Upon hearing this, Luo Shenbo hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
But Shen Qian remained calm: "It's alright, please speak frankly, Lord Luoshen."
After hesitating for a moment, Luo Shenbo nodded and sat down next to Shen Qian. Then, with a wave of her hand, a phantom curtain appeared in mid-air.
Inside the curtain, there was a scene of distinct light and darkness. A twisted cocoon of light tightly bound a patch of darkness. The cocoon was oval in shape, and rumbling sounds emanated from the darkness from time to time. Each time a sound was heard, the light curtain would vibrate slightly or severely.
"This is... the Dragon-Trapping Array of the Subterranean City?"
Shen Qian quickly realized what was going on.
“That’s right,” Luo Shenbo explained. “At the last moment, although the Witch Emperor launched a powerful attack, the Dragon-Trapping Formation still managed to close up by a hair’s breadth.”

"The thousands of powerful members of the Witch Clan who entered the underground city are all trapped inside."
"But as you saw, they haven't given up and are still attacking the formation. Originally, the Dragon-Trapping Formation was left behind by the Nine Kings. Even if a Martial King was trapped inside, it would be impossible for them to escape... But the Witch Emperor's last attack still caused extremely serious damage to the formation. I'm afraid that under the continuous attacks of several Martial Kings, the Dragon-Trapping Formation will eventually collapse."
Luo Shenbo expressed his concerns, saying, "This is also our consensus."
The "we" mentioned by Luo Shenbo should refer to the other kings and nobles.
This result was not too unexpected for Shen Qian.
It is extremely unrealistic to expect a formation left over from hundreds of years ago to trap all the top experts of the Wu Clan.
If the person in charge of the formation were still alive, there might actually be a great chance. Unfortunately, the Ninth King has already perished, and the only remaining King Zhouyi is nowhere to be found. In the Dragon-Trapping Formation, there are not only the Martial King and many top-level kings and marquises, but most importantly, the Witch Emperor is also among them.
Even if it was just a projection of the Witch Emperor's consciousness, the status of a Great Emperor was still there. The formation was ultimately an inanimate object. As long as the Witch Clan could accurately find all the formation's cores, breaking through the formation was only a matter of time.
Fortunately, Wu Wei and his team's strategic objective was not to starve the Wu Clan to death, but simply to buy time for the human race to withdraw at their leisure.
"...Is no one coming out?"
After a brief silence, he asked softly.
His voice was so soft that for a moment Luo Shenbo thought he was hallucinating.
But Luo Shenbo quickly realized what Shen Qian was asking. The Wu tribe was obviously not considered "human," so he was naturally asking about the eight kings and nobles, including Wu Wei, who had turned back to save him.
Luo Shenbo opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Shen Qian raised his hand, indicating that Luo Shenbo did not need to answer anymore; no answer was also a kind of answer.
In fact, even if Wu Wei and the others were able to survive in the underground city surrounded by powerful Wu clan members, having voluntarily accepted the corruption of the "Heavenly Dao," they would never be the same as before.
Perhaps knowing the truth would only make life more painful...
"What about the surface?" Shen Qian asked again.
Speaking of this, Luo Shenbo sighed softly, waved his hand again, and the scene in the light screen changed once more.
On the shore where the vast forbidden land meets the raging, chaotic sea, a sprawling city comes into view.
This once magnificent city has now become a raging wasteland. Above the city, several powerful members of the Witch Clan, dressed in red robes, stand gracefully, coldly looking down at the scene below.
What truly made Shen Qiantong Kong shrink back was the scene in the city. Among those ruins, there were not only powerful witch warriors wrapped in robes of various colors, but also all sorts of strange and wonderful alien races.
Before sinking, he saw other races he had encountered before, all from different "gates": the burly Power Clan, the handsome and aloof Celestial Clan with wings on their backs, the Tortoise-Back Clan with golden armor on their backs, and the Shadow Clan, which was almost invisible and resembled a ghost...
However, these powerful alien races with completely different bloodlines were now mixed together in an orderly manner, showing no signs of internal strife.
"This is..." Shen Qian asked, puzzled.
When did all the races become so united?
The main reason why the human race was able to keep many other races out of the "gate" was that although the combined strength of all races was not inferior to that of the human race, they often fought independently and were far less united than the human race.
Furthermore, the myriad races themselves have all sorts of grudges and entanglements, most of which originated from ancient groups. The conflicts accumulated between them, if not blood feuds, are certainly irreconcilable.
However, now they have come together without any reservations.
This is absolutely the situation that humanity least wants to see.
"It's the Witch Clan... I don't know what methods the Witch Emperor used, but he managed to unite all the alien races together and form a mighty coalition."
Luo Shenbo said, "In just a few days, powerful figures from all races have occupied most of the forbidden area, and there are no longer any intact cities along the coast of China."
Luo Shenbo waved his hand again, and a map of China appeared on the light screen.
Before sinking, one could clearly see that most of the area southeast of the Yangtze River on the map had turned into a glaring red, while the central area extending westward into the inland region was a light red.
