Chapter 579: Chapter 184: Heading to the Shangwu Dynasty! Wipe out all Blood Gu Sect Disciples! (10,000-word mega Chapter, please subscribe)_1
The immense commotion was comparable to any disturbance outside the Imperial Palace, but even greater.
The deafening roar left the eardrums of everyone around buzzing.
Under the moonlight, the blood-red mushroom cloud was especially eye-catching.
It drew the gaze of countless people.
"Hey, Monk!" The One-armed Daoist, whose wounded arm had already been treated, looked at the distant scene in shock. He swallowed, asking, "That direction over there, doesn’t it seem familiar?!"
The Big Monk, who had once been quite burly but was now as skinny as a bamboo pole, took a deep breath and replied, "If the monk is not mistaken, Daoist Fan Wu seemed to have headed in that direction, right?"
After those words fell, the two of them couldn’t help but exchange a glance.
Could what was happening over there be what they imagined it could be?
It should...
It couldn’t possibly be, after all, in their eyes, Daoist Fan Wu was extremely powerful.
Moreover, Daoist Fan Wu had stated that he had even quelled the turmoil within the Imperial Palace, so it was unlikely that any upheaval outside the Imperial City could harm him.
"It could also be unrelated to Daoist Fan Wu," the One-armed Daoist said. "After all, how long has it been since Daoist Fan Wu and we parted ways? He couldn’t possibly have gotten there that quickly, could he?"
"That’s right!" The Big Monk had a sudden realization. He nodded and added, "Even with a fast horse and a whip, it wouldn’t be that quick, would it?"
"Maybe it’s some Sect Disciple from the Blood Gu Sect causing trouble again. Such a large-scale explosion, who knows how many people it has harmed," frowned the One-armed Daoist, his face filled with loathing.
He had no good feelings toward the Sect Disciples of the Blood Gu Sect, who liked to bring disaster to helpless common folk.
He found them utterly despicable.
...
Meanwhile.
The citizens of the Great Zhou Imperial City, who were already extremely frightened, became even paler at this sight.
It scared them to the point of trembling.
"Child... child’s father, close the window, stop looking!" A woman holding a child in a household of the Imperial City cried out in panic, "It’s so chaotic outside, if we’re not careful and get involved, it will be the end of us!"
The woman’s husband seemed deaf to her words, whether it was because their ears were deafened by the tremendous sound that had just occurred or because he was so stunned by the scene before him that he had not heard his wife at all.
The woman’s husband was staring dumbfounded at the outside.
Looking at the rising blood-red mushroom cloud, endless fear surged in his heart, "What on earth... what on earth has happened in the Imperial City?"
He swallowed hard.
His legs went soft!
His body shook!
Fear to the extreme!
Apart from this one household, many more citizens of the Imperial City also witnessed this terrifying scene. It was something they had never seen in all their lives.
"What exactly happened over there? Why is there such an anomaly? Why is there such a loud noise? It’s like something suddenly exploded. Hiss! With such a big explosion, what exactly was detonated?!"
"What on earth happened tonight? Why has the Great Zhou Imperial City suddenly become so chaotic? And there are so many people killing outside, what in the world happened?"
"Hiss! Could it be that a battle is about to begin? But even if a battle were to start, would it have reached the Imperial City this quickly? There was absolutely... absolutely no sign of it!"
"It must be the Cultivators, it has to be the Cultivators who can cause such a commotion."
"What are the Imperial City’s authorities doing? Why haven’t we seen a single one of them after so long?"
"Wuu wuu wuu! Mother, I’m scared!"
"..."
In fact, it wasn’t just these ordinary Imperial City citizens who were panicking.
Some Sect Disciples of the Blood Gu Sect who saw this scene were also panicking.
While causing chaos in the Imperial City, they looked up in astonishment towards that direction.
If they remembered correctly, wasn’t that the direction where the Elder had stayed?
Hiss!
What happened at the Elder’s location?
This sudden massive explosion...
This sudden mushroom cloud...
Could it be?
"Not good!" A somewhat knowledgeable veteran Sect Disciple of the Blood Gu Sect saw this scene and his face turned pale, "It’s the Blood Gu Corpse Dismantling Technique! This is... this is a secret technique that is only used at the very last moment when no other options are left!"
"Once such a technique is used, it means the Elder is planning a mutual destruction with an enemy. With the Elder’s level of cultivation, I fear no one within a hundred steps will survive!"
"Including..." The veteran Sect Disciple swallowed hard, his face full of disbelief.
"Including the Elder herself!!!"
Realizing this, the Sect Disciple could hardly contain himself because he knew all too well what this meant.
Someone had struck at the heart!
No, this won’t do!
I must go see for myself!
What if the Elder who used this technique is not actually harmed, or has only been severely injured and not died? In that case, wouldn’t I be able to earn great merit by going there now?
