When the turbid seawater, full of blood and silt, was gradually purified and carried away by the ocean currents on the seabed, the scene of the Crystal Palace was finally visible to the survivors.
More than half of the more than 100,000 underwater houses were destroyed at this time. At a glance, there were more wreckage than intact houses...
A large number of citizen corpses are floating in the sea water. There are only a few complete ones, half of them are considered good, and more are in pieces, which are difficult to identify.
Aplodi has so many collections!
There are tens of thousands of collections, and there are also many powerful monsters with strength exceeding Level 3... Once they all fall into madness, it will be like locusts passing through, and the results will be catastrophic.
Even though Lu Ping arrived as soon as possible, he was unable to do anything.
In just a short moment, he at least ended the lives of hundreds of crazy monsters with his own hands! But it was still unavoidable that the entire Crystal Palace was riddled with holes by more heartless monsters.
The only good news is that they have no clear purpose.
The reason for destroying the Crystal Palace was simply because the Crystal Palace was right in front of us and had a large population...
The monsters were unorganized and undisciplined, and they never stopped fighting among themselves, which caused their numbers to decrease rapidly over time. The shrimp soldiers, fish generals and extraordinary beings in the Crystal Palace were not vegetarians either... In the end, after paying a heavy price , the Crystal Palace finally eliminated the nearby monsters!
"Dad, Mom..." Lu Ping quickly found Lu Xuejiang and Yu Rui after order began to be restored.
The two men were also covered in blood, but fortunately they were both still alive.
Lu Xuejiang is missing one hand.
But it can be seen that his mental state is okay and his wounds are slowly growing and recovering.
But something was a little abnormal about Yu Rui... Although her body was fine, Lu Ping could tell that she was in a trance!
Aplodi is dead, and her mental control over all humans has naturally expired.
Therefore, Yu Rui's trance at this time should not come from external forces, but from her own heart!
Lupine was stunned for a few seconds before he figured out the reason.
"Don't blame yourself. You didn't mean to lead the way. No one can do anything if your mind is controlled... It wouldn't be you, it would be someone else." Lu Ping stepped forward and hugged her gently.
Her performance... I'm afraid she was stimulated by the tragedy in the city and fell into deep self-blame! Back then, Yu Rui personally led the Crystal Palace to Aplodi's resting place, causing the entire city to be captured. If there was one person responsible for the tragic scene in front of her, she obviously believed that the responsibility was hers!
At this time, Lu Xuejiang also came forward to persuade her. He was more familiar with her, but it seemed that... all the words were of no use.
Yu Rui forced a smile on the surface, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that her smile was extremely forced, uglier than crying.
Lupine saw it.
But he could only shake his head and ignore it for the time being.
The top priority is to lead the entire Crystal Palace to leave immediately...
The golden-robed prince didn't know whether he was blinded by hatred or was injured in the battle with Aplodi. In short, he left in a hurry after winning and did not continue to chase him.
But you can't afford to gamble on this kind of thing... If the other party later finds out in retrospect that Aplodi may have nothing to do with the troubles at the Hundred Gods Night Festival, and that he is the one who instigated everything... then he will definitely not let himself go!
The place where Aplodi died was determined not to stay any longer.
Lu Ping commanded the remaining shrimp soldiers and fish generals, and began to quickly direct the entire city to prepare for departure.

At the same time, Neptune City.
On the top of the central sacred mountain, inside the most majestic palace, milky white water coiled in the air like a rope.
Hundreds of milky-white "ropes" eventually merged into the deepest shadow of the hall.
After a while, a person slowly walked out of the shadow.
"He" wears a noble dragon robe of black and gold, a gold crown with a bead curtain on his head, and jade clogs with cloud patterns on his feet.
He walked very slowly, but in a blink of an eye he had arrived at the entrance of the main hall.
He raised his eyes and looked straight, his gaze seemed to be looking far away, but he quickly took it back and looked down at the middle-aged man in gold robe kneeling on the steps not far in front of him.
"My son...thank you for your hard work."
A deep and steady man's voice came from behind the bead curtain.
"Congratulations to my father for waking up and returning to the world!" The prince's voice could not conceal his excitement, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Father, how are you recovering from your injuries...?"
"The nectar and jade liquid you presented is indeed effective." The owner of the voice seemed unwilling to say more, waving his hand casually and saying, "But please step aside first... I just woke up and want to meditate for a while."
"Then I won't disturb the child. He will wait quietly in the courtyard for his father's summons." The prince immediately did not dare to say anything and hurriedly stepped back down the steps.
Wait until the prince disappears.
This majestic figure turned around and looked at the "Eastern Gate" among the four gates of the Central Sacred Mountain: "East, West, North, South".
"Come on," he whispered to himself.
A stream of light flashed across, and a huge piece of ice that originally hung on the top of the Dongtianmen Archway directly crossed a distance of a thousand meters and arrived at the entrance of the main hall!
The ice was several meters in diameter, heavy in weight, and made a thud when it hit the ground.
The temperature is also extremely low, the surface is foggy, and the interior is hazy. There seems to be something in the deepest part, but it is difficult to see clearly because of the thick ice.
"Decades have passed in the blink of an eye... I ask you, do you know you were wrong?" the majestic man asked coldly.
Following his words, the ice began to melt, the surface quickly turned into white smoke and evaporated, and the diameter of the entire ice mass became smaller and smaller.
Because of this, things inside can gradually be seen clearly from the outside.
That's shocking...
It's half a woman!
To be precise, it should be a quarter of a woman, because in this piece of ice, there is only the woman's head and face, part of her chest and ribs, and one right arm.
There was also a strange-shaped black and red dagger in his hand, which looked like a slender iron nail.
If there are outsiders here, just think that there are four heavenly gates on the top of the sacred mountain, and there is a piece of ten thousand-year-old ice on the top of each Tianmen archway...
It is not difficult to guess that this woman was actually divided into four parts and hung at the four heavenly gates for public display!
Faced with the question, the woman didn't react at all, and her eyes didn't even move at all, as if she were really a lifeless ice sculpture.
But the questioner obviously knew she was not dead.
"answer me!"
The majestic man's cold eyes seemed to pass through the bead curtain.
In fact, if you look at the facial features, the woman can be said to be extremely beautiful. After staring at this beautiful face for a while, the majestic man seemed to have a little softness.
"You and her... are so similar."
"And you are still the same as me! This is one of a kind. We should have been able to share eternal life and glory, and the emperor could have treated you as his biological mother... But you are really too stubborn."
"It's been decades, but you still haven't realized the loneliness of endless life... I can give you another few decades, hundreds of years, until the day you bow your head and admit your mistake."
"Go back." The majestic man waved his hand at the end.
The ice cube lifted into the air again, flew towards Dongtianmen, and was fixed on the top of the archway again.
The ice on the surface began to grow as if it were a living thing. As the ice thickened, the woman inside became blurry again.
But at the last moment of complete blur, the woman's eyes, which seemed to be eternally frozen, suddenly moved.
An invisible wave passed to her mind.
This fluctuation is not a strange thing, but a ubiquitous electromagnetic wave. Human beings have always used this thing as a medium for signal transmission.
Electromagnetic waves are everywhere and present at all times. After all, Neptune City is a technologically advanced human city. The wireless network covers the entire city, even on Mount Sacred Mountain.
On the Central Sacred Mountain, there are many divine masters who have the ability to detect electromagnetic field fluctuations, but being able to detect it does not mean that they can interpret the information contained in it. Even if they can, no one will have time to interpret it without chatting.
Since the God Lords have chosen to live alongside human cities, they have naturally become accustomed to it and are almost numb to it.
But when this signal touched the woman in the ice, it seemed to trigger certain mechanisms.
In the urban area of Neptune City, the lights on the surface of an inconspicuous game server suddenly began to flash at high speed, and a long series of messages were sent.
After a while.
"Did the data personality that I transformed into by separating a ray of soul die not long ago after all?" The woman in the ice said thoughtfully, "That's right, the separation was too hasty at the time, and the personality was too imperfect! It doesn't even have memory. You can inherit it from me."
"But judging from the memory backup, this data personality has done a lot of interesting things in Neptune City over the years... He actually adopted a lot of little ones and even named himself Ghost Horse Sword Princess?"
As the data continues to be received, a series of fleeting scenes flash through the mind of the woman in the ice.
Suddenly she was stunned.
"This guy...this guy calls himself a hunter!"
"Hey, is it what I thought?"
