Sixteen stone pillars stood there, still as bright as they had been last night. Yue Wen's was the highest, and the River City Team led by a huge margin, while the other teams had only a little light.
Liu Yuanjun had failed to escape his confinement and had already returned here.
At the time, Yue Wen and the others had searched the surrounding area without finding where he was trapped. Only after chatting with him did they learn that he might have been transported farther away because he had been the one to open the spatial rift.
It seemed they would have to use Heaven-and-Earth Arts cautiously in Rock Dragon City from now on.
Over there, Shi Miaozhen was already calling everyone over to measure their Dragon Qi. Yue Wen exchanged glances with Xing'er and Qi Dian, signaling for them to keep straight faces. What happened next might make it very hard to hold back.
If the corners of their mouths rose by even one pixel, they might anger someone enough to lose control and start a fight with them.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Shi Miaozhen called, striding boldly up to the stone pillar. "Next, you'll witness the moment our Azurefall Profound Gate takes the top spot!"
Behind her, Dongfang Jianqi was calm, Meng Youjun looked guilty, Xu Lingchan was envious, Meng Yuheng was uneasy, and Yue Wen's Gang looked solemn... For a moment, everyone wore a different expression.
Shi Miaozhen opened her backpack and poured a heap of black soil into the groove on the stone platform with a whoosh-
Then she raised her head and looked toward the very top of the stone pillar, waiting for the white light to shoot up there. But after several seconds, nothing seemed to have happened.
Her gaze gradually moved downward. Nothing... nothing...
