Chapter 427 The Tianfu Sect Was Alarmed
Zhan Nianchuan was not in a hurry to return to the sect. After controlling the White Cloud Boat to fly tens of thousands of miles at high speed, he slowed down and hid the flying boat in a cloud in the sky.
The White Cloud Boat has a very strong concealment effect, and its material is solid. It is also equipped with a mid-level earth-level defense formation. Hiding in the white clouds on this vast lake is a good choice.
After waiting quietly for a quarter of an hour and confirming that there was nothing unusual around, Zhan Nianchuan summoned Erhuo and Tujialong, and told them to take turns to control the White Cloud Boat.
"Hide in the white clouds? But what if the white clouds disperse?" Erhuo asked with his cute little eyes, and Tujialong beside him nodded repeatedly.
"Change it, why are you so stupid?! In addition, if the weather is clear and there are no clouds, you can control the flying boat to increase its altitude and continue to move forward slowly. This is a relatively remote area of Thousand Island Lake. Generally, no one will notice it. Except for the Jindan realm cultivators, no one can pose a threat to the flying boat."
After giving instructions, Zhan Nianchuan took out a pill and swallowed it. He began to sit cross-legged to refine the medicinal power, trying to recover from his injuries as soon as possible.
......
Tianfu Sect, Sect Hall.
Many elders and great elders of Tianfu Sect gathered together, all with solemn expressions, and dozens of eyes were focused on an old man wearing a tall crown.
This person is the great elder of Tianfu Sect, Yelu Quan, a cultivator in the middle stage of Jindan.
"Uncle Yelu, is there really an ancient demon sealed and suppressed under the deserted island?" Mo Buli asked the question that everyone was concerned about.
After Ye Ziyi returned with injuries and told the sect master Mo Buli everything that happened on the deserted island, Mo Buli knew that the matter was of great importance, so he immediately informed Yelu Quan, who then went to the deserted island to investigate.
Holding his high crown with his hand, Yelu Qi sighed and shook his head, then nodded.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what the great elder meant. Fortunately, Yelu Quan gave his own explanation afterwards:
"It is very likely! Because according to the joint investigation between me and Li Daoyou of Shuiyun Sect, we found that the bottom of this deserted island is not a low-level spiritual mine at all, and all the spiritual stones below are top-grade spiritual stones!"
As if a drop of water fell into an oil pan, the whole place exploded, and many elders breathed rapidly and immediately discussed.
No wonder they were so excited, that was a top-grade spiritual stone, which was very useful for both formation and cultivation, and it can be imagined that there must be a lot of spiritual stones below.
Yelu Quan looked at the excited expressions of the elders, frowned, and showed an unhappy look on his face.
Soon, all the cultivators noticed this, and the discussion subsided.
"Although your cultivation is not low, you still can't see through the word greed," Yeluquan sighed, and then slowly said: "These are all top-grade spirit stones, but after a long time and long-term consumption, the spiritual power has been exhausted, and even ordinary low-grade spirit stones are not as good as them."
There was a slight commotion among the elders, which soon subsided, but everyone had a look of regret on their faces.
Yeluquan saw the expressions of the crowd, snorted coldly and continued:
"Through the joint exploration of the old man and fellow Daoist Li, the arrangement of the spirit stones below was summarized, and then a shocking secret was discovered!" He showed a look of horror in his eyes, looking at the direction of the deserted island, and said slowly word by word: "This is a large formation, a shocking formation arranged entirely by top-grade spirit stones!"
The hall was silent.
Everyone was silent, silently digesting this shocking news.
What a big deal!
What on earth is such a powerful formation used for? Thinking of Ye Ziyi's story, everyone was extremely frightened.
After a long time.
It was Mo Buli who broke the silence. He licked his dry lips and asked hoarsely:
"It seems that, as Sister Ye said, there is an ancient demon sealed below?"
"It should be like this, because all the disciples sent by our two sects to dig for spiritual stones have been sucked out of their magic power, blood, and essence and died, and a faint demonic aura was found on them."
At this time, the noisy old man with a rosacea, the great elder of Tianfu Sect, Wan Buzui, couldn't help but interrupt and said: "No, according to my investigation, there is another person who did not die, that is Li Hong from Xiaoqiu Peak!"
Everyone was in a commotion when they heard this, and they all turned their eyes to Huang Ren, the master of Xiaoqiu Peak.
He was surprised at first, then frowned and asked, "But he didn't return to my Xiaoqiu Peak."
"Then I don't know what happened," Wan Buzui spread his hands and continued, "A total of ninety-nine shriveled corpses of my disciples were found underground. All of them died of blood and essence. Judging from the tokens on their bodies, only Li Hong was not there."
Ye Ziyi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at his apprentice meaningfully. The latter was so excited that his fat body was trembling. He called a disciple impatiently. I don't know what she said. The disciple kept nodding and then hurried away.
"Very good, very good, it's good to be able to escape." Huang Ren sighed, very happy in his heart.
"Grand Elder, where is this demon now?" Mo Buli was very dissatisfied with Wan Buzui interrupting Yelu Quan's conversation, but this old guy had a high status. He was the great elder of the sect. His strength was at the peak of the foundation building stage, not inferior to him, so he couldn't do anything to him.
"When fellow Daoist Li and I arrived, the evil demon had already disappeared." Yelu Quan said thoughtfully.
All the monks breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and several of them even smiled with relief.
The ancient demons were extremely terrifying. According to the classics, each demon had a terrifying strength comparable to that of a human master in the Divine Transformation Realm. It was easy for them to destroy mountains and split seas, and it was definitely not something that their small Tianfu Sect could withstand.
Now that they heard that the demon had left, everyone naturally felt relieved.
"However, after many investigations by me and Fellow Daoist Li, we did not find any traces of the existence of the ancient demons. Logically, where such demons exist, there must be a large amount of pure demonic energy, but even after going hundreds of feet underground, we did not find anything." Yelu Quan showed a trace of doubt on his face.
Everyone was puzzled, and finally it was the master of Xizhao Peak, Ye Ziyi, who gave a positive answer:
"There must be an ancient demon sealed, because my spirit beast, the spirit-sniffing rat, has an extremely keen sense of all spiritual energy and demonic energy. It was only thanks to its reminder that I was able to discover the abnormality in the first time and escape quickly. However, Fang Jianxiong, a fellow Taoist from Shuiyun Sect, was a beat slower in reaction and was swallowed by the demon in an instant."
Recalling the thrilling and terrifying scene at that time, Ye Ziyi's face turned pale, and he felt both relieved and scared.
After some discussion, Yelu Qi made his own decision:
"Notify Tianshui Sect of the news and let them, a super sect, deal with the ancient demon. As for our Tianfu Sect, we will open the sect formation for a month, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will, and then..."
Just then, a rough voice sounded, attracting the attention of the whole audience.
"Reporting to the Grand Elder, the disciple and the master are willing to take charge of guarding the sect's formation, and will do our best to protect everyone's safety!"
The one who spoke was naturally Mo Xiaoli, who tried to smile, with layers of wrinkles on her greasy face.
Ye Ziyi, who was standing by, understood his disciple's thoughts, sighed inwardly, and could only smile and nod to express his willingness to take on the task of guarding the sect's formation.
