Lin Zhuyun looked as if there was nothing more sorrowful than despair.
Her face was pale, and her eyes were cloudy. Even her clothes were covered in blood and dust.
Perhaps she had never been in such a sorry state in her life.
"Did you run into the Moon Devil?" Yan Lu asked in a deep voice.
Lin Zhuyun shook her head repeatedly. "No, it wasn't the Moon Devil. It was a spirit that was even more powerful than the Moon Devil. You can't even begin to imagine how terrifying the entrance to the forbidden land has become! "
She slowly closed her eyes, as if she was still trapped in a terrifying dream. She murmured in a dreamy voice, "Many deviant souls, devils, and demons that I've never heard of or seen before are blocking the arched door. They are screaming and madly trying to rush into the forbidden land."
"The moment Fan Li, the Lin Clan members, and those who left with us stepped out of the forbidden land..."
She didn't continue.
However, everyone who saw her knew how bloody and cruel that scene was from the expression on her face.
"If you knew, why did you rush out?" Li Yu asked.
"Those outsider souls and outsiders only showed up the moment Fan Li and the others rushed out of the forbidden land." Lin Zhuyun opened her eyes. Her pupils had become blank and hollow. "At first, we couldn't see anything. All we could see was a vast expanse of whiteness. Only when they passed through some invisible ward did those outsider souls and outsiders suddenly show up. "
She lowered her head slightly. "I remembered Yu Yuan's words, so I waited until the end to see what would happen.
"I was the only one who didn't leave the forbidden land in a hurry. That's why I saw them being torn to pieces and devoured by those outsiders the moment they stepped out of the forbidden land. Their souls exploded.
"None of them survived except for me. They all died in a breath's time.
"After they died, the forbidden land was covered in a vast expanse of whiteness again. I couldn't see anything.
"However, that brief glimpse of her made me realize one thing — Yuyuan's premonition was right."
She didn't say another word.
Hearing her words, no one present gloated over her misfortune. Instead, they all fell silent.
What she had said was simply too shocking.
Numerous outsider souls, outsiders, and powerful demons had gathered at the entrance of the forbidden land, desperately trying to get in. What did that mean?
Had they lost control of the Silver Moon Empire?
What about the army of the empire, the families of the empire, and the powerful cultivators?
As trial-takers, they were clearly trapped in the forbidden area, and the only entrance was occupied by evil spirits and greater demons. Didn't this mean that they had already been abandoned?
Among them, there were geniuses like Li Yu, Yan Lu, Su Yan, and Zhan Tianxiang!
Under what circumstances would they be abandoned?
Unless … unless the Empire was in an extremely bad situation and was in imminent danger!
"Yu Yuan is right."
After a long while, Li Yuchan took a deep breath. "The upheaval in the forbidden lands has caused a terrifying upheaval in the Silver Moon Empire. Strange souls and great demons had appeared out of nowhere, and perhaps even the empire was powerless to deal with them. The loss of the entrance to the forbidden area proves that the Empire has no way to deal with them. "
These words were too heavy for her to say.
"Yu, where's Yu Yuan?"
Lin Zhuyun absorbed the spirit energy of a spirit jade. Her dried-up dantian was slowly filled with energy. She surveyed her surroundings and when she realized that Yu Yuan was not around, she had mixed feelings.
Yu Yuan was not around. Could it be?
Qin Yun and the elder from the Seven Deities Sect were strangers, but she recognized the emblem of the Seven Deities Sect on his clothes.
Could Yu Yuan have been killed by the Seven Deities Sect?
For no reason, she thought that Yu Yuan might have died. She did not feel the slightest bit of joy. Instead, she felt a little disappointed.
"Brother Yu is fine. He's fine." Su Yan smiled sweetly. "You don't have to worry too much. Our journey has been quite smooth."
"These two?" Lin Zhuyun was surprised as she looked at Qin Yun and the elder from the Seven Deities Sect.
Qin Yun and the elder from the Seven Deities Sect were still recovering with spirit crystals. They were expressionless when they met her gaze.
"Fellow Daoists from the Red Sun Empire and the Seven Deities Sect are now our allies." Zhan Tianxiang interjected and then said with a smile, "Seniors, listen to Yu Yuan for the time being. We're preparing to deal with an Extraterrestrial Demon hiding in the bronze monument when our strength recovers. "
"Allies? Listen to Yu Yuan's orders? "Lin Zhuyun was stunned again.
"Bronze monument?!"
All of a sudden, she shrieked. "That's a floating bronze stele with countless inscriptions on its surface, isn't it? Are the Strange Souls inside hiding and not willing to show themselves? "
Qin Yun suddenly looked over. "You've seen it too?"
Lin Zhuyun, who was stared at by him, felt her hair stand on end. She felt uncomfortable all over. "Senior, you are?"
"Qin Yun, the current Sect Master of the Seven Deities Sect." After the scholarly young man reported his name, he shouted with a cold face, "Where did you see it?"
After learning who he was, Lin Zhuyun's expression flickered with astonishment, and she hastily explained what she had seen. "There's a bronze stele floating at the entrance of the forbidden land. It's about this size. The deviant soul inside of it captured Fan Li's soul and pulled it into the stele."
"The entrance of the forbidden area? Such a small bronze monument? "Qin Yun was stunned." It's not the same bronze monument. "
"It's the same one! The one at the entrance of the forbidden area should only be a small part of it. " Yu Yuan's voice suddenly rang out. He walked over to the group and said, "I have a rough idea of the situation."
"Yu Yuan …"
Lin Zhuyun's expression was very unnatural when she saw him. "We should have trusted you. We shouldn't have separated from you and tried to return to the empire through that entrance."
Along the way, she had encountered many Strange Souls and Evil Spirits, but she had barely made it through.
She had also entered the Profound Shattering realm after a narrow escape. Finally, she had found her way here and joined the group.
After going through so many hardships, she finally realized how wise and decisive Yu Yuan was every time she made a decision.
She asked herself, if she was the leader and the one giving orders, perhaps the Lin Family would have been wiped out long ago.
The result proved that after she bid farewell to Yu Yuan, all her clansmen had died.
As for Yu Yuan's side, although there were casualties, the key people were all present. Li Yuchan was also present. The sect masters of the seven divine sects seemed to think highly of Yu Yuan.
"Let's cut the crap." Yu Yuan only glanced at her before turning his head and saying to Qin Yun and Li Yuchan, "For thousands of years, many cultivators have taken away some of the items buried in this forbidden area. There are many incomplete parts of Strange Souls and Evil Spirits in those items. "
"They have many weaknesses and are easier to deal with when they are incomplete. Once they are gathered and their souls are restored, it will be difficult to deal with them. "
"Therefore, we must first go to the forbidden area and destroy the bronze monument that is still suppressed."
"We can't waste any more time."
