The sudden news caused the breathing of several people to halt, and their intention to act was immediately abandoned.
The Wind of Annihilation?! Had they heard correctly?!
By the stage Lin Ran and the others had reached, they naturally understood what the Wind of Annihilation truly signified…
They were also acutely aware of the devastating effects the Wind of Annihilation could bring them.
But the problem was, this was not the Netherworld, so how could a special product of the Netherworld, the Wind of Annihilation, appear here?
"Could it be that someone has opened a second passage into the Netherworld, and it's right here on Kyushu Island?"
Arthur couldn't help but take a deep breath, his face growing even more grim.
After all, those supremely yin and dark beings from the Netherworld were certainly incompatible with them, the Holy Light Faction.
Whenever the two sides met, it would inevitably lead to immediate conflict without a word of agreement…
But now they clearly had more pressing enemies to deal with, and the existence of Netherworld beings became exceptionally disgusting and annoying.
Caesar's expression was also exceptionally solemn:
"But even if a second passage to the Netherworld were opened on Kyushu Island, the Wind of Annihilation couldn't possibly cross the dimensional seal and directly reach our mortal realm!"
"Unless someone intentionally guided and conducted large-scale migration and compression, it would be possible for the Wind of Annihilation from the Netherworld to have such an effect…"
"Ai's broadcast level is instantly fatal!"
"A threat of this magnitude, even in the Netherworld itself, wouldn't be so exaggerated!"
Lin Ran clicked his tongue and remained silent.
However, in his own heart, he couldn't help but grumble.
Wasn't this small Kyushu Island attracting a bit too many forces inexplicably crowding in!
What unspeakable secret did this place hide that could cause these people to go to such great lengths?
It couldn't be that they were all truly fighting and struggling here just for their superficial interests, could it?
Lin Ran was truly speechless by them.
However, judging from the serious attitude of all of them, the target he needed to investigate and operate on Kyushu Island seemed to have increased by one…
Just as Lin Ran thought this, Arthur on the other side spoke first:
"Regardless, the Wind of Annihilation is something we absolutely cannot ignore…"
"All personnel, retreat with me!"
"If the entire imperial city is invaded by the Wind of Annihilation, we will temporarily abandon this place!"
"Since the Wind of Annihilation won't leave any survivors, its effect might even be better than ours!"
Arthur, who had already implicitly accepted that all his secrets had been spied upon by Lin Ran, was now openly giving orders to Lin Ran.
And at this moment, Lin Ran had a brand new idea.
Room, Domain, Activate!
Treasury of the King, Scatter!
As the glowing blue screen fully expanded and the dazzling golden treasures descended from the sky, this entire area was instantly completely controlled by Lin Ran.
And Lin Ran wasn't just using these things to seal off the area…
The densely laid out treasures, combined with his Eternal Kaleidoscope, formed a powerful illusion array through special combinations.
This resulted in the ability to, at the very least, trap Arthur's group here for a short while, which was definitely not a problem.
Even though their small troop was filled with many powerful cultivators at the tenth tier, Lin Ran dared to confidently say that their attainment in illusion arrays was equally incomparable to his own.
Therefore, if they wanted to break free, they would have to resort to brute force.
But the spatial power of Room and the sturdiness of the Treasury of the King's treasures were precisely what countered this brute force, providing the illusion array's basic infrastructure with considerable resilience and resistance…
This meant that as long as the illusion array encompassed these people, they would have no choice but to obediently stay within the illusion array for a period of time.
Under normal circumstances, staying for a while would be acceptable. At most, they would be disgusted by Lin Ran's mischievousness.
But in this critical period when the Wind of Annihilation was imminent, every second of delay would bring about enormous consequences and repercussions.
After all, if their breakthrough time did not coincide with the arrival of the Wind of Annihilation, and they were swallowed by it, escaping would become an extremely difficult matter…
Not to mention that the Wind of Annihilation had been warned by Ai as an existence of infinite threat, and no one dared to risk their lives.
"What are you doing?!"
Arthur was stunned, his eyes widening as if he were about to devour Lin Ran.
Lin Ran couldn't help but laugh heartily:
"There's still plenty of time, we haven't even finished our conversation, and it's not easy to meet you, Brother Arthur, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
"In my opinion, why don't we savor this fine time and wine here, and discuss important matters together, wouldn't that be delightful!"
Arthur felt like he was about to faint from anger:
"Are you crazy?! Didn't you see my carriage Ai's broadcast?!"
"The Wind of Annihilation is about to sweep through the entire Kyushu Imperial City! If we don't leave quickly, we'll be swallowed by it!"
"If you want to die here, I won't stop you!"
"But I haven't lived enough yet, please let go quickly and let me take my people out of here!"
After merely sensing the complexity and intensity of Lin Ran's illusion array, Arthur realized that this thing was definitely not something they could break through in a short time.
Then, Lin Ran's intention in summoning this thing was self-evident.
He most likely intended to trap his entire group here and use the Wind of Annihilation to eliminate them all!
Lin Ran laughed heartily:
"Don't get agitated, don't get agitated…"
"A mere Wind of Annihilation, it's really not that serious."
"For a distinguished figure like Brother Arthur, this kind of thing is just a trifle!"
"Even being able to harm a single hair on your head would be an exaggeration, you don't need to worry at all."
"As for your subordinates… wouldn't it be better to let them do as they please, why worry for them?"
Seeing Lin Ran's continued jovial demeanor, Arthur finally roared in unbearable humiliation:
"Guards! Take him down!"
As he spoke, Arthur also took a fierce step forward, and brilliant silver light emanated from his neck.
This silver light not only cut the entire carriage in half but also began to transform into flowing light, like liquid, and started to spread towards other parts of his body.
