When he thought deeply about it, Hou Hong's excitement couldn't be concealed. If it weren't for the presence of people beside him and the Tianwei Army below, he might have uncontrollably burst into laughter towards the sky.

Everyone becomes infatuated with supreme status!

...…

As Xiling Path City fell, Dongyuan Path City, which had been caught in conflict for over three months, also began nearing its end.

Above Dongyuan Path City, there was a pure gold dome. From afar, the dome emanated a thin layer of golden light, appearing almost transparent. Through it, one could clearly see the buildings, residents, even the ordinary people, everything inside the city.

What purpose would such a dome serve?

Just by looking at the expressions on the faces of the people within the dome, it became clear.

They would frequently look up at the dome, their pupils filled with panic and fear, and some seemed eager to rush outside, facing the golden dome, shouting towards the outside. Yet, outside, there was nobody at all, so naturally, there was no response.

Clearly, Dongyuan Path City was under lockdown...…

Yet within the dome, there were occasional muffled sounds, growing louder each time, causing the dome to tremble repeatedly.

With each tremor, the intensity increased.

Boom...… Boom... Boom...…

Bang...… Crack...

On June 11th, in the morning, a clear cracking sound suddenly came from the skies above Dongyuan Path City, causing countless residents in the city to immediately look up.

A crack appeared on the top of the golden dome.

The crack resembled a broken eggshell, with no distinct pattern, yet it continued to spread and expand outward, and as the noise grew louder, the speed of its spread increased.

Soon, the crack spread across the entire dome.

And when the crack reached the outer edges.

Suddenly, with a loud crash.

The entire golden dome shattered instantly.

"Hou Tong... Hou Tong... Hou Tong, that scoundrel, he's still alive, he's still alive..."

An old man with white hair burst forth from the still-partially intact dome, standing in mid-air, his pupils filled with immense terror, his face showing no hint of relief from escaping, only uncontrollable fear and emotion, muttering words only he could hear clearly.

The old man's fists still had lingering spiritual power waves, indicating it was he who broke the golden dome, but despite his escape, there was no joy on his face, instead, he appeared anxious, even inexplicably terrified.

"The alliance betrayed me, so Hou Tong intends to..."

The old man's words stopped halfway, suddenly realizing something, he quickly turned towards the direction of Jidu in the east, his expression tensed. Without any further hesitation, he transformed into a beam of spiritual light and flew towards Jidu.

"Third Villa Master Qin Fan was trapped for over three months..."

"But after three months, escaped nonetheless."

"Why did Wuwei King Hou Jing suddenly defect?"

"Not just Hou Jing defected, the alliance's army withdrew immediately, none aided Qinjian Villa, didn't you notice?"

"So...… are you saying that the alliance abandoned Qinjian Villa?"

"It's obvious, in my view, Jizhou... is about to descend into chaos..."

Seeing the old man turn into spiritual light and fly away, the residents of Dongyuan Path City dared to discuss openly. The martial artists and residents previously trapped in the city began to freely enter and exit.
