Almost all the disciples of the Purple Sun Sect rushed to the fourth floor. However, those who thought that the evil spirits on the fourth floor would be easy to deal with soon regretted it. Even though their strength was suppressed by the Demon Sealing Pagoda, the weakest evil spirits were still equivalent to a Lv 2 Martial Master.
Moreover, the number of evil spirits far exceeded the number of people.
Under such circumstances, they quickly experienced the power of these evil spirits.
Some of the weaker ones or those who did not follow a group almost died not long after entering the fourth floor.
The strength of the evil spirits made those who wanted to act alone quickly find a group that they could rely on. Even so, the attack of the evil spirits still made the disciples of the Purple Sun Sect feel fear and unease.
Some of them even had the idea of retreating, but what made their faces change was that after silently chanting the rune words, they could not leave.
They did not know that the rune words to leave the fourth floor of the Rune Pagoda had been temporarily turned off by Xing Bai. The fourth floor could no longer be left, only entered.
At this moment, in the Law Enforcement Hall, all the elders of the Purple Sun Sect gathered together. Their gazes were all looking at the opened door of the Demon Sealing Pagoda.
"Sect Leader, this is not a good idea. What if the disciples are in danger by turning off the rune words to leave the fourth floor?" An elder said worriedly.
The others also looked at Xing Bai with a worried expression.
"Sigh, there is no other way. This time, the evil spirits in the pagoda are too strong. I originally thought that there was no need to use this method, but before I released the energy of the pagoda, I realized that the situation was different. Therefore, for the future of the sect, I have to do this. Otherwise, after seeing the power of the evil spirits, most of the disciples would not stay in there to continue killing evil spirits, but choose to leave. "Xing Bai sighed.
"This time, the strength of the evil spirits is really that strong?" An elder could not help but ask.
"Yes, according to my investigation, it is even stronger than the riot of the evil spirits more than a hundred years ago."
"No way."
Upon hearing this, everyone was greatly shocked.
"If so, then I understand what you are doing, Sect Leader." Then, an elder immediately expressed his support.
Most of the people also nodded in agreement.
"We can only let these disciples suffer," Xing Bai said.
...
In a cave on the fourth floor, more than ten disciples of the Green Peak were surrounded by a group of about thirty evil spirits.
Due to the difference in numbers and strength, these disciples were completely suppressed by these evil spirits. Fortunately, the terrain was slightly advantageous to them, otherwise they would not have been able to hold on at all.
But as time passed, they slowly could not hold on anymore, and some disciples began to show signs of injury.
"Second Senior Brother, what should we do?" Someone anxiously asked Li Dalong.
Since the first senior brother had been expelled from the Purple Sun Sect and Linlong wasn't in the group, Li Dalong was without a doubt the leader of Qing Feng's group.
"Everyone, hold on. Junior Sister Mu Ling has already rushed out of the encirclement to find reinforcements. I believe that the fellow disciples of the De Wu Peak will definitely rush over to support us." Hearing this, Li Dalong immediately shouted to the disciples of the Green Peak.
Hearing his words, the confidence of the disciples immediately soared.
Just now, more than twenty people from the De Wu Peak walked past them. Li Dalong also killed a way out and sent Li Muling and another disciple to ask for help.
Although their relationship with the De Wu Peak was very ordinary, they believed that they would come to help them out of consideration for being from the same sect.
At this time, two or three caves away, a team of about twenty people was hunting a small number of evil spirits. This team was from the De Wu Peak.
The leader of this team was Luo Zhi from the De Wu Peak. Luo Zhi was one of the top ten on the Sky Ranking, and an influential figure in the Purple Sun Sect.
Suddenly, someone shouted from the side they just walked past, "Senior Brother Luo, people from the Green Peak ask to see you."
"Let them come." Luo Zhi's eyes narrowed.
Soon, two people from the Green Peak arrived in front of Luo Zhi. These two people were Li Muling and Li Muling.
"Junior Sister Li Muling, what's the matter?" Luo Zhi looked at Li Muling.
"Senior Brother Luo Zhi, we are surrounded by a group of evil spirits. The situation is very critical. I hope you can go and help us," Li Muling said anxiously.
Before Luo Zhi could speak, someone beside him already said, "Junior Sister Li Muling, we just went through a fierce battle and a few of our juniors died. Everyone is very tired now. If we go and help you, we won't be able to rest at all. It's very easy for us to lose our lives this way."
Hearing this, Li Muling frowned slightly. Luo Zhi's people seemed to have gone through a battle, but looking at their situation, they weren't very tired at all. It was completely possible for them to go and help them.
After looking at the person who spoke, she immediately understood. This person was Mo Tai. Probably because of the relationship between Yu Yuanwu and Cao Yi, Mo Tai was still holding a grudge against the people from the Green Peak. That was why he said this at this time.
However, they were here to ask for help, not to argue. Thus, Li Muling endured the unhappiness in her heart and continued to look at Luo Zhi sincerely.
Although Mo Tai definitely had a position in this team, the person in charge was definitely Luo Zhi. Once Luo Zhi agreed, it would be useless no matter what Mo Tai said.
Li Muling was full of confidence in Luo Zhi. After all, before entering the sect, her father, Li Yiming, had given Luo Zhi some pointers.
However, she didn't expect Luo Zhi to directly reject her. "Junior Sister Li Muling, you heard what Mo Tai said. We really can't go and help you. I'm really sorry."
"Senior Brother Luo Zhi, we are all from the same sect after all..."
Li Muling still wanted to say something, but Luo Zhi already waved his hand. "Alright, Junior Sister Li Muling, don't say anymore. It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I can't do it."
Seeing Luo Zhi like this, Li Muling originally wanted to turn around and leave. However, when she thought of the senior brothers in Azure Peak, she clenched her teeth and directly knelt down. "Senior Brother Luo Zhi, the situation is indeed very critical. I hope you can help."
Luo Zhi frowned. To be honest, it wasn't that he didn't want to help, but because Azure Peak had offended too many people. First, it was their De Wu Peak, then it was Purple Sun Peak. Most importantly, Hua Haotian of Purple Sun Peak was the future Sect Master of Purple Sun Peak. Luo Zhi didn't want to offend Hua Haotian for such a matter.
He believed that if he helped Azure Peak today, Hua Haotian would definitely make things difficult for him once word got out.
This was something he didn't want to face.
Moreover, the fourth level was very dangerous now. He didn't want to let his own people's vitality be depleted because of helping. If they encountered danger, he might not be able to handle it.
"A large number of evil spirits have been discovered in front!"
It was also at this moment that the person in charge of scouting in front of them spoke.
This discovery gave him an excuse. He immediately spread his hands helplessly and said, "Junior Sister Mu Ling, you heard it too. There's really nothing I can do."
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble Senior Brother … We'll leave first." Li Muling stood up with a dejected expression.
Then, she left with another person from Azure Peak and walked towards where the people from Azure Peak were. She couldn't bear to leave them behind.
After spending a lot of effort, the two of them killed their way to a place not far from Azure Peak.
Seeing the two of them, someone from Azure Peak immediately shouted, "Junior Sister Mu Ling is back."
The crowd immediately opened a path for the two of them to return to the camp.
After the two of them entered, someone immediately asked, "Junior Sister Mu Ling, did the people from De Wu Peak come to help?"
Li Muling shook her head with incomparable disappointment. "I'm sorry, Senior Brothers. Junior Sister couldn't complete the mission."
"Why?"
"Those people from De Wu Peak are unwilling to help. They found an excuse to decline," the person who went with Li Muling said.
"What? The people from De Wu Peak are too unrighteous. Why didn't they come to help? "
"Could it be because Lin Long defeated Yu Yuanwu?"
"If it's because of this, then it can only be said that they are too calculative."
"If the people from De Wu Peak don't come, how can we kill so many evil spirits?" Someone said worriedly.
At this time, Li Dalong stood up and said loudly, "Everyone, don't panic. As long as we maintain the formation, we will definitely be able to kill these evil spirits."
If the people from De Wu Peak didn't come, they could only rely on themselves. He didn't want his junior brothers and sisters to lose confidence.
"Yes, everyone, if we work together, we will definitely be able to kill these evil spirits."
"What are the people from De Wu Peak? As long as we work hard, we might live longer than them and kill more evil spirits than them."
"Yes, everyone, work hard. When the time comes, let's make those people from De Wu Peak regret it."
For a moment, the dozen or so people from Azure Peak were all fired up. They all hunted the evil spirits in front of them with great enthusiasm.
However, enthusiasm was one thing, and strength was another. Very soon, after two more people were injured, they completely understood how cruel reality was.
However, they did not lose confidence. Instead, they worked even harder to kill the evil spirits.
After an unknown period of time, they had hunted down two-thirds of the evil spirits, but they had also paid a great price. Three more people were injured, and one of them was directly stabbed in the chest by the evil spirit's sharp claws, and he soon died.
Despite this sacrifice, they did not see any hope, because a few new wraiths joined in the encirclement and besieging them.
It seemed that he had failed to live up to his master's expectations. So many people from Azure Peak were going to fall on this fourth floor. Such a tragic scene made Li Dalong sigh inwardly.
Not long ago, they also knew that the rune term to leave the fourth floor had lost its effect. Otherwise, at this time, he would definitely let some people leave first.
