Inside the statues, the two people had clearly been dead for many years, yet their facial features were twisting as if something were about to come alive from within their bodies!
Not only was the high platform shaking and the statues trembling, but even the air throughout the entire South District seemed to be vibrating.
Ripples appeared in the air, as though it were not air at all, but some expanse of water.
The entire Royal City began to shake as well.
No, it was not the Royal City that was shaking. It was the ground beneath it.
The once-flat earth undulated like waves, exposing one black fissure after another.
An earthquake! The people of the Royal City's West District had been tormented beyond endurance by the night's changes. One after another, they fled the West District and ran out of the Royal City toward the wilderness beyond.
But the wilderness was also turning upside down. The earthquake's tremors seemed to be spreading outward in every direction from the Royal City.
Lao Mo was the first to run out of the Royal City.
However, he had not intended to save only himself. He found a safe place and began lighting beacon fires.
He keenly sensed that this was the perfect opportunity for the Rebel Army to seize the Royal City and establish a new nation!
Ever since the Central District Black Tower had collapsed, he had believed that the Sovereign must have died...
The fiery red Phoenix Saint had appeared again. It had to be the end of the Royal City's Sovereign!...
Sensing the changes in the Royal City's natural environment, Xia Chujian made a snap decision. She raised the Destroyer 1 Large Sniper Rifle and fired three shots in succession at the statues' carapace atop the high platform!
**Clang!
