"Escape? If there really were a disaster, would you have a chance to escape? Luckily, this teor shower didn’t directly hit our Heishi City, otherwise you wouldn’t even have a chance to run for your life, so inexperienced!" soone beside coldly huffed disdainfully.
"Yes, if it had fallen directly on our heads, it’s likely that not even nine lives would save us from death," another said, relieved.
"Do you think you won’t die just because it didn’t land on your head? Logically, such a grand teor shower falling, even if it didn’t hit Heishi City, would probably flatten everything within a thousand miles radius—I don’t feel anything though?" soone else said, perplexed.
"True, such terrifying teors falling, and not just one, but a shower of them, and I only felt a slight tremor, wasn’t as horrifying as the legends say?" others echoed, also puzzled.
"What do you know!" a scholarly-looking old man flicked his robe sleeves, his face full of contempt, "You see the teor shower as if it was falling on our Holy Court Continent, but that’s not the case. The majority of what fell were just teorite fragnts, and most burned to ash midway through the air. Hardly anything actually landed on the ground, otherwise we wouldn’t be alive."
"So that’s it, Mr. Fang is indeed knowledgeable," the others realized with admiration and said admiringly.
"Anyway, this teor shower isn’t really a threat to our Heishi City, so everyone need not worry too much. However, those who happened to be outside the city, caught by teorite fragnts, will certainly et their end. Once the teor shower is over, we’ll go outside and see, and if we can still find so bones, we’d do well to collect their bodies," Mr. Fang, after being praised, wore a faceshowing a compassionate deanor.
Amidst the crowd, Mu Cheng and his follower had smirks of schadenfreude on their faces.
People outside the city, wasn’t that just Mu Hanyan? From the direction he had left the city, it was exactly where the teorite fragnts had fallen.
"Hehe, this ti Mu Hanyan is definitely dead," the follower mocked with a sneer.
"This idiot, thinking he could escape unhard, who knew he’d encounter the teor shower, now he’ll die even faster, hahaha." Mu Cheng laughed uncontrollably with excitent.
"Shall we go and see, help recover his body?" the follower asked with a malicious grin.
"Collect, of course, we collect. After all, we are family. I, Mu Cheng, still have that decency, hehe...haha." Ye Cheng put on a face of righteous indignation, yet his eyes were filled with mockery. You tried to trick , Mu Hanyan, now your retribution has co, right?
"I appreciate the thought, but I’m sorry to disappoint you," suddenly, Mu Hanyan’s calm voice rang out from behind.
"Wha..." Mu Cheng’s laughter stopped abruptly, he turned his head, eyes wide as if he had seen a ghost, and looked at Mu Hanyan incredulously, "You...you didn’t die?"
"Wanting dead is not so easy," Mu Hanyan looked disdainfully at Ye Cheng and said coldly, "Also, a piece of advice for you, stop opposing from now on, otherwise your death will be hideous."
After saying this, Mu Hanyan did not look at Mu Cheng again and walked straight toward the city.
Behind, Mu Cheng’s mouth remained agape, speechless for a long mont.
Although Mu Hanyan appeared no different from before and his tone was calm and indifferent, he brought to Mu Cheng an unusual sensation that was unprecedented. Dignity? Pride? Even Mu Cheng himself could not describe this feeling, but when Mu Hanyan’s last sentence ca out, he felt an inexplicable reverence and even dared not mock as he had before.
