Ye Tian Yun jumped over the destroyed buildings and headed towards the Zheng Clan.
However, he was quite appalled by the destruction that Wang Yao's power had caused along the way.
'It really did destroy half of the city….'
He couldn't help but inwardly sigh at this.
Not only was most of the city destroyed, but the people in the area were also instantly killed.
Thousands of innocent lives were lost just like that.
'A core formation realm cultivator realm cultivators' explosion….'
Peak Master Duan was a Seventh Stage Core Formation Realm cultivator, but he was helpless against Wang Yao.
And had no control over himself when Wang Yao blasted him, intending to kill any witness and take away Ye Tian Yun to the secret space.
But Ye Tian Yun had sohow managed to destroy Wang Yao, and all that remained of him was a small wisp in his consciousness.
'I am close….'
Suddenly, Ye Tian Yun noticed the presence of other cultivators ahead of him and slowed down.
After a mont of thought, he went inside one of the destroyed hos.
….
Main Hall, Zheng Clan.
This place was one of the most important and guarded locations of the Zheng Clan.
It was here Zheng Clan Head, Zheng Yuan, had the important etings with the clan elders.
Usually, this hall would be bolstered with discussions and argunts among the elders.
However, today things were a bit different.
The atmosphere was very somber.
Clan Head Zheng Yuan was sitting on the main seat, lost in thoughts with a worried expression, and the elders were also silent.
They were waiting for Clan to head Zheng Yuan's comnt on the current state of the city.
After a long depressing silence. Clan Head Zheng Yuan let out a sigh and asked, "Is this all really true?"
One of the Elders stood up and replied, "Yes, Clan Head. The explosion had destroyed half of the city. We have lost all contact with all our clansn who were within the vicinity of the explosion."
"However, we have suffered the most minimal losses in this incident. Jia Lei Clan has not only lost most of its taverns, but there are also rumors that Clan Head Jia Lei Shan was seen in that region, and he hasn't walked out of it yet. In fact, no one has walked out. Not a single survivor. That also ans the whole Ao Ba Clan… is destroyed."
Clan Head Zheng Yuan nodded his head and closed his eyes.
Leaning back on his seat, he asked, "Any news of the Gracious Sword Sect people? Or any news of sothing happening?"
The Elder nodded, "There is one thing we noted. One of the carriages which brought those disciples is standing near the exit. They are most probably waiting for the remaining mbers."
Clan Head Zheng Yuan nodded, "Yes. This city is going to be chaotic."
"First, there were Core Formation Realm cultivators and so many of them. They ca out of nowhere. And then that Sword Saint… after that those two explosions which destroyed the city."
"And just when things cald down a bit, the mountain above us exploded, and just when we were about to get buried under the debris, the whole landslide froze in the air."
"If that wasn't enough, there was also the incident which turned everything pitch black. We all know what that ant."
The Elders looked at each and gulped.
One of the elders couldn't help but ask, "Clan Head, are you saying that… the Emblem and everything that happened in the city are.... related!?"
Clan Head Zheng Yuan pursed his lips, "I don't know… but why do you think so many Core Formation REalm Cultivators and even a Sword Saint would appear in this small city?"
The elder frowned, "But Clan Head, weren't they here for a secret mission? To assassinate soone?"
Clan Head rolled his eyes, "Do you think a Sword Saint will make a move just to assassinate a little girl? You're underestimating their presence."
"A Sword Saint is the peak of our Lower Heavens. And there aren't more than three Sword Saints. So how could I not doubt that sothing much bigger and shocking happened in the city?"
No one replied.
Now even the elders felt that their Clan Head's words seed to carry so weight.
Clan Head Zheng Yuan took a deep breath and asked, "So, now cos the important question, should we enter the destroyed part of the city or not. What do you guys think?"
The elders thought for a mont and began to give their views on the situation.
"Clan Head, I think we should go and take a look. It's been about an hour since the explosions took place. I am sure whoever was behind this incident has already left the scene."
"No, Clan Head," Soone else interrupted, "We shouldn't go. We have already lost too much in this situation. What if the enemy had not left? Won't we be going to our death?"
"Clan Head, I think we should take the middle road. We should go, but we shouldn't be the first ones to go. Let so random cultivators scout the region first, and then we will go and assess the situation."
Clan Head Zheng Yuan nodded his head after listening to different opinions.
When everyone quietened down, he said, "I think we should stay put for so ti. Let's first observe the situation and let those other people go and scout for us."
"Also, there's th-!"
Suddenly, Clan Head Zheng Yuan frowned and looked at the entrance of the main hall.
The others in the room were also confused by his reaction. They turned around to see what was going on.
To their surprise, a young man was standing at the main door.
One of the elders frowned and stood up, "Who are you? This is the main hall. Outsiders are not allowed to join this eting. Identify yourself."
The young man smiled and looked at Clan Head Zheng Yuan.
"I hope you haven't forgotten , Clan Head Zheng."
Clan Head Zheng smiled and stood up from his seat.
"Haha, of course not. How dare I?" He laughed while walking towards the entrance and asked, "How have you been, Disciple Fang Chen? How are others from the sect?"
