"Walk!"

Qiao Suinian summoned the Destruction Knight, stole two black-armored warhorses, and left immediately.

There would be no benefit for him in fighting the Abyss Spirits, and he wouldn't be foolish enough to risk his life against them.

Two black-armored warhorses galloped away at breakneck speed, quickly disappearing from the city center.

Soon they joined Chen Gu and the others who were recovering from their injuries.

"Young Master, what's going on? Why is it shaking so violently?"

Although Chen Gu and his men were still seriously injured, they managed to escape from the house, since no one wanted to be buried alive.

"There's no time to explain, let's go!" Qin Fufeng also vaguely realized something, and the group rushed out of Jinling City without hesitation.

Qiao Suinian closed his eyes, letting the black-armored warhorse gallop away. He left a small skeleton in the city center so that it could see what was happening there.

At first, everyone thought it was just an ordinary earthquake.

But when countless houses began to tremble and some poorly constructed houses began to collapse one after another, everyone realized that something was wrong and began to cry out and scramble to escape for their lives.

Even the ground began to slowly crack from the intense tremors, with incessant wails and screams, as if Jinling City had instantly fallen into purgatory.

"It's not an earthquake, someone's playing tricks! There's a terrifying force stirring up underground!" Lu Hai realized something was wrong, shouted, and gathered Tai Chi energy in his hands, then slammed it down onto the ground below.

The ground around Lu Hai fell silent for a moment, and then a figure made of clods of earth slowly appeared not far away.

"Who are you? Why are you committing such an act of annihilation?" Lu Hai demanded sharply.

"I am an elder of the Abyss Spirit Clan, ranked seventh. You can call me Mu Wang!" the native said coldly, his voice devoid of any warmth.

"The Abyss Spirits?" Lu Hai was stunned for a moment before realizing how terrifying the Abyss Spirits were. "Don't the Abyss Spirits not feed on humans? What do you want?"

"Heh... The sins you humans committed should naturally be borne by you humans. Since you dared to kill even one member of my Abyss Spirit Clan, we dare to slaughter an entire city of yours!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen Abyss Spirits appeared, including Mu Ling. Each of them was a powerful being who had cultivated a spirit body within the Abyss Spirit Clan. With their combined efforts, the entire city of Jinling began to tremble wildly once again.

Lu Hai's expression changed drastically.

"Is there some misunderstanding? We have never laid a hand on anyone from the Abyss Spirit Clan!"

"I don't care about any misunderstandings, I only care about the results. If one member of the Abyss Spirit Clan dies, the people of your city will be buried with him!" Mu Wang ignored Lu Hai's explanation. The tremors in Jinling City became even more violent, and countless people fell into the crevice and died tragically.

Lu Hai's face was grim and uncertain. Listening to the constant wails and screams around him, he finally gritted his teeth.

"All members of the Taiji Sect, heed my command: Slay all Abyss Spirits!"

Now that things have come to this, no matter what the truth is, he has no choice but to kill all the Abyss Spirits in front of him.

Otherwise, if they continue to destroy things like this, the entire city of Jinling will be reduced to ruins.

"You guys?" Mu Wang glanced at them disdainfully, not taking them seriously at all.

As the seventh elder of the Abyss Spirit Clan, he had enough reason to be arrogant; humans were no different from ants in his eyes.

Mu Wang simply raised his hand and pressed down, and a huge crack appeared in the ground in front of him. Several Tai Chi masters who rushed to the front were unable to dodge in time and fell directly into it.

However, they were also awakened combat professionals, so they were not so easily killed. Just as they were about to crawl out of the crack in the ground, Mu Wang suddenly raised his hand, and the huge crack in the ground suddenly closed, directly squeezing them into a pile of mangled flesh, with blood gushing out from the crack.

This was a completely unequal battle. Mu Wang and his group all transformed into earth elemental beings, merging with the ground of Jinling City. Even when members of the Taiji Sect occasionally rushed in front of him, their attacks could not cause any effective damage to Mu Wang.

On the contrary, every time Mu Wang made a move, a disciple of the Tai Chi Sect would die at his hands.

At this moment, Lu Hai and another elder rushed to Mu Wang's side. They cooperated well and kept bombarding Mu Wang with their attacks.

Mu Wang's body, constructed from sand, was constantly being blasted apart, but it would quickly heal itself in the next second, as if he were immortal.

"It's useless. You mere humans simply don't understand how terrifying spirits are!" Mu Wang sneered disdainfully.

If he hadn't devoted most of his resources to maintaining order in the earthquake-stricken city of Jinling, Lu Hai and his companion wouldn't have even had a chance to get close to him.

But the two of them kept bothering him like flies, which annoyed him.

"Then I'll kill you all first!"

Mu Wang pulled his other hand out from the ground, and the tremors in Jinling City suddenly subsided a lot. Lu Hai and the other man felt much more pressure. The ground beneath their feet seemed to come alive, constantly cracking open huge fissures, like a monster with its mouth wide open, about to devour them.

Lu Hai and another elder had already raised their vigilance to the highest level, but they still fell into a trap. The Tai Chi Sect elder accidentally stepped into a crevice in the ground.

His expression changed drastically, and he tried to get away, but how could an experienced guy like Mu Wang give him the chance? He just grinned and the crack in the ground closed instantly, and the Tai Chi Sect elder lost a leg in an instant.

"ah!"
