"WHAT WAS THAT ?!!!!!" The junior brother shouted as he tried to stabilize his footing.

The Elder brother caught onto his junior brother's shoulder and looked around.

~Boom~

~Boom~

~Clang~

"NOOO!! MY PILLS!!"

"DAMMIT! TWO DAYS OF WORK HAS GONE TO SHIT!"

Several cries of pain and frustration were heard as the work that the disciples were doing failed due tithe explosion that rocked the ground.

"All disciples stay put!" The elders quickly responded, but were confused about the explosion too.

"We need to check on the disciples—" The junior brother was about to go but was pulled by his elder brother.

"Stop!" He said firmly.

"What? Why brother?" The junior brother asked.

"We can take this chance to leave." The Elder brother said in a low voice while looking around.

"Leave? How can we do that?" the junior brother was confused.

"Fool. Like I was saying before, the Zither Wind sect has gone insane. If we keep on staying with them, we will only suffer. Don't you know the West ocean sect was eradicated?" The elder brother explained.

"But what has that to do with us? Do we just leave the sect because of fear of that?" the junior brother said. "And besides, we will become outlaws if we do that." He added.

"That is a risk we have to take… and if my information is right… the Zither wind sect won't exist long anyway." The elder brother stated.

Hearing this, the junior brother furrowed his brows.

"Where… exactly did you get information like this elder brother?" The junior brother asked, feeling suspicious.

"You don't need to know that for now. Let's just get out of here first." The elder brother replied.

"How do we go out under the gazes of the elders, though?" The junior brother inquired, seeing that the elders were already standing at the gates.

"Come…" The elder brother gestured the junior brother to follow him.

The junior brother silently followed him, and saw that they had returned to the main hall.

"Elders! What's the problem?"

"Yeah, what was that explosion?"

"We lost so many resources in that."

The disciples all complained to the elders, watching over them.

"Just go and do your assigned duties. The other elders will be taking care of the issues outside. All of you just need to work!" The elders firmly stated.

The disciples were intimidated from their words and couldn't say anything, even if they wanted to.

Swallowing down their words, they returned to their work stations.

The elder brother took this chance while they were distracted to take out a certain talisman from his storage treasure. He slapped it onto a particular spot on the wall and quickly moved from there.

"What did you do there?" The junior brother asked doubtfully, not being able to see properly.

"Just follow my lead later. And be ready!" The elder brother warned.

Then he turned and pretended to watch the disciples working and the junior brother could only observe his elder brother for now.

If one looked closely, they would see the hands of the elder brother trembling.

His gaze was locked onto a certain disciple that was working on a cauldron. The cauldrons had collapsed, and he was setting it up straight again. Once he did that, the disciples added resources to it and was just about to activate it.

But just when he touched the formation array that supplied the spirit Qi to it, something happened.

~BOOM!!!~

"ARGH!!!!!" The disciples were sent flying as the cauldron exploded.

"WHAT THE—" The junior disciples were shocked by the sudden explosion.

But that was merely the start…

~BOOM~

Another cauldron nearby exploded, sending more disciples flying and igniting the resources kept in a stack nearby.

~BOOM~

On the other corner, a refinement array collapsed and the spirit tool that was being made was affected. It destabilized and exploded as well!

The shrapnel cut the disciples and even injured the elders with how far it spread.

~BOOM~ BOOM~ BOOM~

One after the other, more and more explosions happened as the formation arrays started to break down.

"NOW!" the elder brother said and ran towards the exit, which was now open with the elders being knocked away as well.

The junior elder frantically ran after his elder brother and felt scared. He knew that it was his elder brother that had caused all this.

'Just to escape, he destroyed the entire formation array of the hall… the punishment for this will be death!' The junior brother was terrified.

In the dust and smoke of explosions that were littered with chaotic spirit Qi fluctuations, the two brothers managed to escape the hall. But upon leaving it they saw that the sect wasn't all good.

~KABOOM~

~BOOM~

Several explosions were happening all over the sect and long stacks of smoke could be seen in the distance.

The hall they were working in was isolated for the most part, thus they had not heard all this happening. Which was the reason why they were confused upon being rocked by an explosions.

"What in the name of heavens is happening?" The junior brother was left speechless.

But the elder brother's reaction was different.

"Just like senior said… his words were correct." The elder brother muttered and took out a small flat stone from his ring.

He held it for a few seconds before getting some information.

"Come! We can't stay here long!" The elder brother grabbed his junior and flew to a particular location.

The junior brother could only be pulled along and was brought to a small servant residence.

The entered the residence and saw several people waiting there. But the most eye catching among them was a man that seemed to have a sharp face. His body was also emitting strong spirit Qi waves.

"D-Dao Treading realm?!" the junior brother was stunned. 'Why is someone like that here?'

Much to his surprise, though, he saw his brother stepping forward.

"Thank you for your information Senior Yulong!" The elder brother said with gratitude.

"Mm… Come in, we'll leave in a short while." The man named Senior Yulong replied.
