nOld one moved at his maximum speed he can reach in his current state.

nJust when Sai and his team are about to chase him, they realized they are not able to move. Old one looked at them from the tent and smiled.

nSai looked around and saw some incense emitting some kind of smoke.

nHe realized that they fell victim for the same hallucinogen, but this time they came prepared.

nAll of them accumulated the spiritual energy within their lungs and started sending the smoke that filled their lungs out of him forcefully.

nBut Old one is already on his way to the thunder god temple. He entered the Space gate and appeared in one of the islands which is present in the outskirts of the thunder god temple's territory.

nThis is one of the secret space gates he created to send the Consummate realm high priests to this place after the whole absorption was complete. But his plan failed and now he is moving to find out the person who spoiled the plan.

nAfter he entered the Thunder god temple, he made his way towards the Space gate island.

nHe knew that there is a Space gate to the western continent and the centuries of his presence gave him the opportunity for him to know the layout of most major powers.

nHe reached the Space gate island within a few minutes, because the island that he arrived is quite near to that one.

nAs soon as he came to the Space gate island, he was greeted by some Nascent stage cultivators who are guarding the Space gates.

nHe released his aura completely and walked forward, the Nascent stage cultivators couldn't get handle the pressure and felt suffocated.

n

"I want to go to Sam's city. Where is the gate leading to the western continent?

"

nHe asked in an overbearing tone.

nThe Nascent stage cultivators didn't even make a noise, in fact they are unable to talk.

nOld one held on by the neck and asked.

n

"Which Space gate should I use?

"

nThe guard raised his hand weakly as he pointed at the newly made Space gate. This Space gate leads to the woods near the Sam's city.

nOld one doesn't know that, although he did send soldiers to Sam's city and even attacked the city but he doesn't have enough information network to get the new information as soon as something happened.

nHe walked towards the Space gate and looked at the person in charge of the Space gate and made his shiver in fright. He started depositing the spirit stones to send him to the western continent.

nAs the Space gate activated, Sai arrived at the secret Space gate in the outskirts.

nThey don't know what this place is and didn't recognize it immediately.

n

"Where are we?

" Sravan asked in confusion.

nAt this moment, they sensed the raging aura of Old one from there from the tracks he left when he travelled to the Space gate Island.

nThey followed the tracks and made their way towards the Space gate Island.

nOnly after they reached the Space gate Island did they understand where they are, they recognised the place by the uniforms that the guards wore.

nThe guards are making picking themselves up as they felt relieved after the pressure was gone.

nBut when they saw the new batch of people coming, they felt their hearts tighten again.

nSai asked about what happened and the guard sung like a bird about where Old one went.

n

"You, go to the core region of the temple and inform the Grand elder that Old one is in western continent.

"

nSai gave instructions to one of the guards and then looked at the team.

nMore than half of them are badly injured by the collision of the energies.

nHe doesn't know if they can take another Space gate journey and still fight. They need to recover a bit.

n

"You guys stay here. We will go chase him and you recover until the Grand elder comes here and come along with him.

"

nWith that they got ready to go on the Space gate and the guard started making the preparations.

nMeanwhile, in the western continent, Old one is running towards the City after he appeared in the woods.

nThe Sky scraper is a dead giveaway.

nHe reached the city within a few minutes.

nThe city is sealed right now due to the war and the guards on the city wall are on high alert.

nWhen they looked at the Old man who is injured all over, they felt like this is extremely weird.

nThey called and reported to their higherups and the news soon reached Philip.

nPhilip immediately reported the situation to Sam.

nBut Sam is already watching the Old man in the tower through the surveillance screen.

nHe just waned to go through the surveillance of the whole city and he came across this situation.

nHe watched the whole fiasco calmly without doing anything.

nOld one is looking at the formation restriction that was blocking him entry into the city.

nHe looked at the city guards and said.

n

"Bring the guy named Sam here, I don't have a lot of time.

"

nThe guards didn't day anything, they just received the orders from higherups to not to do anything and just stay put.

nThey also noticed that the spiritual energy waves around the Old man are extremely chaotic and high.

nOld one didn't ask them again and just walked forward.

nWhen he encountered the restriction, he extended his hand and sent a spiritual energy wave and the formation broke and he walked forward casually.

nAt this moment, Sam finally made his move.

nHe got on Harbinger as he flashed past to the top floor and reached the roof.

nOne the roof, there is a small room which couldn't look any more normal.

nSam walked in and sat on the chair which is in the centre of the room and the chair has a helmet placed on it.

nHe sat down and wore the helmet and it glowed with some runic patterns. Followed by that the whole room lit up with the runic patterns followed by the whole building.

nPhilip and the rest of his friends are extremely astonished as they saw the whole building glowing with runic marks.

nThen they remembered something and went to their respective floors and took seat that they are supposed to take. This is what Sam explained to them when the city was built.

n

"Attention everyone in the City.

"

nSam started speaking and the whole city was resounded with those words.

nAll the workers and the permanent citizens of the city including the city guards all looked towards the Sky scraper.

nSam's voice continued.

n

"This is Sam. The person in charge of the city you are living in. As for why you are hearing my voice, it is because the city is under a crisis at the moment.

nThe crisis is strong enough to wipe out everyone in the city. He is a dozen times stronger than Emperor of this continent.

"

nHe paused a little and the citizens are already feeling anxious. They have some sort of blind trust in Sam that they didn't even suspect for a single second that he might be bull**ting.

nAs they are thinking of what to do, they heard his voice again.

n

"I can avert this crisis completely and for that I need your help. All you have to do is place your hands on your nearest wall and inject your spiritual energy into it. Do not stop the spiritual energy flow no matter what happens.

"

nAs soon as his words are finished everyone ran towards their nearest wall and started injecting their spiritual energy.

nAll the walls and every structure started glowing with runic symbols.

nAt the same moment, there is a quake in the earth as they looked towards the sky scrapers.

nAround the sky scraper some doors opened on the ground and large pillar came out of it.

nThe pillars are made of energy cells and all of them are fully engraved with runic marks.

nAll the runic marks on the structures started glowing and even the roads are glowing with weird patterns.

nThe energy crystals started sending the energy towards the buildings.

nThe huge glass sphere which appeared on the day Sam woke up appeared once again.

nApart from that a lot of glass prisms appeared on the walls of the city and all the structures of the city.

nIn the room, Sam closed his eyes and the veins on his head are throbbing.

nOld one looked at the city which was suddenly glowing in lights.

nHe could sense a large amount of light elemental energy, Just as he was about to advance further, many light beams emerged from the glass sphere on top of the building and they are reflected all around the city through the prisms that are placed in certain positions.

nOld one watched as the light beams danced all over the city and before he knew it, the light beams formed a curtain around the city, restricting his access.

nHe extended his hand and placed his finger on the light curtain, but as soon as he placed his finger, he felt a burn and the flesh on his finger was completely incinerated.

nHe didn't expect that these light beams can even damage him.

nAt this moment, the light curtain had some ripples and Sam's face appeared on it along with a loud voice accompanying it.

n

"Who are you? Old one or his subordinate?

"

nSam asked in an extremely calm voice.
