Chu Zhiyuan and his group of nine wove through the bustling crowd.
Compared to the cleanliness of the Inner City, the Outer City was a bit chaotic and noisier, possessing a more wild vitality and vigor than the Inner City.
They moved like fish, seamlessly through the crowd, and soon arrived outside a courtyard.
At this moment, a scene of carnage unfolded within the courtyard.
Over a dozen people were locked in a fierce battle, fighting fiercely with no clear winner in sight.
Chu Zhiyuan was quite puzzled.
On the ground lay eight Yuding Sect experts, four dead, four still alive, eyes wide open, staring intently at the battle raging on.
Beside them lay two barely breathing experts from the Military Suppression Department.
Their clothes were torn, as if they'd been hit by an explosion, their faces speckled with black dots, resembling ants crawling all over.
Chu Zhiyuan frowned.
This seems like the Yuding Sect experts used the Jade and Stone Burning technique.
