Escaping

The moment everyone heard one of their own shouting out a curse followed by a warning, the other Cultivators at the Specta stage halted in their tracks.

Ignoring the wandering souls they had almost defeated, they immediately released their Soul force.

This allowed them to sense the same devices as Jason and the youngest of them had sensed earlier.

Their expression turned grim and their faces paled visibly, as everybody started to shout warnings and curse themselves for their mistake.

"This fucking Bastard!!" 

"Fuck!" 

"RUNN!!" 

Just at that moment, the High Goblins that were in charge of the mysterious devices seemed to have noticed the fluctuations that reached them.

As such, instead of continuing to empower the device they had been ordered to fill to the brim, they activated it immediately even though it was only partially filled.
