"What's wrong?"
Ling Xiao followed his gaze but only saw a tranquil night sky.
"Something's not right... let's go!"
Gu Sheng grabbed Ling Xiao's arm, with so much force that Ling Xiao cried out in pain.
Almost at the instant they turned to run, a sudden change erupted in the clouds above Five Mountains City.
The once clear night sky abruptly revealed a chromatic cloud, dazzling to the point of eeriness.
The cloud layer rotated, forming a gigantic vortex where violent spiritual energy converged.
"What is that?!"
Ling Xiao looked back, so horrified he nearly forgot to run.
Gu Sheng didn't respond, only pulling him frantically forward.
Behind them came a deafening roar, as if heaven and earth were trembling. The Defensive Array of Five Mountains City crumbled like paper before the storm of spiritual energy, disintegrating in an instant.
"No —" Ling Xiao's scream was drowned out by the massive noise.
