Chapter 406: Misfortunes Never Come Singly

Inside the dungeon, a series of painful screams echoed incessantly, mixed with intermittent cursing.

"Let me go!"

"You Sang people will not die well! Beasts! You are all beasts!"

"Get away!"

The dwarf man pressed against the door, listening with intoxicated delight.

At first, the voice inside was full of vigor, but later, it gradually lowered, as if it had run out of strength.

By the end, only low sobs could be heard, and even the cursing had ceased.

"Lord Tianxin is truly fierce! To discipline that Great Xia woman like this—long live our Great Sang Empire!"

The dwarf man's heart surged with excitement, wishing he could rush in and take his place.

Unfortunately, he knew very well that he lacked such substantial capital; someone like him could only listen and guess at the scene from the doorway.

Click.

The dungeon door opened once again.

Tianxin walked out with an indifferent expression and headed straight outside.

"Respectfully send off Lord Tianxin!"

The dwarf man bowed, and once Tianxin had walked far away, he became instantly excited and rushed directly into the dungeon.

Just as he stepped inside, a sorrowful and beautiful figure caught his eye, her long black hair covering her face.

The dwarf man walked over, unable to contain his impatience.

"Hehe, it's my turn, little beauty! Are the men of our Great Sang Empire especially strong? Did it make you feel like you were in heaven? Hmm? Speak!"

She trembled and curled backward, seemingly frightened out of her wits.

"Running is useless! Come here!"

The dwarf man yanked her over, and as her long hair flew, it revealed the smiling face of Ye Lin underneath.

"Good evening, baby~"

The dwarf man was terrified; how had his little beauty turned into a man?

Realizing something was wrong, the dwarf man tried to call for help, but Ye Lin had already snapped his neck.

"It's okay, it's okay, just take a nap and you'll be fine."

Ye Lin carefully placed the dwarf man's corpse on the ground.

Calculating the time, Yu Lian should have successfully escaped by now, right?

He had just given the Corpse-Nether Stealth Cloak to Yu Lian, letting her disguise herself as Tianxin to escape, while he stayed here to buy her time.

"Time is just about up."

"Forbidden Spell: Heavenly Star Explosive Annihilation!"

Ye Lin revealed a "nuclear" friendly smile, and his body began to swell bit by bit.

The situation was exactly as Ye Lin had anticipated; Yu Lian, disguised as Tianxin, traveled unimpeded and arrived at the main gate of the Fusang Pavilion.

After all, Tianxin was the person originally responsible for the security at the entrance of the Fusang Pavilion.

Having reached this position, Yu Lian succeeded in escaping the Fusang Pavilion with almost no effort at all.

Seeing Yu Lian, Ou Liechen was stunned.

"Ye Lin, did he actually succeed? How did he do it?"

Ou Liechen racked his brain but couldn't understand it; with so many Third Realm powerhouses inside the Fusang Pavilion, how could he have actually rescued Yu Lian?

Yu Lian pursed her lips and recounted the method Ye Lin had used.

Ou Liechen's expression changed drastically: "Doesn't that mean he traded himself to get you out?"

"Rest assured, don't worry about him," Zhuge Yi suddenly spoke up from the side. "Based on my understanding of him, that Ye Lin inside the Fusang Pavilion should be a clone."

"A clone? Good lad, even we were fooled by him!"

Ou Liechen finally let out a long sigh of relief, then glanced at Yu Lian.

"Strange, why is your face so red?"

"It's too hot."

Yu Lian's expression remained cold, but she could clearly feel that her cheeks were burning hot at this moment.

Although she hadn't actually done anything with Ye Lin, he had certainly used many methods in the dungeon earlier to make her performance more convincing.

Boom!

Just then, accompanied by a deafening roar, a massive mushroom cloud rolled upward into the sky.

Almost every Sang person in Dongjing City saw that mushroom cloud shooting straight into the clouds.

Firelight and dust intertwined incessantly, and the surrounding air became distorted due to the intense heat.

More than half of the Fusang Pavilion collapsed in the explosion, and fragments of the building were sent dozens of kilometers away.

This sudden scene in the dead of night was like the end of the world.

At this moment, all Sang people began to recall the "steaming and melting" years of the past.

Back then, the streets were full of "well-done" people; even when the temperature reached five or six thousand degrees, no one complained of the heat, and no one clamored to turn on the air conditioning.

"Alright, he self-destructed, Iron Clone, let's go quickly; if we don't run now, we'll be taking the blame for him."

Seeing the mushroom cloud, the last shred of doubt in Zhuge Yi's heart vanished.

Watching the Fusang Pavilion being swallowed by the raging fire, Ou Liechen couldn't help but swallow hard.

Lord Dongfang Su, what kind of monster have you given me to command...

Under the cover of Ou Liechen's barrier, the three of them successfully withdrew.

Figure after figure rushed out from the half-collapsed Fusang Pavilion.

No one could have imagined that an 82nd-level Forbidden Spellcaster would run into the dungeon of the Fusang Pavilion to self-destruct.

Therefore, they had absolutely no defense against this explosion.

Inside the Fusang Pavilion, almost every job-changer below the Third Realm died in the explosion that had just occurred.

Those in the Starry Sky Realm fared no better, with almost everyone sustaining injuries; only those in the Bright Moon Realm were able to escape unscathed.

Granny Shenshan's sagging old face was incredibly gloomy at this moment.

The Fusang Pavilion could be considered the most important place in the Sang country.

Such a place had actually been blown up by someone!

Now, even if they wanted to suppress the news, it would be impossible.

First, nine cities were slaughtered, drawing almost all of the Sang country's Blazing Sun Realm powerhouses out to garrison major cities, and then someone blew up the Fusang Pavilion.

Granny Shenshan absolutely did not believe that these events were unrelated.

But she couldn't understand how Great Xia had managed to do it.

To slaughter nine cities silently without deploying any Third Realm powerhouses, and then to blow up the Fusang Pavilion—this was simply a fantasy.

"Investigate! Get to the bottom of this; there must be an explanation for today's events!" Granny Shenshan shouted sternly.

This night was destined to be a difficult one for all Sang people.

When the four Blazing Sun Realm powerhouses stationed outside learned of this, they were also filled with shock.

They had gone out to protect their home and country, only to have their home stolen?

This was like being in the middle lane, laning perfectly against your opponent, when suddenly your home crystal explodes—could you handle that?

The next morning, the entire Sang country was in an uproar.

Because the Fusang Pavilion had been blown up, the news that nine cities had been slaughtered could no longer be suppressed.

The entire Sang country fell into a panic, with people demanding that the Sang leadership come out and provide a reasonable explanation.

As Sang leaders who possessed the "bowing" spirit, they were the first to come out and bow in apology.

Bows could be made, apologies could be offered, and heads could be knocked, but there was naturally no substantive response at all.

This naturally could not appease the panic and anger of the Sang people; they surrounded the Fusang Pavilion, demanding an explanation.

They surrounded it from dawn until dark, and the crowd still refused to disperse.

Misfortunes never come singly.

Just as night fell, before the culprit who blew up the Fusang Pavilion had been caught in Dongjing City, a figure carrying a large flag appeared once again beneath the walls of a small border town.

"Friends of the Sang country, have you eaten your fill? Get up and watch the fireworks show."

"Forbidden Spell: World-Extinguishing Mad Thunder!"
