Chapter 1143 - 1243: Thunderbolt and Lightning

Ye Tianfan was recovering his spiritual power, and several people were guarding him, preventing others from disturbing him.

After all, if relying on sleep to recover spiritual power, being disturbed wouldn't matter much, but if attempting further recovery during this time and someone interrupts, it would undoubtedly cause significant damage to Ye Tianfan. That's why Bai Feng was protecting Ye Tianfan.

However, just when everyone was resting, something unexpected and startling suddenly happened.

The weather here didn't usually show dramatic changes because the surroundings were filled with demonic Qi, evil Qi, and other negative auras. Even if there were weather changes, everyone wouldn't have noticed. But suddenly, the entire sky seemed to darken further. Previously, they could use the energy shield to see some outside conditions, and even saw some black-purple auras.

Suddenly, everything turned completely dark. Even within the energy shield, they couldn't see their hands in front of their faces. The crowd quickly released their magical treasures, illuminating the inside of the energy shield again. Yet, this brightness paled in comparison to before.

Before, they had Ye Tianfan adjusting the brightness within the energy shield, but now, as Ye Tianfan needed to recover his spiritual power, he could not adjust the shield's brightness, leaving everyone relying solely on the light from their magical treasures, which couldn't compare to before.

However, due to this incident, everyone stepped out of their tents. After all, they had no idea what had happened, but it seemed to be something big, or else the world wouldn't have become so dim.

Moreover, everyone was on high alert because they didn't know what exactly had happened. They had considered everything before, but never that a weather change would occur beyond the wall.

The great master Tai Chu thought this couldn't be ordinary weather change. Outside the wall, neither wind nor rain could penetrate the areas shrouded by demonic Qi and evil Qi, so nobody paid attention to weather changes.

Yet now the sky had become so dark, and they all could sense a faint feeling of threat above them, making them feel uneasy. Could it be that this wasn't weather change, but the coming of some great being? Could it be that after they eliminated that powerful extramural creature, which happened to be a subordinate of some great being beyond the wall, she came to take revenge?

But soon everyone dismissed this idea because extramural creatures, even less than demon beasts, wouldn't care if you killed their subordinate. They only cared if you infringed upon their interests. If you did, and they could overpower you, they would fight to the death. If not, they would flee. Most importantly, they have no feelings, full of slaughter, and won't avenge their subordinates, even if all their subordinates were wiped out; as long as you didn't encroach on their territory, they wouldn't easily leave it.

Should an extramural creature leave its territory, it means entering another extramural creature's domain, which inevitably leads to conflict once discovered.

After all, those who have their own territory wouldn't easily venture into another's domain, for the creatures that can claim territory are all very powerful.

So, if they were to venture out from their territory at will, it would signal to other extramural creatures their intent to invade.

This behavior frequently occurs beyond the wall. Thus, if an extramural creature detects the scent of another intruding into its land, it will promptly march towards the invasion site and fiercely combat the intruder. If victorious, the two territories will merge for the victor; if not, the losing territories will do so.

In other words, whether an extramural creature is passive or active in battle, any battle signifies the merging of two territories!

Not every extramural creature enjoys battles; some, willing to expand their territories, will fight year after year, while others, although filled with slaughter, are content with their current territories.

Yet, as everyone pondered over what was happening and why there seemed to be no subsequent events, suddenly a thunderclap resounded through the sky.

It startled everyone because it sounded so suddenly, catching them all off guard.

"What's really going on?"

Bai Feng listened to the thunder sound, somewhat curious because Ye Tianfan was still recovering his spiritual power, a time when disturbances weren't welcome, and the sudden thunderclap was precisely enough to disturb him.

At that moment, Bai Feng couldn't venture out like the others to see what was happening, as he had to be cautious and prevent anyone from approaching Ye Fan. Although the chance of such proximity was zero in this situation, Bai Feng couldn't afford to be careless, knowing that if Ye Tianfan encountered any mishaps, everyone would suffer.

Bai Feng realized that no matter what was happening outside, he couldn't leave, even if there was a fire burning down Ye Tianfan's tent. All he could do was extinguish the fire for Ye Tianfan and prevent others from disturbing him.

Furthermore, Bai Feng knew that even if he didn't check outside, Yun Tian, the senior brother, would surely inform him of the situation. After all, in such crucial matters, how could Yun Tian not come to tell him?

Moreover, it concerned Ye Tianfan's best interests, as they had to consider whether to let Ye Tianfan continue recovering his spiritual power under these circumstances.

Though Ye Tianfan's condition couldn't be disturbed, they had methods or abilities to wake him without disturbing or causing mental harm.

After all, recovering spiritual power takes several days. If a sect leader needed to recover spiritual power for several days and some major event occurred during that time, wouldn't the entire sect be doomed?

To prevent such occurrences, predecessors had devised a method to rouse someone recovering spiritual power without disturbing them, thus preventing mental trauma.
