Chapter 443: The Panicked Meteor Sect

Hearing this, the expressions on their faces visibly stiffened.

‘He wasn’t mistaken?’

If that were true, didn’t it mean their Meteor Sect was wide open, and anyone could just waltz in and start killing?

‘This joke has gone too far.’

The Second Elder shook his head with a smile. “Eighth Elder, it’s not that I mean to doubt you, but that’s simply impossible.”

“Whether it’s possible or not, you’ll know once you try.”

The Eighth Elder insisted.

He didn’t want there to be trouble either, but he genuinely couldn’t sense the Nine Stars Falling Array.

“Fine, I’ll give it a try.”

The Second Elder reluctantly agreed and began to form hand seals.

He planned to activate the Nine Stars Falling Array and let the facts speak for themselves, completely dispelling the Eighth Elder’s doubts.

However, the Nine Stars Falling Array didn’t react.

“What’s going on?”

The Second Elder exclaimed in surprise.

With his immense power as a Semi-Saint, he should have been able to activate the Nine Stars Falling Array with ease, facing no pressure at all.

‘But what’s wrong with it today?’

No matter how he formed the seals, the Nine Stars Falling Array, which he could normally activate with ease, didn’t react in the slightest.

Seeing this, the Meteor Sect Sect Leader and the others all frowned.

‘Something seems wrong here.’

The Meteor Sect Sect Leader subconsciously asked, “What’s happening?”

“I don’t know what’s happening either.”

The Second Elder hesitated for a few seconds. “Sect Leader, I can’t sense the Nine Stars Falling Array anymore.”

‘What the hell?’

‘He can’t sense the Nine Stars Falling Array?’

‘Could it be? Has our Sect Protection Array really vanished?’

That’s preposterous!

The Grand Elder mused, “Perhaps the Second Elder is just too tired, and his senses have dulled. How about I give it a try?”

“Alright!”

Everyone nodded in unanimous agreement.

The Grand Elder took a deep breath, then channeled all his power to form hand seals, activating the Nine Stars Falling Array.

As a result, the Nine Stars Falling Array still showed no reaction whatsoever.

The Grand Elder was completely bewildered.

Next, the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Elders all formed their seals, but they too were unable to sense the Nine Stars Falling Array’s existence.

At this, everyone became unsettled.

After the Meteor Sect Sect Leader tried and failed, his face turned grim. “Everyone,” he said, “our Meteor Sect’s Sect Protection Array has, in fact, disappeared.”

“What?”

“Could it be that the King of Reincarnation attacked while we were in seclusion?”

“Impossible. If the King of Reincarnation attacked, there would surely be widespread devastation, but our Meteor Sect is peaceful, with no signs of a major battle.”

The Elders looked around in confusion, a chill creeping up their spines.

‘It’s too bizarre.’

At this moment, a Middle-aged Steward ran over. “Congratulations on coming out of seclusion, Sect Leader. The Ninth Elder sent me to call you all. He said there is an important matter to discuss.”

“Alright, we’ll go right away.”

The Meteor Sect Sect Leader replied.

This bizarre situation was something that perhaps only Zheng Qiushan, who had been guarding the Sect, could explain.

Soon, the group arrived at the Meteor Sect’s main hall.

“Sect Leader, you’re finally out of seclusion!”

Zheng Qiushan hurried over to the Meteor Sect Sect Leader and asked, “Were you successful?”

“We were!”

The Meteor Sect Sect Leader nodded.

Zheng Qiushan looked toward the Eighth Elder and said excitedly, “Does that mean our Meteor Sect has another Semi-Saint Level expert? That’s fantastic!”

“What? The Eighth Elder became a Semi-Saint?”

Patriarch Yu and the others all looked at the Eighth Elder in surprise.

The Eighth Elder nodded. “That’s right. With the help of the Sect Leader, Grand Elder, and the others, I have indeed reached the Half-Saint Realm.”

Everyone present gasped in astonishment.

Including the Eighth Elder, the Meteor Sect now had a total of nine Semi-Saints. Their lineup was undeniably formidable.

“Hahaha, the heavens have truly blessed our Meteor Sect!”

“With the Eighth Elder as a Semi-Saint, even if the King of Reincarnation is at the Saint Level, our Meteor Sect can still beat the shit out of him.”

“Hmph, if the King of Reincarnation dares to come, our Meteor Sect will execute another Saint.”

“This time, we’ll make an example of him! We’ll see who dares to call our Meteor Sect the weakest Sacred Land and treat us like a pushover after this.”

The morale of the Meteor Sect members was greatly boosted.

The Meteor Sect Sect Leader said bluntly, “Go and call out the King of Reincarnation. We’ll show you how to execute a Saint right now.”

Hearing this, Zheng Qiushan looked alarmed.

‘Has the King of Reincarnation already arrived?’

‘Where is he?’

‘How come I didn’t feel a thing?’

Seeing Zheng Qiushan frozen in a daze, the Grand Elder prompted, “Elder Zheng, what are you spacing out for? Hurry up and call out the King of Reincarnation! I’m already itching to beat him to death.”

“Me? Go call him?”

Zheng Qiushan asked, bewildered.

‘What kind of joke is this?’

‘With my strength at the Martial Emperor Great Perfection Realm, the King of Reincarnation would kill me with a single blow!’

The Grand Elder snorted. “Hmph, you’re the only one here who knows where the King of Reincarnation is. If you don’t go, who will? You expect me to go?”

Zheng Qiushan was speechless.

‘I know?’

‘I don’t know shit.’

‘Forget knowing where he is, I’ve never even seen the King of Reincarnation in my entire life.’

Zheng Qiushan said, “Grand Elder, I really don’t know where the King of Reincarnation is. You should just go call him yourself.”

“Are you sure you don’t know?”

The Grand Elder asked uncertainly.

Zheng Qiushan said, “I really don’t know. Everyone here can prove it for me. If you don’t believe me, ask Patriarch Yu and Patriarch Zhao.”

“I can testify. Elder Zheng really doesn’t know,” Patriarch Zhao said.

Yu Tie added, “Grand Elder, you’ve misunderstood Elder Zheng. He’s been with us the whole time and hasn’t seen any King of Reincarnation!”

Now, it was the Grand Elder’s turn to be bewildered.

Yu Tie continued, “And let’s be blunt, if we had seen the King of Reincarnation, we’d all be corpses by now and wouldn’t be here to see you.”

“This…”

The Grand Elder had a hesitant expression.

‘Given the King of Reincarnation’s nature, he would never have left so many survivors like Zheng Qiushan and Yu Tie.’

‘But other than the King of Reincarnation, who else could possibly destroy our Sect Protection Array?’

The Grand Elder took a deep breath. “Then tell me, why has our Sect Protection Array vanished?”

Hearing this, Elder Zheng instantly understood.

‘The Grand Elder and the others saw the Nine Stars Falling Array was gone and assumed the King of Reincarnation had attacked. That’s why they’re trying to force me to summon him.’

“Well…”

Zheng Qiushan looked at Su Mo. “Young Master Su, perhaps it’s better if you explain it yourself.”

The Meteor Sect Sect Leader and the others looked at Su Mo in confusion.

They had noticed Su Mo long ago.

It was just that, due to the threat of the King of Reincarnation, they hadn’t paid any attention to Su Mo.

‘Su Mo will explain it himself?’

‘Could it be that Su Mo was the one who destroyed the Nine Stars Falling Array?’

‘No way!’

‘What Realm is Su Mo even in?’

Under everyone’s gaze, Su Mo stood up awkwardly. “My apologies, I was indeed the one who broke the Nine Stars Falling Array.”

“You? What kind of joke is that!”

The Meteor Sect Sect Leader exclaimed in shock.

Su Mo said lightly, “I’m not joking. I broke the Nine Stars Falling Array with a snap of my fingers. I didn’t expect you to mistake it for the King of Reincarnation’s arrival.”

Hearing this, the eyes of the Meteor Sect Sect Leader and the others instantly widened.

‘He broke the Nine Stars Falling Array with a single snap of his fingers.’

‘And he says he’s not joking?’

‘Who is he trying to fool?!’
