Chapter 416: Don't Look! Don't Look!
Tie Xin Army.
Within the teleportation array, light flashed continuously.
Three Near King-level Elders, along with an army of thirty million soldiers, all descended upon Tie Xin City!
All cultivators immediately dispersed, beginning to inspect the situation within Tie Xin City.
Many experts skilled in concealment immediately rushed out of the city, searching for any nearby clues.
The three powerhouses, Chang Jiu, Xing Yuan, and Tie Mu, stood high in the sky above the city, all scrutinizing the situation within the city, ready to strike and kill enemies at any moment.
"Reporting to the Elders, no discoveries whatsoever!"
"No anomalies, no traces of external enemies found!"
Chang Jiu looked at the scene in the city with a grave expression.
He saw many traces left by cultivators during their activities. Some were practicing sword techniques, their swords lying fallen on the ground, but the people were already gone. Some were crafting weapons, flames rising within the forging furnace, an embryonic weapon being nurtured inside, but the smith was also nowhere to be found. Some were eating and drinking, with half-consumed fine wine and delicacies on the table, even chopsticks scattered across it.These traces were all fresh, all indicating that someone had been active here just moments ago.
Chang Jiu took a deep breath and reversed time.
He saw the city rewind to dozens of breaths earlier.
The city was a scene of bustling activity, everyone performing their tasks according to their assigned duties.
Everything seemed calm and peaceful.
But suddenly, almost everyone froze simultaneously. Regardless of what they were doing, they all came to a standstill there. Then, a Sword Light, its origin unknown, swept through and simultaneously reduced their bodies to ashes!
Seeing this, the three Elders exchanged a look.
"The enemy's strength cannot be underestimated! At least Near King-level! Possibly even stronger!"
"How did the enemy bypass the city's defenses? This method is far too powerful!"
"Almost everyone was hit. How were they all targeted? I can't figure it out!"
All three voiced their respective doubts.
"Wait, I recall intelligence mentioned that a squad of soldiers who came here to exchange supplies escaped unscathed. How did they manage to survive?" Xing Yuan issued another soul-piercing question.
Just as they were completely baffled.
Many members of the allied forces had already begun checking the latest intelligence reports.
And it wasn't just people from the Star Han Kingdom;people from other kingdoms would also check intelligence from other countries. Information within the allied forces was shared.
Naturally, the first to check the messages were the intelligence personnel.
Within the Intelligence Department of the Star Han Kingdom, some individuals opened the message sent by Elder Tie Xin.
They all saw Su Yuan's formidable strength. Some intelligence personnel recorded Su Yuan's appearance and aura, marking him as a Near King-level powerhouse.
After completing the registration, they then saw the final part.
The moment the intelligence personnel saw Su Yuan turn his head, their bodies stiffened one after another. Then, a Sword Light flashed.
These intelligence personnel were slain one by one by the Sword Light.
As figures vanished one after another, the garrison Elder of the Intelligence Department immediately noticed the abnormality.
"Everyone, stop what you are doing!"
The garrison Elder roared.
Everyone stopped their actions in confusion.
Then they saw two people, right before their eyes, abruptly struck and killed by a Sword Light!
"Assassins! There are assassins!" someone shouted.
Everyone nervously scanned their surroundings, but this was the innermost core area of the royal city itself. How could assassins arrive so silently?
The garrison Elder immediately investigated what the dozens of people who had just perished had been doing.
He quickly discovered the commonality. He found that these intelligence personnel had all been sorting through intelligence, and every single one of them had checked the same piece of intelligence, and had all perished after viewing it!
He immediately locked onto this piece of intelligence.
"A piece of intelligence on enemy combat strength? The uploader is... Tie Xin!"
His pupils contracted. He immediately realized the severity of the situation.
Without hesitation, he called over one person and directly had him view this intelligence alone, while he himself chose to observe from the side.
Then, under his horrified gaze, this person, after viewing the intelligence, was annihilated by a single sword strike!
"The reason for Tie Xin's demise has been found!"
His consciousness descended upon the royal city's main hall. He reported to the Star Han King, "Your Majesty, just now, dozens of people perished in my Intelligence Department. My preliminary investigation found that all those who perished did so because they viewed a certain piece of intelligence!"
The Star Han King frowned. "What do you mean?"
"Intelligence? That intelligence uploaded by Tie Xin? There's nothing abnormal about it, is there?"
Chang Jiu spoke up at this moment, "My fellow Elders and I are also viewing this intelligence."
The garrison Elder of the Intelligence Department looked at the three of them in terror and said, "Whatever you do, don't look at the end!"
His warning came too late!
Right before everyone's eyes, the three Near King-level Elders—Chang Jiu, Xing Yuan, and Tie Mu—suddenly froze solid.
Then, their bodies simultaneously turned to nothingness!
Dead!
The Star Han King acted, wanting to prevent their demise, but it was useless!
Their true bodies had already perished. What remained in the great hall were merely Avatars, incapable of stopping the destruction of their True Spirits!
At this moment, everyone's hearts turned half-cold.
The Star Han King did not hesitate. He said, "Immediately seal that piece of intelligence! List it as a forbidden item!"
The garrison Elder sighed. "Your Majesty, I had already preemptively blocked the dissemination of that intelligence. I have also ordered the recall of any copies previously disseminated and issued commands forbidding anyone from viewing it. However, one copy was transmitted to the allied forces. I do not have the authority to prevent the spread of intelligence within the allied forces!"
The Star Han King's pupils contracted sharply.
One of his Avatars was currently within the imperial city hall of the Voidless Heavenly Emperor.
And then he saw that a King from one of the kingdoms abruptly vanished!
The Voidless Heavenly Emperor looked toward that direction in confusion. "What happened to the Ring King?"
An aide beside the Ring King was stunned and hurriedly said, "I... I'll go ask my King!"
After saying this, he had his true body rush to find the Ring King. But not long after, the Avatar projection of this aide also dissipated in sync!
At this moment, the Star Han King, with sharp eyes, saw a faint Sword Light flash across the aide's body as he vanished.
This was exactly the same as the information provided by the garrison Elder.
Could it be that the Ring King perished because he viewed the intelligence?
Considering this possibility, the Star Han King inwardly gasped in shock.
He no longer hesitated. He said, "Reporting to the Heavenly Emperor, I have an important, urgent situation to report!"
The Voidless Heavenly Emperor spoke. "What is it?"
The Star Han King quickly said, "A bizarre incident has occurred within my kingdom. A Near King-level Elder and an entire city's army have vanished into thin air, confirmed dead. The cause is a strange piece of intelligence. Almost everyone who viewed that intelligence has died! And that Elder reported this intelligence to the allied forces here. I fear an accident may occur, so I came immediately to report."
The Voidless Heavenly Emperor was taken aback and glanced toward the Ring King's direction.
