Li Xiaotian departed, but the earlier fluctuations from his battle with the Black-Robed Alliance's Celestial King had caused quite a stir. Consequently, numerous martial artists had gathered at the edge of the devastated forest to observe.
They were all filled with curiosity and shock, gazing at the hundreds of miles of forest that had been destroyed, appearing as if struck by a natural disaster.
A Hegemon! It was undoubtedly a battle between Hegemon-level experts, otherwise, such terrifying destructive power would not have been unleashed.
The onlookers from all directions were unsettled. They stopped at the forest's edge, wondering what had transpired, but no one dared to venture in to investigate.
Even though the battle fluctuations within had subsided, more and more people were drawn to the scene.
*Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!*
Suddenly, countless martial artists clad in black, emanating powerful auras, appeared in the sky, causing everyone who witnessed it to gasp.
The Black-Robed Alliance!!!
Members of the Black-Robed Alliance had appeared so openly! What was going on? Considering the Black-Robed Alliance was a universally condemned organization, weren't they afraid of being besieged by the major powers if they acted so brazenly?
"How dare you! You beasts of the Black-Robed Alliance, pay for my daughter's life!"
A martial artist with a deep-seated feud against the Black-Robed Alliance flew into the sky, his fury boundless, and directly attacked one of the black-robed figures.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the attacker's body instantly exploded, turning into a mist of blood.
This scene was unfolding at various points along the forest's edge. Within mere breaths, many lives were lost.
Instantly, those who still intended to retaliate and the surrounding onlookers were terrified. While it was true that enemies would meet with burning hatred, and the Black-Robed Alliance had committed countless evils, making enemies everywhere in the Wild Continent, any member of the Black-Robed Alliance that dared to show themselves would surely perish.
But today was different, because there were too many of them.
At a glance, the entire edge of the forest was filled with people in black robes, numbering in the thousands.
To seek revenge against the Black-Robed Alliance at this moment was clearly suicidal.
At this moment, many among the onlookers turned pale and wished to flee. With so many members of the Black-Robed Alliance present, a siege against them was impossible, and they might even end up dead here.
However, fortunately, apart from retaliating against those who dared to attack them, the black-robed figures made no further moves, which allowed the onlookers to slowly breathe a sigh of relief.
"What's going on? Could one of the Hegemons who fought earlier be from the Black-Robed Alliance?"
Someone whispered, furtively glancing at the black-robed figures in the sky, afraid their words would be overheard.
"It's likely. They've cordoned off this area, clearly not wanting anyone to enter the forest. Of course, it's also possible they don't want anyone inside to get out."
Someone speculated, their eyes filled with curiosity, staring intently into the depths of the forest, wanting to get a clear picture of what had happened.
"Who among you arrived earlier? Do you know the identities of the strong individuals who were fighting? Why did they fight?"
Someone inquired. Hegemon-level battles were rare even in the Battle Domain, but each one was always a major event.
No one responded, but a group of youths in the crowd all had pale faces and flickering, uncertain eyes.
It was Jing'er, Tie Sen, and the others. Of course, Tie Sen was not among them; he had long since been tortured to death by Jing'er and the others.
These few individuals were currently filled with tension and shock. They knew what had happened because they had hastily fled the forest when the Black-Robed Alliance's Celestial King arrived, and the great battle had commenced shortly after.
However, they also understood that this matter could not be revealed. With so many members of the Black-Robed Alliance present now, if they dared to speak, their demise would be imminent.
*Buzz!*
Suddenly, a terrifying aura descended, making everyone feel as if a heavy stone was pressing down on their hearts, their bodies filled with pressure.
A Hegemon!!!
A Hegemon had arrived!!!
In the sky above, dark clouds gathered, and out of nowhere, a black figure appeared. He sat cross-legged amidst the clouds, hovering above the forest, directly over the area where the battle had previously occurred.
At this moment, everyone fell silent. Each person could feel the killing intent and rage emanating from the black figure, chilling them to the bone.
"It's a Hegemon from the Black-Robed Alliance! Heavens, what happened today?"
"How terrifying! Who angered the Black-Robed Alliance? They actually forced one of their Celestial Kings to appear!"
"Something big must have happened. Looking at this, the Black-Robed Alliance is on the losing side. Could it be that someone important to the Black-Robed Alliance has died?"
Countless people whispered, their hearts filled with shock and excitement. The shock came from the appearance of a Celestial King of the Black-Robed Alliance, and the excitement stemmed from seeing the Black-Robed Alliance suffer, which brought them immense satisfaction.
But then, their excitement vanished, replaced by pale faces and hearts filled with fear.
Because, in the blink of an eye, two more black figures appeared beside the Black-Robed Alliance's Celestial King in the sky, and their auras were so terrifying they made one's heart tremble and an urge to kneel arise.
Three Celestial Kings of the Black-Robed Alliance had appeared, three Hegemons appearing simultaneously!!
At this moment, the world fell into absolute silence, with no one daring to utter a sound.
The fact that it took the appearance of three Black-Robed Alliance Celestial Kings to cause such a reaction made it clear how immense the Black-Robed Alliance's fury was.
It was likely that news of this place had already spread. Those with grievances against the Black-Robed Alliance, especially Hegemon-level experts, might arrive at any moment.
It was possible that the next moment would see Hegemon-level experts from major powers besieging the Black-Robed Alliance members.
In essence, the Black-Robed Alliance was playing with fire. Once people from various factions arrived, the Black-Robed Alliance would face a significant battle.
"Southern Celestial King is dead! The residual energy signature at the scene indicates he was suppressed by the opponent before he could even make many moves!"
In the sky, a black-robed Hegemon spoke, his tone grave, a flicker of shock in his eyes. Although the Southern Celestial King was the weakest of their four, it was impossible for him to be so easily suppressed!
He did not suppress his voice when he spoke, so many present heard his words.
Instantly, countless people looked horrified, their expressions filled with disbelief. The Southern Celestial King of the Black-Robed Alliance was actually dead? That was a late-stage Hegemon expert, how was that possible?
Up,
