The Purple-Robed Celestial Master has turned into a zombie?! Who can stand that?!

Chapter 245 The Celestial Master Arrives, Yet Failure Remains
The sword mark that Xuanzhen Celestial Master had just made with his magic sword was slowly healing in the sky, and the thick black clouds in the sky were also gathering again.

The rain in Panshan City only stopped for a short while before returning to normal and continuing.

At first it was just a light drizzle, but it quickly turned into a torrential downpour.

Many viewers watching the live stream were also stunned.

"This...it failed?"

"How could this be? Even the Dragon Tiger Celestial Master himself failed? Is this some kind of ghost?"

"Would a Taoist priest be any good?"

"Stop barking like a dog. Didn't you just see the sky being cleaved in two? If this isn't enough, there's definitely something wrong. If you keep barking like a dog, why don't you go and do something yourself?"

Some people in the live stream thought that Master Xuanzhen was no good, but they were quickly criticized by others.

The Heavenly Master's sword cleaved the sky, yet the rain still wouldn't stop, indicating there must be other problems involved.

There was a minor mishap, and they started barking like a dog, saying the Taoist priest was no good. It's truly disgusting.

So it's no wonder people are criticizing them.

Master Xuanzhen had no time to pay attention to what was being said in the live stream chat.

He ignored the whispers of the people around him.

He frowned as he looked at the sky.

Even the Celestial Master Xuanzhen couldn't understand why he had failed.

Logically speaking, I followed the proper procedures: writing documents, communicating with the Thunder Department, reaching the Heavenly Court, and presenting them to the Jade Emperor.

Then they ordered the rain to stop.

The entire process was followed flawlessly.

Normally, even a major flood should stop the rain, so why is there this problem today? Why can't the rain stop?
Xuanzhen couldn't figure out where things had gone wrong.
So, Master Xuanzhen went through the process again.

This time he was even more serious, and once again cleaved through the dark clouds with his sword.

The thick, dark clouds were cut open once again.

And just like last time, the storm only lasted for less than a minute.

It started raining again in Panshan City, like a torrential downpour from the heavens, and it couldn't be stopped.

The rain failed to stop twice in a row.

Xuanzhen Celestial Master sensed that something was wrong.

So he telepathically informed the Celestial Master about the situation in Panshan City.

On the mountain,

Zhang Tianlu has just refined several Dutian Banners.

Immediately afterwards, he received a telepathic message from Xuanzhen.

Xuanzhen told him about what had happened in Panshan City.

Big earthquake?
The torrential rain won't stop?
Zhang Tianlu asked Xuanzhen if he had followed the procedure.
Xuanzhen stated that he had followed the procedure exactly, and had even done it twice. Stopping the rain was just a minor ritual among the many high-level Taoist spells.

Xuanzhen mastered even the most complex and difficult-to-learn Dragon Tiger Thunder Technique, and cultivated it to perfection.

It's impossible for such a simple technique as stopping the rain to go wrong.

Moreover, he performed the procedure twice, following the proper process twice, making it even less likely that he would make a mistake.

After listening, Zhang Tianlu said he understood.

If Xuanzhen is correct, then the problem lies with Panshan City.

A system notification sounded in Zhang Tianlu's ear.

"New mission issued: Go to Panshan City to investigate the earthquake and rainstorm issues, find out the cause, and solve the problem. Rewards include [Twelve Capitals Heavenly Flag - Gonggong Flag], [Twelve Capitals Heavenly Flag - Rushou Flag], [Purple Heavenly Thunder], and 5000 million points!"

He heard the new task being issued.

It seems the system also wants him to make a trip to Panshan City.

Zhang Tianlu told Xuanzhen to wait where he was, and that he would come to check on the situation later.

Zhang Tianlu set off directly.

He stood on the back of the Roc Demon King with his subordinates.

With a flap of its wing, the Peng Demon King instantly teleported from the mountain towards Panshan City, where Xuanzhen was located.

The Peng Demon King possesses the bloodline of the ancient Peng.

The ancient roc, with a single wingspan, could travel ninety thousand miles.

With his current cultivation level, Peng Demon King can basically achieve this speed as well.

Therefore, it won't take it long to fly to Panshan City.

Xuanzhen had just finished transmitting his message when Zhang Tianlu arrived.

A colossal black roc blotted out the sky, and everyone looked up at the massive black roc demon that had suddenly appeared overhead. These ordinary people had never seen anything like it before.
Their faces changed drastically, as if they had seen a ghost.

"A monster? Holy crap!!"

"Run!"

These ordinary people were terrified, thinking that some kind of demon had descended, and immediately panicked and ran away in all directions.

The Celestial Master Xuanzhen transmitted his voice in all directions, reassuring the people not to panic.

This roc is the mount of their ancestral celestial master of Longhu Mountain; it is not a mountain spirit and will not harm people.

Only after Xuanzhen Tianshi said this did the crowd feel relieved.

I almost thought some kind of monster that could devour the heavens and the earth had come.

Zhang Tianlu descended from the sky.

Then the black roc demon also transformed into human form and landed.

Xuanzhen Celestial Master did not expect that the Ancestral Celestial Master would arrive so quickly; this teleportation speed was truly frightening.

After arriving at the scene, Zhang Tianlu took a look at the dark clouds over Panshan City.

Then I took another look at the ritual site that Master Xuanzhen had just set up.

Hei Yun didn't see any problems for the time being, and the ritual site set up by Xuanzhen Tianshi was also fine.

It was indeed done according to the proper Taoist procedure for stopping the rain.

But often, the things that seem to have no problems are the ones that contain the biggest problems.

If everything is fine, then why can't the rain stop?
Zhang Tianlu told Xuanzhen to step aside.

He decided to try it himself.

Zhang Tianlu cast a spell on the spot, stopping the rain with a single move, without even needing an altar.

Draw symbols directly in the void.

Several talismans were cast into the sky above Panshan City.

"Hurry up as a law!"

"Disperse!!!"

Zhang Tianlu swung his corpse claw, causing his purple robe to flutter loudly.

Use talismanic spells to forcibly dispel the dark clouds.

However, to Zhang Tianlu's surprise, he couldn't move the dark cloud.
Logically speaking, even if this dark cloud weighed tens of thousands of tons, Zhang Tianlu should be able to move it easily with his current cultivation level.

But these dark clouds themselves couldn't be moved in the slightest, as if they were embedded in the sky.

Zhang Tianlu frowned.

This is impossible.

The proper procedures couldn't stop the rain, and his own methods couldn't drive away the dark clouds either.

There must be something fishy going on.

Zhang Tianlu snorted coldly, and the next second he stepped into the air and transformed into a streak of light, rushing into Panshan City.

He wanted to go into Panshan City to see what was going on inside!

In a neighboring city of Panshan, the entire event was broadcast live, featuring Taoist Master Xuanzhen and Master Zu. Despite the two masters taking turns to intervene, the rain could not be stopped.

This incident quickly went viral online and became a trending topic.

"#Dragon and Tiger Celestial Masters' attempt to stop the rain failed, heavy rain continues in Panshan City."

"#Even the arrival of the Ancestral Celestial Master could not stop the rain; Panshan City is facing a once-in-a-millennium calamity."

"#The Celestial Master has entered Panshan City, and his current situation is unknown."

"#Mifo Temple issued a notice stating that the abbot of Mifo Temple will go to Panshan City to check on the situation, with the aim of stopping the rain!"

"#Buddhism speaks out, there may still be hope!"

……

The two Taoist masters tried to stop the rain, but they couldn't.

At this critical juncture, many netizens in China felt a deep sense of despair.

Is the torrential rain in Panshan City never going to stop?

So much time has passed since the earthquake, and countless victims are still trapped inside.

The fact that the storms and rains continue means that supplies cannot be delivered.

If supplies can't get in and rescue workers can't get in, how many people will die?
