Fog beast
"Sect Master is back! That's great! Sect Master is finally back!" Seeing that Gu Fan and the others had returned, the disciples guarding the mountain were overjoyed and shouted out loudly.
"What's going on?" Seeing the expression on the disciple's face, Gu Fan's face darkened. He had an ominous premonition.
"Sect Master, it's … it's the Old Ancestor who's in trouble," said the disciple guarding the mountain.
"Something happened to the Patriarch?" Hearing this, Gu Fan's expression changed drastically. The Grand Patriarch was the pillar of the Sect of the Ether. If anything happened to the Grand Patriarch, they would be in big trouble.
Without the Grand Patriarch, the Sect of the Ether had lost its guardian. If other sects knew about this, the Sect of the Ether would be in big trouble.
The Sect of the Ether had a lot of enemies. The reason why the Sect of the Ether was still standing was because of the Grand Patriarch of the Sect of the Ether. If anything happened to the Grand Patriarch of the Sect of the Ether, it would be like a collapsing building.
"Ancestor, he … let …"
"What happened? Hurry up and tell me!" Gu Fan shouted anxiously.
"Just two hours ago, there was a huge explosion at the Patriarch's place. Now, the Patriarch's place is shrouded in a layer of fog. There is a mysterious power in the fog, and we can't get close to it. We don't know what happened inside," said the disciple guarding the mountain.
"Take me there." Gu Fan's expression changed.
If an explosion happened in the Patriarch's cultivation place, it would be terrible.
"Sect Master Gu, let's go with you to take a look. I hope we can be of help," Bai Yunjian said.
Gu Fan nodded.
Bai Yunjian was a Martial Monarch, and he was extremely knowledgeable. As for Yang Hongwu, he was incredibly mysterious, and the things that he knew were no less than Bai Yunjian. Perhaps, they might be able to help each other if they were to head over to take a look.
They came to the place where the Patriarch of the Sect of Ether cultivated.
"This is?"
Everyone saw that the training room had undergone a huge change. It was shrouded in a layer of mist. This layer of mist contained a terrifying power. The moment they got close, they would be repelled by this powerful force.
"What's going on?" Gu Fan's face changed slightly. He tried a few times, but he couldn't break into the fog. It was too strange.
"Grandmaster, we've already tried many times, but we couldn't get in. Furthermore, we've tried communicating with the Old Master as well, but there was no response either." One of the elders said.
"Where is Ancestor's Soul Jade Tablet?" Gu Fan asked.
"It's fine."
"That's good." Gu Fan heaved a sigh of relief. As long as the soul jade didn't shatter, it proved that the old ancestor was still alive. As long as he was alive, there wouldn't be any problems.
"This fog is truly strange." Bai Yunjian looked at the fog in front of him. The fog covered hundreds of feet. Once he got close, he would be repelled by a strong force. It seemed to be a restriction array, but it was different from a restriction array.
"Brother Bai, you're very knowledgeable. Can you tell what's going on?" Gu Fan asked. He could not find any clues, so he asked Bai Yunjian.
Bai Yunjian shook his head and said, "I've never seen such a situation."
He turned to Yang Hongwu and asked, "Junior Brother Yang, what about you? Did you find anything? "
Yang Hongwu smiled bitterly and said, "You didn't find anything. I'm just a Venerable. How can I find anything?"
"Is this a formation array?" Zi Fenghuang asked.
"It doesn't look like a formation array." Bai Yunjian shook his head.
"It doesn't look like a formation array either." Ling Song also shook his head.
"Let me try and see if I can blast open this fog." Bai Yunjian said.
"Okay." Gu Fan nodded.
Bai Yunjian unsheathed his sword and said to the crowd, "Step aside and let me try."
The crowd retreated ten feet away. Bai Yunjian poured his Dharmic powers into his sword. A cold light burst out from his eyes. He swung his sword fiercely, and a shocking Sword Qi soared into the sky and bombarded the fog.
"Bang!"
The sword bombarded the fog and exploded with a loud bang. A majestic force pushed Bai Yunjian back dozens of steps.
Bai Yunjian's face turned pale and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"What a terrifying defense." Bai Yunjian was extremely shocked. He had used almost all of his strength in that sword attack. Even if it was an iron wall, it would be torn apart by that sword attack. However, he did not expect that the sword attack did not have any effect on the mist. Instead, the powerful rebounding force had injured him.
How could Bai Yunjian not be shocked?
"Brother Bai, are you alright?" Gu Fan hurriedly asked.
"I'm fine. However, I can't split this fog. I'm afraid we have to think of another way." Bai Yunjian shook his head and said.
"Sect Leader Gu, I have a guess." Hua Yuanwu said.
"Just say it." Yang Hongwu said.
"Sect Leader Gu, Young Master, I've seen a strange beast in an ancient book. The situation before us is very similar to that strange beast. That strange beast is called the Fog Beast. It's extremely powerful. It's said that the strength of the Fog Beast is equivalent to that of an Invincible Great Emperor. Moreover, the defense of the Fog Beast is even more terrifying. Even an Invincible Great Emperor cannot break through it." Hua Yuanwu said.
"Fog Beast? You're saying that this fog is not a spirit formation, nor is it a spirit formation. Instead, it's a kind of exotic beast called the Fog Beast? "Gu Fan asked upon hearing that.
Hua Yuanwu nodded and said, "Yes, Sect Leader. However, I don't know if it's true or not. I saw it in an ancient book by accident."
"This …" Gu Fan had no idea. He had no way to confirm it.
"The world is so big. There are all kinds of strange things. Perhaps, it's really a strange beast?" Bai Yunjian said.
"If it's really a Fog Beast, does it have any weakness? Is there any way to get rid of it?" Gu Fan looked at Hua Yuanwu and asked.
Hua Yuanwu shook his head and said, "There's no way. There's only a little record in that ancient book. It only introduced the existence of the Fog Beast. As for its weakness, its habits and so on, there's no introduction."
"Could it be that the Ancestor was swallowed by the Fog Beast? That's troublesome. " Gu Fan frowned. If the Ancestor was swallowed into the Fog Beast's stomach, he wouldn't be able to hold on for long. If there was a powerful divine weapon, he might be able to cut open the Fog Beast's stomach and get out. However, the Fog Beast was extremely strange. The Ancestor didn't have a divine weapon with him. If he delayed for too long, the Ancestor might really be digested by the Fog Beast.
