For a moment, the scouts thought they had misheard. They could not understand what was inside the city that had grown bigger after flying out. How could it produce such a sound after falling down?
However, they could clearly see that when the city came out, there was not a single person inside. That meant that the people screaming inside must be people from the big sects and alliances, and from the sound of it, they were all extremely frightened.
The scouts from one of the sects exchanged looks and could feel the other's surprise. Although they did not know what was going on, they could sense that it was not a simple matter. They were determined not to show their heads, so they all became even more focused.
The people of the Sky City were already in a mess the moment the array opened, because the Sky City absorbed the energy from the flesh and blood of the 300,000 people in front of it, it was already very abundant, so dealing with the eight stages was not a problem.
This group of people were not as strong as the first wave, so how could they not panic when they encountered such a terrifying attack? Moreover, when they saw this formation, they knew that the previous group of people had also died here.
Of course, what made them feel despair the most was that their Nine Prefectures Pavilion had just thrown out a city like this, and not even a single person had come out.
The last thoughts of the people inside, who were crying for their parents, were mostly thinking that they had underestimated their opponent, Hua Ruge.
Unfortunately, they had known about it a little too late. This time, Hua Ruge had not thought of holding back from the beginning.
The spies only heard the sound that lasted for an entire hour before they finally stopped. They scratched their ears that were quite shocked, but their eyes still remained fixed on the city.
At this time, they saw the city once again fly high into the sky, and in an instant, it had turned into the size of a toy. The Nine Prefectures Pavilion's protective formation also opened a small hole, and after the black city drilled its way in, the formation closed again.
Look at the place where all 500,000 of them had been. There was only a pile of sawdust, probably formed from the crushing power of the ship. There was nothing else. Not to mention a human, there wasn't even a corpse or any parts on a human body.
All the spies felt as if their legs were as soft as noodles. Their minds were numb and they could not even think straight. They could only stare wide-eyed at the strange and terrifying scene in front of them.
At this time, a cool breeze blew across the mountain and the wood shavings on the ground scattered. Now, it seemed as if nothing had happened.
However, the spies who had witnessed the entire process knew that it was not that nothing had happened, but that everything was over. Under the attack of the city, the 500,000 people had all died without even leaving behind a corpse.
Looking at this scene, it wasn't hard to guess where the three hundred thousand people went. Why wasn't there a need to fight anymore in the Nine Prefectures Pavilion, it was simply a massacre.
The spies' legs had been weak for more than half a day, and after finishing their analysis, they all rushed to their respective sects as if they were flying. To report about this situation, as they were afraid that if they were to return later, they would make their move against Nine Regions Chamber of Commerce.
There were dozens of sects of various sizes that did not dare to take the lead, but they did not want to give up the opportunity to take the lead. It was just that they were not reckless enough to directly attack the Nine Regions Chamber of Commerce, because the name Hua Ruge was truly too famous, and they were afraid that something might happen to him.
The sect masters of these sects urged the scouts ahead three times a day, as they all wanted to receive the news as soon as possible, because they knew that the five hundred thousand people had already arrived at Nine Prefectures Pavilion's gate. They should be able to clearly see the situation this time.
The spies did not disappoint them and told them what they saw when they returned.
The first reaction of the people from the sects wasn't one of shock or even surprise. They all thought that this spy was crazy. They had never heard of any magic tool that could take five hundred thousand lives in an hour.
Let alone ordinary divine tools, even Chaos Artifact wouldn't be able to do it.
Thus, they decided to recall the other spies and asked them one by one. However, the final result was one.
The sect members looked at each other for a while before coming to the conclusion that these spies had collectively controlled their minds in order to come back and spout nonsense to scare people.
Yes, that must be it.
Hearing the Sect Leader and the Elders' words, the spies' stance became a little shaky. Scratching their heads, they said, "Could it be that we are really being controlled?"
"Maybe. With how weak we are, it'll be easy for those experts to control us." The other one said the same.
"That's true, I already said that what we saw was too scary, I can't even say it myself." The third scout said with relief.
Of course, even though these sects thought so, they still didn't act rashly. The situation was still unclear, and they were too impulsive to make a move.
Just at this time, Mu Qingyan felt that the situation had stabilized, so he activated the Mountain Defence Array, and let the people who were initially in the city out.
At the same time, she had also sent many people to clear out the people guarding the sect that were led by the Myriad Sword Sect. This battle could be considered a death feud, and she could not let the remnants of those sects continue to live, otherwise, they would become a disaster in the future.
Like this, the sects that were after the Nine Regions Chamber of Commerce would get the exact information. Those sects had a total of eight hundred thousand people who disappeared from the God Domain, and whether or not the Nine Prefectures Pavilion passed or passed, the result couldn't be more obvious.1
Furthermore, from the looks of the people sent out by Nine Prefectures Pavilion, they could tell that their power had not weakened at all.
This meant that those spies were speaking the truth, that there really was a artifact that could kill eight hundred thousand people in Nine Prefectures Pavilion, shaped like a black city, and was most likely Hua Ruge's artifact.
The higher-ups of these sects were all dumbfounded. They thought to themselves, isn't this abnormal? So many sects had sent out so many powerful experts to surround and attack them, but in the end, there were only corpses left.
This matter spread more and more throughout the God Domain. All those who were hesitating to attack Hua Ruge before heard the news were so frightened that their legs went limp and they sat on the chairs.
On the other hand, those sects and citizens who were filled with righteous indignation from the beginning to the end were clapping their hands and cheering, feeling that these shameless people who would repay kindness with enmity should end up like this.
Many storytellers had already prepared to gather the materials and process them into a book. Taking advantage of this heat, they would definitely get fired up.
This was because the merchants and ordinary cultivators above the Nine Prefectures Pavilion had all descended the mountains and returned to the various cities. These people had seen such scenes before, so they naturally could not help but speak of it when they saw such a scene.
What they said was very detailed, it was how Sky City worked, and where the evil side was. They had recounted what the Sect Leader of The Ten Thousand Swords and their Nine Prefectures Pavilion Master had told them that day.
When they heard about the abnormal part of the Sky City, everyone inhaled a breath of cold air, their hearts started to worship Hua Ruge more and more.
If not for this, who would have known that Hua Ruge would still have some trump cards left after the battle of the Immeasurable Devil Sect.
There were many righteous people on the continent who ridiculed the failed sects. They felt that they had overestimated their own abilities and bullied them when they saw that they were pregnant. However, they did not want to meet with a tough opponent, so they brought about their own misfortune.
At the same time these words were being spoken, the disciples of the Nine Prefectures Pavilion had already wiped out the remaining survivors of the several tens of sects and looted all the assets of those sects as well as the businesses within the city.
Those people definitely didn't expect that not only did they not get any benefits from this trip, they even paid with their entire assets.
This way, the development of the Nine Regions Chamber of Commerce would be even more successful. This time, not to mention that she was only pregnant, as long as she was still alive, there would probably be no one who would dare to have any ideas about the merchant guild or Nine Prefectures Pavilion. The consequences would be too serious.
