Immediately, Lin Xiao darted to the gap a few miles away, pressing his hand against the wall.
In an instant, almost at the blink of an eye, this section of the wall was also absorbed by the Heavenly Eye.
Even the entire city gate vanished completely, and the patrol teams on the wall scattered in all directions.
“Roar!” “Roar!” “Roar!”
Thunderous roars of fury echoed one after another. Now, truly nothing remained; the entire wall of Prosperity City had disappeared…
Amid the raging roars, Lin Xiao raced toward the Myriad Phenomena Pavilion’s trading ground at top speed.
This incident had caused too great an uproar!
It didn’t take long for Lin Xiao to return to the trading ground.
Outside, the Pavilion Master, Zi Jinchen, Zi Ling, and a large group of others stood in the void, all gazing in astonishment at the surroundings.
Taking advantage of their distracted attention, Lin Xiao cautiously slipped past the crowd and quietly returned to his room.
As the cloaking pill’s effects gradually faded, his figure slowly reappeared in his own sight, returning to normal.
“This Heavenly Eye is far too terrifying!”
Lin Xiao couldn’t help but wipe the sweat from his face.
Refining the Prosperity Wall spanning a thousand miles was unimaginable. Even the ancient Stone Clan likely lacked such power.
This Heavenly Eye was indeed the most mysterious entity on the continent.
Even now, he couldn’t grasp the slightest hint of its nature.
But one thing was certain: the Heavenly Eye could devour natural treasures, even absorbing stone essence.
And it seemed to consume as much as it could.
Last time, after absorbing the Origin Spirit Pool, it had given him some feedback.
This time, after devouring the entire Prosperity Wall, why was there no feedback at all?
The Heavenly Eye had moved from his palm back to near his dantian, sinking like a stone in the sea, undetectable by his spiritual sense.
In truth, Lin Xiao was also afraid of the Heavenly Eye giving him feedback.
After all, the stone essence of the entire Prosperity Wall was so vast that even a fraction of it could overwhelm his body.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Eye hadn’t released anything.
Lin Xiao quietly sighed in relief. Last time, after absorbing the Origin Spirit Pool, it had given feedback within moments.
Now, some time had passed since absorbing the Prosperity Wall, so it likely wouldn’t give any feedback.
“The Sheng family must be going mad,” Lin Xiao thought.
With the entire Prosperity Wall gone, their ancient legacy utterly destroyed, not even a city gate left, one could imagine the fury of the Sheng family.
Roars of anger and clamor continued to echo intermittently from all directions, creating a chaotic din.
One could also imagine Sheng Qianyu’s reaction upon returning to see the Prosperity Wall completely obliterated, his roars likely shaking the heavens.
“Where is Lin Xiao!” At that moment, an elder’s furious shout suddenly rang out.
“Hm?” Lin Xiao frowned. Had the Sheng family grown suspicious and come looking for him?
Outside the Myriad Phenomena Pavilion’s trading ground, the Pavilion Master, Zi Jinchen, Zi Ling, Ling Hu, and others stood in the void, their brows furrowing as they saw Sheng Nan approaching with a group, brimming with anger.
“Lin Xiao is in seclusion. Elder Sheng Nan, why seek him now?” the Pavilion Master responded.
“Pavilion Master Wan, don’t tell me you don’t know what just happened!” Sheng Kang asked angrily.
With a wave of his hand, the Sheng family surrounded the trading ground, blocking every possible exit.
Seeing this, Zi Ling, Zi Jinchen, and the pavilion’s guards around the trading ground grew solemn.
The Sheng family wasn’t going to be polite this time. The Pavilion Master frowned, responding coldly, “We all saw the Prosperity Wall disappear, and we’re shocked, but Lin Xiao has been in seclusion here. Elder Sheng Nan, isn’t it absurd to pin this on him?”
“This is a grave matter. The Sheng family won’t overlook any possible lead!” Sheng Nan said furiously, “If Lin Xiao is in seclusion, please have him come out, or we can’t believe he didn’t slip out and destroy the Prosperity Wall!”
“I can assure you, Lin Xiao hasn’t left the trading ground at all!” the Pavilion Master said, “However, he’s in seclusion and cannot be disturbed. If you must confirm his presence, please wait a while longer.”
“Hmph, with such a grave matter, does the Sheng family have time to waste here?” Sheng Nan radiated the powerful aura of a ninth-stage Martial Monarch, “If the Myriad Phenomena Pavilion doesn’t cooperate, the Sheng family will have to force our way in!”
The Sheng family members also exuded strong auras.
Beside Sheng Nan, Cen Kang radiated powerful spiritual fluctuations.
“Please, everyone, stay calm!” At that moment, a voice rang out, and a figure swiftly approached from the outskirts, landing beside the Pavilion Master.
It was Shi Jindou, the Vice Pavilion Master.
Clearly, he had gone to investigate the earlier commotion and hurried back upon seeing the Sheng family’s approach.
But an additional ninth-stage Martial Monarch didn’t faze Sheng Nan, who ignored Shi Jindou’s words and waved, “Move!”
The Sheng family was about to act when a voice came from within the pavilion’s entrance, “You all wish to see me?”
As the voice rang out, those about to act paused.
Who else could it be but Lin Xiao?
Facing the furious Sheng Nan and the sixth-grade Spirit Controller, Lin Xiao clutched Dongfang Kaiyuan’s battle seal and slowly stepped forward.
“I heard your words. Elder Sheng Nan, with the Prosperity Wall’s upheaval, it’s understandable that the Sheng family wishes to investigate all leads. Even though my seclusion was interrupted, I hold no grudge against the Sheng family.”
Lin Xiao spoke with an air of “understanding,” “However, I haven’t left the trading ground since returning. Surely, there’s no need to waste time here?”
Sheng Nan and the others looked grim.
“Hmph, let’s go!” Sheng Nan flung his hand angrily.
Though he wasn’t the only ninth-stage Martial Monarch elder, and others were investigating suspicious leads or notifying the clan leader, the Sheng family had much to deal with after such a catastrophe.
They didn’t have time to waste here. Since Lin Xiao hadn’t left the trading ground, there was no direct link to him.
Sheng Nan sighed inwardly, realizing he might have overthought it.
As for Lin Xiao’s connection to the masked figure who refined the Prosperity Wall, that could wait.
Cen Kang gave Lin Xiao a deep look before turning to leave with Sheng Nan and the others.
“Farewell, Elder Sheng Nan. I hope you catch the true culprit soon!” Lin Xiao said to the group.
Inwardly, he wiped away a bead of sweat, grateful he returned in time, or he might have been exposed.
He also marveled at how quickly Sheng Nan and the others reacted.
In such a short time, they had targeted him as a suspect and rushed over with a group.
Seeing them leave, Lin Xiao sighed in relief. This should clear him of suspicion regarding the Prosperity Wall’s disappearance.
“Crack!” But at that moment, he suddenly felt a shattering sound within his body.
The Heavenly Eye near his dantian reappeared in his perception. Its outer layer seemed to have a seal torn open, and a terrifying aura suddenly emanated from it.
