Just a kilometer away from the town, a sudden explosion was heard from afar, followed by a beam of light that pierced through the river straight into the sky, reaching tens of thousands of miles high. An indescribable terrifying pressure erupted like a tidal wave, sweeping across the small town in an instant like a flash of lightning.
As Su Yu was swept by the flash, he paused and became unable to move. His gaze happened to fall upon the nearby small town, now appearing like a paused game screen, where no one could move.
"Such a quick response."
Seconds later, a booming voice echoed in everyone's ears:
"Celestial Cangtian has lost a valuable treasure. No one is allowed to leave. Those who have left the city must return immediately to cooperate with the inspection."
Then Su Yu found that he was able to move.
But he didn't continue leaving; trying to leave now would certainly draw attention. He could only turn back towards the riverside town he had just left.
