At the same time, the matters regarding the destruction of Wu Gorge Base City had finally fermented.

  News had exploded and spread like wildfire!

  In just a matter of a few hours, the news head spread across the entire Huaxia, and had continued to spread outwards.

  What started as a ripple had caused a huge wave!

  The destruction of a base city was not something new, and Wu Gorge Base City was no big city either, it was just considered a medium sized base city, and this was based on the high population density in Huaxia areas.

  But the most important reason for the uproar is that no one managed to escape Wu Gorge Base City alive, every single person died!

  The Blackwater Nightmare Dragon’s ability to control souls in an area to instantly kill all within it was terrifying. Soul-based attacks are a truly unreasonable attribute.

  Because many life forms had weak defenses against soul-based attacks, leaving them with no means to withstand any attacks to the soul. Hence, in the face of a soul-based attack greatly exceeding what they could take, the only result was instant death.

  Of course, no matter what the reasons were, what happened had already happened.

  The total annihilation of Wu Gorge Base City had begun to ferment, and within that area, created widespread panic amongst the citizens.

  Some were worried that disaster would befall them next. The world was getting more and more dangerous. Today was Wu Gorge Base City, could their city face the same fate tomorrow?

  Online forums and social media exploded with activity, with people sending out posts and messages.

  In the streets, in companies and groups, in public places, people were uneasy and in panic. Some debated loudly, while others whispered in quiet discussions. This seemed to be the only way to dispel some of the fear and unease in their hearts.

  Upon receiving the news, the world government had immediately took steps to shut down large forums and deleted related threads from dominating discussions online.

  A raging dark current had been hidden under the peaceful exterior of the world.

  Translator’s notes:

  [1]: this is probably based on fengshui (Chinese geomancy). In this case, it probably comes from the belief that having certain important objects placed at important locations could influence the luck and fortune of the land. Similar to the idea of ley lines and having objects along them that could boost or block the flow of energy along the ley lines.
