The Night of the Bloody Invasion - Epilogue [4]

*THOOM* The enormous ark plummeted from the sky and crashed into the battlefield below with an impact that sent tremors through the land.

The ground splintered and cracked beneath its weight.

Debris and metal shrapnel were hurled into the air, spiraling chaotically before being consumed in a detonation of fire and smoke.

And from within the burning wreckage, Ji Shuang stepped out.

She raised her up to look at the skies, and sure enough, they were gone.

The crimson portals that had once painted the sky with their eerie glow had vanished, .

A sharp gust of wind cut through the battlefield.

In the next instant, two figures materialized beside her as they landed gracefully on the scorched earth.

Yan Zijin and Rui Lian.

They knew Ji Shuang is furious.

"Sect Master..." Yan Zijin spoke first, her voice was calm but laced with quiet concern.
