Chapter 159: It’s too Late to Regret It

Before the communication was completely cut off, Shen Changling contacted Mo Jianming. He should have noticed that something was wrong at the first moment.

With Mo Jianming’s sharp senses, it was impossible for him not to do anything. Now that there was no news after a few days, it was either that Mo Jianming had encountered some obstacles, or that the people outside were still unclear about the situation here.

Ye Xuan thought that the current situation was a result of both reasons, and the facts proved that it was similar to his guess. By the time the seven great sects realized it, it was already too late.

The thick black fog in the secret realm finally affected the outside world.

The grand elders outside the secret realm felt a cold and evil aura hit them in the face. They suddenly opened their eyes, which emitted rays of light.

“What an evil aura. Where did these demons come from?”

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that it was actually coming from the secret realm.

This kind of aura was too strange and ominous. Even the grand elders had never seen it before. Even the demonic cultivators who were hated by everyone did not have such power.

“Did something happen in the secret realm? Why is there such a strange black fog?”

Logically speaking, this secret realm was related to Penglai Immortal Island. It was impossible for an immortal-related thing to have such an evil aura. If things were abnormal, there must be a demon.

Now that it was reflected out to the outside world, one could imagine how huge the black fog was in the secret realm. It was impossible for those disciples to not notice it.

It was too strange that no one in the secret realm sent a message.

“Hurry up and contact them. Ask them what happened in the secret realm.”

However, the disciple quickly ran back to report the situation. He reported, “I can’t contact Senior Brother. All the messages have been like rocks sinking into the sea. There’s no response.”

It wasn’t just the Yaochi Holy Land, but the Heaven Sect, Infinity Sect, and the Dao Seeking Sect were also in the same situation.

Everyone looked at each other and realized that something was wrong.

If it wasn’t for something big happening in the secret realm, it would be impossible for everyone to lose contact with the outside world. One or two could be considered a coincidence, but with everyone here, it made the situation seem serious.

“Hurry up and see if there’s anything strange about their life tokens!”

“Nothing unusual.”

Upon hearing this, the grand elders heaved a sigh of relief. These disciples’ life tokens were guarded day and night, and they would be informed immediately if there were any changes.

After all, those who entered the secret realm were the sect’s core disciples or direct disciples. They were the future pillars of the sect. If there were heavy casualties, it would affect the sect’s future development.

That was why they attached so much importance to it.

“Fortunately, they are safe and sound. I think the loss of contact this time was just an accident. Perhaps it was because of the instability of space.”

The moment he finished speaking, an angry rebuking was heard, “You guys are so muddleheaded!”

Mo Jianming descended from the sky, holding the life tokens of all the disciples in his hand.

The grand elders’ expression was a little displeased. One of them asked, “Elder Mo, what are you doing?”

Mo Jianming sneered and threw these life tokens on the ground, “Open your eyes and look carefully!”

“How audacious of you!”

Such an action was undoubtedly an insult to them, and the Dao Seeking Sect’s grand elder immediately launched an attack.

“Mo Jianming, don’t cross the line. Not only did you steal my disciples’ life tokens, you even humiliated them like this. Do you even have any respect for my sect?”

What answered him was Mo Jianming’s piercingly cold sword Qi. It was like a hot knife through butter and simply unstoppable.

The grand elder of the Dao Seeking Sect suddenly retreated. His eyes were dark like water but when he realized that the sword Qi was going for the life tokens on the ground, he could no longer suppress his anger.

“You!”

Before he could finish his words, Mo Jianming cast a sidelong glance at him and said, “Your disciples are about to die. Just wait to collect their corpses.”

When the others heard this, they were furious. Wasn’t this a clear curse? They subconsciously wanted to refute, “What nonsense are you talking about here? They’re clearly doing fine, even their life tokens-”

Then, everyone looked down and was stunned.

A large portion of the life tokens on the ground was wrapped in black Qi.

The righteous sword Qi was originally the nemesis of this extreme Yin and evil power. Now that Mo Jianming had made his move, the black Qi had nowhere to hide and was visually exposed to everyone.

Without the disguise, the Yin power came again, exactly the same as what they felt just now.

“W-what’s going on?”

The people from the other sects were dumbfounded. Although the life tokens were still intact, the current situation did not mean that the life token’s owner was safe.

If they were entangled by this kind of power, they would either die or be crippled. It was only a matter of time before the lord of death, Yama King, summoned them.

“Do you still think they are safe and sound?”

Although Mo Jianming didn’t know what had happened in the secret realm, he could tell from the situation of these life tokens that it wasn’t good.

What surprised him was that the life tokens of the disciples of the other sects, such as the Yaochi Holy Land, the Heaven Sect, and the Dao Seeking Sect, were more or less contaminated with this black Qi.

Only the disciples of the Sword Sect had not been affected, which made him feel more at ease.

“I told you earlier that there was a change in the secret realm and that we should open it early, but you didn’t listen and insisted on doing things your way!”

“Now is not the time to talk about this. Let’s hurry up and open the secret realm.”

The other sects realized that something was wrong, and they sent their grand elders to each of the four directions, injecting vast amounts of spiritual power into the secret realm.

An invisible force surged into the air, and the door that was previously hidden became faintly visible again.
