Chapter 158 - An Unprecedented Crisis

Chapter 158: An Unprecedented Crisis

The people from the Tai Qing Sect broke into a run, and the people from the Sunset Sect followed closely behind. Those few people also caught up, and behind them was a dark group of unknown things.

Due to their instinct for danger, the people from the Sunset Sect did not dare to slow down.

The group spent a great deal of effort to shake them off.

Zhou Jun finally could not suppress the doubts in his heart and could not help but ask, “What happened just now?”

Only then did Ye Xuan tell him the whole story, saying that those people had been parasitized by the black Qi and had become immortal monsters.

The people from the Sunset Sect were shocked when they heard this. They exclaimed, “How could this be?! A monster that has lived for almost a thousand years, what cultivation level does it have…”

They didn’t even dare to think about it.

However, the truth was right in front of their eyes. Those people had clearly died, but they were resurrected again, and their combat strength had multiplied. It was simply heaven-defying to the extreme.

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, it would have been hard for them to believe that such a thing could happen in the world.

“Oh right, why are you guys with those monsters?”

“They said that they found a rare treasure in the underground palace.”

Zhou Jun felt a lingering fear in his heart. If Ye Xuan and the others had not suddenly appeared and they had really followed the group of monsters to the underground palace, what would have happened to them?

Now that he thought about it, it was simply terrifying.

Everyone fell into silence.

Ye Xuan finally understood why the people from before had disappeared for no reason. It must be for similar reasons. They wanted to go to the underground palace to search for treasure, but they didn’t expect to get themselves involved.

Now, the mastermind behind the underground palace was plotting against everyone and was bound to capture all the sects in one fell swoop.

What was he trying to do?!

Since that man dared to do it, he definitely had the strength. Ye Xuan did not dare to underestimate it. Who knew what kind of background this creature that had lived for thousands of years had?

“Perhaps the situation is worse than we thought. I wonder how Shen Changling is doing.”

“I’m sure it’s not just your sect that has encountered such a thing. Perhaps other sects have also fallen into the trap. We must stop it as soon as possible!”

It was already so difficult to deal with just a portion of the people being assimilated. If all the sects in the secret realm became this kind of undying monster…

When they thought of that scene, the people from the Sunset Sect and the Tai Qing Sect shuddered.

Ye Xuan contacted Shen Changling, only to find that he was in the same situation. He rescued a few sects in passing and prevented them from falling into the claws of the devil.

At first, they didn’t believe it either and almost fought with the people of the Sword Sect. However, when they saw that their disciples had died and come back to life, they had no choice but to believe Shen Changling’s words.

Everyone split up again.

In the current situation, everyone knew the seriousness of the matter. Even if they had grudges and disputes in the past, they chose to put them aside for the time being. After all, it was a matter of life and death. In front of a great enemy, anyone with a brain knew what to do.

But in the end, Ye Xuan’s and Shen Changling’s power was limited. Although they later enlisted the help of the other sects, what they said was too absurd. Many people didn’t believe it, so it was inevitable that there would be fights and disputes.

In this way, a lot of time was wasted, and some people had already arrived at the underground palace.

Ye Xuan even hated himself the most. He was worried about attracting the attention of the mastermind behind the scenes, so he didn’t dare to approach easily.

It was the same for the others. That place was almost the base camp of the black Qi and was also the place with the densest concentration. It was estimated that there was no possibility of returning as themselves and not as monsters.

When everyone gathered, the number of people was less than half of the people who had just entered, which meant that most of them had fallen.

This number sent a chill down everyone’s spine.

Half of them had turned into undying and powerful monsters. How terrifying was this? Even if all of them combined their strength, they still couldn’t deal with those monsters.

“What should we do now? How could this happen? The seven sects should quickly contact the outside world and ask them to let us leave.”

The crowd was restless. At this moment, they were hiding in a formation in the secret realm. Ye Xuan had found it by accident and found that this formation could hide their aura.

With the addition of improvements and the infusion of spiritual power, everyone entered the palace and avoided the tracking and search of those people outside.

The disciples of the seven great sects were all silent. To be more precise, it should be the six great sects, because the Misty Illusory Manor had already been completely annihilated.

“Why aren’t you guys saying anything?”

The disciples of the Yaochi Holy Land and the Heaven Sect didn’t look good.

Even if they tried everything they could, they couldn’t contact the outside world. All their communication methods had failed, and the messages they sent to the outside world were like rocks sinking into the sea. There was no response.

When everyone heard this news, it was like a bolt from the blue.

“What did you just say? Unable to contact the outside world? You guys are joking with us, right?”

Ye Xuan had already expected this result. After all, they had tried to contact the outside world before.

“Aren’t we going to be trapped here and die?”

“Those people can’t be killed at all, and their combat strength is strong. If they find us, we can only die.”

“Don’t worry. Things haven’t gotten to that point yet. Although we can’t contact the outside world, I believe they’ll notice it soon.”

“We just have to wait until that day. The people outside will definitely open the secret realm. At that time, we will be saved.”

This sentence made everyone calm down a little.

“That’s right, there are still seven great sects outside and so many people. It’s impossible for them not to know about such a big thing that happened in the secret realm.”

Shen Changling didn’t comment and asked Ye Xuan, “What do you think about this?”

Ye Xuan looked at the dark sky above him. There was no light at all, and he felt that the black fog was thicker than before. It shrouded the secret realm and became a lingering shadow.

“I’m afraid the situation isn’t good.”
