Silence prevailed throughout the Silver Mist City after two back-to-back explosions.
The preparator, Wang Yao, had already disappeared.
And now, only the half destroyed city remained.
Remaining cultivators didn't dare to come close - they had already sensed many Core Formation Realm cultivator auras and even the legendary Sword Saint cultivator had made an appearance.
At first they were very curious, but when the explosions destroyed half of the city, they understood it very clearly - whoever those high realm cultivators were, they didn't give a damn about the lives of people in the city.
This was why, everyone subconsciously decided to not go forward for some time.
There might still be high realm cultivators or there could be another explosion.
Why risk your life for nothing in return?
Thus, no one approached the destroyed half of the city, except for the few who also didn't go too close to the centre of the incident.
At the centre, a huge crater had formed and everyone in the Ao Ba Clan was dead.
Even from the surrounding markets, and taverns, no one survived.
There were charred and broken dead bodies lying all around.
Most of the time, only a limb or two was visible because the rest of it was crushed under the debris.
*thump!*
Suddenly, a wall moved and fell down.
"Cough, cough!"
A heavily injured young man came out from the debris.
"Ugh, damn those people, if I knew this was going to happen, I wouldn't have wasted my time in this god forsaken city."
The young man moved and dragged himself out of the destroyed building.
"Thank goodness I had the sect's artefact, or else I would have died just because I was a bystander." He gritted his teeth and after a moment, he leaned on the broken wall beside him.
Staring in the sky, he couldn't help but smile.
He had survived.
And he had witnessed a huge conversation.
"So Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun was indeed hiding in the Gracious Sword Sect…" The young man shook his head.
He still remembered the day when he had first informed his master in the Heaven Oracle Sect that Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun was in the Lower Heavens.
However, his master didn't believe him in the end.
"This bastard…" To some extent, he now hated the Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun.
'If you weren't in the Lower Heavens, then I wouldn't have had to waste my time searching for you, nor would I have come here for the prophecy… Ji Yi might still be alive.'
He couldn't help but lament at these turn of events.
One thing led to another, and he had lost almost everything now.
He was so injured right now that he couldn't even feel his leg.
'I hope I don't become a cripple, or else I won't have any place in this world.'
He sighed. Due to how shaken his body was, he couldn't use Qi right now.
This young man was of course Qin Wentian, the disciple from Heaven Oracle Sect.
"Wang Yao… Ye Tian Yun… Yuan Shuchun… so many things… sigh." He gritted his teeth, "Considering the fact that Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun was hiding in the Gracious Sword Sect, and then came here during the prophecy, I am sure he knew about the Token Of Fate before anyone else."
Qin Wentian gritted his teeth and began to ponder about the scenes he had witnessed earlier. A lot of it wasn't revealed, but there were quite many things which he could make use of in the coming future.
But first, he needed to get out of here.
Calming his mind, he began to circulate his Qi.
But -
"Ugh!"
There was no Qi flow in him!
"Fuck! That explosion did cripple me!"
He immediately regretted staying hidden in the scene.
He had many chances to make a move but he wanted to get to the bottom of all this, and there was also a feeling inside of him which told him that the Token Of Fate will appear soon.
Even as he saw the Devil Sect's people die one by one, he didn't interfere no matter how much he wanted to be the one to kill those people.
In the end, he became a bystander during the whole incident.
'I was going to bury all of them, so I never cared about anything.'
Indeed.
Qin Wentian had decided that he would kill everyone in the city and make this place the burial place for Ji Yi.
'Since she died here, no one is allowed to disturb her peace. Even though I couldn't personally kill her killers, the real people behind this are still alive.'
'The Devil Sect.'
'Ugh, If only I had my cultivation… I would have taken revenge. I would have burned the Devil Sect to the ground.'
'But now it seems everything is useless.'
'If I want to bury this city, I will have to stay in it. If I still had my cultivation, I would have done this without hesitation… but now… I won't be able to move.'
'I can't delay this too, or else, people from powerful sects will soon arrive in this city and the whole array system will be revealed.'
Qin Wentian clenched his teeth and decided, 'I will take this city down with me.'
Before his mind could have any second thoughts, he immediately took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and tore it apart.
*BOOM!!!*
Suddenly, another explosion shook the city and made everyone raise their heads.
Because this one didn't come from inside the city, but from the mountain above it!
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
Two more explosions shook everyone, and to everyone's horror, the Silver Mist Mountain began to move down.
*rumble~!*
It was a landslide!
"Run!! Or else we will be buried with this city!"
"AHH! RUUUUN!!!!"
People panicked and began to run.
Death was just a few seconds away from swallowing them!
Qin Wentian watched the sliding mountain land and rolling rocks with a smile on his face.
'Ji Yi, I am sorry I couldn't take revenge, but I have made sure that no one will disturb us!'
Soon the tsunami of rocks and moving land was upon the city.
But just then, a shout echoed throughout the city -
"Heaven Oracle Sect has quite a daring disciple!"
