The hearts of everyone present shook violently when they saw this elder die just like that.
Most importantly, they had no idea what this thing was.
Just then, the flowing light moved and flew into the sky again. Everywhere it went, everyone moved out of the way.
One of the elders of the Sleep Sect was fat and slow. He didn't look like he was good at dodging. Seeing the flowing light rush over, he shouted and a layer of blood silk armor appeared on his body. This was a blood armor that he collected from many monsters. Even if he fought with monsters, he could block a few attacks.
The ray of light hit his chest in an instant, and his body trembled. However, when he looked carefully, he found that there was nothing wrong with his body. He was overjoyed, but just a moment later, he saw a greyish white color spread out, and his entire body turned into a jade statue. Then, like the person before him, he turned into a pile of rubble on the ground.
The flowing light turned and suddenly flew to another place. The person standing there looked like he was in a dream. Seeing it fly over, he snorted and his body suddenly turned into an illusion.
He was an elder of the Sleep Sect. He only needed to use a secret technique to escape into the dream. All that was left was an illusion. Normally, this could avoid all attacks from the real world.
But when the flowing light shot behind the illusion, he suddenly froze. Then, his expression turned into fear.
He found that he was forcefully pulled out of the dream. In just one or two breaths, he also turned into a pile of broken jade on the ground.
Everyone who saw this scene was shocked. They all knew about the abilities of the Mian Clan. This clan only had one bloodline, but not only could they travel back and forth between the real world and the illusory world, they could also pull out monsters that were far more powerful than they were capable of. Speaking of which, this bloodline was somewhat similar to the Qing Nu bloodline of the Ling family's mistress, but the transformation of the bloodline was much more profound.
But they didn't think that even such a person could not avoid the attack of this thing even after entering the dream world.
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked. If they were hit by this thing, they would probably end up the same way.
Luckily, this thing didn't fly very fast. They believed that as long as they moved fast enough, they would not be touched by it.
Seeing this, Sima Quan knew that reinforcements had come from the spell altar. He calmed down. This way, he would have more confidence in coming down and attacking.
He observed for a while and found that most of the people were restless, so it was time to attack.
Thus, with a single thought, a gloomy and gloomy shadow immediately emerged from the demon body. It was as if another version of himself had walked out. With just a few steps forward, it easily entered Chu Heng's body, and the latter did not even notice it at all.
In reality, he could deal with several targets at the same time, but he sensed that there seemed to be some kind of hidden change in these people's bodies, so he only focused on one. It wouldn't be too late to deal with the others after he figured out the real reason.
At this moment, he continued to delve deeper into this person's soul, wanting to devour and digest this thing. However, at this moment, he came into contact with an obscure consciousness, which seemed to be connected to the infinite void behind it. He immediately realized that this was the source of the thing he had sensed Just Now.
Just when he was about to take a closer look, the clone suddenly disappeared. It was difficult to tell if it had fallen or been devoured by the consciousness.
Sima Quan's expression became somewhat serious. He knew that this was definitely not a power that this person possessed. The strength of that consciousness was far above this person's, and it was definitely not something that this person could control.
Just Now, it gave him the feeling that this person's essence, Qi, and soul already belonged to someone else. Right now, it was only being used by someone else. As long as he could not suppress the person behind the scenes with absolute strength, then he would not be able to take it back.
This situation did not appear when the people of the six sects used their techniques Just Now. It could be seen that these people who returned to Jade Star's Upper Palace were different from the natives here.
However, there was no way to take over the soul, but that did not mean that he had no other methods.
He could not devour the soul, but he could erode the essence and reduce the other's lifespan. Even if he could not kill the person in one go, he could still reduce the person's battle strength to the minimum.
Moreover, all of this was done invisibly. By the time the target finally reacted, it would already be too late.
At that moment, in the field, the flowing light saw that it could not reach the many elders, so it turned around and suddenly went down. It rushed into the midst of the monsters and passed through them at an incredible speed.
These monsters were even more defenseless than the elders. As long as they were touched, they would immediately turn into jade and fall from the sky. The swarm of insects gradually increased, and in almost no time, the situation of one side being suppressed had been reversed.
Peng Xiang stood in the formation and took out a jade jar. His figure flashed and he absorbed the turbid yin qi into his body, replenishing the deficit that he had consumed Just Now.
Although the jade plate looked invincible, it was actually not that easy for him to use it. After all, he had just obtained it and had not had the time to truly refine it. Therefore, it used up a lot of mana, so he could take a defensive position. On one side, he was accumulating power, and on the other, he was looking for an opportunity.
At this moment, he opened his mouth and asked, "I can sense that someone is making a move outside Just Now. Is it Spiritual Master Sima?"
Zhang Chan said, "It is Sect Leader Sima."
Peng Xiang said, "With this person supporting us from the outside, it can reduce a lot of pressure on us. How long until this spell altar is completely built?"
Hua Ying Ling said, "About seven or eight days. To ensure safety, it cannot be any shorter."
Peng Xiang said, "Then we will have to defend for seven or eight days?"
Zhang Chan said, "Peng Xiang, with your and Sect Leader Sima's power, can you delay for so long?"
Peng Xiang replied, "It's hard to say. If it's just these people, even if we can't kill them, it's not hard to delay them. But it's very likely that unpredictable accidents will happen, so it's better to prepare for any eventualities."
He thought that if there was a great being behind these natives, they wouldn't let things go so smoothly on their side. They would definitely use some kind of method to interfere.
Above the sea, the elders watched as the flowing light circled around the sea below, as though it was protecting this area. Their expressions became even uglier.
How should they deal with this thing?
Just Now, as they dodged, they tried many methods, but they couldn't do anything to this thing. Also, as long as this thing was blocking in front of them, they couldn't do anything to the sea below. Even if they used all kinds of bloodline secret arts to attack below, it would come over and disturb them. If they weren't careful, they could be hit by this flowing light and become a pile of shattered jade.
Just as Wen Zhu and the others were thinking of a countermeasure, a disciple reported from below, "Elder Wen, the sect leaders of the five sects have arrived."
Wen Zhu's expression brightened slightly, and he said, "Quickly invite them up."
In a short while, the sect leaders and elders of Sleep Sect, Evil Yang Blood Sect, Life Taking Blood Sect, Crimson Border Blood Sect, and Dragon Sect all arrived.
In an instant, there were nearly twenty more people with combat power. Although among them, only the sect leaders of the five sects could compare to the elders from the Jade Star Upper Palace, and the other clan leaders were slightly inferior and had never participated in the Void Ritual Offering, they were still more useful than those monsters.
After the people of the Five Sects greeted Wen Zhu and the others, they stood together. At this moment, their expressions were the same as usual, and nothing strange could be seen. However, in reality, all of their souls had been taken over by Sima Quan. Not only could he hear everything that was said here clearly, when it was necessary, he only needed to give the order, and he could immediately move and attack the people around him.
However, Sima Quan thought that this kind of method should be used at a more critical moment, so he had not used it yet.
Wen Zhu said to everyone, "That flowing light is very difficult to deal with. If we don't move this thing away, we can only do nothing to the people inside, let alone destroy that altar. Does anyone have any suggestions?"
Yu Muli said, "There's only one way, and that is to ask the Void Mother."
Wen Zhu sighed, and said, "Elder Yu's suggestion might be a solution, but we don't have enough offerings."
Yu Muli said in a low voice, "We don't need monsters, as long as it's living beings or blood descendants."
Wen Zhu's eyes narrowed, as if he had thought of something.
Yu Muli continued, "The living beings of one realm should be enough. The Jade Star Upper Palace controls dozens of realms, big and small. If we only need to sacrifice one realm to solve the problem at hand, then it's worth it. "
Wen Zhu had already agreed in his heart, but he still said, "The other elders may very well object."
At this moment, Chu Heng shouted, "When necessary, do what must be done. This time, we have ten elders here, if no one objects, then there's nothing wrong with it."
The Upper Palace was controlled by nineteen elders, including them. As long as they all agreed, it would be more than half, and it would be reasonable even if it was against the rules.
Sima Quan heard it clearly, but he didn't know what it was. He guessed that it had something to do with the ball of darkness hidden in his divine soul, and that it might really be able to change the situation at hand. He felt that it was a pity. If he could control Chu Heng's mind, he would be able to make him strongly object. Even if he couldn't ruin the matter, he could at least delay it.
After Wen Zhu asked everyone one by one, and seeing that no one objected, he decided to sacrifice the living beings of one realm to seek a solution from the Void Mother. However, this wasn't something that could be done in one or two days, so he temporarily stopped attacking and only sent monsters over to increase the pressure on the formation.
After receiving Sima Quan's message, Zhang Chan and the others knew that the other side wouldn't make any big moves in the short term, but when they did attack again, it would definitely be far stronger than before. Whether they succeeded or failed depended on this.
They had already done what they had to do, so they mainly relied on Sima Quan and Peng Xiang. If even these two couldn't handle it, then everything would be over. They could only rely on Bu Xutian to send more cultivators over. However, if that happened, it would probably be ten or even a hundred times more difficult than it was now.
In the blink of an eye, four days passed.
At this time, the construction of the spell altar had reached its final stage, and it would be completed in another three to four days, but there was still no movement from the other side.
However, everyone's expressions, including Zhang Chan's, became more and more serious. The sea was also shrouded in a heavy atmosphere, because they could faintly feel that a great power was getting closer and closer to them. It wouldn't be long before it came crashing down on them!
