"Th-This... how is this possible..."
As they watched the scene unfolding in the sky, countless cultivators revealed looks of utter disbelief. The people of Nine Heavens City in particular were both shocked and enraged.
"Could this be an illusion?" someone questioned.
"If it were an illusion, it would be proven soon enough. What would be the point of it, then? Just to provoke the cultivators of Nine Heavens City? That wouldn't benefit Konoha either..." someone said in confusion.
As everyone made all sorts of guesses, news from Nine Heavens City arrived at that moment as well. Anyone who had planted spies in Nine Heavens City or had friends there received the news at almost the same time.
"Nine Heavens City has been attacked, and the Ninth City Lord has been killed... It's actually real!!!"
At the same time, Mora, the First City Lord of Nine Heavens City, took out a life plaque from his storage ring with a face ashen with fury. However, the plaque was already covered in cracks when he took it out. The moment it appeared, it shattered into ashes.
"That is the Ninth City Lord's life plaque. He really has been killed!"
"How could this happen? With the Ninth City Lord's strength, how could he have been killed in an instant? Why didn't he defend himself?"
"What kind of weapon is that sword? Its power is terrifying—it even annihilated the body in an instant!"
Everyone's expressions changed dramatically. All signs showed that everything happening in the projection was real, not the illusion they had previously suspected.
"You are courting death!!" Mora's voice was frighteningly low. Those familiar with him knew this was how he acted when his anger had reached its peak.
"So what?" Mu Yuyi asked with a light laugh.
"Kill him!" Mora roared.
