Outside Shuanghe City, at noon.
After the earth-shaking war drums and resounding horns echoed across the land, dozens of boulders trailing thick smoke whistled through the sky, smashing down upon the once-prosperous city.
"BOOM"
The earth trembled.
Some of the boulders crashed into the river, churning up sludge. Others struck the city walls, sending sparks flying in all directions, but the walls themselves remained unshaken. Still others rolled through the city, toppling one building after another.
Several Foundation Establishment Stage Fire Spirit Cultivators flew back and forth over the city. Using the Fire Veins within their bodies, they drew in the spreading infernos, extinguishing the flames and saving the city from being engulfed by fire.
「Half an hour later.」
