A huge crater had appeared, as if a layer of the ground had been simply erased from existence.
Xi Nan stood in the center of the crater.
His usual calm and dignified air was gone. His face was a bloodless, ashen gray, and his entire body emanated an aura of decay and corruption.
"What happened?"
Yin Yongqin, Ji Zhang, and the other Councillors were all shocked.
Just a moment ago, the fight had been a stalemate. How could Xi Nan have suffered such a devastating blow in the blink of an eye?
The crowd emerged from the Wizard Tower, gathering around Xi Nan and staring up at the sky as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Hmph."
A cold sneer echoed from the sky.
Pan Mo hovered in the air, gazing down on Xi Nan and the others. A grayish-white, diamond-shaped crystal floated in the palm of his outstretched right hand.
Pei Ze's eyes fell upon the crystal. His expression flickered, a vague sense of familiarity washing over him.
"A Rule Origin Crystal."
