The next day, the news of the shocking events that happened in the forest to the east of Rivulet City had been widely spread among the people, evolving into a new legend.

Those who went to the scene yesterday knew that upon careful inspection, only about a dozen of the seven top schools' followers were found to have survived the disaster. The death toll was uncountable; even experts such as Undying School's Bu Wangsheng and Virtuous Clan's Cai Luren were heavily injured, and they unfortunately succumbed to their injuries even after being rescued.

As the people were busy with their rescue operation, a little interlude happened; the green monster lying on the edge of the crater picked itself up and staggered away under the gazes of numerous people, heading in Mt Burning Cloud's direction. There were people among the seven top schools who saw it, but they were busy saving people, and thus ignored it, letting it walk away as it pleased.

Soon, another unexpected situation happened. The remaining people from the seven top cultivation schools took their injured members and left Rivulet City one after another.

However, people discovered that these members of first-rate schools, who usually had their noses up facing the sky1 were all acting incredibly nervous when they left the city.

Back in Mosuo Auction House, Mo Dingtian watched over the child who was still unconscious. His face would switch between a happy, a worried, or even a sorrowful expression. No one could understand what was on his mind.

"Is the little brother still yet to awaken?" a bell-like voice suddenly asked.

Mo Dingtian couldn't help but smile, then said, "He's a very fortunate man; even if you wanted him to die, it'd be difficult. Don't worry, he's fine."

The visitor was Mo Dingtian's daughter, Mo Ling. Upon hearing her father's consolation, she revealed a look of worry, staring blankly at Xu Qi lying on the bed.

Mo Dingtian shook his head helplessly. He noticed that every time his daughter saw that guy on the bed, she would act extremely amiable.

Outside the city, in Godsward Villa's hidden room, Qian Yin had been taking care of the injured Di Ke'er. Although the two were about ten years apart in their age, they had grown close to each other after spending some time together. Perhaps it was because they were both girls.

Now, Qian Yin sat in Di Ke'er's room, lost in her thoughts. Her face looked solemn.

On the other hand, Di Ke'er leaned by the bedside. Seeing as this little sister looked to be in a bad shape, she tried testing the water, asking, "What's troubling you, Sister Qian Yin? You can talk to me about it if you don't take me as an outsider." 

Qian Yin was slow to react to Di Ke'er. She looked at her and sighed helplessly, saying, "Did you feel a huge blast of aura yesterday?"

Di Ke'er shook her head blankly, indicating no.

Qian Yin saw Di Ke'er's expression and suddenly remembered that the latter was heavily injured and had lost her cultivation as a result. She explained, "Yesterday, a huge explosion occurred in the forest to the east of Rivulet City. Although that aura explosion was very far away from here, I was terrified just experiencing it from here.

"Also, after the aura faded, there was news about discovering most of the seven great schools' members dead in the forest. Even prominent figures like their school elders were met with misfortune, leaving only about a dozen men alive," Qian Yin continued.
