"How dare you! Who's there!?"
The Time Beast trapped in the sack had clearly come to its senses. Who was it? When had it ever received such "treatment"? It resisted on the spot.
In an instant, its aura changed. It shifted from languor into a combat stance, fragments of time dancing around it as it tried to break free.
However, what happened next astonished it. The man who had come with that young woman merely drew the mouth of the sack shut, suppressing everything.
"Go!" Chi Wuxia seemed to have known all along that bagging the Time Beast before her would not be so easy. Besides using the sack, she had originally intended to give it a whack with the little furnace, just to be safe.
What happened before her made her mouth form an "O" again. Still, she reacted quickly. Once Di Yi drew the sack shut, she took it, tied it up, and put it inside the little furnace.
She also made some arrangements here. After all, they were using a major incident to conceal a minor one. If no one discovered what had happened here, their efforts would have been wasted.
Boom!
Just after Chi Wuxia fled at top speed, guiding Di Yi into the Great Medicine-Nurturing Mountains from another direction, a Space Passage suddenly opened in Small Earth City, within the Ancestral Land of the Red King's Lineage, triggering a violent explosion.
"What's going on!?"
Small Earth City's defenses were very lax. After all, this was forbidden ground belonging to the Red King's Lineage, the place where the Red King cultivated in seclusion. The creatures guarding it faced this forbidden ground all day with practically nothing to do. Naturally, they could only doze or sit cross-legged to pass the days.
But now something momentous had happened.
