Chapter 514 The Storm Is Brewing (Part 1)
"Heh, we're just here to collect a debt."
Xuan Mo was too lazy to waste words with him anymore. The next second, he ended Miles' life with a single punch and said, "In your next life, open your eyes wider!"
Looking at the headless corpse before him and the raging flames surrounding the Gengxin City Spirit Hall, Xuan Mo's thoughts stirred. Two beams of light, one yellow and one purple, lit up, and yellow and purple ripples simultaneously enveloped the entire Gengxin City Spirit Hall.
Then, Xuan Mo coldly said, "Destroy it."
"Rumble..."
Accompanied by a deafening roar, the entire Spirit Hall was reduced to ruins, and some burning areas were suspended in mid-air by gravity. The ground also rippled like a dragon turning over, sweeping across like a tidal wave.
This not only completely buried the corpses of Miles and the others from the Spirit Hall, but also, just as the ripples were about to stop, the ground cracked open, slamming the Spirit Hall down. Finally, the place was completely reduced to rubble! He then stood beside Tang San, dissipating the murderous intent in his heart.
"Brother Mo."
At the same time, seeing Xuan Mo's face was already somewhat pale, Ma Hongjun quickly took out the recovery sausage Oscar had made for them and gave it to Xuan Mo to restore his soul power.
"Tap tap tap..."
Just then, a series of noisy footsteps sounded from afar. After all, the commotion here was not small, and coupled with the dazzling firelight, it was easy to attract the attention of the Gengxin City officials. So, seeing the bloodshed completely buried, Xuan Mo and the other two exchanged glances and gradually disappeared into the darkness.
The next morning, explosive news spread throughout the streets and alleys of Gengxin City. The location of the Spirit Hall in Gengxin City had changed last night. Not only had the Spirit Hall disappeared, but Bishop Miles and all thirty-four Soul Masters had also vanished.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire Gengxin City became incredibly heavy.
Although they were said to have vanished, it was practically certain that they were dead. Moreover, it was speculated that their bodies had been buried underground at the location of the Spirit Hall in Gengxin City.
After all, ground disturbances are relatively easy to detect.
Shocked, the authorities launched a rigorous investigation, sealing the city gates, prohibiting entry and exit, and searching house to house for the murderer.
Of course, everyone knew this was just a formality; someone capable of killing over thirty Spirit Hall Soul Masters and causing an earthquake wouldn't be so easily caught.
Therefore, the only thing the authorities could do was immediately report the situation to the Spirit Hall and await their decision.
However, upon receiving this news, most of the people in Gengxin City, from commoners to blacksmiths, were overjoyed.
Given Miles's personality, countless people had been oppressed by the Spirit Hall in Gengxin City. The destruction of the Spirit Hall in Gengxin City was met with cheers from almost everyone in the city.
Of course, no one noticed that at dawn, the sealed city gates opened, and several carriages had quietly departed.
Besides, when the news reached Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall, she was furious! However, although she ordered the true culprit to be severely punished, the matter was dropped within a few days.
As for the real reason, only Bibi Dong, who had obtained the exact intelligence from Gengxin City at the time, knew.
"In that case, Xiao San, we'll head back to the academy first."
A few days later, in front of the Power Clan's residence—no, to be precise, now the Tang Sect's residence—Xuan Mo, with Oscar and Ma Hongjun behind him and Ning Rongrong holding his arm, said to Tang San and Xiao Wu.
It turned out that in order to return as soon as possible, everyone chose to travel day and night, thus greatly reducing the time spent on the road.
At this moment, they had returned to Heaven Dou City from Gengxin City.
However, the first thing Tang San naturally had to do upon returning was to arrange his Tang Sect affairs. Therefore, Xuan Mo and the others took their leave first, and then the four of them returned to Shrek Academy together.
However, as they walked back to the academy, they noticed something was wrong. They saw a troop of about a hundred men, their movements chilling and menacing, galloping swiftly through the streets, completely disregarding the safety of the civilians in Tiandou City.
Xuan Mo, seeing this, felt a slight unease. Clearly, he had already anticipated something. He turned and said, "It seems something has happened to the Tiandou royal family."
Ma Hongjun and Oscar were both taken aback.
Only Ning Rongrong reacted quickly, nodding in agreement as she looked in the direction the cavalry had gone.
"That's right. With the skill of those cavalry, they must be at the level of the royal guards. How could they possibly gallop freely through the streets of Tiandou City? So, in that case…"
Ning Rongrong looked at Xuan Mo.
Even Oscar and Ma Hongjun, who had already understood, looked at Xuan Mo, clearly wanting him to make the decision.
Xuan Mo shook his head. "No, given our current status, we can't interfere too much. So, the safest course of action is to go to the academy first; we'll see what's going on there then."
He then looked up at the sky and sighed.
"A storm is brewing!"
Back at Shrek Academy, the four went straight to Flander's office in the teaching building. Ma Hongjun, without any ceremony, pushed his way in.
However, the expected scolding from Flander didn't come. When they entered, they found Flander, Zhao Wuji, Liu Erlong, and Grandmaster all sitting there.
But everyone had a slight frown.
Seeing this, Xuan Mo quickly stopped the somewhat anxious Ma Hongjun and asked, "Dean, what's going on?"
"Mo boy, you're back." At this moment, Flander looked at Liu Erlong, "Erlong, pour the children a cup of tea."
"Boss Flander, you really know how to order people around!"
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong, without waiting for Liu Erlong to get up, quickly poured tea for the four of them, and also poured tea for Flander and the other teachers.
After Ning Rongrong finished doing all this, Xuan Mo asked again, "Dean, what exactly happened? You..."
"Xiao Mo, have you also noticed something's wrong?"
Flander interjected before Xuan Mo could finish.
Xuan Mo nodded slightly in agreement. He then recounted their experiences to Flander and the others.
At this moment, Grandmaster also spoke up, "Actually, these changes in Tian Dou City started several days ago. And in the past few days, Flander and I have tried to go to the Tian Dou Imperial Palace several times, but we were stopped each time. Therefore, we also sensed something was wrong. However, the problem is, no news has leaked out. So even if we feel something is amiss, we can only sit here and speculate wildly."
