Yet Chu Yangping had no way to escape at all, because Silver Moon's aura had completely locked onto him!
Silver Moon moved with extreme speed. In the blink of an eye, she had dragged a hundred-meter tail of flame above Chu Yangping!
Terrifying pressure poured down, and the city-protecting formation of Jiuyao City had already sunk into a visible depression!
As the Manor Lord of Silver Moon Manor and a powerhouse at the peak of Seeking the Way, though unable to escape, Chu Yangping would not simply wait to die!
Chu Yangping's thousand-zhang Divine Soul Projection finally moved.
Its enormous arms rose. From the looks of it, it actually intended to hold up the falling Silver Moon!
Silver Moon was a full ten thousand zhang in size. Compared to her, the Divine Soul Projection was like an ant trying to shake a tree!
Boom...
A muffled roar rang out, and countless people within Jiuyao City felt their ears go deaf for an instant.
Dazzling silver light surged from Silver Moon, while waves of destruction scattered in every direction.
Almost instantly, the Divine Soul Projection's arms exploded. Even the space where it stood twisted and overlapped layer upon layer beneath that ultimate pressure before being directly annihilated!
That was right—annihilated!
Space shattered outright, turning into utter nothingness!
At the point where Silver Moon collided with the arms, a completely pitch-black region had already appeared!
Of course, this was not the end. It was merely the beginning.
Silver Moon's momentum did not diminish as she smashed downward.
Chu Yangping's Divine Soul Projection could not resist in the slightest. The shock had yet to fade from its face before it shattered with a crash!
Of course, the residents of Jiuyao City paid no attention to that minor interlude.
Because all their attention was focused on the steadily approaching Silver Moon!
"Enough."
A faint voice suddenly rang out.
The voice was not loud, yet it echoed throughout all of Jiuyao City.
The words seemed to carry a magical power, and Silver Moon froze directly in midair.
Within only a few breaths, she dissolved into the most basic energy and scattered away, vanishing without a trace.
Silver Moon Manor, council hall.
Today, all of Silver Moon Manor's elders and core members had gathered here. The man at their head looked somewhat familiar—it was none other than Chu Yangping, whose Divine Soul Projection had appeared in Jiuyao City.
They had gathered here precisely to discuss the matter of the Jiuyao Mountain Range.
In the midst of their discussion, Chu Yangping's expression suddenly changed, and he violently spat out a mouthful of blood.
His face instantly turned deathly pale, and his aura withered away.
"Manor Lord!"
"Manor Lord!"
"What happened?!"
For a time, startled cries rose from the surrounding crowd.
Chu Yangping's face was filled with icy malice. "The divine sense I left within Yunfei's protective jade pendant has been destroyed."
At those words, everyone's expressions changed.
Anyone capable of erasing the divine sense of Chu Yangping, who possessed strength at the peak of Seeking the Way, was certainly no ordinary person!
At that moment, a woman suddenly rushed into the council hall, her face filled with panic.
"This is bad! Yunfei's life lamp has gone out!"
The woman was Chu Yangping's wife, and her gaze toward him was full of helplessness.
"What!"
Chu Yangping was instantly shocked. His vision went black, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.
Though Chu Yunfei's temperament had been incomparably unruly, he was still Chu Yangping's bloodline. Chu Yangping had therefore spoiled him greatly in everyday life.
When his divine sense had been destroyed, Chu Yangping had already guessed that Chu Yunfei might have encountered some powerful enemy.
But he had never imagined that, in such a short time, his only bloodline would die within Jiuyao City!
Chu Yangping's face was cold, Killing Intent coiling around his entire body. No one around him dared make a sound, afraid of provoking his wrath.
Though he did not know exactly what had happened, Chu Yangping could sense that the place where his divine sense had been destroyed was within Jiuyao City.
"Pass down my order! The manor's elders will accompany me to Jiuyao City at once! I want to see what explanation Ji Wuhui will give me!"
Chu Yangping directly issued the command.
"Manor Lord, the Jiuyao Mountain Range is a matter of great importance. If we march directly into Jiuyao City, I'm afraid that would be somewhat..."
An old man gritted his teeth and finally spoke his mind.
"It matters not. I will bear all consequences!"
By now, Chu Yangping had long been blinded by rage. How could he care about such things?
Besides, Silver Moon Manor was merely the vanguard. Whatever lay within the Jiuyao Mountain Range was bound to shake half of Tianlan Continent...
