In the dark room, on top of a huge spiritual tree, the candles of thousands of soul lamps were emitting a faint light.
Not long after, the door creaked open, and an old man walked in with a solemn expression: "Has the Soul Lamp changed? I wonder if something happened to an elder or an inner disciple."
This is the natal soul lamp. Every core member of the Qingyun Sect must prepare one so that the master can check the situation at any time. It can even deduce one's status and location based on the sword card to facilitate rescue.
Even after the last attack in the sect, the Jindan elders worked together to analyze the blood demon's method, researched the magic method for it, and upgraded the soul lamp, greatly enhancing its sensing ability.
"Not an inner disciple...nor a deacon...this..."
The elder who guarded the natal sword card had a sharp eye like an eagle. He started from the bottom row and scanned it, but found nothing wrong.
After looking around the middle floor again, there was still nothing. Seeing this, the elder who stayed behind seemed to have thought of something, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
There aren't any in the middle or lower classes, so it couldn't be... it's the soul lantern from the upper classes, right?
But the soul lanterns on the middle level and above are no longer dispensable to the huge Qingyun Sect.
The middle-level soul lanterns are only outstanding and have the potential to impact foundation building, as well as those foundation building monks who are old or have exhausted their potential.
At the upper level, there are those foundation-building monks who hold high positions of power, have terrifying combat potential, and are even expected to reach the golden elixir and enjoy eight hundred years of immortality!
There are less than thirty such existences in the Qingyun Sect with tens of thousands of monks. No matter what happens to any one of them, it will be a serious injury to the Qingyun Sect and destroy its vitality!
"Could it be that something happened to one of the top elders, or even a Jindan reserve... true disciple?"
The elder who stayed behind suddenly raised his head and looked at the soul lamp on the upper floor. His eyes suddenly widened and his hands and feet felt cold:
"In such a situation, not only is the army disbanded, but also... both body and soul are destroyed! A true disciple with the potential to attack the golden elixir has completely fallen..."
Although the sky is not falling in this situation, the impact on the future will be extremely far-reaching.
After all, there are only about a dozen monks in Lingnan who have the potential to attack the golden elixir.
If we add the issue of probability or running away, who can say with certainty whether the Qingyun Sect will still have a Golden Core cultivator in charge in the future?
Even thinking about it in a worse direction, if the Qingyang Patriarch fails to attack Yuanying, the Qingyun Sect will no longer have as abundant resources as it does now after fleeing to Lingnan.
Maybe by then, Lin Chen and others will be the last golden elixir seeds of Qingyun Sect. The loss of any one of them will be a major event that can change the future!
"No...I must report to the leader and the ancestors quickly!"
The elder took one last look and saw that where the soul lamp originally was, the two characters 'Wang Cheng' were clearly engraved on it.
"What happened?"
Not long after, the middle-aged leader came to the sacrificial hall with a serious face, revealing that he was very uneasy in his heart.
"Report to the leader..."
The elder's mouth was full of bitterness and he could hardly speak. He could only point to the highest point.
When the leader saw it, he immediately felt as if he had opened two pieces of Heavenly Spirit Cover and poured a ladle of cold water down on him. His whole body was frozen: "How is this possible? How is this possible!"
The leader stared at the scene in front of him, his body trembling uncontrollably.
What shocked him was not only the death of Zhenzhuan, but also the death of Wang Chengke on their own territory of Qingyun Sect!
An important figure in the Qingyun Sect died on his own territory. Is there anything more ridiculous than this?
"Sect Master, what should we do now?" asked the elder on the side.
The sect leader didn't reply for a while, but accepted the last news from the soul lamp, and his expression couldn't help but change:
"Demon cultivators surrounded and attacked?!"
In the last scene, even though there was some inexplicable interference that made it a little blurry, he still saw Wang Cheng being besieged by seven demon cultivators!
"This!" After hearing the news, the elder's expression also changed.
The sect leader didn't care about him, but sent out messages one after another, notifying Zhang Mengyao and others to pay attention, and also reported it to the Golden Pill Patriarch.
After a while, after receiving the news from all parties, the sect leader's eyes narrowed, he took out a spiritual talisman, and said in a deep voice: "The matter is urgent, you can arrange things here now, and then follow me immediately!"
"yes!"
Soon, the two of them flew directly to a mountain range of Qingyun Sect.
"Sect Master, now is..."
"The Patriarch ordered that if there is any problem without Jin Dan taking action, go find the true disciple who has returned mysteriously!"
Not long after, the two of them searched for the talisman instructions and came to a mountain range.
"This... there is no formation and no spiritual veins here. Why does the mysterious true successor live here?" After a cursory observation, the elder asked puzzledly.
"These are not the key now." Sect Leader Zhuang Yuanzhang said solemnly, "What the Patriarchs mean is that if anything unexpected happens, come here and someone will handle it. Let's go!"
Afterwards, the two of them landed directly on the mountain range, then looked for traces and came to a cave. They walked in, turned on the switch at a certain place, and went in one after another.
In the empty corridor, the dim light of the night pearl cast two shadows one behind the other, and the crisp footsteps echoed in the cave.
"Sect, Sect Master, why do I always feel like something is wrong here?" The elder's face slowly became solemn, and he kept looking at the surrounding environment.
He always felt that something was wrong with everything around him.
This place feels too shabby, as if it has been abandoned for a long time, and it is very empty and quiet, with an indescribable feeling of permeability.
Of course, they were foundation-building monks, so the change in the environment did not scare them away, but for some reason, he always felt that there was something indescribably weird here.
"...There is indeed something wrong." The sect leader pondered for a moment, released his spiritual sense, and went straight down to explore.
Logically speaking, it is offensive to so blatantly explore other people's caves, but the current situation is a bit weird, and the sect leader feels that it is better to find out the situation before proceeding.
"That mysterious true biography is fine, why does it live in such a weird place... huh?!"
As the sect leader was speaking, he seemed to sense something, and his expression suddenly changed.
Because in his spiritual perception, not only did the following situation not appear, but in his spiritual vision, a touch of dark red blood appeared!
"W-what's going on?!"
Before the sect leader had time to figure out what was going on, bursts of crying seemed to come from his ears!
"No, don't come over!"
"Let, let me go, please!"
"no no!"
At this moment, there seemed to be countless people roaring around him, and even more bizarre scenes rushed into his mind!
"Get out of here!"
With a deep cry, the power of the soul belonging to the foundation-building monk surged out, completely dispelling the strange phenomenon in front of him!
"Sect Master, what's wrong with you?!" After noticing the daily life of the sect leader Zhuang Yuanzhang, the elders on the side couldn't help but change their expressions slightly, and immediately became wary of their surroundings.
"Something's wrong here!" The sect leader's eyes became extremely fearful after he came back to his senses, "Many people have died here!!!"
The scene that just happened made him understand instantly. No wonder they always felt that something was wrong here.
That's because, ten people died here, and they died in a very tragic and painful way. The number may be in the tens of thousands!
Even in the mortal world, where thousands of people died and were killed in extremely cruel ways, some weird phenomena would occur, let alone this world of immortal cultivation with extraordinary abilities!
The sect leader estimates that there are at least tens of thousands of monks or other species here who died in an extremely tragic way. Their resentment, unwillingness, and curses, even after being dealt with, are still enough to affect the minds of others!
"How is this possible?!" The elder's pupils shrank when he heard this, "Let's not talk about why Qingyun Sect has such a place. Even if there is, why can the true successor stay here?"
The sect master thought for a moment and replied: "Two possibilities. Either the true successor discovered this place and wanted to use it to hone his mind, or..."
At this point, the sect leader was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Everything here is caused by him, and people who can do this will naturally not care about this trouble..."
As soon as these words came out, the venue fell into silence.
"Sect Master, how about we withdraw first?" After a while, the elder suggested.
"...Good." After a moment of silence, the sect leader nodded.
To be honest, killing someone is not a very special thing in the world of immortality, but it is a beheading, a killer carried out during a battle.
Judging from the bloody, cold, and malicious aura remaining underneath, the horror is no less terrifying than that of an old demon.
This... doesn't look like it was obtained by a simple beheading, does it?
"Exit first, and then..."
"Huh? You two don't know what you are doing here?"
"who?!"
At this time, a deep voice echoed in the corridor, startling the two of them.
The next moment, countless bloody flying ants suddenly flew out from the end of the aisle. They came in a swarm. At a glance, they looked like a mass of blood mist that was constantly squirming as they intertwined and danced!
In an instant, the blood mist came in front of the two of them, and then under constant changes, a humanoid figure actually appeared!
This is the blood ant clone developed by Lin Chen using the art of deriving from heaven, earth, earthworms, and flesh and blood!
The sect leader just watched helplessly as a group of blood ants formed the figure of a person, and then, a top-heavy spirit insect flew to the center of his eyebrows.
Not long after, the latter opened a pair of bloody eyes, and terrifying soul fluctuations emanated from them!
this……? !
Seeing the weird and horrifying scene in front of them, the two sect leaders shouted crazily in their hearts.
Are the Patriarchs really sure that the guy in front of them is their righteous disciple and one of their own? !
