Rainbow-colored lights illuminated the night sky of a small city located a hundred kilometers away from Karlo Palace.

Countless streaks of multicolored light shone like flashes of lightning.

It was as if a magnificent firework show was displayed in the sky above the city during winter.

Countless citizens on the streets and alleys gazed up at the sky in astonishment. For a moment, they thought the deities had descended.

Soon, explosions reverberated in the air.

The next second, blazing fire engulfed the entire city.

“That day, lights from the sun and moon were drowned out by darkness. Blood, bones, and corpses were all over the place. Kneeling on the floor like a most devout believer, I begged for my gods' advent. When the divine glow illuminated the sky, I thought the gods were here to lead me to heaven. However, that wasn't the case. Instead, this world was turned into a living hell...”

The next day, the news anchor sorrowfully read the content of a ruined diary retrieved from the disaster area to the whole world.

Everyone in the world was overwhelmed by great horror and sadness.

The people of the mundane world remained ignorant about what happened.

On the other hand, members of the Martial Arts Security Council were in a hurry to convene a video conference.

During the meeting, Remdik's Great Emperor, Aaron, lost his composure and bellowed, “D*mn it! Which b*stard came up with this terrible idea? Make ourselves scarce? Make ourselves scarce, my foot! You managed to escape, but what about my fellow Remdikians? Where could they hide? A city in Remdik was almost completely destroyed, and hundreds of thousands of people were either killed or injured. How do you plan to repay such a sinful debt?”

With bloodshot eyes, Aaron's furious roars reverberated around everyone's ears.

Others might not be aware of what caused the catastrophe, but Aaron and his peers knew very well.

That was Chu Tianqi's punishment for them.

Hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties in exchange for their ignoble survival was too dear a price to pay.

Even the esteemed martial arts leaders who were present couldn't afford to bear such consequences.

That was a responsibility they couldn't avoid, and their names would forever be inducted into the hall of shame by the people.

That was why Aaron and the other members of the Martial Arts Security Council didn't dare to declare the truth to the public.

After all, once the truth was uncovered, and everyone became aware that the Martial Arts Security Council's evasion contributed to hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties, the scathing criticisms and negative news would inundate Aaron and the others.

Losing their reputations wouldn't be the first thing they had to worry about, as they might even be judged by the commoners.

The others kept quiet while Aaron unleashed his wrath on them.

Jared, especially, lowered his head and didn't dare to make a sound because that was his awful idea, after all.

It was his suggestion that led to the occurrence of the tragedy.

However, at that time, Jared thought Chu Tianqi was merely targeting the martial arts world and supreme grandmasters such as themselves.

Hence, Jared proposed for them to go into hiding, and once Chu Tianqi couldn't locate them, he wouldn't be able to cause them any harm.
