Chapter 214: Chaos Rising

Chen An didn't have much hope of leaving through the external branch of Haoshan Sect.Since the group behind Wei Li and Song Qing was acting like this, it was obvious that they were planning to make a move soon.

And it was probably going to be fast.

It was estimated that before the external task came down, Haoshan Sect had already encountered changes.

So he just tried it out and didn't pin his hopes on it.

"If it really doesn't work, I'll just have to force my way in."

Walking on the way back, Chen An thought to himself.

The defense array of Haoshan Sect was indeed quite troublesome. Without the token, it would likely alarm the cultivators of Haoshan Sect and cause a commotion.

Usually, Chen An wouldn't do this.

But when the cultivators of the devil path made a move, the situation was different.

By that time, the two forces were fighting inside Haoshan Sect, and they probably wouldn't have the energy to deal with others.

When Chen An left at that time, even if Haoshan Sect discovered it, they probably wouldn't have the time to deal with him.

It would still achieve the goal.

"That's fine."

As he walked past a crossroad, Chen An turned to look at the inner mountain of Haoshan Sect, muttering to himself, "Let's take a look and see what happens that night."

He was actually curious about what would happen that night.

If he could leave directly, that would be great, but since he couldn't for the time being, he might as well take advantage of the situation and see what would happen that night.

He felt that it would definitely be lively.

He expected the scene not to disappoint him.

Chen An was looking forward to it.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, several days had passed.

During these days, there was often a faint magic energy lingering above Haoshan Sect, but it was very subtle.

At least in Chen An's perception, it was like this, and it was not easily observed without careful observation.

Even he, probably others were the same.

The strongest cultivator on the surface of Haoshan Sect was the Haoshan Sect Master at the Golden Core stage, and it was normal for him not to be aware.

Haoshan Sect appeared calm on the surface, as if everything was normal, without any changes.

But an undercurrent was already surging, just waiting to erupt.

On the day of the outbreak, this force would probably attract attention.

Finally, that day arrived.

"Kill!"

In the middle of the night, there were bursts of howls in the sky above Haoshan Sect.

A roar sounded from the sky, and then the entire inner mountain of Haoshan Sect exploded.

Terrifying power emanated, and looking up, the sky was filled with vast runes, shining here.

These were Daoist runes, each representing the mysteries of heaven and earth, containing a great power.

And at this moment, all these runes flew, and finally exploded inside Haoshan Sect.

Boom!

The powerful force shook, a terrifying aura spread, directly spreading in all directions.

Almost in an instant, the defense array of Haoshan Sect trembled, then fell silent.

The entire Haoshan Sect was protected by the defense array. If someone wanted to attack Haoshan Sect, no matter from which direction, this protective array would be a huge problem.

So to address this issue, the group of people acted accurately.

As soon as they made a move, they targeted the core of Haoshan Sect.

That place was none other than the core of the defense array.

Under such an attack, the terrifying power shockingly seemed to have quickly made the defense array of Haoshan Sect fall silent, unable to play its original role and effect.

Clearly, those who made this move were very clear-headed.

No matter how strong the array was, it was ultimately controlled by people.

As long as one or two key points were affected, causing problems within the cultivators responsible for the array, with internal and external forces acting together, even a strong defense array like the one in Haoshan Sect couldn't function as intended.

This also indicated that Haoshan Sect was in a really bad state.

For the devil cultivators to find the core of the defense array so accurately, there must have been a traitor, and a core-level one at that.

It's possible that not just one elder had defected within Haoshan Sect, in order to achieve the current effect.

And the move they made was huge.

"Respectful Elder's Artifact."

Standing alone in place, feeling the aura spreading in the sky, Chen An couldn't help but sigh, "Truly a huge move."

The so-called Elder's Artifact was something he had seen before.

That was when he was in the holy sage's secret realm, and at that time, two people had pulled up the ladder of the sky, successfully drawing down two Elder's artifacts from the Heavenly Pillar.

However, at that time, those two individuals were limited by their cultivation, and couldn't fully unleash the power of the Elder's artifacts, only feeling their extraordinary aura.

And now, the display of this Elder's artifact was truly extraordinary.

With one strike, the entire Haoshan Sect was shaken, and the powerful aura seemed to be able to stir up the galaxy, effortlessly obliterating everything in this world.

Chen An was sure that if the defense array hadn't been there to protect it, the blow just now would probably have been enough to flatten the entire Haoshan Sect, and most of the cultivators would probably have perished.

This was the power of an Elder's Artifact, at the top of cultivators.

But it was just one strike.

After that strike, the Elder's Artifact seemed to have exhausted its power, and the runes on it quickly dimmed, and the overbearing Elder's aura that filled the surroundings also retracted, disappearing.

Was this Elder's Artifact only capable of one strike?

"Damaged Artifact?"

Through keen perception, Chen An saw the appearance of the Elder's Artifact, a broken large bell.

The bell was red-gold in color, covered with cracks, and with runes dancing on its surface, exuding a dizzying aura.

What was most eye-catching was that the bell was covered in cracks and missing many fragments, not a complete artifact.

Obviously, this was a damaged Elder's Artifact, but it already had such power.

Truly terrifying.

Chen An sighed in his heart, and then couldn't help but think of the White Tower in his body.

Just a damaged Elder's Artifact had such power when unleashed.

What if it was a complete Elder's Artifact?

Or what about the White Tower in his body?

Although it hadn't shown much power yet, Chen An speculated that the White Tower in his body was probably far superior to an Elder's Artifact, not just acting as a large space bag.

It's just that he didn't know how much power the White Tower would exhibit once it awakens.

Chen An was quite looking forward to it.

But anticipation aside, what was important was the present.

With the appearance of the Elder's Artifact, the Haoshan Sect defense array was brought down in one blow, losing most of its power.

And this battle had finally entered a critical moment.

"Ning Ming, meet your end!"

In the inner mountain of Haoshan Sect, a roar rang out, echoing through the entire Haoshan Sect.

There was a hidden divine power in it, as well as a crazy demonic aura soaring into the sky.

The vast magic energy was no longer hidden, rushing straight into the sky, covering the entire sky of Haoshan Sect.

Chen An's heart stirred.

Ning Ming, the name represented none other than the current Sect Master of Haoshan Sect.

It seemed that the group of devil cultivators had finally made their move.

From the fluctuations, Chen An could sense that the strength of this devil cultivator was quite strong.

When he roared, his aura made even Chen An feel wary, his strength definitely surpassing Chen An's.

"At least at the Golden Core Late stage."

Chen An whispered to himself, a thought flashing through his mind.

Before, in the holy sage's secret realm, Chen An had tested his own strength.

The realm was filled with Golden Core beasts that were not inferior to Golden Core cultivators.

After a series of battles, Chen An probably had a judgment on his own strength.

Although he was only in the early Xiantian stage, his combat power was not bad. Even facing higher-level beasts, he could still fight.

With his Frozen Miles Technique, even if he was facing a Golden Core Late stage cultivator, he could still put up a fight.

Of course, it was just a desperate fight.

When it came down to it, with just one move, he was definitely not an opponent.

The devil cultivator leading the attack on Haoshan Sect at this moment was undoubtedly stronger than Chen An.

However, that alone wasn't enough.

Chen An looked up at the inner mountain of Haoshan Sect, watching the burning fires within, and silently had this thought in his mind.

This devil cultivator was indeed powerful, but Chen An believed that there wouldn't be too many cultivators with such strength in this battle.

Moreover, Haoshan Sect was not to be trifled with, and the sect master's strength was also formidable.

When two tigers fight, there probably wouldn't be time to deal with him.

"It's time to leave."

Gazing at the fires burning in the distance, Chen An silently stood up, ready to leave.

He had already packed up everything, and even if there were some things left, they were mostly just odds and ends, not worth much.

The servants in the residence had been dismissed a few days ago, given a dismissal fee, so he should have no problem with his future life.

It was time to leave.

Chen An left his residence and walked towards the outer area of Haoshan Sect.

Normally, his actions would definitely be noticed.

But with the silence of the defense array and the key areas being fiercely attacked by the devil cultivators, there was no one who could pay attention to Chen An's actions.

Or even if they noticed, they wouldn't have the energy to care about him.

This also meant that Chen An's actions went extremely smoothly.

He left his residence and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain.

As long as he crossed this area, it would no longer be within the range covered by the defense array of Haoshan Sect.

He could leave.

"It seems there's still some reaction."

Feeling the reactions of the defense arrays around him, Chen An frowned.

He found that although the defense array was mostly silent, there still seemed to be a powerful force lurking, not completely paralyzed.

So he decided to wait a little longer.

Chen An was not in a hurry.

The defense array was still running, with a strong force, but he believed in the ability of those devil cultivators.

As time passed, the confrontation between the devil cultivators and the cultivators of Haoshan Sect became more intense. By then, there would definitely be no one left to maintain the defense array.

It was just a matter of wasting a little more time.

Chen An could afford to wait.

Sure enough, only a few hours later, the runes of the defense array before him quickly dimmed, and the divine power that supported its operation was rapidly depleting.
