Gray smoke billowed around them, and sparks covered the walls. They were caused by the high temperatures from the lightning explosion just now.
Su Xiao headed out of the underground space. After walking a hundred meters through the passage, he encountered Tower Balder coming toward him. Ghost also withdrew.
Without much conversation, Su Xiao and Balder headed toward the surface. Before long, they emerged from the underground passage and returned to the narrow alley, sunlight pouring down.
Baha and Amu had been waiting there for some time. Behind them stood three Transcendents, and the female Transcendent was still gripping a glass test tube.
"Hand it over."
Su Xiao held his knife in his right hand and extended his left. At such close range, he could instantly cut off the other party's head to prevent the Watcher Relic from being destroyed.
"Very well."
The female Transcendent handed over the glass test tube without hesitation, then turned her gaze toward Tower Balder.
"Mr. Pumpkin, please take me away. We are guilty!"
"Hmm~ All right."
Tower Balder led the three Transcendents out of the alley. He would hand them over to the local Shelter, after which the manager of that Shelter would deal with them.
In the narrow alley, Su Xiao pulled the stopper from the glass test tube and poured out the Watcher Relic. The transparent liquid ran between his fingers, and the root-like objects clinging to the Watcher Relic evaporated.
As soon as those root-like objects evaporated, the left half of the Watcher Relic began to decay. It eventually turned to powder, leaving only half behind.
