City square.
When Lu Nanzhi revealed his demonic aura and trapped all the disciples of the family, the atmosphere in the square immediately became uneasy.
On the upper floor where the Golden Core cultivator was located, the center of the icicle was obscured by something unknown. He could not see the situation clearly. He could only see countless puppets rushing out from the covered place to obstruct those approaching.
"There really are demon cultivators! Are they from the Lu family?"
"Something is going to happen, something big is definitely going to happen. Let's leave quickly!"
Those who cherished their lives fled in all directions, and the square was in chaos.
People from the aristocratic family and sect were also in disbelief, and Elder Lu immediately defended himself.
"Lu Nanzhi is a disciple of the Tianyan Sect. This matter must be a conspiracy of the Tianyan Sect!"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes were directed towards where the Nascent Soul Lords of Tianyan Sect were. Li Jiuchuan and Zhao Fuyi were not there. As Lu Nanzhi's master, Ling Guanghan stood up without fear.
"Lu Nanzhi is a member of the Lu clan and a disciple of me, Ling Guanghan. There must be something hidden in this matter. We haven't found out yet. Please...be careful! What do you say!"
The last two words were squeezed out from between Ling Guanghan's teeth with the cold and sharp sword intent, full of intimidation.
Ling Guanghan is ranked third in the Nascent Soul Battle Ranking, and he has a cold, arrogant and unsociable temperament. He has always been very hands-on when dealing with others, but never talks.
Kong Huaizheng, the head of the Kong clan, shouted, "It's not the time to raise an army to investigate the crime yet, you should still worry about the disciples of each family! Go and inform the Fang clan chief to activate the city defense formation just in case."
The head of the Fang clan has not come to the square today. He is still in the Fang clan city, saying that he wants to see an old friend.
A Nascent Soul elder of the Fang clan worried: "Too much earth vein spiritual energy has been consumed to maintain the secret realm. If the city protection formation is opened again, the protective formations in the Kong and Fang clans may become ineffective!"
Kong Huaizheng looked upright and asked Elder Fang in a cold voice, "Are the lives of people in this city not important?"
In front of everyone, the elder of the Fang clan did not dare to say that the lives of the Fang clan were more valuable than others, so he could only resign and go to find the leader of the Fang clan.
Kong Huaizheng had already forcefully activated one of the central stone talismans that controlled the Boundary Breaking Pearl when Lu Nazhi showed his demonic aura, trying to pull out all the people inside.
But he was horrified to find that the connection between the stone talisman and the Boundary Breaking Pearl was blocked. Unless the person inside crushed the Boundary Breaking Pearl or was eliminated normally, he could not pull the person out.
Obviously, all this was planned!
Kong Huaizheng's thoughts were racing, and he did not dare to speak out for fear of causing a disturbance. He quickly thought about the causes and consequences, and how to deal with it.
Not long after, everyone saw from the mirage that something happened to Fang Mingyi. The elders and monks of the Fang family glared at the Lu family with anger.
Everyone in the Lu family was panic-stricken and their hearts beat like drums.
"Why wasn't Fang Mingyi teleported out?"
Only then did everyone realize that Fang Mingyi in the mirage had disappeared, but did not appear in the square.
Click!
Among the three stone pillars in the center of the square, the one with the demon totem on the top suddenly cracked.
The cracking sound was like a thunder that shook everyone's heart, causing their scalps to go numb and cold sweats to break out.
"No, someone wants to destroy the secret realm!"
In the center of the stone pillar, the whirlpool of water shimmered and shrank, showing signs of collapsing and closing.
The situation became more and more critical. Kong Huaizheng ignored everything else and appeared under the stone pillar. He mobilized his spiritual energy to stabilize the entrance and exit of the secret realm and prevent the stone pillar from further cracking.
Ling Guanghan and other Nascent Souls from various major sects also rushed over to assist Kong Huaizheng.
Maintaining the entire secret realm consumes a lot of money. Each time the secret realm is opened, more than 60% of the spiritual energy in the ground veins underground in Kong Fang City is consumed.
"If you still want to save your own disciples, come and help. We must not let the secret realm collapse!"
In the Xuanming battlefield, not only were there people under the central icicle at this time, there were also quite a few disciples from aristocratic families and sects who had been attacked by the ice demon before and were scattered throughout the Xuanming battlefield.
There are some on the lower level and some on the upper level.
All the Nascent Soul Lords present could no longer care about their grievances and grudges. They appeared around the stone pillar one after another for their own disciples and for the descendants of all races. They pressed their palms on the stone pillar and tried their best.
The monks in the city who had not left looked at the scene in front of them, frightened, frightened, and at a loss.
I saw a sudden change in the mirage, and the five-color thunder suddenly burst into light, swallowing up the heaven and earth, and taking away everyone's sight.
However, the people inside disappeared and still did not appear outside.
The Nascent Soul Lords of the aristocratic family looked at each other with their hearts beating like drums.
Those who can be left to the end are the elites of each family. Not to mention the resources consumed in training, such a good seedling cannot be obtained just by wanting it.
If it is damaged like this, it will be a heavy loss for everyone.
Kong Huaizheng said quickly, "Don't worry, as long as the stone pillars don't collapse, even if the secret realm is broken, they will only be trapped for a moment and a half, and they can come out when the secret realm recovers on its own."
As soon as he finished speaking, all Yuanying increased their spiritual energy output again to forcefully prevent the stone pillar from collapsing.
The monks in the city looked anxiously at the secret realm of the mirage, seeing some of the sect disciples fighting under the icicles, and seeing Jiang Yuebai suddenly poisoning everyone.
Just when everyone was confused, the sect disciples teleported out smoothly and fell outside the stone pillar one after another.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Amidst the bursts of violent coughing, the stone pillar representing the human race emitted rays of light and injected them into each person's body, driving away the poison they had received and repairing most of their injuries.
In the mirage, the entire Xuanming battlefield collapsed and fell into pieces as icicles collapsed, and strong winds blew.
The secret realm collapsed into isolated islands with nowhere to rely on, floating in the dark void, and fragmented into fragments of the original law from the edges.
Several more figures fell outside the stone pillars. They were the golden elixir monks on the upper level of the hunting ground. They were all monks from the sect and no one from aristocratic families.
There were also two masked female casual cultivators who immediately ran away in different directions as soon as they came out. They were so fast that no one could react in time. Not even the formations in the square were able to stop them.
"The disciples of the sect can come out smoothly, but all the disciples of the aristocratic family are missing. This is a conspiracy against the aristocratic family!"
The Nascent Soul of a noble family shouted angrily, but the rubble on the stone pillar collapsed and the fragmentation speed became faster and faster. They hurriedly concentrated on it.
The fragmentation speed of the stone pillars was greatly slowed down, and some places slowly began to recover.
The Nascent Souls calmed down a little, and gradually discovered something unusual. They felt that the people behind it did not really want to destroy the secret realm.
Several people realized something was wrong and withdrew their hands, but a frightening clicking sound was immediately heard from the stone pillar, a third of it was about to break!
At the critical moment, Zhao Fuyi came out of the air, ripped off the cloth belt from his sleeves and threw it away.
The talisman on the cloth shone brightly and formed a chain. It was quickly wrapped around the entire stone pillar and tightened tightly to prevent the stone pillar from collapsing. The majestic spiritual energy was injected into it, and the stone pillar slowly recovered again.
"Jiuchuan has gone to look for the missing disciples, please stay focused!" Zhao Fuyi shouted in a deep voice.
Kong Huaizheng also said, "I have informed my brother that he will be able to handle everything. At present, only by working together can we overcome the difficulties."
All the Nascent Souls looked at each other and left the solid stone pillars helplessly.
Outside the stone pillar, Xie Jingshan looked with wide eyes at the direction where the female Jindan cultivator disappeared just now. His nose moved slightly and he smelled a familiar smell.
That's...his mother?
"Senior Brother Zhuo, where are Senior Sister Hua? And where are Senior Sister Xu and Junior Brother Xu?"
Zhao Kunling, who had been eliminated early, rushed to Zhuo Qingfeng from the crowd and was so nervous that he almost cried.
Zhuo Qingfeng stood up and quickly searched his surroundings. He did not see Hua Ying, Xu Qianjin and Xu Qiancheng.
The Xu family's siblings were separated from them early in the morning, while Hua Yingshi was not together because of the formation.
Zhuo Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat when he thought that they might still be in the secret realm.
"Senior Sister Tang, it seems that the senior brother is still inside!"
He Wangchen grabbed Tang Weimian nervously, but could not find their Jindan senior brother Li Shenzhi.
"Senior brother? Junior sister!"
"Senior Brother Hui En didn't come out either!"
There was chaos in the square, and all the last people to come out were trying their best to find their lost comrades.
"Where's Jiang Yuebai? Have you seen Jiang Yuebai?"
Zhuo Qingfeng ran to Xie Jingshan and asked nervously. Only then did Xie Jingshan come back to his senses and his heart sank.
"She seems to be in there too! Lu Nanzhi didn't come out either!"
