979: Concerns

“What is that?”

Kahn, who was flying at high speed, suddenly hovered in the air, staring dumbfounded at what was in front of him.

Not far away, in the sky, a vast Holy Light gathered, emitting a terrifying aura that righteously obliterated all filth.

This Holy Light, even with Kahn's Late Stage Ninth-tier strength, made him incredibly alarmed!

Although the total amount of power contained within it had not reached the level that could severely wound him, the Holy Light within it made him extremely wary.

That was… the power that countered the Dead Spirit Race!

“Damn it, didn't Wang Chen comprehend the Ice Law and the Gold Law? What's going on with this power?”

Kahn was filled with doubt and apprehension, hovering in mid-air, somewhat hesitant.

The situation in the battle zone ahead did not match the intelligence he had received, which made Kahn somewhat worried that, besides Wang Chen, there were other people fighting Vast Treasure True Lord.

And it was this pause that caused the Holy Light, gathered a hundred miles away, to suddenly erupt, transforming into an immense pillar of Holy Light that descended from the sky.

This pillar of Holy Light contained materialized divine power, dispelling all darkness in its path, even annihilating the Dead Spirit power between heaven and earth into nothingness.

Even though Kahn was watching from nearly a hundred miles away, a feeling of trepidation arose in his heart; it was a power that, even with his strength, he would have to treat with solemnity.

“Vast Treasure True Lord is finished!”

Kahn sighed deeply.

Under such a powerful strike, unless Vast Treasure True Lord had hidden his Late Stage Ninth-tier strength or possessed a Legacy Emperor Weapon from Xuantian Holy Land, there was absolutely no chance of him surviving.

Boom!!

At this moment, the pillar of Holy Light heavily struck the ground and exploded with a roar!

The intense explosion instantly enveloped an area of several miles, and the terrifying Holy Flames, imbued with Holy Light, burned everything, almost instantaneously annihilating everything within the covered area into nothingness.

Following that, an enormous mushroom cloud shot straight into the sky, continuously expanding and covering half the sky, while terrifying shockwaves spread wildly in all directions, leveling everything in their path; even Kahn, a hundred miles away, had to stir up his magic power to stabilize his body.

“What is this?!!!”

“Such terrifying power fluctuations; this power gives me a sense of grandeur, as if it contains a purer destructive power than the power of darkness!!”

“What happened? Could it be that a Human Race Great True Lord made a move? Impossible! The information states that none of the Human Race Great True Lords control such terrifying power!”

Ogre and the other Dead Spirit powerhouses from Canglan City arrived behind Kahn, looking at the destructive scene in the distance, their eyes filled with surprise and lingering fear.

The terrifying power that erupted in the distance definitely had the ability to destroy them; even at a hundred miles away, it possessed such might. If it had fallen on them, perhaps everyone present, except Kahn who could resist it, would have been annihilated, even Ogre, who was at the Peak of the Middle Stage Ninth-tier!

“City Lord Kahn, what do we do now?”

Ogre looked at Kahn with a somewhat flustered expression.

In his opinion, under such a terrifying attack, the Human Race Vast Treasure True Lord absolutely had no chance of surviving, and their mission to rescue him had already failed!

Moreover, they were still nearly a hundred miles away from where the battle erupted; by the time they arrived, Wang Chen would surely have long since fled, and they would only find an empty space…

Besides that, Ogre was also worried that tonight's events might very well be a trap!

After all, how could there be such a coincidence!

Vast Treasure True Lord had just discussed a plan against Wang Chen with them, and shortly after leaving Canglan City, he was attacked by Wang Chen, and he was defeated so quickly!

Ogre highly suspected that Wang Chen's side had known about Vast Treasure True Lord's plan for a long time, and perhaps Wang Chen and Vast Treasure True Lord were even in cahoots.

Letting Vast Treasure True Lord gain their trust tonight was intended to use Vast Treasure True Lord as bait to lure them into a trap and capture them all.

“City Lord Kahn, the situation over there is unknown, and the power just now is completely outside our scope of knowledge. Your subordinate suspects that there might be an ambush over there, and the other party is waiting for us to walk right into their trap!”

Seeing Kahn hesitate, Ogre couldn't help but try to persuade him again.

He truly didn't want to go; if there really was an ambush, Kahn, with his formidable strength as a Late Stage Ninth-tier, would still have a chance to retreat, but he and his companions would likely die in the ambush.

“This…”

Upon hearing this, Kahn's expression showed some hesitation.

He shared Ogre's concerns, but he was unwilling to leave without taking a look!

After all, unlike Ogre, Kahn knew Vast Treasure True Lord very well and knew that Vast Treasure True Lord could not possibly conspire with Wang Chen.

Not to mention the deep-seated enmity between Vast Treasure True Lord and Wang Chen, just Vast Treasure True Lord's years of cooperation and dealings with the Dead Spirit Race, if exposed, would be enough to make Vast Treasure True Lord reviled and infamous among the Human Race.

Under these circumstances, Vast Treasure True Lord's encounter with Wang Chen's attack tonight was definitely an unforeseen event, but…

How did Wang Chen know Vast Treasure True Lord's movements?

“Could it be that Wang Chen had been lurking outside Canglan City tonight and just happened to discover Vast Treasure True Lord entering Canglan City?”

Kahn thought of a possibility, and his heart couldn't help but be startled, his gaze towards the distance filled with killing intent.

If that were truly the case, then this Wang Chen needed to be eliminated early, otherwise he would cause even greater harm to his Dead Spirit Race.

Vast Treasure True Lord, tonight, was probably taking the fall for their Dead Spirit Race!

Thinking of this, Kahn's expression hardened, and the killing intent in his heart grew even more fervent.

“Retreat, we need to plan Wang Chen's matter carefully!”

With a hateful glance at the distance, Kahn waved his hand, leading Ogre and the other powerhouses to directly turn around and fly towards Canglan City.

…

…

After annihilating Vast Treasure True Lord into nothingness with a single strike, Wang Chen prepared to turn and leave the area.

The signal Vast Treasure True Lord had sent earlier did not escape his notice; given the distance between this place and Dead Spirit Canglan City, the Dead Spirit powerhouses from Canglan City would arrive very soon.

At this moment, Wang Chen did not want to confront City Lord Kahn of Black Abyss City, one of the Upper Five Cities of the Dead Spirit Race, who possessed Late Stage Ninth-tier strength.

However…

“Hmm?”

Just as Wang Chen was preparing to return to Wanshou City, he suddenly frowned and turned to look at the distant sky.

In his perception, more than ten powerful aura fluctuations were just a hundred miles away, and one of them was as majestic and unfathomable as a towering mountain, giving him a feeling of being unable to contend with it.

Clearly, these more than ten powerful auras were the reinforcements Vast Treasure True Lord had summoned from Dead Spirit Canglan City.

Normally, upon detecting the appearance of these aura fluctuations, Wang Chen should have taken advantage of the distance between them to retreat, but at this moment, he remained motionless, his face filled with a strange expression,
