Chapter 157: A Bigger Conspiracy
For the sake of their own interests, the other sects ignored this matter and even thought that Mo Jianming was just exaggerating to scare them. Even if his cultivation was strong, he couldn’t force open the secret realm. After all, the grand elders of the other sects were not to be trifled with.
“Elder Mo, you should return. We’ll guard this place. If anything strange happens in the secret realm, we’ll receive the news.”
Since things had come to this, Mo Jianming could not do anything else. He hoped that all his worries were unnecessary.
The others still didn’t know that it was because of their wrong decision that caused everyone to be trapped in the secret realm, and almost completely annihilated.
In the secret realm.
Dark clouds covered the sky, and the sky was gloomy. Black Qi filled every corner and continued to extend outwards. The originally peaceful scene suddenly became extremely gloomy and terrifying.
Those people who had suddenly disappeared had suddenly returned to their sects. Everyone was overjoyed.
“Senior Brother Li, Junior Sister Lin, where did you guys go earlier? We all thought that you guys had met with some mishap, but now that we see you guys are fine, we can finally relax.”
The Sunset Sect’s disciples were immersed in joy as they looked at the returning disciples. They didn’t realize that the returning disciples’ eyes had turned pitch black for a moment, but they returned to normal in the blink of an eye.
“We accidentally entered an underground palace and were trapped by the formation there. It wasn’t easy for us to escape, so we rushed back to tell everyone that there were many treasures there.”
The people from the Sunset Sect were overjoyed. One of them said, “This is a blessing in disguise.”
They followed returning disciples without any suspicion but they didn’t notice their slightly stiff limbs or their strange expressions.
A similar scene was not only happening in the Sunset Sect. The other sects were also experiencing the same thing.
The tone and mannerisms of these returning disciples seemed to be carved out of the same mold, full of unspeakable strangeness as they led everyone in the direction of the underground palace.
Ye Xuan happened to run into the Sunset Sect on his way. The few disciples leading them were the ones who had chased them before.
It was obvious that the people behind the returning disciples did not know what was going on.
“Stop!”
Looking at the sudden appearance of Ye Xuan and the Tai Qing sect, the people from the Sunset Sect were a little vigilant. Could it be that they had also discovered the treasure in the underground palace?
“They’re not human at all.”
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the Sunset Sect looked at each other in confusion. Frowning, they asked, “What’s the meaning of this?”
Zhou Jun’s expression turned cold. He said, “We’re minding our own business. Now that we have something important to do, you guys better get out of our way.”
After all, they had been defeated by the Tai Qing Sect previously. The people of the Sunset Sect were somewhat dissatisfied and now they were slightly hostile.
“Believe me, they really aren’t humans. They’re monsters.”
The people of the Tai Qing Sect desperately wanted to explain, but the people of the Sunset Sect were full of suspicion.
“What nonsense are you spouting? How can they be monsters? You guys don’t even know who you are trying to sow discord with. Do they really think we are so easy to fool?”
“If you don’t move, then don’t blame us for being impolite.”
Seeing that the people from the Sunset Sect didn’t believe them at all, Ye Xuan didn’t say much. A cold light flashed in his hand.
Zhou Jun’s eyes were filled with killing intent. He warned, “What do you want? Ye Xuan, I’m warning you, our Sunset Sect is not to be trifled with!”
He wanted to stop Ye Xuan, but it was too late. The cold light was like a sword, and it pierced through the hearts of those people.
A few of them fell to the ground just like that, their bright red blood flowing all over the ground.
Ye Xuan’s expression was cold, and he even sneered, “You’re quite good at pretending.”
Seeing that he didn’t feel any guilt and even said such words, the anger of the Sunset Sect reached its peak.
“Senior Brother Li! Junior Sister Lin!”
The people from the Sunset Sect cried out in grief. They looked at Ye Xuan with red eyes and gritted their teeth. One of them cried out, “You actually killed them! I’ll make you pay with your blood!”
With that, they all took out their swords or magic weapons, wishing they could cut Ye Xuan into pieces.
The people from the Sunset Sect were immersed in hatred and anger, so they didn’t notice that there seemed to be something slowly wriggling in the blood.
Ye Xuan attacked again. Everyone was amazed by his speed, but they found that Ye Xuan didn’t attack them, but behind them.
At the same time, Ye Xuan’s solemn voice warned them.
“You’d better turn around and take a look.”
The people from the Sunset Sect turned around and were instantly dumbfounded. There were no longer any shadows of those people on the ground. Even the blood had disappeared.
At this moment, they were surrounded by black Qi and entangled with Ye Xuan. Their eyes were as dark as ink and looked inexplicably creepy. This was obviously not normal.
The people from the Sunset Sect were completely dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on.
Those disciples’ level could only be considered average, but now they had advanced by leaps and bounds. Looking at their fierce attacks, they were probably at the sky rank, which was really beyond their imagination.
Seeing these people besieging Ye Xuan, the people from the Tai Qing Sect also hurriedly joined in the battle to help, but the Sunset Sect next to them was somewhat at a loss.
As they attacked the Tai Qing Sect, these disciples were obviously abnormal. However, if they attacked the Sunset Sect, they were their senior brothers and junior sisters who they had been with all day long, so the Sunset Sect could not bear to attack them.
Even though the returning disciples of the Sunset Sect were hit in their vital parts, they were fine. Even if their heads were cut off, they quickly recovered.
Even if they were immortal, the Tai Qing Sect had an advantage in numbers and was at a disadvantage.
Seeing this situation, a few people burst out in screams.
“Roar!”
Ye Xuan’s expression changed. He said, “Hurry up and leave, or those ghostly things are coming.”
It was more than enough to deal with these few, but to deal with a group, it was probably not enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.
He looked at the Sunset Sect, who was still unaware of the truth.
“What are you guys waiting for? Do you want to wait to die?”
