The Response of Origin Mall’s Customers

Ji Wuhui knew very well—an attack of this scale was truly devastating.

If he had to face it head-on, he would likely suffer serious injuries.

But the key point was…

The target of the attack was the boss.

And as for Luo Chuan?

An attack like this…

He could probably wave it away with a flick of his hand.

"Your Majesty, should we activate the defensive formation?" Elder Bai beside him asked, his expression calm.

Ji Wuhui shook his head. "No need. With the boss's strength, not even a ripple will touch Nine Stars City."

Elder Bai nodded in agreement.

Like many others, he held an almost blind reverence for Luo Chuan.

"After today… Silver Moon Palace may cease to exist on the Azure Continent."

Ji Wuhui gazed at the silver moon hanging in the sky, whispering to himself.

Across Nine Stars City—the Southern Protector Manor, the Left Prime Minister's Residence, Drunken Moon Pavilion, Thousand Spirit Pavilion…

Customers of Origin Mall had also noticed the celestial anomaly.

And in an instant, they all thought of the same person.

"This commotion… It's the boss again, isn't it?" Bu Lige muttered, his lips twitching.

Bu Shiyi nodded. "It has to be. Looks like Silver Moon Palace's people have finally arrived."

"Should we go check it out?" Bu Lige's eyes gleamed with excitement.

Bu Shiyi chuckled. "Sure, but by the time we get there… the boss will probably have already ended it."

All across the city, Origin Mall's customers made their decision.

They rushed toward the store…

Xia Yuan stared at the silver moon above them, his expression solemn.

"What terrifying presence…"

Ying Wuji stood on guard, his stance tense.

By now, he, Xia Yuan, and all the students had retreated into the store.

"Boss… will he be alright?" Gu Yunxi asked, worry flickering in her eyes as she looked at Luo Chuan standing outside.

"Don't worry." Yao Ziyan smiled faintly. "An attack like this? It couldn't even scratch him."

Her voice held absolute confidence.

Hearing Yao Ziyan's words, Gu Yunxi and the others snapped back to reality.

That's right.

The boss's strength was unfathomable.

Five Pathseekers?

They weren't even worth worrying about.

Excitement replaced their concern.

Watching Pathseekers clash in battle?

This was an incredibly rare opportunity.

A chance to observe and learn.

Of course…

They could also just watch the boss's cooking tutorials.

Chu Yangping's expression twisted with rage as he glared at Luo Chuan.

"Hah! You should feel honored to die at the hands of the five of us!"

As his words fell—

The silver moon above flared brilliantly.

In an instant, a colossal beam of light erupted from the sky, descending toward Nine Stars City.

As it fell, its diameter rapidly shrank.

By the time it neared Origin Mall, it had condensed to just a few tens of centimeters wide.

Its color shifted—

From dazzling white to completely transparent.

From a distance, it looked like a sword of pure energy, stretching from heaven to earth.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Sword energy surged violently.

Even the surrounding bluestone pavement was carved with deep, bottomless scars.

Luo Chuan raised his head, gazing at the incoming attack.

"The display is impressive… but the power is mediocre at best."

His tone was calm, almost indifferent.

Chu Yangping froze.

Then his face twisted in fury, and he let out a mocking laugh.

"Keep talking! Let's see if you can still run your mouth after this!"

But what happened next—

left his eyes wide with shock.
