Chapter 156 - Lost Contact With the Outside World, Trapped Inside

“That’s what happened. We thought that the black Qi wouldn’t be able to cause any big waves, but after hearing what you said, we felt that something was wrong.”

After listening to Ye Xuan’s story, the people of the Sword Sect had complicated expressions. They didn’t expect that after they separated, the Tai Qing Sect would have such a situation.

“If it was a thousand years ago, then it would make sense. The power of this creature is not something we can deal with.”

Ye Xuan thought of the system’s mission and the filth removal pills. He wondered if it could remove the black Qi that was parasitic in the human body.

“Elder Ye, you’ve already dealt with it several times. Do you have any good ideas?”

Ye Xuan pondered for a moment and said, “I think the most important thing now is to inform the others and gather all our strength. I’m afraid most people don’t know about this yet.”

Now that they couldn’t contact the outside world inside the secret realm, the entire secret realm was like an isolated island. They naturally had to unite. Otherwise, they couldn’t deal with it with the power of their two sects.

Not to mention, Bai Haoyu was still around, searching for them.

“Elder Ye’s words are very reasonable. In order to prevent anyone from encountering mishaps and being assimilated into monsters by the black Qi, we must quickly inform the others.”

Soon, Shen Changling’s and Ye Xuan’s groups split up and decided to look for the others.

Although they couldn’t contact the outside world, they could still contact people in the secret realm. They also sent out many paper cranes to send messages and find people, explaining the dangerous situation in the secret realm.

…

Outside the secret realm.

Mo Jianming looked at the communication that had suddenly been cut off as if it had been cut off by some inexplicable force. He couldn’t help but frown.

After all, he had personally carved this jade and set up a restriction on it. It also had a strong defensive power that ordinary forces could not interfere with. When he tried to contact Shen Changling again, there was no response.

“Did something really happen in the secret realm?”

Based on Shen Changling’s ability, even if he wasn’t invincible in the secret realm, there weren’t many who could defeat him. However, something big must have happened for him to say such words.

Mo Jianming immediately went to find the grand elders of the other sects and explained the situation.

“What did you just say? Open the secret realm in advance and let everyone out?!”

The grand elders of the Yaochi Holy Land, Heaven Sect, and the Dao Seeking Sect were all in disbelief.

“Just because of what your disciple said, isn’t this too much of a joke?”

“Elder Mo, do you really think that this secret realm belongs to the Sword Sect? Do you think you can open and close it as you please?”

“If we open it now, wouldn’t it be a waste of a good opportunity to gain experience? Moreover, this is related to the sect returning ceremony, we can’t be so casual.”

Everyone disagreed with the early opening of the secret realm.

Because of the special nature of this secret realm, once it was opened, one could not re-enter. One had to wait until the next time the secret realm opened.

However, with the instability of the secret realm, it was very likely that the next time would be in fifty years, or even a hundred years.

This secret realm was related to Penglai Immortal Island. There might be some good things inside. They had not finished exploring it, so how could they let their disciples leave willingly?

Mo Jianming’s expression gradually turned cold. He icily said, “I’m not joking. Something big might have happened in the secret realm. Otherwise, my disciple would definitely not say such things for no reason.”

The grand elder of the Dao Seeking Sect said mockingly, “What big thing can happen in the secret realm? It’s nothing more than a dispute and struggles over those rare treasures. What danger can there be? You are being too much of an alarmist, Elder Mo.”

“All the secret realms in the past were filled with danger. At most, a few people would die. On the path of cultivation, danger and opportunity always co-exist.”

“I heard that the disciples of the Sword Sect are all tough. How come they’re afraid of death now? They’ve created such a big scene with just a small movement.”

He didn’t expect that not only would those people not listen to him, but they would also mock him in a strange way. Mo Jianming was so angry that he couldn’t speak for a long time.

His voice was extremely low, and his aura was extremely cold. He asked, “One word from you guys. Are you guys opening it or not?”

The other people’s faces also gradually darkened.

“Elder Mo, although you are powerful, if you insist on doing things your own way, we will not allow it. Are you really going to offend the other sects just because of a word from a disciple?”

“If we don’t agree, I’m afraid you won’t be able to open the secret realm with your strength alone.”

Seeing that the atmosphere had become tense, the people of the Infinity Sect quickly came out to smooth things over.

“Elder Mo, we know that you dote on this disciple, but there’s no problem with this disciple’s life tokens. It’s hard to convince us with just a few words from you.”

This was also why Mo Jianming couldn’t firmly assert his point. Shen Changling’s life token was indeed intact.

Life tokens were made from the blood of their owners. When the owner died, the token would be destroyed. That was why Bai Haoyu and the others had not been affected even though they had been infected.

Their current situation could not be considered as ‘death’, so the seven great sects naturally did not notice the abnormality.

“Elder Mo, don’t worry. Even though we don’t know the situation inside the secret realm, I believe that nothing will happen.”

After all, the life tokens of the disciples of the seven great sects were all in good condition.

These people didn’t know that the disciples who had been parasitized, even their life tokens had a faint black Qi.
