Chapter 894: Chapter 430: Updating... (3)

Meanwhile, more and more cultivators who heard the news came to observe the scene from afar.

The nearby families and sects all poured out in full force just to witness this event. Because if the evil continued to spread, they would be the first to suffer.

"Finally, it’s under control."

"If it wasn’t controlled soon, my sect would be swallowed up. Hundreds of years of foundation would be ruined in an instant!"

"The Tier Three Trapping Array can trap even Early Stage Golden Core cultivators, let alone this evil that currently can only threaten Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators."

"Although it has been controlled, I still feel something is amiss. Because the evil seems to have grown too fast this time."

"Yes, in just two or three months it could kill a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator, which never happened before."

"The last evil took three whole years to grow enough to kill a middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators were never at risk."

Amidst the discussions, the elderly woman slowly closed her eyes, sat cross-legged on the flying ship, and instructed Qingshen beside her: "Qingshen boy, keep a close watch. If there’s any abnormal change, wake me immediately."

Qingshen nodded, "Rest assured, ancestor!"

After speaking, Qingshen looked towards Tianxiu and the others nearby.

All the Foundation Establishment cultivators immediately scattered like startled swans and set up temporary abodes around the evil, monitoring with Divine Sense constantly.

One day.

Two days.

Three days.

The evil rapidly spread to the edge of the Tier Three Trapping Array and kept attacking it, but it did not cause any slight disturbance to the array.

The many Foundation Establishment cultivators were not surprised, completely ignoring it.

Thus, another seven or eight days passed, and the evil within the array still made no significant movement, only continuously assaulting the array.

The elderly woman opened her eyes at this moment and said slowly: "Leave ten Foundation Establishment guards for the trapping array, the others should return to the sect and continue their work."

Ten days have passed, the evil still cannot cause any substantial damage to the array, following previous experiences dealing with the evil, this one seems trapped.

Therefore, there’s no need for so many people to keep watch.

Qingshen nodded and was about to send messages to the others when an angry roar like thunder suddenly rang out.

Its voice was neither human nor beastly, but very deep and ancient, filled with a power.

Accompanied by this angry roar, a massive and ferocious beast composed of evil rose up and shattered the great array in one blow.

Boom——

The Tier Three Array shattered in response.

The elderly woman’s face changed drastically, "Immediately communicate with the sect, this evil is extraordinary!"

Soon, the message reached the sect, causing an uproar immediately.

Many Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators and even Golden Core Elders did not hesitate to rush to Yongkang City upon receiving the message.

As more and more Foundation Establishment cultivators headed to Yongkang City, the news of the evil’s sudden mutation quickly spread within the Wuji Sect’s inner sect, soon becoming known to every cultivator inside and outside the sect.

However, this matter did not cause panic as everyone believed Wuji Sect’s Golden Core Zhenren could resolve it, just like before.

Nonetheless, when the first group of severely injured Foundation Establishment cultivators returned to the sect, those who knew the news, whether outer cultivators or inner sect Foundation Establishment disciples, no longer stayed calm.

Because it’s known that five Golden Core Zhenrens have already gone to support.

Yet they couldn’t solve the evil at all.

In the following days, as more and more Foundation Establishment cultivators returned to the sect with injuries; and the news of Foundation Establishment cultivators’ deaths trickled in.

The atmosphere across the sect sank into a heavy mood.

At this moment, everyone gradually understood the situation this time was vastly different from before; this evil was far stronger than any previous one.

What worried everyone the most was that it had only been two or three months since this evil emerged.

If it continued to expand, it would directly reach the Wuji Sect!

At this moment, panic spread through the Wuji Sect.

Soon, Wen Jiu also learned about the news while shopping but returned to Dugu Peak after checking the system message.

Because the system indicated that the aunt was very safe now.

This did not surprise Wen Jiu at all, since that aunt was now the direct disciple of the sect leader of Wuji Sect.

Who would dare put the sect leader’s direct disciple in danger?

After about seven or eight days, while waiting for Da Mao’s transformation, Celestial Soul suddenly arrived at Dugu Peak, worry written all over his face.

Wen Jiu invited him to sit down to calm down, but Celestial Soul was restless, "In this evil incident, thirteen Foundation Establishment cultivators have fallen, including two Foundation Establishment Perfections. Why hasn’t there been any news about Tianxiu girl so far?"

Wen Jiu reclined outside the cave dwelling, reading his book, and said calmly, "Uncle, Wuji Sect still has Nascent Soul cultivators, what are you worried about?"

"But the sect leader is not in Wuji Sect right now." Celestial Soul replied.

Wen Jiu asked puzzled, "Not in Wuji Sect?"

"After publicly announcing Tianxiu as his direct disciple, the sect leader suddenly left Wuji Sect, his whereabouts unknown, and there’s no telling when he’ll return."

"Uncle, who told you this news?"

"A Golden Core Elder told me personally and advised me not to tell anyone." Celestial Soul’s expression grew more solemn as he spoke.

Wen Jiu smiled helplessly, "Even if the sect leader isn’t here, aren’t there still many Golden Core Zhenrens in Wuji Sect?"

Celestial Soul fell silent.

Unsure whether he chose not to speak further or simply didn’t know what else to say.

After pacing anxiously around Dugu Peak for half a day, Wen Jiu received a system alert.
