526 Where is Speechless Lis house (2/2)
”Ah!”
Timid girls could not help but scream as the situation immediately turned chaotic. No one had the mind to surround Shi Xiaobai as they turned to escape the vicinity of the nexus. However, with so many people crowded inside the nexus, it was not that simple to evacuate. Instantly, there was a stampede.
”Ah! Sob…”
There were people who cried out of shock, afraid that the phenomenon was a calamity and that they would die there and then.
The situation was in utter chaos.
”Silence!”
Suddenly, a repressive voice resounded through the area, drowning out everyone's voices!
An azure figure that resembled a mountain suddenly appeared outside the nexus. It was a blurry figure and its features could not be discerned. However, it was humanoid in shape and was about ten floors tall. It stood under the heavens and emitted a redoubtable aura.
”Azure Emperor Jiang Tianyou!”
A few well-read and famous heroes instantly recognized the massive azure figure. It was Jiang Tianyou's 'Azure Emperor Phantom' which was one of his famous divine techniques.
The chaotic crowd quietened down because of the phantom as the massive azure figure struck terror in the hearts but it also made them relieved. It was a dilemma that left them unable to make a single sound.
Jiang Tianyou suddenly spoke and said in a solemn fashion, like the gong from an ancient monastery. ”A calamity is approaching, cooperate and evacuate!”
A calamity is approaching, cooperate and evacuate.
This was a phrase that was common throughout the world. In this world that needed heroes, calamities were abundant. It might be a terrorist attack or a criminal faction acting wantonly. It could be the arrival of a meteor shower or calamity fiends crossing through rifts. Whenever a calamity happened, other than saving the situation, heroes also had an extremely important task, that was to help the evacuation of the victims of the calamity.
No one knew when or where a calamity would happen. It was unknown if it would happen in a situation with a crowd.
Therefore, the mindset of being orderly and helping each other, so as to prevent a stampede was educated to the masses from a young age. It was also a necessary life-saving measure commoners had to learn.
Therefore, when Jiang Tianyou mentioned 'a calamity is approaching, cooperate and evacuate', the panicking crowd immediately calmed down. They began to evacuate in an orderly fashion. There was no shoving or stampeding. People cooperated with each other and formed lines. It was safe and quick, as though they were well-trained and disciplined soldiers.
Outside the nexus, a hunchbacked elder with white brows looked at the golden lines that were constantly cracking and vanishing. His brows were deeply furrowed and his expression was ugly.
Yang Weiwei, who was standing by the side while watching the evacuating crowd, had a worried look. She was feeling nervous as she could not help but ask, ”Grandpa, what exactly is happening? Why did it suddenly…”
Jiang Tianyou sighed. ”The Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower is…collapsing.”
”Ah?”
Yang Weiwei exclaimed with a look of disbelief.
It was common for lands of trials to collapse. However, the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower was China's only land of trials that ranked in the top eight in the world. It was an important trial for people at the Psionic Mortal Realm. If it were to collapse, it would result in great repercussions that could not be underestimated.
Jiang Tianyou sighed again. This old man that had his mind on the country and cared for the people was having a heavy heart.
Suddenly, Jiang Tianyou's pupils constricted slightly as his expression changed drastically.
He vaguely saw a figure suddenly charge out from the collapsing golden light. Although it was an instant, the figure had already opened up a distance from the area. But that instant was enough for Jiang Tianyou to vaguely discern the figure's appearance.
Dressed in a colorful gown with snake hair reaching to her waist, it was a woman with gorgeous looks and seductive figure.
More importantly, her cultivation level was unfathomable.
”Perhaps…”
Jiang Tianyou muttered to himself in an inaudible manner, ”Perhaps…another monster has come into this world.”
…
…
Shanghai City, Downtown region.
Shi Xiaobai came out of a dark alley while covering his face.
With the sudden calamity, he had used Crab Steps as fast as he could to escape the sights of the crowd. Next, he ran haphazardly and entered the alleys, finally evading the passionate horde.
However, Shi Xiaobai was completely unaware where he was.
But that did not matter. Although he didn't know where he was, as long as he knew his destination, he would definitely not get lost!
It was because Shi Xiaobai had a unique way of finding his way.
Shi Xiaobai came to the downtown area with his face covered and reached out his hand to grab the arm of a woman in red who happened to walk pass.
The woman in red turned her head in astonishment.
With Shi Xiaobai covering his face with his hand, he asked in a deep tone, ”Where is Speechless Li's house?”
