultivator couldn't even protect his own safety?
Doesn't this mean that these Qi training cultivators will definitely die if they enter the strange fog?
Such a situation that seems to be doomed to die, such a situation where life and death are unpredictable, how can it not make everyone terrified, or even desperate?
Wei Hong's face was also solemn at this time. Although he had long anticipated this result, when this result really happened, he still felt a little heavy.
After all, he was also in this market, and he couldn't escape no matter what happened.
At this time, because Fang Heng's soul lamp was extinguished, the whole market had begun to panic, and everyone was panicking.
If the lack of news from those Qi training cultivators before was just disturbing, then Fang Heng's death now instantly magnified the anxiety in everyone's hearts to panic, so that everyone was panicked and didn't know what to do at this time!
"What should we do? What should we do now? Everyone, think of a way, if this goes on, the strange fog will spread!"
The middle-aged Taoist looked around with a panic face, eager to find a better solution.
But when he looked at it, almost everyone was silent, with only panic and uneasiness in their expressions, but no intention of talking at all.
At this time, Wei Hong couldn't help but sneered and said: "Think of a solution? What other solutions can we think of? Apart from Qingyun Sect, who here can solve this problem? Even the foundation-building cultivators have fallen into the strange fog, what can we, the Qi-cultivating cultivators, do?"
Wei Hong's words seemed to speak out the thoughts of everyone!
At the same time, a ray of light flashed through the hearts of many people who were originally panicked!
