The Spirit Serpent Clan's New Home

After the explosion, Cloud Sparrow Mountain lay briefly silent for half an hour. Then fierce fighting broke out once more across the ruins, though these clashes were limited to Second Realm cultivators.

As for the Third Realm cultivators, they all understood what that explosion had been. Though they knew Wang Ping could not possibly have taken part in a conflict like today's, the 'Power Pill' had already appeared. If they acted again, they would be openly slapping someone in the face.

So they sent out their own Second Realm disciples. To Prefects, such disciples were insignificant ants, making them easier to manipulate.

Even so, all fighting ceased after dawn.

Cloud Sparrow Prefectural City.

The city, bustling for five or six years, had now been reduced mostly to ruins. Most of the destruction had been caused by the initial 'fire rain.' The inferno swallowed more than half the city and had not gone out even by daybreak.

Thick smoke and dust blanketed most of the city. Now and then, children could be heard crying amid the smoke and flames. They did not understand what had happened, while the adults had become so terrified that they did not dare make a sound.

Three quarters into the morning.

The sunlight tried to pierce the drifting smoke and dust, bringing light to Cloud Sparrow City. A group of cultivators with Dao Palace ID Badges floating above their heads approached Cloud Sparrow Prefectural City from the air under the lead of two Water cultivators.

They sighed at the sight of Cloud Sparrow Prefectural City's misery. Then the two leading Water cultivators cast their spells. In an instant, torrential rain poured down, extinguishing the blaze within the city and dispersing the thick smoke and dust.

As the smoke and dust cleared, it revealed scorched black earth.
