I told you to change your skills, and you changed them into a nuclear explosion immortal?

Outside the village.

Many professionals have already arrived here and are now staring blankly at each other, waiting.

They initially thought that the earth-shaking noise must mean that a world boss had spawned.

Before they even got to the location, the earthquake stopped. It lasted only about a minute.

Moreover, when they arrived, the village was even more dilapidated, but the expected BOSS did not appear; instead, everything was unusually calm.

"What's going on? Where's the boss? Is he gone?"

"After making such a commotion, all you got was a big one?"

"Could it be that the will of the world is playing a trick on us?"

"Wait? It looks like someone's coming!"

Sure enough, many small black dots appeared in the sky not far away.

The black dot appeared very quickly, within seconds, in the distance.

"That is..."

Many people subconsciously squinted to take a look, but when they saw the approaching mounts and the standard armor on those people, they were stunned.

"Holy crap?! It's the capital's city defense force!"

"Why are they here? Could it be because of the earthquake?"

"Really? This place is so far from the capital, even if there's an earthquake, it shouldn't reach there!"

Everyone was a little confused, looking at the uniform silver armor and the silver badge representing the capital city, they felt a sense of absurdity.

After all, the Imperial City Guard only protects the capital and almost never leaves the city.

"Wait a minute???"

"That is..."

As the city guards flew closer, some sharp-eyed people immediately recognized the middle-aged man at the head of the group.

"It's Commander Zhao Kong of the City Guard!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their expressions changed.

People of Zhao Kong's caliber rarely see anyone, and they never expected that he would lead a team here today.

Zhao Jia, with a stern face, surveyed the even more dilapidated village road.

"What happened here?"

Seeing that everyone was startled, Zhao Kong casually pointed to a professional and said.

"you say!"

He was referring to a hooded thief.

"Sir, we don't know what happened either. We were just about to start our dungeon run when suddenly the earthquake struck."

"We thought a world boss had spawned, but when we got here, this is what happened."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Kong's brows furrowed even more deeply.

"What about the boss?"

"No, there's no BOSS, nothing at all."

No?

Zhao Kong frowned, feeling extremely agitated.

He was one of the people in charge of guarding the capital. The sudden earthquake in the capital, though not strong, still caused a lot of commotion. If something went wrong, he would be the first to be held accountable.

You have to understand, the ten major families and all the top powers are in the capital. He can't handle that kind of influence.

But it seems that nothing has happened yet, which is very strange.

However, just as he was pondering this, the dilapidated village suddenly emitted a screeching sound.

Everyone instinctively looked over and saw the village, without warning, shatter into pieces like a mirror.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw; at that moment, the entire scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Such a bizarre scene even made Zhao Kong's expression change, and his pupils contract sharply.

"What...what on earth happened here?"

"What's wrong with this village?"

The professionals were terrified and instinctively took a few steps back.

Zhao Kong blurted out a muttered comment.

"No way... there's a rift here opened by the demons, are they about to invade?"

His voice wasn't loud, but everyone present heard it.

Without warning, everyone's faces turned pale.

"Evil, a demon invasion???"

"Is this...right?"

"Really? This is the capital's territory. How dare the demons invade here???"

"Wait? Someone else is here? That's...!"

Just as everyone was feeling scared, someone suddenly shouted something. Everyone instinctively looked over and discovered that it was a group of people.

These people included men and women, young and old, and many professionals who frequented the capital city recognized several of them at a glance.

"That? That's Zhao Qing from the Zhao family and her second uncle, Zhao Qi!"

"That's Qi Sheng from the Qi family!"

"And Li Zhenghao from the Li family, and Li Yan, the elder of the Li family!"

Seeing familiar faces flying in from afar on their mounts, not only were the professionals stunned, but even Zhao Kong was dumbfounded.

If Lu Yun were here, he would definitely see a familiar figure: Wen Liangyu!

"Second Brother? What brings you here?"

Zhao Qi glanced at the village road, now shattered into pieces, with a serious expression.

"Such a big thing happened, and it's even near the capital. How can I not feel at ease? Hmm..."

As he was speaking, he let out a soft "hmm," and with some curiosity, jumped off his mount, squatted down, and picked up some fragments.

"This is... a spatial skill?"

Zhao Qi's expression changed, and he stood up abruptly. Seeing this, the others also rushed over with changed expressions.

really!

Zhao Qing and the others were not strong enough to figure it out, but there were quite a few strong people here who could tell at a glance.

"Spatial skill... This is actually a spatial skill?"

In the entire capital city, those with spatial skills are few and far between, and many people subconsciously thought of one person: Qi Huanyu!

But this idea was dismissed in an instant; Dean Qi had already left after the competition, and it was impossible for him to come here.

Zhao Qi thought for a moment, then turned to look at Zhao Qing, who was deep in thought.

"Do you have any thoughts on this?"

Zhao Qing and the others had all experienced demonic invasions, and he just wanted to ask Zhao Qing if this situation seemed familiar.

But to his surprise, Zhao Qing hesitated for a moment and then looked at Qi Shengdao with some hesitation.

"Second Uncle, this shouldn't be a demonic invasion. Although I've never seen anything like this before, I have a guess."

Zhao Qing's words immediately resonated with Qi Sheng, Li Zhenghao, and others.

Zhao Qi glanced at it and frowned.

"You rushed to call me back after you got back; is that related to this?"

He was one of the heads of the Zhao family, and he had just been away on business. When Zhao Qing suddenly sent someone to look for him, he realized that something was wrong.

Unexpectedly, not only him, but also the heads of nine of the other ten major families were summoned back, which made him feel even more uneasy.

However, just as they arrived home, before they could even exchange a word, a minor earthquake struck the capital, which is why they rushed over without having a chance to talk.

Zhao Qing's words are clearly related to what she wants to say.

Zhao Qing nodded.

"The Demon Rift isn't like that. We've seen rifts before, and we've seen closed rifts. Besides, this is the Imperial Capital, and the entire Central Region is protected by arrays. No matter how strong the demon race is, they couldn't possibly open this rift. So this can only be man-made."

That's the truth. If this place were to be invaded by the demon race, then the human race could be declared extinct.

However, Zhao Qing hesitated before speaking.

"I'm not sure if this is the same thing I wanted to tell you, but based on the current situation..."

"If we're talking about who else in the entire capital, besides Dean Qi, could have caused this outcome, then there's only one person who could be responsible."
