Chapter 321: Pathfinder Monsters (1)

　　At 10 o’clock sharp, the skies darkened and the clouds began to churn. Terrifying bolts of lightning flashed through the sky, while menacing booms of thunder sent all forms of life cowering in fear. They wept and lamented; almost as if they could feel the oncoming catastrophe.

　　The players gathered at Soundwave Temple raised their heads to look past the ocean's water and towards the stormy skies above them, and a feeling of solemness washed over them. The calm ocean waters began to roil, and a large shadow suddenly appeared in the sky, painting a scene like the one back at Eight Trigrams Field. The six Sect Leaders and Four Guardians of the Southern Sea, along with Zhang Wudi, stood at the vanguard of the battle line. Behind them was Bai Hua, the Guardian's disciples, and the six Lead Disciples. Further behind them stood the players and NPCs from the Six Great Sects.

　　“They're here, ready yourselves!” Distant Tyrant of the Mara Hall was the first to speak. His voice was loud and distinct, clearly making its way towards everyone present. It was actually a little too loud and caused Shen Jingbin and company's ears' to throb in pain.

　　In that instant, the telltale light of various skills being activated could be seen. Everyone began buffing themselves and summoning their battle pets. Gentle Flower added a few more buffs to her companions, while Shen Jingbin summoned her four Divine Beasts.

　　The moment they appeared, the Four Divine Beasts took on their original form; the sacred inviolable Azure Dragon, the murderous White Tiger, the Vermillion Bird whose body was surrounded by fireb.a.l.l.s, and the benevolent Black Tortoise who always carried itself in a dignified manner. Each of the Four Divine Beasts took their positions to form a protective circle around Shen Jingbin.

　　The players who were nearby all sighed in shock and admiration.

　　The faint roar of wild beasts could be heard from the ocean's surface.

　　Poison Toad immediately began issuing commands when the sound of heavy objects. .h.i.tting the water could be heard. "Disciples of the Lich Palace, heed my command: activate the barrier!"

　　“Yes!” Answered the Lich Palace players and NPCs in unison. They then began forming mudras with their hands, and an enormous golden dome appeared on top of everyone's heads, enveloping the entirety of Soundwave Temple and the surrounding areas.
