Because of the huge spiritual energy fluctuation just now, even the First Elder of the Shen family also benefited from the disaster. He broke free from the shackles and fell to
the ground without any personal image. However, on the other hand, the others were also in a sorry state. It was really sudden and caught them unprepared.
The City Lord hurriedly asked, “Everyone is not injured, right?”
Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they were all fine. “We didn’t even activate our spiritual power just now. How could there be such a sudden movement?”
“It seems to be coming from inside.”
“Look! The Mountain Protection Array seems to have been removed.”
No one knew who cried out in alarm. Only then did everyone realize that the Mountain Protection Array seemed to be disappearing. Someone tried to touch it with his
spiritual power, but the resistance from before was completely gone. It was so easy to probe inside.
The City Lord guessed, “It seems that something has changed inside, which is why the Mountain Protection Array can no longer hold on. We must all be careful. We must
not act rashly.”
Everyone nodded, indicating that they would pay attention. Only then did the group carefully enter.
Along the way, they did not see any Alchemist Association disciples. It was different from the intense battle that they had imagined happening or the scene of corpses
strewn all over the ground.
The entire association was extremely quiet, as if no one existed. It made people inexplicably feel a little flustered. There must be something strange behind this abnormality.
Everyone became even more cautious, so much so that their hearts were in their throats.
“Why can’t we see a single disciple? Where did they all go?”
“Didn’t the demon appear here? Logically speaking, they should be encircling the demon. This silence is obviously not normal. Could it be that all of them have met with
misfortune?”
Everyone’s hearts thumped, and they had a bad premonition.
The City Lord frowned. “That’s unlikely. President He’s strength is not low. Moreover, there are other elders and disciples of the Alchemist Association here. The demon is
seriously injured after escaping. He still needs some time to recover. It’s impossible for him to go on a killing spree.”
Even though he said so, his expression was not relaxed. He suddenly felt a vague fluctuation coming from ahead.
“Let’s go over there and take a look!”
The others also felt it and hurriedly quickened their steps. That direction was precisely where the Alchemist Association’s forbidden area was located.
After everyone clearly saw the scene in front of them, they were completely stunned on the spot.
The mountain range toppled over, and the walls were in ruins. It was as if even the sky had collapsed.
The once majestic mountain peak now only had a small portion left. It was like a bare tree stump on the ground. Even the few mountain peaks next door had suffered as
well. They collapsed and were on the verge of collapsing. The ground was covered in rubble.
It was hard to imagine what had happened here to create such a scene. It was simply too shocking.
“The mountain pass is broken in an uneven manner. It shouldn’t be man-made. It seems to have disintegrated from the inside.”
The more they looked, the more they felt that it was strange. After all, such a huge mountain peak had stood here for a hundred years. It would be difficult for it to collapse
unless humans intervened. However, from the situation at the scene, it seemed to have collapsed from the inside.
There hadn’t been an earthquake before this. Even if it had happened, it wouldn’t have caused the mountain to collapse into such a state. It was really unbelievable.
“Maybe it’s the work of that demon.”
“Now is not the time to pursue this matter. Hurry up and see where He Qingyuan and the others are.”
Everyone hurriedly searched for them. Finally, they saw He Qingyuan and the others who had fainted on the ground not far from the foot of the mountain. The protective
spiritual power on their bodies flickered with a weak light, and there were many falling rocks around them. Otherwise, they would have long been smashed into meat paste
by these falling rocks.
“President He, please wake up.”
The City Lord and the others hurriedly sent spiritual power to He Qingyuan and the others. Fortunately, they were not seriously injured. After a moment, they slowly
opened their eyes and said with some surprise, “City Lord!”
“We rushed over when we received your message. However, we were blocked by the Mountain Protection Array outside at the beginning, so we delayed some time.”
Hearing this, He Qingyuan was extremely surprised. “Then how did you guys get in?”
“It’s a shame. We tried all kinds of methods, but none of them worked. In the end, we were ready to gather everyone’s strength. Who would have thought that the Mountain
rotection Array would disappear by itself? When we came in, this was what we saw.”
He Qingyuan seemed to have thought of something and quickly looked around. Unfortunately, he didn’t see Lin Bai’s shadow. He asked anxiously, “Where’s the demon?”
Everyone looked at each other. “We didn’t see Lin Bai when we came here. Could it be that he has already escaped? What happened to you guys before? Why did Lin Bai
appear here in the Alchemist Association?”
“I heard that Lin Bai was a disciple of the Alchemist Association before?”
Hearing this sentence, He Qingyuan’’s heart skipped a beat. He was afraid that everyone would misunderstand the relationship between him and Lin Bai, and he was even
more worried that people would think that he deliberately let Lin Bai go.
He quickly explained, “I don’t know how he appeared here either. Earlier, | heard from my disciples that there was a strange movement in the mountain. We quickly came
over to check it out. We didn’t expect Lin Bai to suddenly appear from here. After a fierce battle, it became what you see now.”
The other disciples also nodded in agreement.
“That demon is really cunning. He thinks the most dangerous place should be the safest place. Right now, we’re searching the entire city. He can’t get out, so he’s hiding
here.”
What he said made sense. After all, who would have thought that Lin Bai would come to the Alchemist Association instead of finding a way out of the city..
