Chapter 956: On the Verge of Tears, the Goldenleaf King
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Millman97
Outside the hall in which the many master teachers had been imprisoned, the two Kings frowned as they stared at the room before them intently .
"Why is there no movement inside at all?" the Greenleaf King asked with a livid face .
They had been waiting outside for nearly an hour now, and they had expected to hear the sounds of fighting as the fake Goldenleaf King killed a few master teachers to establish his dominance over them . Yet, contrary to their expectations, there was nothing at all . It was as if the people inside had vanished altogether!
"I also think that something is amiss here . Should we take a peek inside with our Spiritual Perception?" the Goldenleaf King asked .
"That doesn't seem like a good idea . The other party is an expert who is on par with us, so checking on him with our Spiritual Perception would be rather disrespectful . Furthermore, if what he is doing truly involves confidential information for the superiors, this might bring trouble upon us," the Greenleaf King replied with a conflicted expression .
If not for fear of the latter's strength, he would have already checked on the situation within with his Spiritual Perception instead of waiting helplessly outside .
"You are right . " The Goldenleaf King nodded before falling silent .
Boom!
At that moment, the ground suddenly rumbled as an immense quantity of spiritual energy from the surroundings surged toward the palace at the center of the base .
With an awful look on his face, the Greenleaf King quickly turned to the subordinate beside him and asked authoritatively, "What is going on?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, the ruckus seems to be from the Palace of Runes . " Tong Yue hurriedly took a look, and his face immediately turned ghastly white .
The Palace of Runes was the center of their base . If something were to happen to it, all of the work they had done could very well be undone .
Frowning in displeasure, the Greenleaf King spoke as the ground rumbled violently once more . "Palace of Runes? Let's go take a look!"
Huala!
A cloud of dust rose as smoke swiftly permeated the base .
Following which, a large area of buildings began crumbling down as if a devastating avalanche had swept through the area . All of the defensive formations that had been set up on them dissipated as if ice before a scorching sun . There were even some that exploded due to their energy running amok, severely wounding the unguarded Otherworldly Demons in the area .
The formations were driven by the spiritual energy supplied by the Palace of Runes . If anything happened to the Palace of Runes, the other formations would be affected as well .
The more powerful a formation was, the greater the backlash when something happened to it . This was similar to a balloon filled with air . If the air within it were to be leaked all of a sudden, it could very well run out of control .
"My buildings…" Tong Yue nearly burst into tears on the spot .
Two months ago, the moment they had passed through the seal and entered the Subterranean Gallery, they had begun building this base . It had taken them a lot of effort and a great amount of resources in order to expand it to its current scale . Yet, for all of it to be reduced to rubble in the blink of an eye… He couldn't help but feel light-headed, and a stifling sensation welled up in his chest, causing him to spurt a huge mouthful of blood .
On the other hand, watching the destruction unfolding before his eyes, the Greenleaf King's body also twitched as he muttered, "The cause seems to be the depletion of spiritual energy in the Palace of Runes . "
With his eye of discernment, he could easily tell the cause of the destruction . However, the Palace of Runes was heavily guarded and reinforced with formations, so it should have been impossible for anything to happen to it in the first place .
Just as the Greenleaf King was bewildered by the situation before him, the Goldenleaf King's face abruptly warped in shock as he exclaimed, "How could this be?"
"What happened?" The Greenleaf King and Tong Yue turned their eyes over simultaneously .
"Look at the hall in front of us!" The Goldenleaf King pointed forward with a pale face .
Frowning, the duo turned their gazes in front, only to see that the hall before their eyes had collapsed into a cloud of dust and rubble as well .
"What is wrong? This hall was built using top-grade Bluemetal Stone and has been reinforced by many formations, but considering that most of the other buildings have collapsed too… it shouldn't come as any surprise that this building suffered the same fate," Tong Yue remarked, confused by the Goldenleaf King's huge response to the matter .
"Collapse your head! Where is that fellow and the master teachers? Don't you think it's weird how they didn't come out when the entire hall is already in such a state?" the Goldenleaf King bellowed furiously .
"This…" It was then that the duo realized, and their faces warped in astonishment . The Greenleaf King immediately activated his Spiritual Perception to peer into the rubble, and his body stiffened at the outcome of the scan .
Within the rubble, there was not a single living being to be sensed . It was as if that tribesman had vanished together with the many master teachers!
"They are gone . " The Greenleaf King turned to look at the livid Goldenleaf King with a look of horror .
"We've been had by that fellow . Hurry, head to the Palace of Runes!" the Greenleaf King roared after realizing what had happened, and together with the Goldenleaf King, they quickly rushed over .
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the collapsed Palace of Runes, and after a quick examination of the surroundings, their vision went dark .
With their eye of discernment, they could easily tell that this wasn't an accident but a man-made incident .
In other words, just a moment ago, someone had sapped the Palace of Runes dry of its spiritual energy and destroyed the inscriptions on the walls and pillars, resulting in the devastating collapse .
Otherwise, the Palace of Runes couldn't have been reduced to such a state even if an accident were to occur .
"Master teacher! That fellow must be a master teacher!" The Greenleaf King clenched his fist tightly as the truth suddenly dawned on him .
Except for a master teacher, it was impossible for an ordinary cultivator to tell that the Palace of Runes was the center of the entire base and destroy it so utterly . On top of that, the matter of the other party wanting some private time with the master teachers was extremely suspicious as well, especially given their disappearance shortly after . No matter how slow they might be, it was clear that the other party's purpose was not to interrogate them but to save them!
The Goldenleaf King stepped forward and exclaimed in disbelief, "But how did they get away? The both of us have been keeping a close eye on the hall, and there were defensive formations set up around the area as well . "
To think that they, Kings of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, Saint realm 4-dan experts, would actually be toyed with by another! Just the thought of it left them frenzied .
