With every node destroyed, North City grew that much safer.
Meanwhile, deep within the County Magistrate's Office, Zhang Yunpeng was also waiting.
He was waiting for word from Dragon Ridge Mountain, for the reinforcements sent by Divine Sacrifice Envoy Lingkong Jade, and for the experts dispatched from Qing Province.
Even a handful of Divine Power Realm experts would be enough to help him stabilize and activate the Grand Array, complete the Blood Sacrifice, and find that all-important "key."
He was like a gambler sitting on the edge of an erupting volcano, terrified yet clinging to a sliver of hope.
However, fate gave neither side the response they were hoping for.
What Zhang Yunpeng got was Ghost Moon—drenched in blood, his aura faint, crashing into the secret chamber of the County Magistrate's Office like a beaten dog.
At the sight of Ghost Moon, Zhang Yunpeng's face went pale with shock!
Judging by his state, Ghost Moon was clearly fleeing for his life!
