Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved-Chapter 640 - 619: One More Update

The sudden storm caught everyone off guard, and by the time they reacted, they were already powerless to resist. Zong Yunqian and Master Yu Sheng were flung out by the enormous gust of wind instantly, without the slightest chance to fight back.

Not to mention the disciples of Qiandao Temple, three of whom were injured and suddenly stopped breathing.

Only then did everyone realize that this was no ordinary storm, accompanied by a thunderous roar that sounded like a group of furious tigers.

The next moment, Master Huo Yi was also toppled to the ground by the fierce wind, and the young boy in his arms was thrown into the air before falling like a broken doll onto the ground.

"Master——"

"Master——" Master Yu Sheng first grabbed hold of a large tree, and immediately saw Master Huo Yi knocked over by the wind, his wide robe billowing as if it could lift the person on the ground into the air at any moment.

"Master——" Master Yu Sheng struggled to move forward, but more dead branches and broken tree trunks came his way. Smaller trunks were even uprooted, and Master Yu Sheng watched anxiously, knowing that casting spells took time, which he simply did not have.

However, just then, Master Huo Yi suddenly sat up. His movement was stiff, like a puppet on strings, but strangely, he didn’t fall down again in the storm but slowly stood up.

Master Yu Sheng spotted a thicker tree trunk ahead, took a deep breath, and with all his might, moved towards it, finally grasping the sturdier trunk. The trunk blocked some of the wild wind, allowing him to catch his breath.

Master Yu Sheng looked around and saw that Zong Yunqian had also grabbed hold of a tree trunk, was now recovering, and preparing to move towards Master Huo Yi, intending to avoid any more accidents. First, they needed to confirm whether Yin He on the ground was indeed dead.

Once the distance was close enough, Master Yu Sheng nodded at Zong Yunqian. As long as Zong Yunqian rushed out, if he couldn’t resist, at least he could grab hold of him when being thrown out.

Moreover, although the master looked strange, he was still standing up fine, right in the middle of the wild wind.

Just as Zong Yunqian was about to dash out, the wind suddenly changed direction, sweeping screams and cries toward them; before they could react, countless people suddenly shot out of the sky. Looking closely, they were the Imperial Forest Guard and Ju Nanyi among others, who had already retreated. Their bodies were uncontrollably pushed towards them by the wind, some rolling on the ground, some a foot off the ground, and others even unluckier, continuously being hit by tree branches extending from the sides of the road.

Zong Yunqian was momentarily puzzled; this wind...

He knew there was something eerie about the wind, but it was as if the wind had sentience, capriciously changing direction, apparently under someone’s control. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The next moment, Zong Yunqian immediately turned to his master, and sure enough, his master still maintained a standing posture, seemingly unaffected by the wind, as if he was looking at something ahead.

Zong Yunqian focused his gaze and suddenly noticed, not far in front of them, a mass of black smoke, confirming his suspicion that the wind was being controlled by someone. Moreover, the presence of the newcomer was so oppressive, so powerful that it made it almost certain that the pressure was not something any one person could exert.

So, who could it be? Zong Yunqian’s mind suddenly conjured an image of someone, and just as the answer was about to be revealed, the wind abruptly stopped.

The wind stopped strangely, without any warning, as if everything that had just happened hadn’t occurred at all, except for the mess on the ground proving that it had not been an illusion.

"What happened?"

"What’s going on?" Nanny Yun had just been blown to Zong Yunqian’s feet, mud-covered but undeterred, she quickly got up and asked.

Zong Yunqian had the feeling that this group of people had been blown here by the wind, which stopped as soon as they arrived.

But reason told him that this was absolutely impossible; the other party must have come for Qiandao Temple.

Ju Nanyi quickly stood up and cast a glance to ensure none of their people were injured. Xing Yu had already helped Zheng Nianru up, while Nian Xia cursed the sudden and strange wind.

Ju Nanyi felt the situation was not so simple, yet at that moment, he could not grasp what was happening in the courtyard.

"Nanny Yun, that..." Xing Yu, with sharp eyes, saw Yin He lying on the ground lifeless, as if discarded there, without a trace of being alive.

Zheng Nianru, who was fixing her hair, froze and looked at Yin He. She had thought... at least she thought the wind was...

"Yin He?" Zheng Nianru, no longer caring about her hair that had come loose or the shoe she had lost at some unknown moment, paid no attention, walking slowly towards what lay ahead.

Ju Nanyi’s expression darkened. He had obviously noticed Yin He’s lifeless body on the ground, and he didn’t stop her from approaching, letting her face the reality sooner... perhaps it was for the best.

"Yin He—" Zheng Nianru was dazed. She had never doubted Yin He would deceive her because Yin He never lied to her.

"Nanny Yun—" Nian Xia hurried after her. Yin He... was dead?

With each step Zheng Nianru took, her heart sank deeper into an abyss. The feeling of Yin He being dead grew stronger. This was not the outcome she wanted. If Yin He was dead, what would happen to Zheng Congyuan? What would happen to her Zheng Congyuan?

"Yin He—" Zheng Nianru called out, reluctant to accept it.

"Yin He—" Xing Yu’s face wore even more sorrow. She always had an indescribable feeling towards Yin He, as if a kinship.

Zheng Nianru had reached Yin He’s side, and seizing the opportunity, Zong Yunqian and Master Yu Sheng had rapidly joined Master Huo Yi. They saw he was still staring straight ahead.

"Master—" The two exchanged glances but said no more; there were others here, and they could be sure of it. They just didn’t understand why the enemy hadn’t yet revealed themselves.

"Hahahaha—" Just then a wild laugh broke out. Everyone instantly looked up toward the source of the laughter, except for Zheng Nianru.

It was indeed that patch of dark clouds.

The atmosphere in the courtyard instantly tensed up. Without changing his expression, Ju Nanyi glanced at the three mages. He clearly felt that the situation had spiraled out of everyone’s control. Now, it was uncertain who was really controlling the situation.

"Hahahaha—" The laughter continued unabated, showing no sign of stopping, and grew louder and closer. The dark clouds that approached with the laughter had reached above their heads, and the black smoke instantly enveloped everyone’s view.

Zheng Nianru paid no attention to any of it, her mind preoccupied with one thought: how could Yin He be dead?

Even in a past life, Zheng Congyuan would not have met death so swiftly.
