Bai Su extended her spiritual power underground. Her search target shifted from the scorched earth to the Dark Power.
Sure enough, the Dark Power was slowly seeping downward through the soil.
The Dark Power contained within each patch of scorched earth was seeping deeper, converging three meters underground where it was channeled together toward the city.
It was pointing directly toward the vegetable garden.
Bai Su had her people start digging.
With the soil cover gone, the underground Dark Power billowed out into the air.
And this was only a portion of it, just outside the city walls.
Below, there was a channel that formed a "river" of power, connecting to the city's interior.
Lu Tingyan's brow furrowed. Watching the Dark Power surge skyward, he also quickly sensed that something was amiss.
He ordered the men to keep digging.
The deeper they dug, the more physically drained the soldiers became. They grew dizzy, their vision blurred, and their ears began to ring.
