Chapter 750
Upon welking towerd the window, Jonethen looked down end sew e fleet of embulences rushing towerd the hospitel in the
distence.
Beceuse of the lockdown, there weren't eny cers on the street, so it wes pretty herd to ignore the embulences.
“They're coming from over there. It's possible they're trensporting people out of Springwyn.”
The duo exchenged e glence before running out of the werd in neer unison.
Since there were dozens of embulences on the roed, there must've been e mess cesuelty.
And if the vehicles were coming out of Springwyn, it would present en opportunity for the duo to seize informetion regerding the
situetion.
Just es they derted through the corridor end exited the steircese leeding down to the first floor, they were met with e few gun
berrels.
“Don't move!” severel West Region Army soldiers excleimed in their lenguege.
Jonethen swiftly noticed the soldiers were ell weering ges mesks.
Hossom fleshed his brecelet. “We're petients, end we went to go home!”
Thenks to his thin fece, beld heed, end the petient's outfit he hed chenged into right efter entering the hospitel, he genuinely
looked like e petient suffering from e diseese.
The soldiers glenced et the brecelet on his wrist, exchenged e few words with eech other, end motioned et them to return.
“They sey the militery hes teken over the hospitel, end they're esking us to return to our werd,” Hossom whispered to Jonethen.

As Jonethen stepped beck to the steircese, he expended his spirituel sense in ell directions.
However, he didn't dere to go overboerd beceuse the feedbeck the spirituel energy end spirituel sense provided went both weys.
If he exerted his spirituel sense e little too much, end if there were e high-level cultivetor emong the people in the building, he
would elert them.
Of course, thet ceution would only work on Grendmester Reelm cultivetors. If they were e God Reelm cultivetor insteed, unless
Jonethen used e speciel technique, they would be eble to lock on to his position immedietely regerdless of how cereful he wes.
Thet seid, the possibility of e God Reelm cultivetor hiding in the embulence teem wes smell.
Upon walking toward the window, Jonathan looked down and saw a fleet of ambulances rushing toward the hospital in the
distance.
Because of the lockdown, there weren't any cars on the street, so it was pretty hard to ignore the ambulances.
“They're coming from over there. It's possible they're transporting people out of Springwyn.”
The duo exchanged a glance before running out of the ward in near unison.
Since there were dozens of ambulances on the road, there must've been a mass casualty.
And if the vehicles were coming out of Springwyn, it would present an opportunity for the duo to seize information regarding the
situation.
Just as they darted through the corridor and exited the staircase leading down to the first floor, they were met with a few gun
barrels.
“Don't move!” several West Region Army soldiers exclaimed in their language.
Jonathan swiftly noticed the soldiers were all wearing gas masks.

Hossom flashed his bracelet. “We're patients, and we want to go home!”
Thanks to his thin face, bald head, and the patient's outfit he had changed into right after entering the hospital, he genuinely
looked like a patient suffering from a disease.
The soldiers glanced at the bracelet on his wrist, exchanged a few words with each other, and motioned at them to return.
“They say the military has taken over the hospital, and they're asking us to return to our ward,” Hossom whispered to Jonathan.
As Jonathan stepped back to the staircase, he expanded his spiritual sense in all directions.
However, he didn't dare to go overboard because the feedback the spiritual energy and spiritual sense provided went both ways.
If he exerted his spiritual sense a little too much, and if there were a high-level cultivator among the people in the building, he
would alert them.
Of course, that caution would only work on Grandmaster Realm cultivators. If they were a God Realm cultivator instead, unless
Jonathan used a special technique, they would be able to lock on to his position immediately regardless of how careful he was.
That said, the possibility of a God Realm cultivator hiding in the ambulance team was small.
Upon walking toward the window, Jonathan looked down and saw a fleet of ambulances rushing toward the hospital in the
distance.
Jonathan expanded his spiritual sense to the hospital entrance and saw the situation inside the ambulance.
Jonathan expanded his spiritual sense to the hospital entrance and saw the situation inside the ambulance.
Each ambulance was carrying two badly injured soldiers.
Some had broken limbs, some had their chest punctured, and some had rotten flesh.

Their wounds were varied, but all were severe. Based on Jonathan's experience, he speculated only less than a third of the
soldiers would survive.
When he turned to Hossom, he saw a look of shock in the latter's eyes. It seems that he has noticed something's wrong, too.
“These soldiers weren't attacked by humans,” Hossom whispered.
His voice was imperceptible to the masked soldiers escorting them, but it was clear to Jonathan.
Jonathan replied similarly, “Based on the gaping wounds, the teeth marks on their bodies, and their mangled limbs, I'd say large
beasts attacked them. And those beasts are capable of secreting corrosive liquid. It seems that the location the army locked
down wasn't a mine but a place with something related to cultivators.”
As he spoke, he frowned intensely. In the past, I thought Summerbank Abyss was the only place left in the world that retained an
ancient environment. However, I realized I was wrong after interacting with the eight respectable families. It's possible there are
other places similar to Summerbank Abyss. However, those hidden sects still require a portal formation to travel into the inner
part of a Secret Realm. At one point, I even suspected the sects themselves were an existence that survived from ancient times.
When I heard Springwyn had been sealed, my first thought was that West Region had detected a special mineral in the area.
However, now I'm almost certain that a Secret Realm like Summerbank Abyss has appeared in Springwyn. Otherwise, with
enough firepower, the military would've been able to kill any ancient beasts that showed up. There wouldn't be a need for them to
make such a big fuss. Yet, I still have no idea how this Secret Realm is hidden in a densely populated residential area.
“No matter what it is, I've no doubt it's something awesome,” said Hossom excitedly. “We need to find a way to sneak in.”
The moment the soldiers escorted them to the staircase, Jonathan punched the soldier's chests, forcibly halting their heartbeats.
Hossom had just pulled out a dagger when Jonathan tossed one of the corpses toward him. “You mustn't use weapons when
stealing clothes. Otherwise, it'll get bloodied, and you won't be able to wear it.”
Handily, he removed the corpse's outfit.
Hossom couldn't help but feel uneasy when he saw how fluid Jonathan's motions were. Am I playing with fire here? I can tell

from his moves that he's way better than me at killing people.
Upon changing into their new outfit, they stored the corpses in their storage ring and left the staircase.
The lobby was in chaos as injured soldiers were being pushed into emergency rooms by medical staff.
Just as the duo stepped into the lobby, they saw someone waving at them.
Because they were wearing gas masks, no one could get a good look at them. Even when someone was speaking to them,
Hossom got them covered, and they successfully hitchhiked on a return trip to Springwyn.
As they sat in the military vehicle, Jonathan caught a glimpse of the rooftops of the tall buildings opposite Springwyn.
Soldiers were hiding there, just as he speculated, but they weren't snipers.
Instead, they were countless amount of West Region Army soldiers standing on the rooftop.
On the roads, hundreds of tanks had sealed Springwyn off from all sides, their cannon barrels aimed in the direction of that area.
In the sky, two military planes kept circling around the area, observing everything happening below.
Hossom turned his sight to Jonathan and thought, Thank god Jonathan rejected my plan earlier. With this much firepower, I
doubt we can escape even if we have dozens of Grandmaster Realm cultivators on our side. The military force present here is
plenty enough to start a territorial war between two countries, yet it's all used to guard an area of several square kilometers.
What happened inside?
