The sudden turn of events made Cen Qiyun gasp. She quickly turned her head and, without thinking, urged:

"Xiao Wu, take everyone and get out of here!"

Immediately afterwards, a small red cloud with two short wings suddenly appeared beneath her feet, lifting her up as she charged toward the steel city.

However, her actions were stopped by Li Hao, whose two pure white eyes looked at Cen Qiyun, imprisoning her in place.

"Do not act rashly!"

Li Hao, holding his sunglasses in his right hand, spoke with a serious yet calm expression:

“If a god really comes, rushing in will only be a futile death... Besides, you are not alone now.”

Shang Shuyan held the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Li Hao turned his head to look at Wu Xuan, only to see that she also looked panicked.

This made his heart sink.

Could it be that the Steel City holds no secrets? That shouldn't be the case; there are inexplicably many high-ranking apostles gathered here…

Furthermore, where have the arbitrators been during this period?

He forced down his panic and, unwilling to give up, asked:

"Ms. Wu, where are the arbitration teams?"

Wu Xuan reached out and pulled off the black ribbon covering her eyes, looking towards the Steel City, and replied solemnly:

"I don't know. I only know that Meng Yi and the others were acting mysteriously before... They... didn't tell me the specifics."

Feeling the slight tremors beneath her feet caused by the rapid movement of the holy city, she pursed her lips tightly:

"You guys run first, I'll go see what's going on... Don't worry, I'll keep a safe distance..."

As if encouraging herself, she grinned and said, "I have relatively rich experience in confronting the gods."

This doesn't refer to Meng Yi, but rather to "Sea God" and "All-Knowing Eye".

She lightly touched the ground with her feet and flew diagonally towards the steel city.

Li Hao did not stop Wu Xuan's actions in the same way he stopped Cen Qiyun.

This is out of respect for the "veteran first-tier divine benefactor," whose experience, knowledge, and methods are rich enough to know what should and should not be done.

Moreover, what Wu Xuan said was probably true.

In mid-air, Wu Xuan turned her head slightly...

As can be seen, due to the sudden acceleration of the Holy City, the residents were caught off guard and stumbled about, with many people tumbling together like gourds rolling on the ground.

Xiao Wu's scattered "eyes" also converged and turned to look at her.

Wu Xuan curled up the corners of her lips. "Hmph... Now you know to look at me."

At the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

If it were in the past, when I had no feelings, I probably would have run away if something like this happened...

No, I probably would have risked checking back then, but the reasons for doing so would certainly have been different from now.

One is "curiosity," and the other is "responsibility."

... Saying "responsibility" doesn't seem quite right either, as I don't really have any feelings for most of the people in the steel city.

Ugh, why am I even thinking about this?

Her gaze fell upon the steel city, and she began a cautious investigation.

That feeling just now was probably a combination of [order] and [desire]...

In the steel city, many flying machines were crashing around like headless flies, mixed with the panicked figures of many apostles.

Clearly, the commotion just now has thrown the city into considerable chaos.

Soon, Wu Xuan began to wonder: Why is it so quiet?

If a god were to descend upon this place, the Steel City would have been destroyed long ago.

Where is it? Where is the source?

The vanished chains of order left their mark in the air, intertwining...

Wu Xuan's eyes widened.

Suddenly, a cold snort resounded throughout the heavens and earth!

Wu Xuan paused, that voice... had a strange sense of familiarity.

A violent explosion suddenly rang out from a low-rise building in the southwest corner of the steel city. Immediately afterwards, dense, silver-white chains of order "grew" out of every part of the city.
