"Then I'll show you the other side of Slaughter City!" As soon as the Asura Demon Sword finished speaking, Non-Aggression in the outside world emitted an intense red glow. An enormous rumble came from the cave ahead, followed by violent shaking. The earth trembled and the mountains quaked, no different from an earthquake.
The tremors continued for a full minute. Even though they stood on solid ground, they were on a mountain. The soul masters following Mo Lin were somewhat flustered at first, afraid that the mountain would split apart from this sudden earthquake.
Yet even so, none of the soul masters immediately scattered and fled. Instead, they all looked toward Mo Lin at the front, waiting for his instructions. Once they saw how calmly Mo Lin and Yazi remained unmoved, they realized that the earthquake was all bark and no bite. Though the shaking was fierce, even the frail-looking little trees around them remained firmly rooted in place, showing no sign of being shaken loose.
The soul masters brought here had all been selected according to Mo Lin's requirements. Compared to others of their generation, their strengths lay in remaining calm and being observant. After gradually noticing this point, they all settled down and waited for the surroundings to return to peace.
When it ended, there was no apparent change on the mountain's surface. However, after such a tremendous disturbance, the interior had surely been turned upside down. Holding Non-Aggression in his right hand, Mo Lin gestured to everyone with his left, signaling them to follow, then took the lead into the cave.
Everything before him was so familiar. The enormous lake of blood lay ahead of Mo Lin. The Ice Flood Dragon's corpse from back then had already decayed, leaving only a skeleton floating on the blood lake.
