The members of the Devil Sect in the stronghold were all in a state of panic. Their faces were overcast. The reason was very simple. Although they had holed up in the stronghold, the evil spirit would often send evil spirits to attack them.
This kind of sneak attack caused their people to be snatched away by the evil spirits. Although they had killed many evil spirits, there were many evil spirits in this mystic realm. This kind of killing did not have any effect on the evil spirits with spiritual intelligence.
On the contrary, the number of their disciples was fixed. Every time someone was snatched away, they would lose another disciple. There was no way to replace them.
Most importantly, the souls of those who were snatched away were almost all devoured by the evil spirit. As it continued to devour, the evil spirit's strength became stronger and stronger.
On this day, Yan Sheng and Du Qiran once again gathered the elders of the stronghold.
"Elder Zhao, when you were patrolling earlier, the patrol team was attacked by the evil spirit again. You met the evil spirit face to face. Do you feel any changes in the evil spirit?" Yan Sheng looked at Elder Zhao and asked.
Elder Zhao was the elder who had led the team to chase after the evil spirit.
"I just fought with the evil spirit. I feel that the evil spirit's strength has increased again. It has the strength of a Martial King Realm now!" Elder Zhao said with a solemn expression.
"The strength of a Martial King Realm?"
"We have cultivated painstakingly for god knows how many years to reach the Martial King Realm. This evil spirit's strength has increased by leaps and bounds just by devouring souls."
"If we let it continue to develop like this, we will be no match for it at all. When that time comes, all of us will definitely be killed by it!"
For a moment, the surrounding elders all discussed in horror.
The evil spirit's strength had increased by leaps and bounds. It made them feel an unprecedented fear.
"Elder Yan, Elder Du, this evil spirit has such strength. We must strengthen our patrols so that the evil spirit has no hope of catching a single disciple. Only then can we contain it and seize the opportunity to kill it!" At this time, an elder stood up and suggested.
"That's right, we have to do this," the others chimed in.
"Yes, let's do that." Elder Yan nodded, then said to everyone, "From now on, each patrol team will still be led by an elder, but each patrol team will have three elders hiding in the dark. Once the evil spirit appears, the three hidden elders must immediately come out and join hands with the elder in the patrol team to use the Black Cloud Four Demon Formation to deal with the evil spirit."
After a short pause, he continued, "Although it's tiring, I hope everyone can understand."
"Yes, let's do that." The others agreed.
This was indeed tiring, but they knew that this was the only way to deal with the evil spirit.
Soon, this method was implemented.
Not only that, Elder Yan and Elder Du would also go out to check on the outside from time to time. Once they discovered an attack from evil spirits, they would immediately rush over to help.
Such a move made the people from the Demon Sect in the stronghold feel slightly at ease.
After implementing this method, the surroundings seemed to have quietened down. However, this was only a temporary silence, because half a day later, evil spirits suddenly attacked again.
A group of at least twenty third-level commander evil spirits pounced on a patrol team. Behind these evil spirits was obviously the figure of that special evil spirit.
The other three elders who had been waiting for an opportunity immediately joined the battle and joined hands with the elder in the patrol team to use the Black Cloud Four Demon Formation.
Once the Black Cloud Four Demon Formation was used, they immediately gained the upper hand. Those third-level commanders were no match for them at all.
Seeing this situation, that special evil spirit turned around and fled.
How could the few of them be willing to let it go? They immediately chased after it.
Not only them, but the other elders in the patrol team also chased after it. Even Yan Sheng, who had just come out, joined the ranks of the pursuers.
What made them happy was that there were not many third-level commanders following that evil spirit. Most importantly, that evil spirit's speed had become very slow for some reason.
This was an opportunity, so they did not care about anything else and chased after it as fast as they could.
As they worked hard, they got closer and closer to that evil spirit. When they were only a few dozen feet away from that evil spirit, a group of evil spirits suddenly rushed out from the side.
Although the strength of this group of evil spirits was not strong, they helped the evil spirit block them. Soon, they lost sight of the evil spirit and could only helplessly return.
When they were not far away from the stronghold, they heard the sounds of fighting coming from the stronghold.
Yan Sheng immediately led everyone and rushed over. As soon as they got closer, they found that the elders who were still in the stronghold were fighting with a group of evil spirits.
When they arrived, the group of evil spirits was immediately surrounded and annihilated by them.
However, Yan Sheng and the others noticed that the expressions of the elders in the stronghold were not right.
"Elder Du, did something happen?" Yan Sheng immediately looked at Du Qiran and asked.
"Just now, when you were chasing after them, a group of evil spirits suddenly attacked a patrol team. When we rushed over, five of the patrol team's members had already been snatched away by those evil spirits." Du Qiran's complexion was unsightly.
"We fell into the enemy's trap!" Yan Sheng's expression was also ugly.
At this time, how could he not see that the evil spirit just now deliberately let them chase further away, and then took advantage of this time to let another group of evil spirits kill their way out and snatch the people away?
They could only blame themselves for not expecting this evil spirit to be so smart.
"This evil spirit is too smart. How are we fighting against evil spirits? We're clearly fighting against a wise and resourceful strategist."
"The most terrifying thing is that this strategist can even command these evil spirits in the secret realm."
For a moment, the surrounding elders all sighed.
After this incident, Yan Sheng and the others became even more cautious.
Unknowingly, a few days passed. Although these days, evil spirits would come to harass them from time to time, their cautiousness allowed them to not suffer any more losses.
However, because of this cautiousness, and because of the increased number of patrols, their people became extremely tired.
They knew that this was not the way to go on, and that the evil spirit's strength was constantly increasing, but they had no other choice but to do so.
On this day, when Yan Sheng was resting in the stronghold, suddenly a disciple from his sect ran over in a panic.
Thinking that something big had happened, Yan Sheng asked directly, "What's wrong, what happened?"
"Sect Master … No, Huo Zhengcheng is back," the disciple said.
"Huo Zhengcheng? He still dares to come back? "Yan Sheng's expression darkened.
Because he knew that Huo Zhengcheng was seriously injured and poisoned, he was not worried that Huo Zhengcheng would pose any threat to him. Now that he heard that Huo Zhengcheng actually came back, he was naturally puzzled.
