The incident happened so abruptly that the leaders of the Three Kingdoms were caught off guard; so had their Jade Boxes snatched away, so had theirs smashed, and the seal of the Earth Holy Seal was affected as a result, causing the agitated Earth Holy Seal to trigger an earthquake.
Thankfully, Dugu Wu and Xiao Junci and others arrived in ti to drive those people back.
Only then did the Earth Holy Seal narrowly escape being stolen, and the leaders of the two representative teams were still shaken.
Those who could beco leaders were also among the strong, averaging at the level of Wuji Fire Seal and Wenhua Fire Seal experts. They did not expect the enemy’s strength to be on par with their own.
"Fortunately, the Earth Holy Seal was not taken away. Although it was damaged, thankfully it’s not a major issue. The power of the earthquake quickly diminished."
Li Mubei said this and nodded slightly towards Dugu Wu.
Dugu Wu scanned the crowd, looking for his team mbers, relieved to see Xiaojin, Feng Luochen and others had retreated to a safe place.
He was just a little worried about Feng Bailing.
Wu Zhenzhen of the Chen Dynasty suddenly exclaid.
"Wanwan?"
With urgency written all over her face, she had just searched through the crowd and did not find her twin sister, Wu Wanwan.
"Is the Earth Holy Seal of the Chen Dynasty in the hands of Wu Wanwan?"
Dugu Wu asked somberly.
Wu Zhenzhen did not answer.
Because the Earth Holy Seal was so important, even though it was divided into three parts, the leaders of the Three Kingdoms were still worried that other countries might secretly snatch it away, so it was secretly safeguarded all along the way.
Especially for Wu Zhenzhen and Wu Wanwan, the twin sisters were already hard to distinguish from each other; sotis, the Jade Box containing the Earth Holy Seal was in Wu Zhenzhen’s hands, sotis in Wu Wanwan’s, precisely to confuse everyone.
However, tonight, in an ergency, those people could not confirm who held the Earth Holy Seal, so they attacked both Wu Zhenzhen and Wu Wanwan separately, and now Wu Wanwan had disappeared.
"Could she have been captured by those people? What a nuisance. She still has one-third of the Earth Holy Seal."
Xiao Junci comnted irritably.
Princess Changle glanced at the pale-faced Wu Zhenzhen and echoed the sentint.
"It’s unclear if the Chen Dynasty has run out of people or what, but how could they entrust sothing as important as the Earth Holy Seal to you two sisters? Everyone knows that you two have been calamities since birth, naturally unlucky."
Struck where it hurt, Wu Zhenzhen’s complexion turned pale, and she glared fiercely at Princess Changle. Princess Changle did not take the Wu sisters seriously, despite the fact that Wu Wanwan and Wu Zhenzhen were of the Chen Dynasty’s Royal Family, everyone knew of the sisters’ lowly origins, so even the Royal Family of the Cheng Dynasty scorned them.
The reason they were sent to the Competition Among Ten Countries this ti had a special purpose...
"First, we need to find a way to locate Wu Wanwan."
Dugu Wu thought tonight’s events were out of the ordinary. Their travel route had been very secretive; the enemy must have made careful arrangents to strike accurately and may even have an inside informant.
An ambush happening once could happen again, and there was still so distance to go to Qinghe City.
While the leaders were searching for Wu Wanwan, another piece of bad news ca through: that significant earthquake had seriously damaged the mountain roads.
Among the most severe damages was the appearance of nurous cracks in the mountains, dozens or even hundreds of yards long, like small canyons, isolating the teams and horses from various countries.
So teams and horses fell into the crevices, with so competitors smashed to pieces, their bodies nowhere to be found.
Upon discovering this, Dugu Wu imdiately turned back and found that the Great Chu Representative Team had also been split up.
Dongfang Yu’s led Great Chu Team A and so mbers of Great Chu Team B had caught up, but Feng Bailing’s horse carriage and most of Team B’s reserve mbers were on the other side of a crack, and they could only think of a rescue plan when daylight ca.
The Competition Among Ten Countries had not yet started, and Dugu Wu and Feng Bailing were already forced to part ways.
anwhile, on the other side, when Dugu Wu left, Feng Bailing was still in the carriage, unaware of an assassination attempt that had occurred on the road ahead.
The earthquake continued, the carriages were spooked, and the horses refused to move forward.
The wounded in the team were in complete chaos. Feng Bailing quickly cald down, knowing that in an earthquake, only by staying calm could she make the right judgnt at the first mont.
She looked around, confirming she was in the deep mountains, surrounded by rocks and a large number of trees.
She had slept all the way, and now she was full of energy and her seventh sense was very active.
Her Wooden Holy Seal thrived in this environnt like a fish in water.
Feng Bailing’s consciousness quickly extended along with the surrounding vegetation, and she realized that the earthquake had caused significant damage, with collapsing ground and so vegetation uprooted.
According to the trees’ feedback, Dugu Wu and the others should all be safe.
However, there were still significant casualties, and Feng Bailing similarly witnessed the power of the Earth Holy Seal. Although it was one of the Five Holy Seals, the power of the Earth Holy Seal was obviously much more formidable than the Water Holy Seal and the Wooden Holy Seal.
Feng Bailing was contemplating this when she suddenly felt a strong force emanating from beneath the ground.
Feng Bailing stuffed various items from the carriage into the first aid box, and the next mont, she pulled the coachman and jumped off the carriage.
The mont they left, the ground beneath Feng Bailing’s carriage cracked wide open, spawning web-like fractures that spread rapidly, creating a growing fissure in the ground.
The carriage body quickly fell into the crevice, instantly devoured by the boundless darkness. Feng Bailing and the coachman, driven by inertia, also fell downwards.
In the instant of life and death, several thick vines wrapped around Feng Bailing and the coachman.
Feng Bailing was secretly shocked—the force of that Earth Holy Seal was actually targeting Dugu Wu’s carriage.
If she and Dugu Wu had not left earlier, they would probably have both been shattered to pieces by now.
Fortunately, after that wave, the power of the earthquake significantly diminished, and the aftershocks ceased; the coachman slumped down on the ground.
Feng Bailing, concerned about the injuries of her team mbers, consoled the coachman a few words, then headed in the direction of the gathered crowd.
"Is everyone okay?"
Feng Bailing recognized several mbers of the Great Chu Team B; n and won alike, most had only sustained minor injuries.
Seeing this, Feng Bailing breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were just reserve mbers, they were after all citizens of Great Chu, and importantly, they were Dugu Wu’s team mbers. Suffering injuries before the start of the Competition Among Ten Countries would make the remaining events troubleso.
In the face of Feng Bailing’s concern, not a single mber of the Great Chu Team B responded; their attitude towards Feng Bailing was very indifferent.
