Donghuang!
Piaomiao Sect!
Hospitality hall!
Yan Kexian, the master of Guixu Hall, Zou Mian, the master of Yuanlong Hall, and Yu Xi of Taihua Hall, are already waiting here...
There are five halls in Piaomiao Sect.
They are Juexian, Guixu, Yuanlong, Taihua, and Nirvana.
The master of the Nirvana Palace is Xiao Nuo;
Later, Xiao Nuo went to the Holy Land of Xianqiong, and the Nirvana Hall was managed by Ying Jinhuan.
As for the Juexian Palace, after the war between the "Tiangang Sword Sect" and the "Piaomiao Sect", it was taken over by the elders of the sect, and it is still in a relatively stable state.
In front of them stood a middle-aged man about forty years old.
The man's name is Ye Cheng, and he is a senior elder of the Huangji Sect.
"The sect master is here..." At this time, Yu Xi from Taihua Palace said.
Everyone looked towards the door.
Sect leader Han Changqing walked in anxiously.
The third elder followed behind.
Ye Cheng immediately greeted him: "Sect Master Han..."
Han Changqing looked directly at Ye Cheng: "Elder Ye, you said that Huangji Sect is also facing the same problem as Piaomiao Sect. Do you know what Piaomiao Sect has encountered?"
Han Changqing went straight to the point without any polite words.
Ye Cheng nodded solemnly: "If I guessed correctly, your Piaomiao Sect's spiritual veins have also dried up, right?"
Hearing this, Han Changqing's expression suddenly changed.
Mr. Yan Ke, Zou Mian and other senior officials of Piaomiao Sect were also frightened.
Only a very few people know about this matter.
It is impossible for other sects to know.
Han Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly: "So, your Emperor Ji Sect is also like this?"
"Yeah!" Ye Cheng affirmed: "It's not just us, in fact, the entire Donghuang... is the same..."
"What?"
The faces of several palace masters suddenly turned pale.
Han Changqing and the third elder also had incredible expressions on their faces.
Ye Cheng said: "Since some time ago, the spiritual energy in the entire Eastern Wasteland has begun to become thinner. I'm afraid you still don't know that several demonic forces such as Huangquan Sect, Black Witch Cult, Demon Xing Sect, etc. have begun to interact with each other. They are killing each other and seizing resources... and wars are also breaking out in several other dynasties and empires in the states..."
Han Changqing was stunned.
He really doesn't know.
After all, during this period of time, just the Piao Miao Sect's own affairs have made him very anxious, and he has no time to pay attention to other people's affairs.
"What about the four major forces, Qi Yan Palace, Tian Gu Sect, Zhan Martial Alliance, and Yu Hai?" the third elder asked.
Ye Cheng said solemnly: "They are relatively stable now, but if they don't solve the problem, trouble will happen sooner or later..."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall became very solemn.
Several people always thought that this was just a problem of the Piaomiao Sect family.
But I never expected that it would be the situation in the entire Eastern Wasteland.
"Then what is the reason for all this?" Han Changqing asked.
Ye Cheng replied: "This is also the purpose of why I came to see you today. We have discovered the source of the problem..."
"oh?"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Yan Ke couldn't help but asked: "Doesn't that mean the problem can be solved?"
Ye Cheng raised his hand: "If it were that simple, that would be great..."
Everyone in the Piaomiao Sect was nervous.
My mind, which had been slightly relaxed just now, immediately became tense again.
Ye Cheng continued: "Because the source of the problem is very strange, we sent many sect masters to investigate, but they found no solution, so the sect leader decided to unite the six sects to discuss and solve it..."
Han Changqing and the three elders looked at each other and then nodded.
Without much hesitation, Han Changqing said: "Without further delay, I will go to Huangji Sect immediately!"
After all, it is the leader of the Eastern Wasteland, and the Huangji Sect's trust level is still very high.
Ye Cheng said: "Go directly to the source of the problem. The leader of our sect has already set off, and the other four sects should also be on the way..."
Han Changqing nodded: "Okay!"
The third elder turned sideways and said to the three palace masters Yan Kexian, Yu Xi, and Zou Mian: "Bring more people with you and accompany the sect master!"
Han Changqing said: "If they all go and the sect is empty, there will be trouble if there are enemies."
Ye Cheng just said that chaos has begun in some areas of the Eastern Wasteland.
If someone targets the Piaomiao Sect, the consequences will be disastrous.
The third elder waved his hand: "In any case, you are the leader of a sect, and your safety comes first. As for the task of guarding the sect, leave it to that girl Ying Jinhuan, and Elder Xiu and the others! "
"Is this okay?"
"Don't worry, that girl Ying Jinhuan has grown very fast during this period. She has already broken through to the master level. As long as she is here, it won't be a big problem!"
"Really? Then I can rest assured."
Han Changqing immediately said no more and immediately ordered the three palace masters Yan Kexian, Yu Xi, and Zou Mian to select some helpers, and then left the sect with Ye Cheng.
…
Everyone travels very quickly.
On the way, Han Changqing also asked Ye Cheng some more things.
"Elder Ye, where is the source of the problem?"
"Black Worm Mountain Range!" Ye Cheng replied.
"Black Worm Mountain Range?" Yan Ke, the master of Yuanlong Palace, was stunned for a moment.
Several people looked at each other in confusion.
"What?" Ye Cheng asked.
Yan Ke first said subconsciously: "Isn't that near the 'Xiao Family'?"
Xiao family?
Ye Cheng was startled, and he squinted his eyes and asked, "Could it be the Xiao family where Master Xiao Nuo grew up?"
"Yes!" Yan Ke nodded solemnly: "That's the Xiao family. Although that family is gone, I have been there before, and the Black Worm Mountain Range is near the Xiao family."
Hearing this, Han Changqing and others fell silent.
Is it a coincidence that the source of the problem appears near the Xiao family?
…
After a few hours,
Han Changqing and several palace masters arrived at the Black Worm Mountains under the leadership of Elder Ye Cheng.
Just at the edge of the mountain range, Han Changqing and others saw a huge crack in the ground.
That crack almost spanned the entire Black Worm Mountain Range.
At a glance, you can't see the end at all.
The most bizarre thing is that there is a mysterious black smoke filling the inside of the crack in the earth.
There was no grass growing near the black smoke, and the corpses of animals and monsters were everywhere.
"How weird!" Han Changqing couldn't help but narrowed the corners of his eyes.
Ye Cheng next to him said: "This crack in the earth appeared three days ago... It took us a lot of time to find that all the spiritual energy of Donghuang was absorbed here..."
Hearing this, Han Changqing's expression became even more solemn.
After a while,
Everyone came to a beacon tower.
The beacon tower was obviously built not long ago.
There are almost a dozen.
Every beacon tower is guarded by disciples of the Huangji Sect.
They are paying attention to the changes in the Blackworm Mountains all the time.
"Sir, Master Han Changqing of the Piaomiao Sect has arrived..."
After boarding the beacon tower, Ye Cheng walked straight towards a man in gorgeous robes and a white jade crown.
Han Changqing looked at the other party.
The man was burly, about forty to fifty years old, with a square face, a wide mouth, long eyes and sharp eyebrows, and a beard. The whole person looked as domineering as a mountain tiger.
This person is none other than the leader of Huangji Sect, Nangong Pinghe!
Although they are both the masters of the same sect, the aura exuded by Nangong Pinghe is much stronger than that of Han Changqing.
"Sect Master Han, I'm tired!" Nangong Pinghe said.
Han Changqing shook his head slightly: "Master Nangong's words are serious. I wonder what is happening underground?"
Nangong Pinghe raised his big hand slightly and said, "Let's wait until everyone arrives!"
The words just finished here,
Three more teams boarded the beacon tower almost at the same time.
Everyone looked sideways.
The three leaders came over immediately.
"Master Nangong!"
"Sect Master Han!"
The three of them raised their hands and clasped their fists.
At Nangong Pinghe, Han Changqing immediately went up to greet him.
"You three, long time no see!"
The three people are:
The master of Qiyan Palace, Xu Qinghui!
The leader of the Zhanwu Alliance, Li Wuwei!
And the Lord of Yuhai, Suru!
Of the six major sects in the Eastern Wasteland, the remaining Tian Gu sect has not yet come.
It is not difficult to see that the expressions of these three people are also very serious.
Obviously, all the sect forces in the Eastern Wasteland have encountered the same trouble.
"Master Nangong, what happened? Why has Donghuang's spiritual energy become so thin?"
Suru, the Lord of Yuhai, asked.
Suru wears a plain robe and has a pair of slender red phoenix eyes. She is about the same age as Nangong Pinghe.
Nangong Pinghe led everyone to the edge of the beacon tower, pointed to the crack in the ground that ran through the entire mountain range in front of him and said: "The problem lies there..."
Everyone looked over.
"It's the thing below that has absorbed Donghuang's spiritual power..." Nangong Pinghe said while looking at Han Changqing: "You, the Piaomiao Sect, should be the first to discover the problem, right?"
Han Changqing did not deny it.
He replied: "Since many years ago, the underground spiritual veins of the Piaomiao Sect have been gradually drying up... But we always thought it was our fault, so we never revealed it to the outside world, but we didn't expect that something went wrong in the entire Eastern Wasteland. !”
Han Changqing never imagined that other sects would encounter the same crisis.
Therefore, he has been thinking of ways to relocate the Piaomiao Sect over the years.
Nangong Pinghe nodded and said: "Because the Black Insect Mountain Range is the closest to the Piaomiao Sect and other sects are relatively far away, so the other sects noticed it later... However, in recent times, the spiritual energy of Donghuang has been lost. Very fast, we tracked all the way and finally found this place..."
"What's down there?" Li Wuwei, leader of the Zhanwu Alliance asked.
Nangong Pinghe shook his head: "I sent many people to investigate, but found nothing, so I called everyone together to discuss countermeasures!"
Several sect leaders looked at each other, and their doubts became even more intense.
"The people from Tiangu Sect haven't come yet..." Suru said.
"Do you want to wait for them?" Li Wuwei asked.
Han Changqing said: "It won't be too late, I don't think there's any need to wait!"
There is no doubt that Han Changqing is the most anxious one.
As Nangong Pinghe said, this place is the closest to the Piaomiao Sect, so the depletion of spiritual veins is the most serious.
If you wait one more day, it will be serious.
Nangong Pinghe looked at the other three people: "What do you think?"
Suru replied: "Are the Tiangu sect sure to come? If they are sure to come, then just wait until they arrive! After all, they are also a part of Donghuang..."
Li Wuwei said: "How long do we have to wait? What if they delay it until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? We don't even know what that thing is down there."
Xu Qinghui, the master of Qi Yan Palace, also echoed: "What you said makes sense, so Nangong Sect Master makes the decision!"
After all, Huangji Sect is the leader of the Eastern Wasteland, and Nangong Pinghe definitely has the most say.
Nangong Pinghe nodded: "Then wait another half an hour. If the people from Tiangu Sect haven't come yet, I will make the next plan!"
"OK!"
"I have no opinion!"
"..."
After a brief negotiation, the leaders of the Donghuang Sect reached a consensus.
While waiting, Han Changqing and several palace masters also came to the edge of the crack in the earth for observation.
There were cracks in the earth, and a strange black gas was coming out.
It traverses the landscape, ridges, plains, and even forests.
The width of the crack is about two meters. Just standing on the edge and looking at it can make people feel suffocated.
"It's really strange. How could something like this appear in Donghuang?" Yan Ke said with a frown.
Zou Mian, who was standing next to him, shook his head: "I don't know, I want to go down and have a look now."
"Don't be impulsive... Even Huangji Sect has not detected the problem, let's not act rashly..."
Before he could finish his words, suddenly, the ground shook violently...
"Boom!"
The movement immediately alerted others.
Standing on the beacon tower in Nangong Pinghe, Xu Qinghui, Li Wuwei, Suru and others were all looking this way.
"What's going on?" Nangong Pinghe asked.
Han Changqing looked confused: "I don't know, we didn't get close to the crack in the earth at all."
As soon as he finished speaking, the earth shook even more violently.
Huge boulders rose up from the ground one after another, the mountains in the distance collapsed, and large tracts of forest were cut in half...
Everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they all flew to high places.
However, standing at a high place, an even more terrifying scene appeared in front of everyone's sight.
I saw that the crack in the earth was continuing to expand.
In the Black Worm Mountains, landslides and ground cracks occurred, dark clouds covered the sky, and thick black air surged up from the cracks in the earth.
Everyone was shocked.
Including Nangong Pinghe, the leader of the Huangji Sect, also frowned and looked shocked.
"This is?"
The Huangji Sect disciples who guarded various places in the Black Insect Mountain Range were terrified.
"No, that thing from the ground is coming out!"
"Quick, hurry up and inform the sect leader."
"..."
"boom!"
A shocking loud noise exploded between the sky and the earth, and a spectacular black beam of light erupted from the depths of the Black Worm Mountains.
The beam of light crashed into the sky, causing an even more violent energy riot.
Immediately, the wind swirled around the clouds, and the air currents swirled violently. Under the gaze of Nangong Pinghe, Han Changqing, Li Wuwei and other East Wasteland leaders, the earth quickly sank downwards...
"Quickly retreat!" Ye Cheng, the elder of Huangji Sect, exclaimed loudly.
The disciples of the Huangji Sect stepped back one after another.
Nangong Pinghe, Han Changqing and the others also moved back.
The collapse of the earth's strata, one after another, terrifying faults are all over the Black Worm Mountains...
The beacon towers built by the Huangji Sect collapsed one after another.
In just the blink of an eye, a huge sinkhole appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
That sinkhole was very shocking.
Its diameter exceeds 10,000 meters.
Rocks large and small tumbled down.
However, inside that pit, there was actually a huge giant egg.
That giant egg is at least several kilometers wide, and its height is difficult to measure because at least two-thirds of it is still buried underground...
The dome is filled with black runes. Each rune looks like a burning flame and looks like an intertwined dark flame dragon.
Secret and domineering!
"What is that?" Suru, the Lord of Yuhai, exclaimed.
Everyone shook their heads.
Even Nangong Pinghe's expression was extremely solemn: "Is it absorbing Donghuang's spiritual energy?"
nervous! nervous!
Everyone's heart was in their throats.
Was Donghuang's spiritual energy absorbed by this thing in front of him?
Just when everyone was hesitant to step forward to check, an even more disturbing scene happened...
"Crack!"
A crack suddenly appeared on the dome.
Everyone's minds suddenly tightened.
"Crack!"
The cracks are growing.
And each one is longer than the other, and each one is deeper than the other.
Nangong Pinghe said immediately: "Be prepared to fight, and be prepared to evacuate at any time..."
The words just fell...
There was only a "boom" sound, and countless black lights sprayed out from the dome. The next second, black flames were like an exploding storm, sweeping the sky and the earth...
"retreat!"
Nangong Pinghe Road.
Han Changqing, Suru, Li Wuwei and others dispersed without any hesitation.
The black flame storm swept across all directions, covering everything with scorched earth.
In the next second, the dome burst open, and then, a huge fireball rushed into the sky. Suddenly, the sky and the earth suddenly darkened, the wind and clouds turned pale, and the entire Eastern Wasteland was shaking...
"Bah!"
A heat wave hit the sky, and a pair of giant black wings spread out. The day immediately turned into night, and in the void, a "Dark Sky Phoenix" exuding a terrifying aura suddenly appeared in the world...
