Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 123 Collapse of the Shura Cultists

As they approached, the sounds of the building collapsing and people crying out became clearer. Along the way, they occasionally heard pedestrians shouting, "911 is here again..."

When they were less than fifty meters away from the Shura Tower, Eric and the others were dismayed to find that the entire road was blocked. People were outside, and cars were inside. It seemed that after the tower began to collapse, the drivers did not dare to pass through that section of road and were blocked by later cars. Unable to reverse, they had to abandon their cars and flee for safety.

Because the building was still collapsing, everyone was unable to rescue anyone inside and could only do what they could. Some prayed, some called for help, and some called emergency and news hotlines.

Looking at the circle of people, with his wig and his Elvis Presley-like appearance, the Great Vehicle Dharma King said to Eric, "Rinpoche, what should we do now? Should we drive away these onlookers?"

Eric looked around and pointed to a ten-story apartment building next to the Shura Tower. "No need, let's go up there."

Seven minutes later, they reached the top floor and opened the locked iron door, stepping onto the rooftop.

At this time, the Shura Tower was still collapsing, as the earth-element magic elements were only destroying the walls and foundations made of earth and stones. Even if they were turned into sand, it would still take some time.

Seeing the terrified expressions of the Shura cultists escaping from the building and hearing the desperate cries of those still inside, Ren Qingang felt compassion.

Seeing his reluctance, Eric smiled and said, "Ren Qingang, do you think these ordinary people are simply misled by the traitor Li Hong, and that they are not deserving of death?"

Having learned his lesson once, Ren Qingang dared not respond and simply bowed his head deeply.

"A pure white khata only needs a drop of ink to be stained! Those whose souls are no longer pure need us to cleanse them!"

These two seemingly inexplicable sentences seemed to enlighten the lamas. In their contemplative expressions, the Shura Tower finally collapsed completely, turning into a pile of steel and sand!

As the ceiling of the conference room collapsed burying Li Hong, the Shura cultists and their families upstairs were also fleeing for their lives. Netizens uploaded:

They didn't know why the building suddenly started shaking. The tilting and breaking of objects in the room made them involuntarily recall the earthquake of 1994.

Driven by fear, countless people ran out of their rooms, rushing towards the elevators and corridors, hoping to escape to solid ground as quickly as possible.

The Shura Tower had eight elevators, which were usually sufficient for the nearly two hundred households to use. Sometimes, when there were many people, they would politely give way to each other, letting the elderly and those with urgent matters go first.

But now, such virtues had shattered under the pressure of escape, exposing the selfish side of human nature.

Older than me? Then step aside and let me go first. After all, you don't have much time left, so why not give the chance of survival to me, the younger one? This way, I can make more contributions to the great cause of our cult...

Urgent matter? Who cares, kid? In this situation, isn't it a matter of life and death for everyone?

As soon as the elevator doors opened, they immediately turned into sardine cans, packed so tightly that not a single gap could be found. If it weren't for a few core members with decent skills who voluntarily gave up their positions and arranged the scene, these elevators would probably still be unable to descend due to overload after the building collapsed completely.

Although the elevators were fast and convenient, they carried few people. Many chose the corridors instead. They were lucky! Because while they were rushing, the eight elevators were plummeting at breakneck speed!

Yes, they were falling, falling like free fall!

Because the cable racks that supported the elevators were fixed to the roof, and the roof and foundation were the easiest to be penetrated by earth-element magic elements. How could a partially sandified roof withstand the force of falling elevators filled with people? Without exception, all eight elevators lost traction almost simultaneously and plummeted downward...

Of course, it doesn't mean that taking the corridors was necessarily safe. Although the vast majority of earth-element magic elements were in the dandified roof, foundation, and walls, there was still a small portion that entered the interior of the building.

Often, people would suddenly fall into a mysterious sand pit while running, and some even fell directly to the next floor along with a large amount of mud and sand.

The tragic simultaneous fall of the eight fully loaded elevators and the sudden appearance of sand pit holes in the corridors were all terrifying. Many Shura cultists lost control and cried out loudly.

Especially for those residents who were on high floors and couldn't escape immediately, what could they do besides crying out when they had no way to go up and no way to go down?

It was much better for those living on lower floors. When the building first shook, they quickly evacuated through the corridors, and some even had time to take a few valuable items.

When they reached the street saw the swaying building, and heard the faint cries, they were crying while secretly feeling lucky.

In the Shura Tower, the higher the floor, the higher the status of the resident in the cult. Previously, almost all residents on lower floors hoped to "move up to a higher floor" in their hearts. But now, they were all silently reciting, "Don't say the higher the building, the better. When it's time to die, you can't escape!"

As the building shook more and more violently, and as more and more holes appeared in the corridors, the emotions of the Shura cultists gradually collapsed.

Countless people begged for help from their leader, who was said to be the reincarnation of "Shakyamuni." But no one could have imagined that their great leader was now under their feet, buried in a pile of sand and rocks in the underground conference room.

Earth-element magic elements originated from the earth, and the energy they obtained from the earth was far greater than that of the suspended roof or walls. Therefore, the destruction of the lower floors of the Shura Tower was ten times faster than that of surface buildings.

What was even more astonishing was that all of Li Hong's important forces were underground at this moment. These included:

The Guardians led by the Venerable Dharma King, were usually used to guard the Shura Tower and sometimes secretly went out to eliminate enemies of the cult.

The killing machines trained by the Venerable Dharma King with brutal and inhuman secret methods, which were secret weapons never revealed in the world.

Of course, there were also the Shura Death Warriors created personally by Li Hong, who only had the skill of "self-destruction."

Finally, there were the gangsters recruited today and gathered on the underground floor by the Black Dharma King.

Dozens of Guardians staying on the first underground floor were closer to the ground, so they were able to escape to the surface before the staircase became sandified.

But the gangsters concentrated on the second floor were not so lucky! Their agility, relative to ordinary people, did not give them an advantage in this situation. Even if some clever individuals realized the situation was not right and immediately tried to escape, only a few who ran ahead could survive and run out of the Shura Tower alive, while the rest were left on the first floor due to the sandification of the staircase.

The third underground floor was where Li Hong created the Shura Death Warriors. These mind-controlled living dead would not take any action without orders. Even if they had the instinct to escape, they probably stayed on the first underground floor like most of the gangsters.

The fourth floor was the conference room, where the people inside were relatively loyal and did not flee on their own, but were digging through the soil to save their leader!

The fifth underground floor was where the Vajra Dharma King secretly trained the guards according to Li Hong's orders. Unlike the Shura Death Warriors, these "guards" were brainwashed from a young age and remained loyal to Li Hong without losing their minds. When they sensed something was wrong, they immediately used their light skills to escape to the upper floors.

When they reached the fourth floor, they happened to see the object of their loyalty...
