Back when he left the Thirteenth District, the massive revealed beast head still filled Su Qi with lingering fear.
The kind of eerie force that could hide such power was no ordinary anomaly.
Moreover, Su Qi knew Principal Pei well.
Principal Pei was an extremely cautious person, considering every step thoroughly.
Even this time, going to the Thirteenth District might have been a personal sacrifice to explore a glimmer of hope.
Even with this mindset.
Whether that mysterious tomb was key to the world's integration or not, Principal Pei should have sent back a message.
Besides, the Extraordinary Squad led by Shen Chan was able to send messages; it was impossible for Principal Pei's team to have no news at all.
Thus.
There was only one answer.
It's likely that Principal Pei and his team were trapped in an anomaly.
"Let's go, we're heading to the Thirteenth District!" Su Qi decisively declared.
Hearing this, the Jiang Clan Elder instantly regretted it, even wanting to slap himself, and hurriedly advised, "Nephew Su, don't be so hasty. Why not return to the city and check if there's any news from the City Lord's Mansion before concluding."
"My information is from three days ago; the current situation is still unknown."
"Besides, two Destruction Level experts from Holy City are already on their way to the Ninth District and should arrive soon. It might be more prudent to discuss together then."
The Jiang Clan Elder deeply regretted it at this moment.
Why did I even mention this? If Su Qi went to the Thirteenth District because of my words and something happened...
It wouldn't just disgrace the family but the entire Ninth District.
At this time.
Xia Shengxuan was also extremely conflicted.
On one hand, there are his battle comrades, and on the other, the hope of the Ninth District; both are precious.
He couldn't just watch his brothers fall into danger, but losing Su Qi—
The loss would be immense.
In that moment, he yearned deeply for power.
If he had enough power, none of this would be a problem.
Seeing through Xia Shengxuan's thoughts, Su Qi consoled him, "Think positively; perhaps things aren't as bad as they seem. Principal Pei's strength is immeasurable, having repelled Destruction Levels before. Even if he can't fight the anomaly, he should be able to protect himself for a while."
"You know my strength best, almost at the peak of Principal Pei."
"As long as we act swiftly and support Principal Pei before the anomaly erupts, that's the best choice!"
At this time.
The Jiang Clan Elder suddenly felt something was amiss.
Almost at the peak of Principal Pei...
Doesn't that mean Su Qi... could possibly reach Destruction Level!?
Realizing this, the Jiang Clan Elder was shocked, as if he had heard some extraordinary insider information.
"Alright!"
"No time to lose; let's set off now!" Xia Shengxuan gritted his teeth and made a decision.
At the same time.
In his heart, he secretly resolved that if they truly encountered danger, he would ensure Su Qi's safe retreat, even at the cost of his own life.
With Xia Shengxuan's approval, Su Qi turned his gaze to Yun Rou, "What about you?"
Yun Rou glanced at Su Qi and uttered two words, "Nonsense."
Thus, everyone reached a consensus and immediately sped toward the Thirteenth District.
Luckily, they encountered the Jiang Clan Elder here.
If they had returned to the Ninth District before finding out, it would have wasted a lot of time.
Though not yet in the Thirteenth District, they were already nearing the border of the calamity spread.
In just a day's journey, they witnessed bizarre, chaotic landscapes and ash falling from the sky.
However.
This was due to the terrifying speed of the Beast on Disaster Level's corpse, far surpassing the speed of a great ship, and coupled with the Disaster Level's pressure, many fierce beasts dared not approach, reducing a lot of trouble.
It was simply the perfect means of travel in the wilderness.
On the other side, seeing Su Qi and his team rushing toward the Thirteenth District without hesitation, the Jiang Clan Elder abandoned any thoughts of team training, focusing instead on maintaining the communications base and receiving messages from Lord Pei Jing and Su Qi.
Now that Su Qi was heading to the Thirteenth District, this news had to be relayed back to the Ninth District as soon as possible.
Upon hearing the news, Lin Nan flew into a rage, nearly scolding the Jiang Clan Elder.
However.
He knew it wasn't the elder's fault.
Even if Su Qi returned to the Ninth District and learned of Brother Pei's disappearance, he likely wouldn't have been dissuaded.
With things as they were, all Lin Nan could hope for was that Su Qi could meet Brother Pei and return safely.
Faced with the current situation, Lin Nan felt a deep sense of helplessness, as if overnight, this area could no longer be managed by Apostle Level forces.
Disaster.
Came too quickly, giving no breathing room.
It's been less than twenty years since the beast tide erupted; the grass on the graves hasn't had time to grow tall enough.
Meanwhile, the Jiang Clan Elder hurried back to his family, gathering everyone.
He recounted everything that happened and questioned, "What do you think about Su Qi claiming to rival Pei Jing at his peak—how much truth is there?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was moved.
They also realized this discussion was not only about Su Qi's true strength but also crucial for requesting aid from the Holy City Jiang Family.
Because.
Given the Holy City Jiang Family's concern for their branch at most, Jiang Qingwei speaking up would have limited effect in persuading Destruction Levels—only transcendentals with some connection to their branch might be moved.
But if Su Qi truly reached the realm Pei Jing did...
He'd be a Young Saint Master! Tied closely to the Jiang Family, potentially their son-in-law!
Would the Holy City Jiang Family not want that too?
The weights after and before this revelation were entirely different, likely causing a stir in the Holy City Jiang Family!
Instanly.
The Jiang Clan seniors fell silent; even though emotionally they leaned towards believing in Su Qi, it seemed far-fetched.
Even if they dared report it, the Holy City Jiang Family might not believe it.
In response, Jiang Dajun stepped out, nonchalantly saying, "Doesn't matter; it's better to believe it than not. That kid is quite mysterious; let me report it. After all, they usually think I'm unreliable."
"If I'm wrong, I'll just get scolded—if I'm right..."
