As they ran out of the castle into the outside world, a loud noise came from behind them. They turned to look back and saw the castle burst out with a loud noise, then transformed into a cloud of smoke, disappearing into the air. The smoke lingered in the air, refusing to dissipate, like the castle's final sigh.
The three of them stood in place, looking in the direction of the castle's disappearance, with mixed feelings in their hearts. Shen Jingqi's eyes revealed a trace of loss and reflection: "We completed the mission but also lost this mysterious castle."
Xu An patted his shoulder, saying, "But we saved a kingdom."
Lin Yu also nodded, saying, "That's right."
However, just as they were immersed in their reflections, suddenly, the sky was filled with dark clouds, lightning, and thunder. A huge bolt of lightning tore across the sky, illuminating the entire land. Immediately after, a powerful aura came from afar, as if something terrifying was approaching.
