Although there were more than twenty thousand people in the town, and half of them were Godly King realm experts, none of them were prepared.
However, everyone was caught off guard and had no idea what they were about to face.
Many of them had just rushed out of their houses and courtyards when they saw the entire town being covered by a large array.
Then, a huge golden palm descended from the sky, capturing and wrapping them up.
It was so strong that it was suffocating. It was an irresistible force that bound them tightly.
They could not move, nor could they shout for help. They were stuffed into an unfamiliar space.
"Swish!"
It was the fourth level of the Nine Heavens Ten Absolutes Pagoda.
When the divine pagoda was upgraded to an Emperor-level divine artifact, Ji Tianxing had modified the internal space of the divine pagoda.
At this moment, the fourth level's space was like a small world filled with beauty. It had magnificent mountains, blue skies, and white clouds.
Those Desolate race commoners, who had been captured and thrown into this small world, were filled with fear. They looked around warily.
When they saw their surroundings and confirmed that there was no immediate danger to their lives, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Following that, they began to explore their surroundings, searching for friends and family.
At the same time, the entire town fell into chaos. Countless Desolate race commoners rushed out of their houses and alleys.
There were even many Godly King realm experts who realized that an expert was attacking the town. They joined forces to cast spells to launch a counterattack.
However, it was all futile. The divine techniques cast by the Godly King realm experts were unable to break through the sealing array.
Instead, it was their desperate counterattack that made them Ji Tianxing's primary targets. Soon, they were captured by the huge golden palm that descended from the sky, and brought to the fourth level of the Nine Heavens Ten Absolutes Pagoda.
Batch after batch of Desolate race commoners were captured by Ji Tianxing and imprisoned in the divine pagoda.
Those Godly King realm experts still had a chance to resist. They still wanted to break through the sealing array and escape.
As for those Divine Lord realm commoners, they did not even have a chance to resist before they were captured by the huge golden palm.
In just fifteen minutes, more than twenty-three thousand Desolate race commoners had been captured by Ji Tianxing.
There were about a thousand Desolate race citizens left. They were either hiding in secret chambers in some of the buildings or deep underground.
The previously prosperous and prosperous town had now become a mess. Nearly half of the houses and buildings had collapsed and turned into ruins.
It was even to the extent that a few dozen bonfires had been ignited in the middle of the dense and dilapidated walls, causing flames to soar into the sky and thick smoke to rise into the sky.
Other than the fact that there were no bloodstains or corpses in the ruins, the entire town looked like it had been massacred.
As for the thousand plus Desolate race citizens that were hiding underground, eighty percent of them had been found by Ji Tianxing and locked up in the fourth level of the divine pagoda.
Only three hundred Desolate race members' luckily escaped the calamity '. They hid deep underground and trembled for an hour. Only when they heard that there was no more commotion outside did they dare to reveal themselves.
At this time, the sealing formation that enveloped the entire town had long since disappeared.
The unknown powerful enemy and the giant golden palm that descended from the sky had also disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared.
The three hundred Desolate race citizens, who had 'narrowly escaped death', carefully crawled out of the ruins. They sorrowfully surveyed their surroundings in search of other survivors.
The result was without a doubt. They did not find any other survivors. All they saw was a devastated town that had turned into ruins. It had been reduced to ashes amidst the flames and thick smoke.
Other than that, these survivors discovered a special mark on the periphery of the ruins.
It was outside the town's city walls. On the bluestone paved road, there was a circular mark that was about a hundred feet in radius.
The mark looked like a gigantic sun, and there were a few stars and a cloud engraved on it.
This simple pattern did not have any text in it, so the surviving Desolate race citizens could not tell what it was.
In their shock, they could only take out their transmission jade slips and quickly report the news to the City Lord.
There were still some survivors who did not dare to stay near the ruins. They fled the town overnight and rushed to a distant city.
…
Ji Tianxing returned to the Green Jade Hall's headquarters and silently entered Green Jade City.
Before daybreak, he returned to his residence and entered a chamber to meditate.
An hour later, daybreak arrived.
As usual, he got up and walked out of the chamber. With the help of the maidservants, he washed up and entered the study to handle official business.
No one noticed anything unusual. Everyone thought that he had meditated in the chamber for the entire night as usual. He did not even step out of his room.
The development of the matter was as he expected.
An hour later, the guard captain, who was in charge of communication, walked into the study with a solemn expression, holding a communication jade slip in his hand.
"Lord Advisor, there is a very important matter to report to you.
Just last night, a shocking incident happened in one of the important towns under Black Mountain City's jurisdiction! "
The guard captain did not waste any time, nor did he dare speak any nonsense. He gave a concise summary of the matter and handed the transmission jade slip to Ji Tianxing.
Ji Tianxing also revealed a 'shocked' expression. He hurriedly took the jade slip and checked its contents.
The message was from the Black Mountain City Governor. He angrily described what had happened in that town.
After Ji Tianxing read the message, he also revealed an appropriate expression of shock. He slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Damn it! This is too despicable!
How many years has it been? Thousands of years? Tens of thousands of years? Such a horrifying thing had never happened before!
More than 20,000 people in the town were slaughtered by an unknown powerhouse?
I will definitely investigate this matter and give the people of Black Mountain City an explanation! "
After he finished speaking, Ji Tianxing put away the transmission jade slip and immediately gave the order to gather the Green Jade Hall Master, several generals, and 2,000 elite soldiers.
In less than 15 minutes, four generals and 2,000 soldiers, as well as the Green Jade Hall Master and 3,000 guards, all gathered in the square.
Ji Tianxing led the 5,000 soldiers and boarded five divine warships. They rushed to Black Mountain City at the fastest speed, the small town in the mountains.
Half a day later, the fleet arrived at the small town.
Although they were still far away, everyone could clearly see that the once prosperous town had become a pile of ruins.
Many buildings in the small town were still burning, and black smoke was rising in spirals.
Ji Tianxing, the Green Jade Hall Master, and the generals were the first to walk out of the divine warship. They stood in the sky above the small town and looked down at the situation.
The 5,000 soldiers spread out and surrounded the small town. Then, they searched for survivors in the ruins and looked for clues.
Everything was carried out in an orderly manner. Everyone's faces and eyes were filled with indignation.
In the end, they did not find any survivors, nor did they find any useful clues.
Only the mark on the bluestone road outside the half-collapsed city wall attracted the attention of Ji Tianxing and the others.
Ji Tianxing "studied" the strange mark for a while, but he did not have any clues. He sent someone to copy the mark and bring it back for investigation.
