With a face devoid of any remorse, the white-robed man shifted his gaze back to Sylvara. A cruel smile played at his lips as he raised his hand. The translucent bubble enclosing Sylvara floated in the air, obediently following his motions.
Silent as a shadow, the white-robed man stepped towards the portal, the ten holy kings behind him. The air grew heavy with anticipation as they disappeared, their departure leaving only a chilling emptiness in their wake.
After a substantial passage of ti, Kai's figure erged amidst the desolation of the once magnificent city.
As he surveyed the desolate remains surrounding him, a hint of amusent flickered in his eyes. "It seems like I am late," he mused, his voice tinged with a mix of sarcasm and frustration.
But soon enough, his gaze fell upon the lifeless body of Li Yan, and his amusent transford into bewildernt. "Who could have killed her in such a short span of ti?" Kai wondered aloud, his brow furrowing with intrigue.
His attention then shifted to the grim sight before him - the countless lifeless heads of the Luminari family, strewn across the ground.
A mix of thoughts raced through Kai's mind as he contemplated this grueso scene. Perhaps the alliance and the Luminari family had collided, their struggle for the Heavenly Spark resulting in such devastation. But that scenario seed unlikely, considering the overwhelming presence of Void Transformation Realm experts within the alliance's ranks. Sothing didn't quite add up.
Suddenly, a realization dawned upon Kai, illuminating his mind with a new possibility – the Devil Court.
The pieces of the puzzle started to co together in his mind.
However, another question lingered. How had the Devil Court managed to identify the location of the alliance and the Luminari family, especially considering the alliance's possession of the Evil Warding Incense?
"Hmm, given the imnse power and influence held by the Devil Court, I can't say I'm entirely surprised. However, in tis like these, it is crucial to prioritize the most important matters," he said, nonchalantly gesturing with his hand. Li Yan's lifeless body was effortlessly transferred into his space ring.
"What course of action should I take at this mont?" Kai pondered softly, his voice carrying a tinge of uncertainty. "Is it wiser for to head back to the Inner Ring, or should I remain in the Middle Ring?"

Far away, across the vast expanse of the cold and rciless void, Spiritdrift World, now shrouded in chaos, with blood staining its very essence and destruction reigning supre.
Unforgiving and relentless, the cultivation world within Spiritdrift World has beco a battlefield, where countless sects have been rcilessly exterminated. Among the fallen is the once illustrious Heavenly Mist Sect, a formidable power reduced to nothingness.
Even the quiet haven of Paradise City, known for its respite from the troubles of the world, was not spared from the specter of destruction. The once-idyllic streets now bear the scars of downfall. The gutters run red with the blood of countless fallen Dao Integration Realm experts, their life force extinguished in a futile struggle against the encroaching darkness. The extent of destruction that had rcilessly engulfed the city was nothing short of catastrophic, leaving behind an indescribable scene of desolation. What was once a vibrant and bustling expanse now lay in ruins, a haunting reminder of the untad chaos that had ripped through its core.
Gone were the majestic structures that once stood tall, their grandeur now reduced to re remnants. Among the rubble, the remnants of what was once known as the Dao Platform stood as a poignant testant to the city's shattered spirit. This revered hub, once an ethereal haven of healing and enlightennt, now lay fragnted and lifeless, its faint whispers of mystic energy dissipating into the forsaken air.
Adjacent to the Dao Platform, the charred remains of the Astral Gate lood as a solemn reminder of the city's severed connection to distant realms. Once a portal that allowed travel between countless worlds, its once-glowing arches now hung ominously in disarray, their intricate patterns and srizing aura now forever lost.
The devastation had not spared the city's most revered buildings either. The All Things Chamber now stood in shattered disarray. Its once-majestic libraries, overflowing with priceless tos and scrolls, now lay buried under fallen debris, their sacred knowledge silenced and hidden from the world.
In the heart of the ruins, the once-exquisite Jade Lotus Inn now lay in a state of devastating ruin. Its once-elegant halls, adorned with delicate carvings and adorned silk tapestries, were now reduced to re fragnts of what they once were. The air, once infused with the harmonious lodies of wandering musicians and the aroma of delectable delicacies, now carried nothing but a sorrowful silence and the stench of charred wood.
Surveying the wreckage, it was clear that the city had been stripped of its very essence. The devastation, like a rciless tempest, had left no stone unturned, no corner unscathed.
Above the remnants of what was once a grand palace, a multitude of figures had assembled, their presence commanding attention. Each individual exuded an aura of danger, their very essence pulsating with an overwhelming power that sent shivers down the spines of those who dared to gaze upon them.
A youth adorned in a black robe, his short black hair in contrast to the darkness of his attire, spoke with a hint of frustration. "Even after all this devastation, we haven't managed to locate a single mber of the Starry Sky Alliance."
A purple-robed man, distinguished by two formidable horns on his forehead, sneered as he interjected. "Isn't gathering information supposed to be the expertise of your Heaven's End Pavilion?" he mocked, his tone filled with contempt.
A young-looking woman, clad in a flowing black dress with matching short hair, retorted sharply, her words dripping with disdain. "Do you truly believe we would waste our ti idling away like your so-called experts from the Divine Spirit Palace?"
Amidst the mounting tension, a voice suddenly broke the silence from behind the young woman. It belonged to a middle-aged man with disheveled hair and an organized light beard. "Perhaps it's best if we all calm down, Zi Er. It is not appropriate to insult fellow Daoists."
Zi Er, the woman who had spoken scornfully, narrowed her eyes, her lips curling into a sneer. "Senior Brother Li, whom are you referring to as fellow Daoists? Most mbers of the Divine Spirit Palace are nothing more than brutish thugs."
Just as the tension threatened to escalate, a sudden shift in the atmosphere chilled the air.
The temperature began to rise rapidly, causing beads of sweat to form on the foreheads of those gathered.
"Is that so?" a voice suddenly interjected, cutting through the scorching atmosphere.
All eyes turned towards the source of the voice, finding a woman of unparalleled beauty. Her fiery red hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall of flas, radiating a captivating allure that was both srizing and ominous.
