Chapter 194: Everyone Be Careful, She’s About to Come Out
In the memories of the great tree, the Yuxiao Sect was bustling with activity that day, with Yang energy soaring into the sky, allowing sunlight to shine unobstructed onto the earth. At a glance, there were no shadows, as if a prosperous era before a terrifying outbreak had reappeared.
Mu Ruoyi did not dare to be careless, carefully searching the great tree’s memories for any clues.
…
Meanwhile, in the outside world, countless small black dots suddenly appeared in the east, flying towards them at high speed.
Qi Huang looked out and saw over twenty young men and women dressed in uniform. They were all riding on gigantic flying beasts. Leading them were four elders in plain clothes, who traveled through the air as fast as lightning, clearly all powerful cultivators in the Huashen Realm.
Qi Huang frowned and hid herself even better.
Elder Zhou also noticed uninvited guests and immediately ordered the members of the HuXiao Sect to form a concentrated defense around the great tree.
Cheng Hong Ling looked at Pang Pang, her jade-like hand gradually resting on the hilt of her sword. She understood very well that no matter who they were, their target was definitely not limited to the missing Nine Nether Demonic Cat of the Yuxiao Sect.
In the blink of an eye, the group descended. The old man at the front, with a harmless smile on his face, walked forward and greeted them like an old friend: “Elder Zhou! We haven’t seen each other for months, how have you been!”
“Who else could it be but Protector Ma from the Luotian Sect! What wind has blown you here?”
Elder Zhou clasped his fists in a perfunctory manner, his old face turning extremely ugly. It was clear that what he had feared had happened.
‘Luotian Sect?’
Hearing the name, Qi Huang’s mind began to ponder. Soon after, she found some relevant information. The Luotian Sect was a prefecture-level sect in the Eastern Haichuan Prefecture of the Xihui Dynasty, and its strength was three points stronger than the HuXiao Sect. However, she was not worried. As long as no cultivator in the Shentong Realm appeared today, she believed she could definitely control the situation.
“Of course, it’s the Nine Nether Demonic Cat of the Yuxiao Sect! I heard Elder Zhou has been here for ten days to half a month. Have you found any clues?” Protector Ma inquired curiously.
“No,” Elder Zhou replied indifferently.
“Then what is this?” Protector Ma’s gaze fell on “Pang Pang” in Cheng Hong Ling’s hand.
“This is the Nine Nether Demonic Cat from the Shuiyu Sect, not the one that went missing from the Yuxiao Sect,” Elder Zhou explained.
Qi Huang frowned in confusion. She really couldn’t understand why this “Zhou” was suddenly so kind as to personally explain for his main body.
‘No, he clearly wants to rob the Shuiyu Valley as well. Doing this is just to not have one more competitor,’ Qi Huang quickly realized, and then a cold smile appeared on her face.
“Is that so?” Protector Ma gave a meaningful smile, then turned his gaze to the great tree and asked, “What are you guys doing here?”
“Nothing,” Elder Zhou said, as if trying to hide something.
“Doing nothing? I don’t think Elder Zhou is such a leisurely person.” Protector Ma clearly didn’t believe it, so he began to observe carefully. After a moment, he smiled with understanding: “So it’s the Saintess of the Shuiyu Valley here. You’ve established a Soul Bond with this great tree. If I’m not mistaken, you’re casting Mullinglong, aren’t you? What are you trying to do? Trying to find clues about that Nine Nether Demonic Cat, right?”
Upon hearing this, Elder Zhou and the others’ expressions became even more dismayed. The current situation was clearly no longer under his control.
However, what was even more distressing for Elder Zhou was yet to come. Two more figures appeared in the distant horizon. They were the Left and Right Protectors from a major sect in the north, each with a cultivation level reaching the seventh level of the Huashen Realm or higher.
This way, a tripartite standoff was formed on the scene, with no one daring to break it lightly. As for Cheng Hong Ling and Mu Ruoyi, no one paid any attention to them.
…
Meanwhile, Mu Ruoyi was still reading the great tree’s memories.
Under the bright sun, countless Yin energies suddenly converged from all directions, madly pouring into the dungeon of the Yuxiao Sect. As the surrounding temperature dropped, the sunlight in the sky was quickly blocked by mist, and the earth fell into darkness, as if the doomsday had arrived.
The ordinary people living in the Yuxiao Sect thought it was just bad weather, so there was no commotion. But it was different for the high-level cultivators. They were in a panic and rushed towards the dungeon, quickly surrounding the entrance layer by layer.
“Sect Leader, I used my Spiritual Sense to probe. It seems there is something terrifying inside rapidly absorbing Yin energy, but I can’t see it clearly. It seems to be able to block Spiritual Sense searches,” an elder reported to Elder Liu.
“Everyone be careful and vigilant! No matter what happens inside, we absolutely cannot let any evil spirits escape,” Sect Leader Liu commanded with a solemn expression.
Thus, everyone stared intently at the entrance, their nerves taut with unknown fear, breaking out in cold sweat.
Not long after, bursts of screams echoed from the dungeon, as if the eighteenth level of hell had appeared.
Those at the entrance became even more nervous, some even trembling, unable to stand steadily.
“Today is the day the Yuxiao Sect is destroyed!”
Suddenly, a clear female voice came from the dungeon, extremely penetrating, like a lark’s song in a valley, echoing over the entire Yuxiao Sect.
“Boom!”
The next moment, Yin energy, as if it had substance, poured out from the dungeon, sweeping in all directions like a monstrous wave.
The few Yuxiao Sect high-level figures at the entrance with higher cultivation levels quickly activated their True Qi to protect themselves. The other disciples were not so lucky; they could not dodge in time and were instantly engulfed by the Yin energy.
“Ah! It hurts so much! Save me!”
A disciple screamed, his flesh and blood as if being burned by flames, rapidly decaying and falling off. Even his bones were not spared. a person, in the blink of an eye, turned into a pile of ashes and scattered with the wind.
The terrifying Yin energy poured out from the dungeon wave after wave, like a long-dormant volcano erupting, spreading across the entire Yuxiao Sect. Wherever it went, all things decayed, extinguishing life. Not a single disciple wearing the uniform of the HongHua Sect escaped, but the ordinary people were spared, as if they had eyes.
“Such… such powerful Yin… Yin energy! Just the area… attack alone is hard for us to resist! The Yuxiao Sect is probably in great trouble today!” an elder desperately held up his shield.
“Why… why is there such a terrifying… terrifying existence in this dungeon? Based on this aura, it’s definitely a fiend!” another high-level figure said with a trembling voice.
“Splat… splat…”
At this moment, a faint sound of footsteps came from the dungeon.
“Everyone be careful and vigilant, that fiend is about to come out!” Sect Leader Liu quickly cautioned.
The high-level figures immediately fell silent, using their Spiritual Sense and senses to their fullest, trying to see the situation at the dungeon entrance clearly. Their eyes were wide open, and heavy breaths rose and fell like bellows.
“Bang!”
A weaker high-level cultivator could no longer bear the terrifying pressure, his legs gave way, and he knelt down, immediately engulfed by the overwhelming Yin energy. The others could only watch helplessly, unable to rescue him.
As the footsteps grew clearer, a petite figure appeared at the dungeon entrance.
Mu Ruoyi stared intently, afraid of missing any detail.
Before the petite figure even appeared, a terrifying Spiritual Sense swept over, instantly crushing the several high-level figures of the Yuxiao Sect to their knees. Their True Qi stagnated, and countless Yin energies immediately shattered their protective True Qi.
“Ah! I am not reconciled!” Sect Leader Liu let out a tragic wail, his body rapidly eroded by the Yin energy, quickly turning into ashes. The other high-level figures met a similar fate.
Mu Ruoyi never dreamed that the entire high-level echelon of the Yuxiao Sect would be annihilated in just a few breaths, causing her soul to tremble. While fearful, she was also curious, so she stared intently at the increasingly clear petite figure.
