For this world, such a music style is a very novel thing, and the disciples of the Lingyun Sect all gathered around to study this strange sphere.
However, they didn't know that in Zhang nglong's world, the music "Canon" already had a different aning. If soone heard this music on a bus, they might scare the entire busload of people into panic.
Suddenly, the Lingyun Sect disciple holding the sphere felt all the hair on his body stand on end, a sign of imminent danger!
But they had no idea where this sense of crisis ca from.
"Hm! Mmm!" The Fourth Elder seed to want to say sothing, his eyes filled with terror, but his mouth was stuffed with sothing, and his hands and feet were bound by iron chains. Despite this, he wriggled like a maggot trying to escape from this place.
The disciple hurriedly removed what was in his mouth, "Fourth Elder, what do you want to say?"
"Run! Run quickly!" Ling Ye shouted, "Quickly unchain !"
"Run? Why should we run?"
The ti set for the sphere to explode finally arrived. With a sudden surge of energy radiation, the sphere surface cracked open, and a torrent of energy burst forth.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion occurred, and a spark with a diater exceeding 50 ters erupted within the Lingyun Sect. Though Zhang nglong had adjusted the bomb's power, reducing it significantly, the explosion's range had increased several tis. Even so, the disciples of the Lingyun Sect, only in the True Martial Realm, could not withstand it at all.
At the explosion's center, a ten-ter-diater pit appeared, and the dead and injured disciples lay scattered on the ground. Even as they lost consciousness, they didn't know what had happened.
"That's a new weapon of the Royal Family, very powerful. Stay away from it!"
Before the Fourth Elder finished his words, the sound of Canon rang out again, as several disciples who had found those Lieyang Crystals had secretly hidden them away.
Now, these items seed to have beco their death warrants, and the music was like the Grim Reaper's laughter.
"Throw it away!"
"Get away from !"
The Lingyun Sect disciples, upon hearing the sound, fled the music like they had seen a beast. However, it was already too late; dozens of bombs had already been activated!
Even if they threw the bombs away, everything in their sect's buildings would be dood.
With the successive explosions, the entire Lingyun Sect was enveloped in a sea of flas.
Although not many were injured, for Lingyun Sect's structures, it was a disaster. Besides so exceedingly important places like the martial arts library, protected by powerful treasures or formations, most buildings had turned into ruins.
The accumulation of Lingyun Sect over the years was reduced to rubble in a few seconds.
"Activate the Sect Protection Array!" The Fourth Elder, having regained the ability to move despite his weakness, still had the strength to issue commands.
The Sect Protection Array was established by the forefathers of Lingyun Sect to guard against foreign invasions and various unpredictable attacks.
But with Lingyun Sect's growth and the developnt of the Sacred Gold Dynasty, no force within the dynasty dared to invade them. As for those outside the dynasty, they would have to pass through the Sacred Gold Dynasty first, so the Sect Protection Array hadn't been used for hundreds of years to preserve energy.
Who could have imagined they would be forced to this point without even identifying their enemy?
"All disciples, imdiately lock down the Upper Sect's roads. We may face a battle at any mont!" the Fourth Elder said. "The Royal Family is ready to tear off the pretenses with us and could send troops to attack Lingyun Sect at any ti. This may be their first feint attack."
"Yes!"
"Also, head to where the Sect Master and others are in seclusion. As soon as they co out, inform the Sect Master of this news. According to the Sect Master's estimate, he will break through to the Heaven-breaking Third Realm in just a few days!"
Upon hearing this news, the Lingyun Sect disciples were rejuvenated. The strongest of the Sacred Gold Dynasty was only in the Heaven-breaking Second Realm. Once their Sect Master successfully made the breakthrough, they could surpass the Royal Family in top-level strength.
As for the issue of military strength, despite Lingyun Sect seemingly being confined to this small plot of land while the Royal Family had millions of martial artists, Lingyun Sect had developed over the years with disciples throughout the Sacred Gold Dynasty. They could quickly assemble a force capable of contending against the Royal Family's army.
Though the sect's assets suffered so damage, as long as the people survived, everything could be rebuilt. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before they beca the rulers of the Sacred Gold Dynasty.
...
At an altitude of several tens of thousands of ters, Zhang nglong and others observed everything below through the Proton Robots. The Sect Protection Array remained intact, as Zhang nglong's bombs couldn't destroy it, and even the nanorobots couldn't penetrate it.
However, science is the primary productive force. The Three-Body Civilization's technology allowed for the two-dinsional unfolding of protons to create supercomputers far smaller than the nanoscale, able to penetrate the Sect Protection Array, just not damage it.
"Brother Zhang, their Sect Protection Array is quite formidable," Qi Xiu said, "I heard the first-generation Sect Master of Lingyun Sect obtained an ancient treasure while roaming the continent and used it as the core to establish the array, enough to withstand the attacks of a Heaven-breaking Realm martial artist.
"No problem, I just want to see if their Sect Protection Array is more formidable or if our Italian Cannon Plus is superior!" Zhang nglong laughed, "How's the production of that batch of cannon bodies going?"
"Almost done, they'll be entirely finished the day after tomorrow. I've also gathered the two thousand martial artists under my command, ready to move at any ti," Qi Xiu expressed great confidence in Zhang nglong's cannons, "Let them enjoy these two more days!"
"How could that be?" Zhang nglong sneered, "In these two days, not only will they not enjoy a full al, but I also want them to have sleepless nights!"
...
Late at night, the exhausted Lingyun Sect disciples huddled around campfires. Their usual dwellings had entirely collapsed, forcing them to sleep outdoors, and they hadn't eaten anything since morning, only having sips of water, leaving them both tired and hungry.
They leaned on each other, imagining Lingyun Sect ruling the Sacred Gold Dynasty, with slight smiles in their dreams.
Everyone knew that a near-invisible Proton Robot, undetectable even by Mystic Qi, had already arrived among them.
As the familiar Canon music sounded, everyone woke directly from their slumber.
"Are the Royal Family attacking again?"
"Realm! Full alert!"
"It's that music again! Another explosion!"
"Where? Where?"
The disciples looked around in panic, no longer sleepy.
"What are you afraid of?" an Elder said, "We activated the Sect Protection Array; their weapons can't get in here. This must be another one of their tricks!
"Right!" These words imdiately awakened them. With the Sect Protection Array, what was there to fear?
The disciples tidied themselves and leaned back, trying to sleep again.
However, a few minutes later, that music sounded once more. Although they knew absolutely they were safe, once bitten, twice shy; they developed a physiological instinct to react to the music.
"Sleep?" Zhang nglong watched the images transmitted by protons, "How dare you sleep, get up and dance!"
