In that very moment, a phrase came to Jiang He's mind unwittingly —
Mountains crumbled and the earth split!
The land within a radius of dozens of li had been completely turned into ruins. Cracks formed by the violent tremors extended more than a hundred li. Large amounts of mountains collapsed and split open. All of the beasts in the great Dong Mountain were crying out in fear and fleeing.
Yan Dehao was stunned by the sight.
His legs were still shaking when he landed on the rubble, and he wailed, "Mister Jiang, it really wasn't me … I was just so anxious that I stamped my foot, and this is what happened."
Jiang He glanced at Yan Dehao.
This guy …
Was he an actor?
Don't you have any idea if you're the one who caused this or not?
If you could really cause mountains to crumble with a stomp of your foot and cause such a ruckus, why would you need to be a spy at the Sky Demon Cult? You would have overturned the Sky Demon Cult all by yourself.
"Sigh, what a shame."
Jiang He shook his head and sighed.
His sigh made Yan Dehao stop wailing at once, and he stared at Jiang He in surprise.
What's a shame?
You're the biggest winner tonight, aren't you?
Slaying two Cardinals, the Sentinel of the Left, the Fifth Elder, several Holy Children, and several Decans, as well as killing the Graywolf King and obtaining the legacy and treasures in the heritage site …
Why did he look so disappointed?
He was not aware that Jiang He was feeling sorry for the corpses.
Leaving aside the Feral corpses for now, the corpses of the average high-ranked Ferals were too weak for Jiang He to feed them to a dog. On the other hand, the corpses of the Sky Demon Cult's Cardinals, Sentinels, Elders, Holy Children, and Grands were wasted, buried by the collapsing mountain.
He would definitely grow a lot of grave grass if he planted them.
When the time comes, Dumbo and Trumbo would definitely improve their abilities and abilities by leaps and bounds when they consume it.
"Still, that's fine. The corpses are buried underground, and both Dumbo and Trumbo have awakened earth-type powers. I'll give Cheng Dongfeng a call when I'm done and have him bring them over, and I could dig them up in minutes."
After all …
Both Dumbo and Trumbo had never traveled far or come to Mount Dadong. What if they got lost if they came here on their own?
… …
Lingzhou City.
Martial Arts Department (MAD).
Cheng Dongfeng rubbed his sleepy eyes and cursed as he walked into Duan Tianhe's office. Seeing that both Duan Tianhe and Ji Dongxu were there, he asked in surprise, "Old Duan, Grandmaster Ji, why aren't you asleep in the middle of the night? What happened this time?"
"There's an earthquake. Don't you know?"
Duan Tianhe glanced at Cheng Dongfeng. You're a Martial Dao Grandmaster, why are you sleeping so soundly?
Even an earthquake didn't wake you up?
However, considering Cheng Dongfeng's personality, it was normal that he did not feel the tremors in Lingzhou City. Not to mention that he was sleeping, he might not have noticed it even when he was awake.
Changing his tone, Duan Tianhe said, "I've already contacted the earthquake bureau. The epicenter of the earthquake should be on Mount Dadong. According to the data the earthquake bureau has detected … this earthquake is very strange. The epicenter is very shallow. Perhaps it wasn't formed naturally. According to the earthquake bureau's data, the strongest earthquake zone on Mount Dadong may have reached a magnitude of 9 or above."
Cheng Dongfeng was instantly wide awake.
Dong Mountain?
An earthquake of magnitude 9 or above?
It was fortunate that the epicenter was shallow. Lingzhou City would not have been so lightly affected if it was deeper, but it did not matter since it happened on Mount Dadong.
Cheng Dongfeng could not help laughing out loud. "Isn't that a good thing? It would be better if the earthquake buried those vermin … hold on … Old Duan, what do you mean when you said that the earthquake wasn't formed naturally? "
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly blinked and came to a realization.
If it wasn't formed naturally … did it mean that it was man-made?
For some reason, Jiang He's name popped up in Cheng Dongfeng's mind at once.
He suddenly remembered that Zhou Yu had called to ask about Jiang He's whereabouts, and that he had jokingly said, "Could Jiang He have gone to blow up Mount Dadong?"
Cheng Dongfeng's expression turned weird then.
What the hell!
Could Jiang He be the one behind all this? Did he blow up Mount Dadong?
Did his joke come true?
"Old Duan … did you get in touch with Jiang He?"
Cheng Dongfeng's voice became a little hoarse, and Jiang He's words in the afternoon appeared in his mind … he would solve the problem of Mount Dadong with the most dependable method.
So, was blowing up Mount Dadong considered dependable?
Hmmm …
It might actually be dependable for Jiang He.
Duan Tianhe shook his head, saying, "Deputy Zhou had called a few times, and I tried over an hour ago as well, but I couldn't get through."
"You could have sent someone to Jiang He's house if you couldn't get through!" Cheng Dongfeng was panicking then. "Didn't Deputy Zhou say before? Minister Wang wants to negotiate with the Dragoncroc Emperor, which is why he told Jiang He to cultivate in peace and not cause any trouble before the outcome is out. But now, I can't get in touch with Jiang He … "
Cheng Dongfeng felt a little panicked.
Cheng Dongfeng was a little flustered. Could Jiang He have finished his business already?
"I did send someone, but they were chased away by a sword-wielding dog the moment they reached Jiang He's house." Duan Tianhe chuckled bitterly and helplessly.
A sword-wielding dog?
The image was so weird.
Still, once he remembered that the dog was Jiang He's pet, he felt that it was only natural.
"I know what you're thinking, Old Cheng, but this has nothing to do with Jiang He. Jiang He does like using bombs, but according to him, his bombs are homecooked bombs he made himself, and they wouldn't be that powerful."
"Moreover, if there really is a bomb that the aftershocks could be felt even from over a hundred and fifty kilometers away, the yield would be terrifying, and the city would be able to see the explosion at night."
Cheng Dongfeng could not help nodding after listening to Duan Tianhe's rational analysis, and his panicked heart relaxed considerably.
Still, to be on the safe side …
He decided to go to Jiang He's house personally, even if it was four in the morning and he risked getting beaten up.
Still, Cheng Dongfeng's phone rang just as he rose to his feet.
He whipped out his phone, shuddered when he saw the caller ID, and threw the phone away.
"What is it?"
Duan Tianhe and Ji Dongxu looked at him, puzzled.
"It's a call from Jiang He!"
Taking a deep breath, Cheng Dongfeng carefully picked up the phone, muttering to himself, "Am I being too paranoid? Maybe Jiang He was startled awake by the earthquake and called to ask? "
He answered the call.
Jiang He's voice could be heard from the other end, asking, "Are you asleep, grandson?"
The word 'grandson' immediately caused the atmosphere in the office to fall into an awkward silence.
Seeing that both Duan Tianhe and Ji Dongxu were staring at him weirdly, Cheng Dongfeng laughed out loud and changed the topic, "Is there something you need from me, Jiang He? By the way, did you know about the earthquake just now? "
Jiang He?
Mount Dadong. Atop a pile of rubble.
Jiang He frowned.
Old Cheng's ego had swelled!
He was calling me grand-master just this afternoon, and now he's calling me by name in the blink of an eye?
Still, now was not the time to care about that, and Jiang He exclaimed in surprise, "Earthquake? Is there an earthquake at Lingzhou City? "
"Yeah."
Cheng Dongfeng replied. "I heard from the earthquake bureau that the epicenter was at Mount Dadong. It seems that it was affected there, but it's not a big problem."
"Nonsense!"
Jiang He barked. "Who told you the epicenter was at Mount Dadong? The earthquake bureau? Isn't the earthquake bureau bullsh * t? What earthquake? It's clearly just a heritage site collapsing … how could it have anything to do with an earthquake? "
(PS: Sorry for the late update. I'll have to work until three or four in the morning as usual.)
