Growl.

Xu Zhengguan has truly gone mad.

The Old Celestial Master looked at the man laughing wildly before him, who seemed to think his plan had succeeded, and his eyes held no emotion whatsoever.

Yes, but it's a feeling called disappointment and sorrow.

Once upon a time, the other party was a fierce and daring general under the late emperor, but now, he has gradually lost his way.

He sought immortality, yet at this very moment he destroyed his own life...

It can only be said that he has become paranoid... and the reason for his paranoia is something he himself does not understand.

But none of that matters anymore.

Above the sky, hundreds and thousands of pounds of soil and rock began to collapse. Faced with such terrifying natural forces, even the Old Celestial Master was somewhat powerless.

It seemed that only death awaited her.

But after a few moments of silence, Maria stopped and did not continue walking.

She sensed it; the passage to the outside world had been destroyed...

She... cut off all contact with the outside world!

Chapter 392. A low growl.

"Everyone! Run this way!"

"A large-scale ground collapse has occurred in the core area of Hundred Stoves! Send people to cordon off the area immediately, and then quickly evacuate the civilian population!"

"You can't do it! What do you mean you can't do it! If you can't do it, then bring your heads to me!"

The tense cries echoed throughout Hundred Stoves, and everyone realized the seriousness of the situation.

The dark clouds in the sky were definitely not a natural weather change; the giant dragon formed by light and shadow became increasingly solid.

Orange-red lightning flashed, each time accompanied by a faint dragon's roar.

It stimulates everyone's nerves...

While observing the battle situation in the sky, Zuo Le directed the other guards in their efforts to evacuate the civilians.

Although he is a little young, his position as Candleholders is not low.

Under his angry shouts, the guards of the Hundred Stoves Guards hurried to their posts.

Even so, he did not feel any less pressure; on the contrary, he felt that the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier and heavier.

It must be understood that the entire Hundred Stoves is enormous, and relying on such a small number of people is simply insufficient to deal with such an emergency.

In other places, many people also came out to take action.

But how vast is the Hundred Stoves?

The fact that it has not yet completed the transformation to a mobile platform demonstrates the complexity involved.

The idea of evacuating people from this dangerous area in a short time is simply a pipe dream.

But more importantly... what exactly happened?!

Zuo Le was anxious.

But at that moment, a few scattered people appeared in front of him.

"Zuo Le... is that right?"

It was Shu who spoke first. Having met each other before, Shu didn't say anything more, only frowned.

"What exactly is going on?"

"I... I don't know."

Zuo Le had no idea what was happening; he was just giving instructions to those around him to continue the operation while looking at the Sui Family members in front of him.

As the Candleholders, he was naturally familiar with the Sui Family.

Only...

One... two... three... four... five?!

Five- Sui Family?!

"You?!"

Seeing five members of the Sui Family suddenly appear in front of him, Zuo Le was stunned, and then subconsciously turned his head to look at the sky.

Suddenly, he understood what the monster in the sky really was.

Sui Aspect!

"I know you may find this strange, but this has nothing to do with my Sui Family."

Seeing Zuo Le's expression, Shu spoke first, his words tinged with helplessness.

Beside him, Ling, having also sobered up, added to the conversation.

"We were summoned, told there was a secret order, and we had to go to Hundred Stoves immediately to discuss the matter."

"Discuss?"

Zuo Le was taken aback.

He'd never heard of anything like it before.

"We've most likely fallen into a trap..."

The Sui Family brother of the Sui family Chongyue, dressed as a martial artist, spoke slowly and calmly.

As the Sui Family and the person who had the longest contact with the Great Yan, Chongyue was the first to react.

Especially after he inquired and discovered that his sisters had arrived in Hundred Stoves long ago, he understood even more.

This is most likely orchestrated by someone behind the scenes. They know that Chongyue and Ling are among the few who wouldn't easily refuse orders from the Great Yan, so they specifically summoned them back.

Their arrival fulfilled the conditions.

The Sui Aspect appear...

But at this moment, they didn't have time to think too much.

"In about fifteen minutes, the Sui Aspect will have the ability to launch an attack... At that time, the entire Hundred Stoves will be plunged into chaos... Do you have any ways to deal with it?"

Chongyue spoke, facing Zuo Le, and asked a question.

Although he didn't know who was behind it or what their purpose was, he was certain of one thing... that he absolutely could not let the Sui Aspect act on his own.

Although the Sui Aspect also originate from the year, they are different from others; the Sui Aspect do not possess their own reason.

It's nothing but a destructive desire.

If they are allowed to roam freely, who knows what the consequences will be!

They must stop it!

Zuo Le also showed some hesitation at this moment.

Yes, it exists, but...

Zuo Le looked at the people around him, his expression also conflicted.

As a nation that has fought against Great Beast for thousands of years, the Great Yan, despite its terrifying Sui Aspect, is not without its own foes.

The problem is that the current Sui Aspect appears inside the Hundred Stoves!

So many people live here.

Once action is taken, the impact will be too great and the consequences too far-reaching.

This is a terrible outcome for everyone.

"Is that so...?"

Chongyue seemed to have anticipated this outcome.

Since the mastermind arranged for them to approach and reunite, they must have also prepared a plan targeting them.

"It's unlikely that the Great Yan will be able to free up its resources in the short term."

After a brief pause, Chongyue also began to think seriously.

Beside him, Shu had a furrowed brow.

"Where are Maria and the Old Celestial Master? With this Sui Aspect turmoil, while we can temporarily hold them back, we'll need their help to truly resolve the situation."

"I... I don't know either."

Zuo Le's expression grew increasingly conflicted.

He knew that this was the time when the Old Celestial Master and the others were needed, but the problem was that he couldn't contact the Old Celestial Master and Maria at all!

"I haven't heard from them since they went to investigate the Grand Secretary last night!"

No news?

Zuo Le's words clearly stunned everyone in the Sui Family.

They all found it difficult to understand Zuo Le's words.

Those who had witnessed Maria's battles, in particular, found it incomprehensible.

Under what circumstances would Maria lose contact?

But there wasn't enough time for them to continue discussing this matter.

Above the sky, the accumulation of the Sui Aspect has reached a certain level.

With a roar, the body made of golden lines began to move rapidly!

Then...

Tearing through the clouds!

The dragon's head slowly appeared before everyone...

Its body was covered in shimmering scales, its golden-red mane swayed slightly, and its blood-red eyes held no humanity whatsoever; all that remained of it was the most brutal primal desire!

"Tsk..."

"Cough cough... cough cough cough..."

Beneath the ruins, the Old Celestial Master coughed uncontrollably.

Dust was billowing around them, and the more the Old Celestial Master coughed, the more dust she inhaled into her lungs... but the more she inhaled it, the more she coughed.

A loop is formed on both sides.

The Old Celestial Master quickly noticed the problem, and amidst her coughing, she suddenly held her breath.

Her lungs were still reacting uncontrollably, but she stubbornly endured the intense reaction in her chest, pushing it through!

It took her quite a while to recover somewhat.

Meanwhile, Maria stood quietly to the side...

The two people were in a small ruin at that moment.

Although Xu Zhengguan went berserk in the end and destroyed the underground space.

But those ancient rocks still serve some purpose.

As they fell, they collided and piled up, eventually forming a small hole... and that's how she and Maria were able to stay safe.

But this emptiness is also their prison.

"We can't get out..."

The Old Celestial Master stretched out his hand, briefly sensing the outside world, and his brows furrowed slightly.

At this point, even if they wanted to leave, they would have to penetrate at least tens of meters of mud.

Such a layer of mud cannot be simply dug out on flat ground; what they need to do is to truly penetrate a vertical distance of tens of meters!

There are just too many problems to face at this distance.
