BXBX NOVEL Chapter 132 Left
Everyone at the forefront was surprised by the sudden appearance of the hurricane. Some people stopped and looked back, trying to figure out the cause. However, Wang Mei shouted at them.
"Don\'t stop! Keep moving!" She didn\'t want any more of her members to be killed.
Judging from the rotation of the wind, the typhoon seemed to be chasing them. If they stopped for even a moment, they would be swept away. Hence Wang Mei chose to keep moving. Besides, they were currently being chased by time. 24 hours was very little time.
Reducing the number of troops would speed up the movement. That\'s what the woman thought. Wang Mei realized that her decision was selfish. She wanted to save everyone, but that was impossible. Sometimes not everyone could be saved. She would rather give up some lives than lose them all.
Ling Tian thought the same thing. He wasn\'t involved with this mission from the beginning. He was only helping. Hence he chose to stay still and go with the flow. As long as there were no orders from Wang Mei, he would keep moving. His priority at the moment was his men. Golden Dragon.
With a heavy heart, all the hunters continued to move away from their companions.
On the other hand, Isaac was still busy in the back row reducing the number of hunters. Half of his mana was used to create two cyclonic vortices that swept away hundreds of hunters. Most of them were Phoenix Armada.
His gaze then fell on the group of hunters far ahead. They were already out of sight.
\'I think this is enough.\'
Finally, he stopped creating the cyclone.
Isaac immediately left leaving dozens of injured hunters behind. He picked up the unconscious Guo Chen, then caught up with the party.

The city of Tianjin was in turmoil.
The sound of emergency sirens echoed throughout the city. The streets were jammed, packed with vehicles. Honking and cursing could be heard in the air. Several military vehicles were seen passing by, transporting civilians. In the sky, several helicopters of journalists were covering the city.
Currently, there was a massive evacuation.
It has been two hours since the earthquake. Upon investigation, the source of the quake came from a dungeon on the outskirts of Tianjin. The giant tower was slowly falling.
Soon, a dungeon would collapse.
Because of the dungeon\'s large size and height, the government decided to evacuate all civilians in the vicinity. Although the area of the dungeon has been restricted, there was still a possibility that the zone where the debris was falling would expand.
The news of the collapse of the dungeon in Tianjin made the world buzzed.
After one year since the appearance of the dungeon, for the first time there was one that collapsed. The internet was in an uproar. Various crazy ideas and theories began to fly around. Some thought that the party hunters led by Cheng Ho made it to the top. Some thought that the owner of the dungeon was angry because his home was disturbed. There were also those who think that was Cheng Ho and his men managed to find the self-destruct button.
The confusion makes strange rumors circulate. The government\'s lack of response made people even more worried. Plus, the media made things worse by creating headlines that provoked a ruckus.
[The world\'s first dungeon was destroyed! Is this a failure or a success of mankind?]
[Deputy Director of Nine Sky, Wang Yi, confessed to taking \'homunculus\' children from the dungeon. Is this the cause of the dungeon\'s destruction!?]
[The Hunter\'s Association does not provide clarity. China will be destroyed in one night!?]
The entire mainland of China was in an uproar all day. Even so, Beijing still looked sparkling as usual. Tall buildings and magnificent structures were still brightly lit up against the stars above the night sky.
Among dozens of skyscrapers, a building with a fountain in its courtyard seemed to be filled with dozens of reporters. White light flashed several times. The camera button did not stop making a \'click\' sound.
The building was the headquarters of the Hunter Association.
On the 50th floor, there was an office with a door that read "Chairman Room". The phone rang repeatedly. An elderly man continuously picked up the phone and answered in a friendly voice, though his face looked otherwise.
"Oh, yes. Mr. President. Right now we don\'t have a definite answer. We will look into it as soon as possible."
Tuuut.
After dozens of calls, the phone finally stopped ringing. Then the old man sat down at the table with an exhausted face.
"What the hell is going on? I should have retired sooner."
The Chairman of the Hunter Association, Xiong Li, had been receiving complaints and inquiries from various parties since this morning. Whether it was from overseas associations or the government. The chairman couldn\'t help but repeatedly call the old man, asking about the progress of the dungeon. But he couldn\'t give a definite answer because he himself didn\'t know. The search team he sent out, the Golden Dragon, had not delivered any news so far.
The problem weighing on him wasn\'t just this. Wang Yi brought monsters out of the dungeon and asked the Hunter Association for protection. This certainly sparked controversy.
"I hope to die tonight." Xiong Li sighed as he closed his eyes.
He saw a piece of paper and a pen among the dozens of documents piled up on the table. For a moment, Xiong Li looked at it, then he picked them up. The old man wrote a resignation letter.
Suddenly, the door slammed and a formally dressed woman appeared.
Xiong Li stopped writing, his gaze glued on the person who disturbed him. "I know the situation is chaotic, but please don\'t make the office atmosphere chaotic. What\'s wrong?"
The woman was dripping with sweat. She was breathing heavily as if she had just run down the hallway. Her facial expression looked shocked.
She gulped. "Excuse my impoliteness, Chairman Xiong Li. I brought a big news."
The chairman snorted. "I\'ve heard a lot of big news since this morning. Now, hurry up and tell me."
"The joint raid group has returned. They all just returned from the dungeon in Tianjin. Including the Golden Dragon."
Hearing the shocking news, Xiong Li opened his eyes wide. The old man grinned. He crumpled up the resignation letter and threw it into the trash can.
"Prepare the helicopter, we\'re going to Tianjin."
The secretary lady nodded, then ran into the hallway.
Xiong Ling picked up the coat draped over the chair and put it on. He walked steadily to the exit. He strode steadily, his lips in a wide smile.
In a moment, the entire spotlight was on him.

In a dark and cold place, a man was sitting on a black stone throne. His skin was pale blue in color. Striking black clothes with silver ornaments adorned his body. His hair was gray like grains of ash. His bright blue eyes looked at the floating Crystal Core.
The light of crystal projected the sight of a tall tower that was slowly collapsing. The man smiled widely as he watched.
There was a woman with dark skin stood beside him. She was wearing a red colored suit. On her back was a pair of yellow wings.
"You are enjoying the view very much, Lord Vassago," the woman said in a polite tone. She smiled and bowed her head.
A low chuckle could be heard from Duke Vassago. The demon tapped his fingers on the arm of the throne.
"Another one of Duke Barbatos\'s men died. This time to the point of losing the dungeon. That fool must be very angry. China will be very vulnerable."
Losing a dungeon was the same as losing a fortress. It was the same as opening up a gap in the defense of territory.
"This will make it easier for my lord to control Mongolia. Your plan to expand into China will become easier."
Hearing his assistant\'s words, the smile on Duke Vassago\'s face vanished.
"That means it will also be easier for Lady Alyna. That bitch must have also seen this opportunity. Do you still believe that this plan will go easily, Miriam?"
The woman gasped, then prostrated herself while hitting her head hard on the floor. She realized she had just given the wrong compliment.
"I believe Lord Vassago is capable of defeating Lady Alyna. That woman is not as great and brilliant as you."
Duke Vassago clicked his tongue. Miriam squeezed his hand.
"I\'m sorry if I misspoke, my lord," she hurriedly apologized, before her master grew even more displeased.
The Lord sighed. He told Miriam to get up and she quickly stood up. Duke Vassago walked over to the Crystal Core floating before him. His hands were outstretched.
"You are not wrong, Miriam. You don\'t need to apologize, because what you said is true. No matter who my opponent is, I will destroy them!"
