A Special Way of Returning

Bang!

Something like a meteor crashed down onto the platform Xiao Yan had just left, unleashing an earth-shattering boom. In an instant, the ground for dozens of miles around shook violently, as if a magnitude-ten earthquake had struck.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, a surge of energy emerged from within Xiao Yan and silently lifted up the disciples who had fallen into the cracks, saving them from disaster.
