C309 Ghost City
After Qiu Huazhen heard this, he did not dare hide anything and hurriedly said, "Ever since the change occurred in Immortal Dao Mountain, when the Blue Lizard that disguised itself as Sect Master was exposed, the entire Immortal Dao Mountain had turned into a wasteland.
And in the end, in order to cover us retreating, in order to protect the entire sect's foundation for ten thousand years, the Senior Brother actually chose to self-destruct and die with the Blue Lizard, despite risking his own life. "
"What, Junior Brother Han exploded his own Dao Fruit!" Following Qiu Huazhen's words, it immediately exploded like a bolt of lightning in the minds of the five at the same time. The three elders asked in unison, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"Senior Brother Han, why did he choose this dead end? Was there no other way then? If he left, what would Junior Sister Su do?" Miao Meng Lan asked with pain in her eyes. It was obvious from her words that she knew about the relationship between Su Yanxue and Su Yanxue.
Lei Yang's eyes lost their light as well, revealing a look of deep sorrow. After arriving at the Danyun Peak, although Elder Han Zhentie did not personally come out to help him, he could still feel his kindness.
Who would have thought that such a kind-hearted person would actually leave just like that? Only now did he remember why Meng Zong, the Great Senior Brother, was in such pain when he returned, locking himself inside his cave, unwilling to see anyone.
The crowd went silent for a moment, as if they were looking for a moment of grief for their leader. Then, Zhang Hanyue said with a pained expression: "ZhanTie, he has chosen his mission of protecting the sect. He is doing well, I was not wrong about him at the time!
"Then what was the result?"
"In the end, the blue lizard escaped after being heavily injured by the explosion of Han Zhentie's Dao Fruit, while Senior Sister Su Yanxue went insane at that time.
"Qiu Huazhen spoke with difficulty, as if he was unable to continue speaking.
However, in the end,, Guo Shouyi, and Ouyang Xun, the three Senior Brother s, carefully searched for the place where the explosion occurred, and in the end, they found Senior Brother Han's broken and dim soul shadow. Senior Brother Zhou had sealed him in a Soul Suppressing Orb, but if he wanted to revive, the chances were not high!
At this critical moment, Junior Brother Zhou Yuanxian, who was currently in charge of Bright Moon Peak, stood forward. He gathered everyone and led them out of the Immortal Dao Mountain, ordering them to seal off all news related to the Immortal Dao Mountain, in order to prevent the disciples of the sect from getting scared.
After returning to the surface, without Senior Brother Han, the entire Floating Cloud Pavilion was in a dangerous situation where there was not a single Comprehension of the Dao Ranker overseeing the situation. Even Senior Sister Su Yanxue, who was a half-step into the Dao of enlightenment, had turned insane from the intense stimulation.
As a result, the Zhou Senior Brother, who had the highest cultivation, took the initiative to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the entire Floating Cloud Pavilion. He organized all the elders to gather at Bright Moon Peak for an emergency meeting of the sect's upper echelons.
Because she was worried that the other three sects would take the chance to attack while the sect was still weak, Senior Brother Zhou proposed to completely activate the sect's great protective formation. First, she wanted to protect the sect, and all the elders agreed.
Although it was only a legend, they all wanted to gamble. Zhou Senior Brother said that if the Cloud Prison really did exist, and if it could save the three of you elders, then the Floating Cloud Pavilion would be able to completely solve the problem.
However, they did not know what to do. They could not find any clues regarding the Cloud Prison at all from the sect's information, and this continued for a month. In the end, they could not find any.
Just as the few Senior Brother were discussing and arranging for people to go down into the Cloud Stream Abyss to look for him, an astonishing piece of news suddenly came from the outside world. "
"What is it?" Seeing Qiu Huazhen's strange expression, Zhang Hanyue hurriedly asked.
Qiu Huazhen cleared his voice, and his expression became even more solemn, to the point where his eyes revealed the shock of lingering fear. He then continued: "This news was specifically reported by a rogue cultivator from the outside world who rushed over to Floating Cloud Pavilion to report. He said that when he passed by a city in the northern part of the Heavenly Water County, he discovered that all the people within that city had actually turned into dried corpses overnight."
"Oh my god, what's going on? Is this news even true? How can that rogue cultivator be sure that it happened overnight? " Hearing that, Zhang Hanyue's eyes revealed a look of horror, everyone was shocked.
Qiu Huazhen then continued to speak, "Because he said that he had just passed by that place a day ago and had even bought medicinal pellets from that city. At that time, everything was still as usual. The next day, he returned and happened to walk there. Seeing that it was already late, he decided to stay in the city.
However, the moment he stepped into the city, he saw the dried corpses on the ground. He was so scared that his soul almost left his body. At that time, he thought he had entered a ghost city.
Because he was too nervous at the time, he did not dare to stay for too long. He only confirmed a little, then left hurriedly, and after leaving, he felt fear in his heart, and felt that this matter was extremely important, and that he should inform a powerful sect about it. That was why he rushed to the Floating Cloud Pavilion in the middle of the night, and told us about this matter. "
"Oh god, who is it that has the ability to turn a city into a ghost city overnight? How brutal!" Bai Rongchun said.
"This matter has garnered great attention from Senior Brother Zhou. The Tianshui County is a county where the sect of our Floating Cloud Pavilion is located.
He made a prompt decision, and immediately decided to investigate this matter together with Guo Shouyi and Senior Brother Guo, leaving behind the most powerful senior sister Su, who was in charge of forming the group in the sect.
One month later, when the Senior Brother Zhou and the Senior Brother Guo returned, they brought back even more shocking news.
He said that the two of them had been chasing each other from the north to the east of the Tianshui County. Along the way, they had seen more than one ghost city. Within a month, they had seen hundreds of these ghost cities.
They had carefully observed the expressions of the mummified corpses before they died and realized that they did not have any fear before they died. Instead, they were all doing things in their hands and had their souls and vitality sucked away by someone in an instant!
Whether it was cultivators, ordinary people, old people, or children, none of them could escape from this calamity.
The two Senior Brother s did not dare to continue their search, they suspected that it was the runaway beast. That was why they had no choice but to return to the sect to discuss with everyone about how to resolve this issue.
Because there are no experts in charge of Comprehension of the Dao, we did not dare to notify the other three sects and send experts to support them. After our final discussion, the sect only left him and I to guard in the sect, the other elders all went all out to destroy that repulsive beast, not letting him continue to harm the people of the world! " After Qiu Huazhen quickly finished this, he gnashed his teeth as he spoke.
"This damned beast!" Zhang Hanyue clenched his fists tightly, a powerful late stage of Dao Seeking cultivation could not help but emit out in an instant, causing everyone to tremble uncontrollably.
However, Qiu Huazhen immediately laughed and said: "Now it's alright, with the few Senior Brother back, I can finally be at ease!"
Zhang Hanyue nodded his head: "I think, that beast was indeed injured quite badly by Junior Brother Han, so by doing this, it could be constantly consuming and recuperating from its own injuries!"
"Yes, Senior Brother Zhou also analyzed it this way!" Qiu Huazhen hurriedly nodded and said.
"Senior Brother, what should we do next?" Miao Meng Lan said.
Zhang Hanyue pondered for a moment and then immediately put on the appearance of the head of all the Great Elder s back then.
Junior Miao, you stay behind to take charge of the formation. Because without a Comprehension of the Dao expert taking charge of the formation, its strength will be greatly reduced. Also, you have to be responsible for notifying the other three sects and have them send experts to support us and get in touch with us as soon as possible.
Junior Bai, you and I will go and reunite with junior Zhou and the others. As for Junior Qiu, you two stay behind and take care of all of Junior Miao's support.
Remember, no matter what happens, no matter what happens, no matter who is in the formation, no matter who dies, no matter what happens, you have to keep the foundation of the sect for ten thousand years!
This matter cannot be delayed, Junior Bai, it seems like we need to leave immediately! "
"It's the Senior Brother. Junior sister must have managed to form a formation in front of us, perishing in battle!" Although Miao Meng Lan was hesitant and wanted to go up to the front lines to kill the enemy, she knew that protecting the base of the back lines was more important, so she readily agreed!
After Zhang Hanyue finished speaking, it was as though he did not want to waste any more time, he immediately got Qiu Huazhen to activate the array formation, and sent the two of them out, but at that moment, Lei Yang stood out foolishly and said: "Clan elder, what about us?"
Zhang Hanyue was startled, then as if he suddenly remembered Zhang Qing and Lei Yang, he laughed: "This is no longer your business, go back to your respective cave homes and cultivate well!"
"I ?" Lei Yang was not convinced at first, he wanted to go too, but Zhang Hanyue and Bai Rongchun flashed and disappeared without a trace, the two of them could only shake their heads and sigh, then dejectedly walked out of the array control center, walking towards the cave with their heads lowered.
