Thousands of heads were chopped off.
That scene was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the crowd and became an indelible image.
The cultivators clenched their fists even tighter. Some glared at the Fiendcelestial Cult disciples, while others could not bear to look at them.
Finally, someone couldn't help but speak up and wail.
"Why? Why did this happen? Why did the capital of Wei Nation suddenly fall? Aren't there powerhouses of the Ten Nations? Are there no true powerhouses in Wei Nation? "
"Yeah, even if the Fiendcelestial Cult launched a surprise attack, why did this happen? Where are the array formations? Where are the powerhouses of the Ten Nations? "
"Are we still in the illusory array? Why do I keep feeling like this is unreal? "
At this point, there were still cultivators who thought that they had fallen into the illusory array.
After all, many things were too unrealistic and there were many loopholes.
"Yeah, where are the powerhouses of the Ten Nations?"
"Are there no powerhouses in Wei Nation?"
"How can the Nascent Soul realm powerhouses not detect the Fiendcelestial Cult's sudden attack? This doesn't make sense! "
Someone in the crowd spoke up. In such an oppressive situation, there would always be a group of people who liked to complain and yell angrily.
Their voices caused some cultivators to frown, but most of them were indeed curious and felt that there was nothing wrong with what they said.
However, at this moment …
A figure appeared in the array formation.
It was a middle-aged man who was dull and ordinary, but he exuded an extremely terrifying aura.
When he appeared there, an indescribable aura spread out and all the cultivators in the array formation fell silent.
Even the ordinary people knew that he was extremely extraordinary.
It was a Nascent Soul realm powerhouse, a genuine Nascent Soul realm powerhouse. However, he was not a powerhouse of the Wei Nation but an elder of the Ten Nations Academy.
He remained silent and instead came to the first cultivator who complained.
The first cultivator to complain was a young man who was a little angry previously. Besides, he felt that there was something fishy about the matter, so he spoke up.
However, as the powerhouse of the Ten Nations Academy walked over step by step, the latter panicked and even lowered his head, not daring to look at the other party.
"What did you say just now?"
The middle-aged man appeared in front of him and asked calmly without any anger or reprimand.
However, a Nascent Soul powerhouse, even if they didn't use any spirit qi, could still give people an indescribable sense of oppression. This kind of oppression made people's souls tremble.
He didn't dare to speak, and his body trembled uncontrollably. He lowered his head and didn't even have the courage to look directly at this Nascent Soul cultivator.
"What did you just say?"
The original leveled cultivator's voice rose again. His gaze was extremely calm, but his voice still made people feel fear.
"Me! Me! … "
The cultivator stuttered. He didn't know what to say or how to answer.
However, the cultivator standing next to him could not help but speak.
"Elder, are there no experts in the Wei Country?"
The cultivator voiced out the doubt in his heart.
"Including the Ten Nations Academy, there are 65 Nascent Soul realm cultivators and one Essence Soul realm cultivator."
The other party opened his mouth and said the specific number.
As soon as he said that, the latter could not help but speak up.
"There were sixty-five Nascent Soul cultivators and one Primordial Soul cultivator. How did they end up like this?"
"This shouldn't be the case."
The cultivator took a deep breath and then said that while staring at the Nascent Soul realm cultivator. He felt that with so many powerhouses, such a situation shouldn't have happened.
He was not the only one. Many cultivators couldn't help but look at the elder with curiosity in their eyes.
'Yes, with so many powerhouses around, why did such a thing happen? No matter how strong the disciples of the Fiendcelestial Cult are, they shouldn't have ended up like this, right?'
However, the Nascent Soul realm cultivator humphed coldly and stared at the crowd. In an instant, everyone fell silent.
The reason they dared to speak up was because they were a little angry, but as the Nascent Soul realm elder humphed coldly, the confidence in their hearts immediately vanished because they also understood that the powerhouses of the Wei Nation and the Ten Nations would not leave them alone.
They would definitely attack if they could.
However, they could not understand.
"Do you guys think that with so many powerhouses, how can we be attacked by the Fiendcelestial Cult? Even if the Fiendcelestial Cult attacked, the Wei Nation can't be breached so easily, right? "
He looked at many cultivators with an extremely cold gaze. In an instant, all the cultivators fell silent and lowered their heads. However, that was indeed what they meant.
However, in the next moment, the Nascent Soul realm powerhouse continued to speak.
"You guys are really sheltered and you've really underestimated the Fiendcelestial Cult."
"Do you think the Fiendcelestial Cult attacked the Wei Nation on the spur of the moment?"
"They have long colluded with some treacherous officials of the Wei Nation, and at the critical moment, they directly destroyed the array formation of the Wei Nation with an evil object. Besides, the Fiendcelestial Cult has been preparing for this attack for more than ten years."
"The Fiendcelestial Cult has three major immortal artifacts, namely the Ten Thousand Fiend Banner, the Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram, and the All-Immortals Devourer. They activated the Ten Thousand Fiend Banner outside and slaughtered cultivators and commoners in order to continuously absorb resentment for the Ten Thousand Fiend Banner. They even sacrificed themselves to the Ten Thousand Fiend Banner to form the Ten Thousand Fiend Domain."
"If you guys have the guts, go outside and take a look. The Wei Nation army outside the city is desperately resisting the Fiendcelestial Cult's attack!"
"The Ten Thousand Fiend Domain has perfectly suppressed us cultivators, and what's more terrifying is that the Fiendcelestial Cult has shielded the entire capital of the Wei Nation with the Heavenly Fiend Ancient Diagram. What does this mean? It means that we can't even send a message out. "
The elder of the Ten Nations Academy cursed angrily.
He was extremely infuriated.
"Are you guys curious why the 65 Nascent Soul realm powerhouses didn't go to protect you?"
"30% of the Nascent Soul realm powerhouses are killing the enemies outside, while 30% of the Nascent Soul realm powerhouses are trying their best to escape from the Wei Nation to send a message, hoping that the Ten Nations Academy can receive the news and call for reinforcements."
"The remaining 40% of the Nascent Soul realm powerhouses are inside the array formation. Do you know what they are doing inside the array formation? What are they trying their best to construct the array formation for? It's for the sake of teleporting you away and preserving the flame! "
The voice of the elder of the Ten Nations became louder and louder, and in the end, it was deafening.
His eyes were full of anger.
"Most of you are geniuses from all over the world. I originally thought that as geniuses, you would know more, but I didn't expect you to think too simply."
"The Fiendcelestial Cult has been preparing for the attack for more than ten years, but in your eyes, the Fiendcelestial Cult really did it on a whim!"
"They worked together from the inside and caught us off guard, but if it's a battle between powerhouses, we won't be afraid at all. But why are we in a passive position? It's because of you guys. "
"We want to protect you, we want to protect you. If it weren't for the sake of protecting the flame, how could they have broken into the capital so quickly if we were to fight to the death?"
"Among the 72 Earthly Fiends of the Fiendcelestial Cult, there are seven Nascent Soul realm powerhouses, 36 Heavenly Spirits, 36 Nascent Soul realm cultivators, 12 Vajras, four Netherworld Kings, and the deputy sect master of the Wei Nation."
"Outside the capital, there are less than 20 Nascent Soul realm powerhouses fighting with them, and the cultivators who have gone to deliver the message are even more tragic. They are almost risking their lives to deliver the message, and so far, seven Nascent Soul realm cultivators have already died."
"Let me ask you guys, how should we fight this battle?"
At the end of his words, he hollered and questioned the few cultivators who were full of complaints.
At this moment, it was much quieter in the array formation, and no one spoke anymore. Indeed, they didn't think too much.
They were a little too panicked, and most people liked to escape as they felt that many things were the fault of others and they were always right.
However, after hearing the elder's words, everyone completely understood.
In the array formation.
Ye Ping completely agreed with what the elder said.
The Fiendcelestial Cult definitely did not plan to attack the Wei Nation in a day or two, and they had been planning for more than ten years.
After all, one was in the open while the other was in the dark.
Besides, if they worked together with the ministers of Wei Nation, they would indeed be able to catch them off guard.
Besides, the Fiendcelestial Cult had predicted that the powerhouses of the Wei Nation and the Ten Nations would protect the elites, so they wouldn't attack with all their troops.
In that case, they would definitely suffer a huge loss.
In fact, Ye Ping could guess that it was not that no one proposed to attack with all their troops and fight the Fiendcelestial Cult head-on.
However, the biggest problem was, who would dare to bear the responsibility?
The Fiendcelestial Cult had been plotting for decades, and even if they mobilized all their troops, as long as a Nascent Soul realm cultivator rushed into the city, the consequences would be dire.
Besides, the ministers of Wei Nation had already rebelled and the Fiendcelestial Cult would definitely be able to enter the capital.
Hence, the powerhouses of the Wei Nation and the Ten Nations only had two choices.
First, stop killing by killing! No matter how many sacrifices they had to make, they had to fight their way out and defeat the Fiendcelestial Cult.
Two, delay! They did their best to stall for time and escort the genius away. At the same time, they sent people out to spread the news and wait for reinforcements.
These were the only two solutions. After all, no one would have thought that the Demonic Church would launch a surprise attack. The higher the realm of the cultivator, the more important things they had to do.
Hence, it was impossible for them to send a Tribulation Transcendence powerhouse to guard the Ten Nations Grand Tournament.
In fact, there was only one point.
A surprise attack!
This was similar to a blitzkrieg. What the other party wanted was to take down the Yan Kingdom as quickly as possible so that they could obtain bargaining chips to negotiate with the Great Xia Dynasty.
At this time, they were lacking a bold and courageous expert.
However, if it were him, Ye Ping would not be able to make the most accurate response at the fastest speed.
Was it to protect him or to fight a bloody battle?
In the case of a bloody battle, a large number of geniuses would definitely be sacrificed.
No one could bear that responsibility. If all the geniuses of the Ten Nations were to die there, it would be the greatest shame of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Fiendcelestial Cult would become even more arrogant.
The cultivator who gave the order would also have to bear eternal infamy.
Hence, that was the root cause of the impasse.
At this moment, no one spoke anymore.
Everyone was silent. The cultivators who were complaining just now had all become obedient at this moment.
"Now, what else do you guys want to say?"
The Nascent Soul realm powerhouse continued to ask.
However, no one in the array formation spoke anymore.
At this moment, a figure hurried over.
"Lord, the Teleportation Array has been set up, you can teleport at any time."
The person who came looked at the Nascent Soul realm powerhouse respectfully.
The latter spoke slowly.
"How many have been set up? How many people can be teleported away at a time?"
He asked calmly.
"Lord, there are a total of ten. Each array formation is controlled by two Nascent Soul realm cultivators, and each array formation can teleport 10,000 people at a time. The interval between each array formation is 15 minutes."
That was his answer.
In fact, those words were meant for the disciples in the array formation.
"Okay, start making arrangements now and try to teleport all the disciples in the array formation out."
The Nascent Soul realm powerhouse nodded and then looked at the crowd before speaking slowly.
"The Teleportation Array has been set up, but each teleportation can only escort 100,000 people away. Only 800,000 people can be teleported away in two hours."
"According to the current situation, we can only hold on for about four hours at most. In other words, only 1.6 million people can be teleported away."
"The students of the various academies have priority! Those who have reached the Foundation Establishment realm before the age of 20 have priority! Those who have reached the Golden Core realm before the age of 100 have priority! The rest of you wait quietly! "
However, his words caused the expressions of many cultivators to change greatly.
'Only 1.6 million cultivators can be teleported out? '
In the Wei Nation, there were about 70 to 80 million cultivators, not including the commoners. There were less than 5,000 students in the Ten Nations Academy, and there were not many geniuses from all over the world. There were not many who met the priority conditions either.
There might not even be 100,000, but what about the rest?
What did it mean to wait quietly?
To wait quietly for death?
"Senior, 1.6 million people is simply like trying to put out a cart of firewood with a cup of water. We … won't we all die here?"
"Yes, Senior, how can the efficiency of the array formation set up by a Nascent Soul realm powerhouse be so slow?"
The voices filled the air. In the face of the fear of death, no one could remain calm, especially the ordinary people.
"Silence!"
The voices were extremely chaotic. The Nascent Soul powerhouse spoke loudly, instantly suppressing all the noise.
"I've made it clear enough. The Fiendcelestial Cult launched a surprise attack and first destroyed the array formation. They then used the ancient map to affect this area, making it impossible to activate the array formation."
"It's already the limit to be able to set up an array formation that can teleport 10,000 people in 15 minutes. No matter what, there will be casualties during this surprise attack."
"Let the students of the various academies leave first, then let the geniuses of the various districts leave. The remaining places will be decided by drawing lots."
"Moreover! The Wei Nation army outside the city is fighting outside and all the powerhouses are resisting the Fiendcelestial Cult disciples with their bodies of flesh and blood. Most of you are disciples of the orthodox sects. "
"You're immortal cultivators. You're watching this group of diabolic cultivators kill your fellow Daoists and humiliate the human race, yet you're indifferent and only know how to survive. I'm afraid this is the extent of your Dao Heart."
At this point, he clenched his fists.
In fact, he was furious. There were tens of millions of cultivators in Wei Nation, but they were being chased by millions of Fiendcelestial Cult disciples.
Be it geniuses or ordinary cultivators, they panicked when they saw the Fiendcelestial Cult disciples. They could clearly defeat them, but they died because of their cowardice and fear.
They were like flowers in a greenhouse.
They had been living in peace for a long time and did not experience any hardships. They were usually competitive in the sect, but when they encountered real trouble, they were scared out of their wits. That was indeed disappointing.
All the cultivators fell silent again.
No one dared to say anything anymore.
Silence.
Depression.
Despair.
All sorts of emotions spread out.
At this moment, Huangfu Tianlong wanted to take a step forward, but he was pulled back by Ye Ping.
Ye Ping shook his head gently. He knew what Huangfu Tianlong wanted to do.
Huangfu Tianlong wanted to go out and fight fiercely.
He was the best elite of Nan Nation and he had pride and vigor.
However, the reason why Ye Ping stopped him was very simple.
The outcome had been decided. What was done could not be undone.
Ever since the Fiendcelestial Cult launched a surprise attack, the powerhouses of the Wei Nation and the Ten Nations Academy had already fallen into the Fiendcelestial Cult's trap.
If the powerhouses of the Wei Nation and the Ten Nations Academy had fought to the end fearlessly from the beginning, they would have a chance of survival.
However, in the end, no one dared to bear the responsibility. Hence, they were now in a passive position for the sake of teleporting the geniuses of the various nations.
Besides, they were in an extremely passive position.
It was not impossible to go out and fight.
However, there were powerhouses waiting for everyone in the dark. Hence, they couldn't be rash at this moment and had to stay calm.
The best solution was to survive and remember this scene. They would never forget it and take revenge for everyone.
"Dignitaries of the various nations, hurry up and come!"
At this moment, a voice spread from inside the South City Gate, telling the dignitaries and cultivators of the various nations to quickly gather and leave first.
That was a little strange. Why were the dignitaries of the various nations asked to leave first?
Theoretically speaking, shouldn't the geniuses be asked to leave first?
However, everyone soon understood that the dignitaries of the various nations were the rulers of the Ten Nations and their lives were indeed more important.
At this moment, many people walked towards the South City Gate.
Seeing that Li Yu was not moving, Ye Ping couldn't help but speak up.
"Why are you still here?"
Ye Ping asked.
"Master, I'll leave with you."
Li Yu said, not intending to leave first.
"Leave if you can. Remember to contact Eldest Senior Brother immediately after you go out. If he can come, he can calm the chaos with a sword."
Ye Ping told Li Yu to leave first.
As long as Li Yu left and he could inform Su Changyu, everything would be fine.
After all, when Su Changyu came, even ten Fiendcelestial Cultists would not be able to withstand a single sword strike from him.
That was Ye Ping's confidence.
He was inexplicably confident.
"Alright."
Li Yu didn't try to be pretentious. He understood what Ye Ping meant, so he nodded and turned around to leave.
After Li Yu left …
Not long after, the news came.
Half of the first batch of Teleportation Arrays were given to the dignitaries of the Ten Nations, while the other half were given to some ordinary cultivators. After all, directly teleporting those geniuses might cause some public anger.
That was the human heart. Sometimes, it was funny and infuriating.
At this moment, Ye Ping couldn't help but sigh.
The sudden attack was indeed a little worrying.
Huangfu Tianlong, who was at the side, was also silent.
Who would have thought that the Ten Nations Grand Tournament would suddenly turn out like this?
Seven minutes passed.
Thick spiritual energy suddenly filled the air, and in the next moment, ten beams of light appeared and disappeared in the sky. It was a teleportation.
In the array formation of the South City Gate, countless pairs of eyes were filled with envy and jealousy.
Ye Ping raised his head and looked at the sky, seemingly thinking about something.
However, all of a sudden …
Ye Ping suddenly froze and then exclaimed.
"Oh no!"
He seemed to have thought of something as his face suddenly became extremely sullen.
Indeed.
At this moment …
Boom! Boom!
The terrifying roars sounded like meteorites falling from the sky. Ten colorful mushroom clouds appeared in the sky.
At this moment, everyone fell silent.
