Chapter 584 - Crimson Sky

"I have never seen anything like this before." Sebastian continued speaking, "Although there were times when the sky looked red, it never looked this red, like the sky is stained with blood."

"Brother Yuan… Do you think this is caused by the calamity?" Chu Liuxiang asked him in a worried voice.

"I don't know, but it's very possible. Let's hurry and find the grand elders." Yuan suggested.

Thus, they began running to the Wang Family's living quarters since they were the closest to the immortal caves.

On their way there, they passed through many disciples, and all of them were staring at the sky with dazed looks on their faces.

"Heavens… It's almost like doomsday is upon us…" One of them muttered out loud.

"This must be the calamity our ancestors warned us about! The calamity is coming!"

"Ahhhh! I don't want to die! At least wait until I find a cute girlfriend!"

Everyone in the Jaded Garden appeared to be panicking, but nobody blamed them.

In fact, it was a chaotic scene everywhere around the world at this moment.

Right as Yuan and the others arrived at the Wang Family, they noticed Senior Wang and the Wang Siblings leaving the gates.

"Senior Wang!" Yuan called out to her.

"Daoist Yuan! Perfect timing! Come with me!" Senior Wang said to him.

"Are we going to meet with the others?" Yuan asked her as they moved.

"Yes. Everyone is already aware of the situation."

Senior Wang then led Yuan and the others to where they had a meeting about the calamity just a few days ago.

As for the audience, it was much larger this time with other people such as Li Jinxi and Shi Lang being present.

"Elder Wang! What's the situation with the crystal?!" Senior Hong asked her the moment they arrived.

"I don't know yet. I haven't had the time to look at it, but we'll all know the answer soon."

Senior Wang then retrieved the box that contained the crystal, and she placed it on the table before opening it for everyone there to see.

"T-That's…"

The people there immediately frowned the next moment when they saw that the color of the crystal had turned completely red.

"When did this happen?" Senior Li asked.

"We have been checking the crystal daily every since it turned yellow, but it wasn't like this yesterday, so I can only assume that it'd turned red very recently." Senior Wang said.

"Sh*t… Not only is the crystal red, but even the sky had turned red!" Someone there cursed.

"Do we know if there are any changes in the world besides the sky changing colors?" Senior Shi asked.

"I have been looking at the news since I woke up, but only the red sky is being reported on. Even now, there is no other news." Senior Xi said.

"Fuck! This is so frustrating! The calamity is almost here if not already here, yet we still don't know anything about it! How can we possibly deal with a situation like this?" The head of the Wang Family cursed out loud.

"For all we know, the calamity could happen on the other side of the world." The head of the Shi Family sighed.

"Somebody bring all of the ancient scrolls over here! We're going to search through all of them and see if there are any clues that we had missed!" Senior Hong suddenly said.

About an hour later, the empty table became filled with ancient scrolls that had been passed down by their ancestors, and they began reading through the scrolls, hoping to find even a single clue about the calamity.

However, after spending half of the day reading through all of the scrolls, they were unable to find any new information.

"It's no use. We will have to wait for the calamity to actually start before we can even start preparing for it." Senior Wang placed the scroll in her hands down before sighing.

"Is there really nothing we can do but wait? What if it's too late by then?" Wang Ming sighed out loud.

"Then do you have any suggestion?" Li Jinxi said to him. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novelenglish.net . Firᴇ

"I don't…" He lowered his head.

Eventually, the gathering was dismissed.

"There is nothing we can do but remain alert. If there is any news regarding the calamity, let one of the grand elders or family head know about it immediately." Senior Wang said to them before dismissing everyone.

Yuan and the others returned to the immortal caves shortly after.

When they returned home, Meixiu received a call from Yu Rou.

"Meixiu! Are you guys okay?!" Yu Rou's worried voice resounded the moment she picked up the phone.

"Yes, we're fine. What about you?" Meixiu said.

"We're also fine, but the red sky is scaring all of us. I cannot help but feel like something bad is about to happen."

"Well…" Meixiu proceeded to give Yu Rou a brief explanation about the situation and the potential calamity that is coming.

"What? A calamity? What's going to happen?" Yu Rou asked, sounding more worried than before she heard the information, and rightfully so.

"Unfortunately, that's all we know. As for the calamity, we won't know until it happens." Meixiu said.

"I really hope it's nothing too bad." Yu Rou sighed.

After talking with Meixiu and Yuan for a few minutes, Yu Rou hung up, as she and the other disciples had been summoned by White Lotus to talk about the current situation.

And for the rest of the day, they would remain inside their immortal caves, patiently waiting for the calamity to show itself.

However, to everyone's absolute surprise, the crimson sky disappeared the following day.

"Does this mean that the calamity had passed, or was it simply a warning?" Yuan mumbled in a low voice.

He also went to the back of the immortal caves to see if Azure would be there like usual, but alas, she was nowhere to be seen.

"How should I respond to her confession?" Yuan sat there and silently pondered to himself until sunrise.

And just as he prepared to return to the immortal caves, another earthquake appeared, and it would last a tad bit longer than the last one, not to mention a little stronger as well.
