And then the phone hung up.
But half an hour later, the anchor announced heavily on television.
“Next, I’m going to announce to you all, a matter of great sorrow.”
“Just ten minutes ago, the entire city of Karin fell!”
“The entire city of three million people, aside from the eight hundred thousand people who were evacuated, the remaining millions of people, all perished.”
“Karin City, is a dead city!”
Immediately after that, on the television screen, it began to play the pictures that had been transmitted from the scene by the staff before they died.
Only to see that the World Tree descended on Karin City in an instant.
The shadow cast by the World Tree covered the sky.
Afterwards, it was seen that the original blue sky was instantly enveloped by the branches extending out from the World Tree.
Like the claws of the God of Death, it covered the entire city in an instant.
Billions of branches frantically extended, and the city turned into a demonically sealed .. locked in a cage.”
One after another was pierced by it.
Blood was drained, life was disappearing, and the delicate skin of humans dried up in an instant.
Everything was devoured in an instant…
The blue sky, in the blink of an eye, was dark.
When the World Tree, once again, revealed its formidable claws and teeth, all the people watching the live broadcast across the globe were quiet!
“This… how is this possible?”
Jiang Yuqing’s entire body froze as well.
Like a fool, she stayed in place.
No one had thought that the World Tree, in an instant, would exterminate a city!
While Jiang Yuzheng’s person was dumbfounded, Jiang Yuzheng’s mother seemed to have thought of something, and as if she was crazy, she took out her mobile phone to call her classmate.
However, how Ye Xilan dialled, it was always switched off.
In fact, at that moment, Ye Xilan had realised.
Her classmate, she was afraid that she was already in a bad way.
“Yu Qing, what’s going on?”
“Didn’t you say that your Auntie Peng would be fine?”
“Didn’t you say that the World Tree wouldn’t threaten Carlin City?”
“But why is it like this?”
“Why would it be like this?”
Ye Xilan asked her daughter with red eyes.
The woman on the other end of the phone was Ye Xilan’s best friend.
Back when they were in school, the two were bosom friends.
Later, after decades of graduation, the two had also kept in touch.
She would have had a chance to survive.
As long as she listened to the appeals on TV and evacuated out of downtown Karin, their family would be alive.
But, they listened to their daughter and stayed there.
In the end, following that city, they fell under the might of the World Tree.
It was their family that killed her best sister.
Ye Xilan was filled with guilt, tears streaming down her face.
Jiang Yuqing’s pretty face was pale.
She didn’t know why it was like this either.
It was logical that it shouldn’t have turned out this way.
“The Martial Alliance has been plotting for more than ten years, they had already prepared for everything long ago.”
“It’s reasonable to say that as soon as the World Tree erupted, they should have destroyed it with a thunderous force!”
“Where exactly did it go wrong?”
Jiang Yuqing shook her head, her heart filled with trepidation and incomprehension.
Before this, she had no fear of the World Tree at all.
This was because she felt that with the Giant Formation created by Zhang Nanhai, as well as hundreds and thousands of patriarchs around the globe joining forces, destroying a World Tree should be a piece of cake.
However, she did not expect that the World Tree would still cause so many casualties.
And while Jiang Yuqing was terrified, on the TV screen, the host was still broadcasting the doomsday live.
“Everyone, this is heavy news, this is a mournful moment.”
“I know that everyone is filled with sadness and confusion just like me.”
“Obviously, we’ve been preparing for so long, we’ve planned so much, but we still let the World Tree inflict such huge casualties.”
“This problem is not only shared by everyone, but also by me.”
“At this moment, I believe that everyone shares the same sentiment as me.”
“That is, where are our giants?”
“Where are they?”
“Why, when the people of Karin City needed them the most, the giants, didn’t show up!”
“Next, let’s give our time, to the Martial Alliance’s Lord, King Karo.”
“It is up to him, to explain the situation to us and resolve the doubts in our hearts.”
The host’s words fell, and soon, the screen flickered, and the interface cut to Carlo.
He was alone, sitting in his office.
In front of him was a huge long table, and behind him were grey and black walls.
“Hello everyone, this is Sutton.”
“I’m sorry, due to the suddenness of the incident, the World Tree’s movement speed was completely beyond our expectations, resulting in huge casualties in Karin City.”
“On behalf of the Martial Alliance, I would like to apologise to the people of the world.”
“However, there is no need for everyone to panic.”
“At this moment, the giants have already rushed to Carlin City.”
“We strive, in Karin City, to completely wipe out the World Tree!”
“In addition, I don’t until, whether or not Dragon God Temple Master Chu Tianfan, is also watching the live television broadcast.”
“If you see it, please, Mister Chu Tianfan, immediately lead the four Sealed Giants under your banner and run to the battlefield!”
“At this moment, when danger is at hand, no excuse is enough to justify you missing your chance to fight!”
“We don’t want the tragedy of Carlin City to happen again because of your tardiness!”
King Carlo directly urged Ye Fan to run to the battlefield immediately on the live TV broadcast.
The world that learnt of this was undoubtedly furious.
They almost transferred their anger, all of it, onto Ye Fan!
“No wonder!”
“No wonder the giant didn’t show up, so it was because of him!”
“It was his tardiness that disrupted the Martial Alliance’s plan.”
“Missing the opportunity to fight and ultimately causing the World Tree to kill Carlin City.”
“Ye Fan!”
“It’s all your fault!”
“It was your tardiness that killed millions of citizens in Karin City!”
In front of the TV, Jiang Yuqing angrily cursed Ye Fan.
She knew that this cousin of hers couldn’t be relied on at all.
He was a guy who could not make things happen.
Jiang Yuqing had never agreed to let Ye Fan participate in the Giant Project in the first place.
Ye Fan was a person who was greedy and afraid of death, a selfish person, he was not qualified to take on such a heavy responsibility.
However, Jiang Yuzheng was a person of few words.
Her opinion could not be conveyed at all.
Even if it did, no one would care about her opinion.
In the past, she could still blow Zhang Nanhai’s ear and sway the world.
Now that Zhang Nanhai was dead, no one in the remaining senior staff of the Martial Alliance cared about Jiang Yuqing.
Now, the only channel for her to get news was the TV.

And at the time when King Carlo openly urged Ye Fan to move as soon as possible, far away in the land of Chu Men, Gaia and the others, undoubtedly also got the news.
At that time, Gaia and the others, were undoubtedly furious!
“This group of damned old men!”
“It’s clearly because they were ineffective and overly optimistic, not evacuating the nearby population in advance.”
“Now that something has happened, you’re blaming the Dragon Lord instead?”
“Not good at doing anything, first place in dumping pots!”
“Dragon Lord, I think we should just leave them alone.”
“Just let them fend for themselves.”
“Otherwise, once the World Tree is removed, the crisis will be lifted. Next, the Martial Alliance side will inevitably unload on you, on us, the Dragon God Palace, as they have done several times before!”
“Isn’t that what they’re best at?”
Gaia exasperatedly said.
In Gaia’s opinion, it wasn’t like they were deliberately delaying.
They were honing their combined formations in order to have a greater certainty of defeating the World Tree.
But even so, the group of people from the Martial Alliance were still directing the hatred of the world to Ye Fan.
