Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 604 - 467 Desperate situation!

```

The surging demonic aura emanated from the three "slaves" whose eyes opened, almost instantaneously flooding the space above the platform.

Kuang Xin, the auctioneer, and the three waiters not far away were naturally among them, but from within the distorted space, Bai E could no longer clearly discern the specific conditions of those affected.

In fact, the demonic aura that Bai E "saw" with his spiritual perception wasn't just emanating from them; the aura they released was condensed and restrained, merely enveloping their bodies.

However, from the corners of his eyes, Bai E could "see" even more black aura, flowing like currents in all directions.

Whenever it encountered any figure with a hint of life, the black aura would, as if alive, separate a strand from its source and, like a spirit snake, burrow into the bodies of the unwitting from behind.

Including Weslin, who was within arm's reach!

Bai E's immediate reaction was to grab with his arm imbued with Spiritual Energy, but it was like grabbing at an illusion and he grasped nothing but air.

It was unclear whether the black aura was merely an illusion or some special effect that transcended basic Spiritual Energy.

For the moment, Bai E couldn't detect any visible changes in those individuals who had been penetrated by the black aura, but it was obvious that he couldn't allow the situation to develop further.

"Marshal, we need to leave now," Bai E spoke, keeping in mind his fundamental duty to accompany and protect Weslin.

If the marshal were to die by his side, Bai E couldn't shirk responsibility.

Even if there was compelling evidence that he'd done everything within his power, as long as the fact remained, there would always be an indelible stain on his reputation.

The current demonic incident took place in the Inner City, and whatever adverse effects it had would be dealt with by the Inner City's professionals.

Bai E wasn't so arrogant as to think that only he was indispensable.

In a situation where he was absolutely certain of not losing, Bai E, alone, might have risked a direct confrontation, but with such an important person by his side, he couldn't act on a whim.

"Go! Go!" The moment the catastrophe struck, Weslin, sensing that ultimate sinister presence, panicked.

Weslin, bolstered by Bai E's prompt response, grabbed the arm Bai E offered and, using the strength provided, tried to make his way out, "Hurry up! Move it!"

He too possessed Spiritual Energy and could also see the black miasma that was visible only to spiritual vision.

The aura spread at the edges of all visible things, enveloping everything.

The transformation on the field became genuinely terrifying, kindling fear from deep within the heart, even for those lacking Spiritual Energy, as the drastic changes occurred in the real world!

The previously normal space now seemed as if refracted and reflected by countless irregular crystals or mirrors, creating a kaleidoscope of confusion.

The auctioneer, waiters, and iron cages within this space were already shattered and distorted beyond recognition.

The entire space around seemed like the blurred, distorted atmosphere above a furnace, filled with surreal distortions.

A heartbeat-like pulsation echoed from this hazy space, and those individuals with slightly weaker resolve merely felt their hearts beat a few times before a thread of blood trickled from the corner of their mouths, and they collapsed to the ground, never to rise again.

"How are those Arbitration Place enforcers monitoring the situation?"

"A great demon is nearly tearing through the barrier between high dimensions and reality to descend directly, and they still have discovered nothing!"

It wasn't just Bai E and Weslin; all the city's upper echelons in the private boxes—with their own Spiritual Energy experts or accompanied by them—what was happening, even if they had never truly witnessed it, was something they'd surely heard about during their Spiritual Energy practices.

An invasion from higher-dimensional demons!

All those who could still move and realize this began to flee from the private boxes, while many others, upon hearing that heartbeat pulsing from the distorted space, plunged into boundless panic and confusion. They either scampered around biting the dust or stood frozen in place like petrified chickens.

In the midst of the chaos, Bai E even lacked the time to concern himself with the whereabouts of the few players close to him.

Escorting Weslin through the crowd, Bai E realized that outside the auction hall, chaos reigned just as much.

The endless black aura continued to wriggle and spread at the edges of his vision, that horrifying presence constantly eroding people's sanity, like heavy drumbeats striking incessantly at their hearts.

"Slap slap slap slap!" Someone rushed to the elevator shaft and frantically pressed the button, but as the elevator doors opened, the one who first pressed the button had already become meat under the feet of those who stampeded in.

"This is the top floor!"

Although the building connected to even higher structures outside, the higher you go, the more the building is reinforced with special materials. Even one person's strength would not suffice. Even a barrage of missiles would likely take a while to blast even a crack open.

"Head to the first floor!"

Bai E only glanced at the chaos around the elevator door and didn't plan on taking Weslin down by elevator.

If the people on the top floor wanted to leave, wouldn't the people on every other floor below be just as eager?

At these times, it would stop on every floor, and every floor would require a fight for escape.

And the elevator would not close its doors as long as there was something blocking them at the entrance. Unless those inside had sufficient deterrent power and were ruthless enough, anyone taking the elevator would probably never reach the ground floor in their lifetime.
