The atmosphere was a little gloomy. After a long while, someone could not help but say, “Could it be that Senior Brother Gu is really a spy from the Demon Region?”
Seeing the gazes of the people around him, the disciple who had just said these words suddenly felt a little regretful for not choosing his words carefully. He said embarrassedly, “I, I didn’t mean that. It’s just that…”
He lowered his head dejectedly. In fact, many people had this kind of negative emotion in their hearts. They were just too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Shen Tianyi also knew what everyone was thinking. He came out and comforted them. “Everyone, everyone has already seen the current situation. It concerns the life and death of the Supreme Purity Sect. If we don’t even trust our own people, are we going to let those people outside splash dirty water on us?”
Everyone instantly fell into silence. They had also seen the methods of those powerful sects. They could not differentiate between right and wrong. Human lives were nothing to them.
If it was not for the Tiangang Sword Sect’s arrival, they might have already been annihilated.
“This time, they can accuse Gu Xi of being a spy from the Demon Region. Next time, they can accuse our entire sect of having an affair with the Demon Region. Do we have to admit it too? Everyone has been getting along with each other day and night. Don’t we know each other’s character?”
The disciples who still had some complaints about Gu Xi gradually calmed down. From Xie Mingze’s conversation with the others, they knew that everything was caused by the Primal Chaos Secret Realm.
However, the Primal Chaos Secret Realm had acknowledged Gu Xi as its master. In the end, this was the source of the disaster.
“Then what should we do now? I don’t want to die…”
“That’s right. It wasn’t easy for my cultivation to improve. I’ve just broken through a bottleneck and my clan is still waiting for me to come back. I didn’t expect that I would encounter such a calamity. Whether I can survive or not is a problem.”
It was not that these disciples were afraid of death. However, death was always the most frightening thing in the hearts of people. Hence, Shen Tianyi could understand.
“Actually, things haven’t reached the worst stage yet. If we wait for Gu Xi to return, perhaps we still have a chance of survival.”
Everyone’s eyes shone with hope. Suddenly, someone whispered, “But what if Senior Brother Gu doesn’t come back?”
The various great sects of the Capital had joined forces to hunt down Gu Xi. Now, the news of Gu Xi being a spy from the Demon Region had already spread throughout the world. It could be said that everyone had a reason to kill him.
Everyone knew that as long as they captured Gu Xi, they would be able to obtain the supreme-grade Cultivation Methods and Magical Treasures from these great sects.
If Gu Xi returned, it could be said that there was a slim chance of survival for him. Faced with such a dead end, as long as one was not a fool, they would know to run away. Would Gu Xi return?
Shen Tianyi did not say anything, and the air instantly fell into a deathly silence.
At this moment, the Ancient Sect, the Ethereal Illusion Mansion, and the Hall of Flowing Light had divided up the 18 main peaks of the Supreme Purity Sect.
Although the small Supreme Purity Sect was not worth their attention, no matter how insignificant a prey was, it was still meat. Moreover, with Gu Xi’s superb alchemy and refining techniques, who knew what good things he might have left behind.
With this thought in mind, many people began to plunder. The 18 main peaks had already fallen, and there was only one peak left untouched.
This mountain peak was located in the most remote part of the Supreme Purity Sect. If one did not pay attention, it would be easily overlooked by others.
When a few disciples went up to check, they suddenly disappeared into thin air. This scared the others so much that their expressions changed, and they hurriedly went back to report.
“What did you say? Those few disciples went in and disappeared?”
The remaining disciples nodded, and said with an unsightly expression, “Senior Brother Zhang went up to check the situation, but in the end, he also disappeared and never came out again.”
The Ancient Sect, the Pure Lotus Sect, the Hall of Flowing Light, and the others felt that something was strange. Could it be that those disciples had lost their way? But even so, they should not have still not come out until now. They immediately rushed over to check the situation.
The mountain in front was plain and ordinary to the extreme, but the Ancient Sect Master smelled an unusual aura and felt that it was somewhat out of place with the surrounding environment.
It was as if there was an invisible barrier blocking everyone’s vision.
He muttered to himself and his hands formed complicated hand seals. He drew a line in the air and an invisible air current immediately swept out rapidly in the surroundings.
“Heaven and Earth have no limits. Break for me!”
The moment his voice fell, a sharp cry sounded in the air. Spiritual power burst out from his fingertips and all of it poured into a certain point in the void.
The wind and clouds gathered, and the mountain peak in front of them suddenly changed.
It was no ordinary thing. Looking at the mountain peak that towered into the clouds and was surrounded by celestial mist, as if one could reach out and pick the stars and the moon, everyone was dumbfounded.
Many disciples rubbed their eyes, not daring to believe what they were seeing.
Even the main peak of their own sect did not have such an imposing manner. It was simply an Immortal Mountain from beyond the Heavens. Its imposing manner was extremely grand, and the faint aura it exuded made people tremble.
The Sect Master of the Ancient Sect could not help but sigh. “What a powerful concealment formation.”
If it was not for his high cultivation and his deep understanding of formations, he probably would not have discovered the profoundness within.
Even if the illusion was broken, they did not dare to let down their guard. They exhorted the disciples beside them, “Just the illusion formation on the outside is already extremely powerful. There must be something even more powerful inside, so everyone must be careful.”
If these people knew that the illusion formation that was powerful in their eyes was actually just a simple one that Gu Xi had casually set up, their jaws would drop in surprise.
Gu Xi knew that no one in the Supreme Purity Sect would trespass on their own accord, so setting up an illusion was just to cover their ears and eyes.
Because of this extraordinary illusion, the few Sect Masters decided to check out the situation first. After finding the missing disciples, they looked at each other and stepped out together.
Buzz–
The sharp sound of a sharp weapon piercing through the air came from all directions, as if it could even break the air in half.
“Everyone, be careful!”
The Ancient Sect Master hurriedly warned them, but it was still too late.
