From the death of the Hollow Insect to its disappearance and then to the Wild World Diagram collecting the falling filaments, it only took a few breaths, but it gave people an indescribable shock.
While more people were still immersed in confusion, the three Mahayana monks had joined forces to sweep the entire desert, including the airspace above, with their spiritual consciousness. Qian Xiaocai and Yu Xian also searched for the secret treasure, but found nothing. .
In the end, they could only put the matter aside for the time being and deal with the distribution of the spoils first.
The so-called trophies refer to those filaments. Although I don’t know why the filaments didn’t disappear along with the cave worms, but with this thing, everyone’s hard work will not be in vain.
Qian Xiaocai, as the party who provided the map of Huangjie, collected half of the filaments on behalf of Niya Palace. The other half is divided into two parts, one large and one small. The larger part is divided equally between the Taichu Guanwufeng Sword Sect and the Dirong Clan, because these three parties have Mahayana monks participating; the smaller part is distributed to other sects according to the amount of contribution. Each sect can get one to three.
Just after the distribution, everyone made a new discovery. These filaments cannot be stored in ordinary storage utensils, and must be stored in extremely high-quality storage utensils.
Knowing this, the eyes of the three Mahayana monks met in the air, and they could not hide the shock and deep thought in their eyes.
With such fine threads, the body of the Hollow Worm may not be contained at all. This shows that the person who took action in secret actually disappeared without a sound while carrying such a huge object.
However, before the three of them could speak to discuss, there was a sudden rumble in the distance.
The sound was already too weak to be heard when it reached this place, but it was still noticed by many powerful people present.
Everyone immediately rushed to the direction where the noise came from. Because the lingering fear left by the Hollow Worm was not clear, no one used teleportation.
On the edge of the desert, an extremely deep and wide pit appeared at some point.
The edge of the huge pit is constantly collapsing, and thousands of hectares of yellow sand pour into the bottom of the pit like a waterfall, but it cannot fill the bottomless abyss.
When people arrived, the turbulent and pouring quicksand had formed a huge whirlpool, with endless rumbling and muffled sounds, as if it was about to sweep away and engulf everything around it.
Outside the scope of the whirlpool, not far away, two bodies were half-buried in the yellow sand, covered in blood.
…
Not long ago, the screams emitted by the Hollow Worm when it was about to die spread across the desert and also reached the Kunhuang Sect's forbidden area hidden deep underground.
The energy in the scream was like one heavy hammer after another, hitting the already damaged underground space hard.
Hua Chunning made a prompt decision and put all the items that could be taken away in the forbidden area into the storage ring, then put on the best quality robes in the forbidden area collection for herself and Min Xuan, and inspired several high-level magic weapons that were also in the collection. He also tore several precious talismans into pieces and set up heavy defenses.
When the screams disappeared, the entire forbidden area was already crumbling and on the verge of collapse.
Thick cracks spread across the area, and even though the Blue Lotus tried its best to repair it, it was ultimately beyond its power and could only delay the collapse of the forbidden area.
During this period, Hua Chunning and Min Xuan tried their best to make all preparations.
As Hua Chunning had expected, due to the damage caused by external forces, the destruction mechanism of the forbidden area was finally triggered. It was originally a means to die with the enemy when the forbidden area was invaded by foreign enemies, but now it became a talisman for the two of them.
The moment the forbidden area completely collapsed, the huge space exploded. At the critical moment, the two quickly fled to the ground.
Under the terrifying energy impact, the layers of protection constructed by the talisman only lasted for two breaths before they were completely shattered. Even though the magic weapon was powerful, it was unable to show off its power due to the limitations of the two people's cultivation. It bought them three breaths and then the light dimmed. The runes on the robe appear, absorbing and converting part of the destructive energy into a spiritual shield.
The two of them swallowed several pills in succession, increasing their speed to the limit.
Finally, the cassock could no longer hold up, and the energy penetrated the runes and directly bombarded the two of them.
Fortunately, they would reach the ground at this time, far away from the center of the explosion. Although they were blown away far away and suffered serious injuries, their lives were saved in the end.
When her consciousness was blurred, Hua Chunning vaguely sensed many powerful auras appearing around her.
She was startled, forced herself to wake up, took the healing elixir, and managed to turn over and sit up. Then she lifted the unconscious Min Xuan's upper body up against her, and raised her head to look around while sending spiritual power to him.
At this sight, her face immediately changed color.
Nascent Soul, Divine Transformation, Return to Void... Even many monks whose specific cultivation levels she couldn't tell at all were looking down at the two of them.
Among the unfamiliar faces, only a few were recognized by her.
Hua Chunning took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress the turmoil in her heart, and spoke calmly:
"Kunhuang Sect disciple Hua Chunning and Taoist companion Min Xuan have met all the seniors. Please forgive me for being injured and unable to get up to greet you."
"The Sword Comes"
As soon as the words "Kunhuang Sect disciple" were spoken, it was like a stone thrown into the lake, causing ripples in the world.
Yu Xian, Qian Xiaocai and Venerable Yuang met their eyes and made a decision instantly.
Yu Xian came forward and asked:
"Why are you two here?"
Hua Chunning lowered her eyes and asked instead, "Senior, how is the current situation of our sect?"
Just as Yu Xian opened his mouth, someone suddenly shouted harshly:
"Bold! In front of Senior Sister Taichu Guanyu, you can answer whatever is asked. How can I allow you to talk too much and be presumptuous!"
"..."
Yu Xian's mouth twitched slightly and he looked sideways at the speaker.
That man was an elder from the Nanming sect. He spoke righteously and righteously, but there was a dark glint in his eyes.
Wu Yaochen glanced at him and sent a message to Wu Shao: "The Nanming sect and the Kunhuang sect are fighting over who is superior in the Flame Bird Demon Breaking Technique and the Qinglian Xiaoyan Jue. The two sects have had deep grudges for many years. It seems that the Nanming faction has no evil intentions today."
Wu Shao looked calm and said, "We can't help him."
Wu Yaochen chuckled, "Yes, he will be disappointed in the end."
His eyes passed over Venerable Yu'ang with a thoughtful look on his face, and then turned to Qian Xiaocai.
Qian Xiaocai was looking at Hua Chunning, his fingers moving the abacus unconsciously, with an interesting smile at the corner of his mouth.
He had a thought in his mind.
"Why don't we also form a good relationship, and there will be no loss anyway."
Wu Shao's expression did not change and he said calmly: "Let's see and then talk."
Naxiang Hua Chunning was reprimanded, but there was no trace of fear on her face. She didn't even look at the Nanming sect elder. She just looked at Yu Xian firmly and asked again:
"Senior Yu, please tell me how the Kunhuang Sect is doing now? Are any of my fellow disciples still alive?"
The elder of the Nanming sect looked angry and was about to explode. Yu Xian waved his hand at him and said, "Fellow Daoist, please be patient. This trivial matter is not worth getting angry at."
After saying this, she didn't give the other party time to react, and said directly to Hua Chunning:
"The Kunhuang Sect's mountain gate collapsed, and its leader and the Chu Cang Beast Emperor were both executed. Except for you and me, no one in the entire sect survived."
The few words he spoke were like thunder striking down, Hua Chunning's body shook violently, and her face instantly turned pale.
She lowered her head, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably, but soon, she suppressed all her emotions and regained her composure.
Hua Chunning raised her head again, and calmly and clearly told the story from beginning to end about how she discovered that the leader was colluding with the monsters, how she was imprisoned in the forbidden area for trying to inform, and what happened in the forbidden area.
She never thought of making up lies, let alone concealing the existence of the forbidden area. There are so many powerful monks present, and they have too many ways to distinguish between authenticity and fakeness. Although the forbidden area has been destroyed, there are still ways to find out that a large number of jade slips and treasures were once stored in it.
During the narration, Min Xuan woke up faintly. When she saw many people surrounding them, regardless of the difference in cultivation level and number of people, she subconsciously made an attack gesture, but Hua Chunning stopped her in time.
After finishing their love words, Hua Chunning suddenly pulled Min Xuan and knelt down together. She straightened her back, held her head high, and spoke to the ground like the sound of gold and stone vibrating:
"It is an unforgivable crime for the leader to collude with monsters and beasts to betray the human race. However, since the establishment of our sect, we have killed countless monsters and protected the peace of the country. Under the thousands of miles of yellow sand, the heroic bones of our ancestors are buried everywhere. This sect has been buried for many generations. All the achievements have been destroyed by one person, and the younger generation has no face to ask for help. However, as a disciple of our sect, the younger generation has received the great kindness of being raised and cultivated by the sect, and cannot bear to abandon it. I only hope that the seniors will allow the younger generation to pass on the name of the sect and continue the sect. Dao Tong. In order to obtain this promise, I am willing to do small acts of kindness from now on, help the common people, do my best in my life, and pay for the sins of my family."
