Chapter 1062 An Unexpected Explosion

Chapter 1062 An Unexpected Explosion

The elders holding Patriarch Ma Yun were caught off guard and didn't know what was happening when his body started to glow in an orange light. But soon their screams could be heard as the energy started burning them.

"ARRGGHHHH!!"

"NOOO!!!!"

Tens of screams were heard as the energy damaged the elders directly. They didn't have their guard up with their patriarch and it had directly affected their bodies.

"HOW!?" The Supreme elder standing some distance away saw the situation and was left stunned.

He could sense the strong energy fluctuation, but was helpless to do anything.

~KABOOM~

In the next second, the energy seemed to have reached a peak and exploded!

~RUMBLE~

The shock wave spread at a speed faster than sound, knocking away and killing all those that stood in its way. The supreme elder was one of the few that had his guard up and barely managed to defend himself.

But even then, he was sent flying.

The Ocean End Slaughter formation array stopped almost immediately with its controllers being dead or knocked out. The disciples were the most unfortunate, having been killed without even knowing what happened.

The tides that were pushing Lin Mu back faded away without the formation array, giving him the chance to retreat quickly. He had already sensed that something was wrong with the patriarch when the orange light started to come off his body.

Lin Mu's spirit sense was stronger than anyone in here, which was also why he detected it quickly. That was also why he had chosen to get swept away by the tides, even though he had multiple methods to dodge it.

Sensing the anomaly in the patriarch's body, Lin Mu knew he had to be at a safe distance, but at the same time he didn't want to retreat outright as it might give the others some idea about a trap.

Thus, he let the formation array push him, while also putting distance between everything.

"The explosion was unexpected… I thought it would just kill the patriarch." Lin Mu muttered, seeing the chaotic cloud of spirit Qi that damaged everything.

There were traces of metal spirit Qi in it, but the majority was just attribute less spirit Qi. Though Lin Mu also sensed the Patriarch's aura in it, which made him think that this was all the spirit Qi from his body.

Lin Mu soared into the sky and observed as the damage continued to spread. The explosion seemed to have triggered some kind of a chain reaction and all formations that were in its path were destabilized before exploding as well.

And with this place being a sect, there were plenty of formations everywhere, from normal durability formations that protected the buildings and paths, to spirit Qi gathering formation arrays.

The effect continued for about a minute, after which all the spirit Qi was exhausted. Only a scene of devastation and death was left behind after that.

"This… was not exactly what I intended…" Lin Mu muttered as he saw the dead bodies, most of which had been damaged beyond recognition.

Lin Mu's spirit sense scanned for survivors and could only find a few. But even those were on the brink of death and could die at any moment.

Only when he extended his spirit sense farther did he find survivors. These were the disciples, who were located away from the expulsion radius. They were mostly outer court disciples and servants who weren't really qualified to join the ocean end formation array.

Most of them were only at the early or mid stage of the Qi refining realm with the servants not even cultivators.

They were left with expressions of dread and fear as they witnessed the devastation of their sect.

Lin Mu wordlessly flew towards them and gazed at them from the sky, his face still.

The disciples on the ground saw Lin Mu and were filled with terror.

"FIEND!"

"MONSTER!"

"DEVIL! HE'S A DEVIL!"

"RUN!!! RUN!!! HE'S COME TO KILL US ALL!"

Cries of desperation were heard as the disciples broke out of their stupor and started to run. Some stumbled and fell to the ground, injuring themselves but stood out without a care and continued to run.

~Sigh~

Seeing this scene, Lin Mu didn't know how to feel and could only let out a sigh.

"Little Shrubby," Lin Mu called out.

~SHUA~

A red blur appeared next to him at that moment, and Lin Mu looked at him.

Little Shrubby was the same as always, and his thoughts were calm too.

"Was what I did fine, Little Shrubby?" Lin Mu asked.

"If master did it, then it must be fine." Little Shrubby replied.

~Sigh~

'I don't know if it was though…' Lin Mu thought before getting onto his back.

"Let's go… we need to get stronger." Lin Mu said in a low voice.

"Okay!" Little Shrubby said, and started running.

In a few seconds, he was but a mere blur and disappeared on the horizon.

Lin Mu didn't know that his actions today would send the entire great Zhou empire into a tizzy.

Never had there been a time when a top sect had been wiped out in a single day. Even during the past, when great wars still raged, sects were destroyed, but not in a single day. It would take weeks or months for the same result.

And yet… it had happened today.

The survivors of the West Ocean sect soon spread the news, and it spread like wildfire. Everyone from the south of the continent to the very northern tips knew about it. And when other powers sent their people to confirm the news, they were left shocked and scared.

After all, this was the work of a single man.

And if a single man like that could eradicate an entire sect like that, what's to say that he wouldn't do the same to their own sect or kingdom?

The identity of the man was unknown until the portraits were made. The face of the man was unknown to most, other than the Long Cloud alliance.

After all, the man behind the slaughter was their leader.
