The Blood Bat let out a series of creepy laughter and directly pounced on Duan Jinchen. He completely ignored the sword rays and the sword rays passed through his body without any hindrance.
At this moment, they actually gave up resisting and allowed Duan Jinchen to attack with his sword. Not only did this not make Duan Jinchen happy, but his expression changed. He quickly withdrew his attack and flew back.
"Not good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the six Blood Bats in the early stage of the Form Transformation Stage exploded at the same time. Bright red blood splattered all over the sky and dripped down. The surrounding space was filled with a special smell.
When the blood dispersed, Duan Jinchen's figure was nowhere to be seen. Only the air gradually returned to normal. Duan Jinchen's figure appeared in the sky above the bat swarm in the distance. He waved his sword and dispersed the surrounding bats into a huge area.
Then, he took out a yellow talisman and threw it into the air. The talisman instantly turned into a thunderbolt and dispersed. It was like a huge bomb had been detonated. The power of the thunderbolt instantly spread hundreds of miles away.
None of the Blood Bats in this area were spared. All of them seemed to have evaporated and turned into ashes. Even those bats that were hundreds of miles away were affected by the aftershock of the thunderbolt. Those Blood Bats were forced to retreat rapidly.
"Thunder talisman!"
The early stage Transformation Blood Bat that was fighting with the two elders muttered something. Then, the same thing happened to the six Blood Bats from before. At the same time, the remaining early stage Transformation Blood Bats were the same.
"Be careful of the Blood Bats' poison." Duan Jinchen's voice rang out. However, he was still a step too late. Other than Elder Mo who had retreated in advance, the other two elders were invaded by the poison. They did not even have time to say a word before they died.
After they died, the poison was completely revealed. Their bodies were blood-red and their flesh quickly melted. In the end, not even their bones were left.
At this moment, the remaining bats seemed to have received some kind of order. They all stopped attacking and turned around, flying back in the direction they came from. Crushed Stone Valley returned to its original spacious state.
However, a wave of sadness lingered in everyone's hearts. Looking at the remaining dozen or so disciples, Duan Jinchen and Elder Mo's faces were filled with indescribable sadness.
In addition to the six disciples in the Golden Elixir stage and the Nascent Soul stage, there were only seven disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage at the moment. Except for Luo Ping who was in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment stage, the other six were in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment stage. Otherwise, they wouldn't be alive.
"For such a sudden change to occur this time around, it is definitely impossible for it to be out of the blue. There must be something fishy going on. Junior Brother Sect Leader, we might have to properly interrogate the Golden Blade Sect this time around," said Elder Mo.
"Senior apprentice-brother Mo has the same thoughts as me. This is the territory of the Golden Sabre Faction. For so many Half-Form Blood Bats to appear here, they definitely wouldn't have gathered here in a short period of time. They didn't care about it, which led to today's incident. I don't believe that they don't know about it." Duan Jinchen's tone turned cold.
"It's just that two junior apprentice-brothers and so many innocent disciples have lost their lives here. It's hard to bring them back. Since this is their fate, we can only accept it," said Elder Mo once again.
"Cultivators have always been walking on thin ice. However, this sacrifice was not worth it. Alright, everyone, don't think too much. Since the bats have retreated, let's hurry on with our journey!" Duan Jinchen changed the topic and resumed his demeanor as the Sect Leader. He called for everyone to continue on with their journey.
"Sect Leader Martial Uncle, it's already like this. Are we still going to the Golden Sabre Faction?" asked Hua Tao somewhat unwillingly.
"Go, of course we're going. We can't let the other sects see us as a joke. I'm sure you all have some guesses about what happened today. However, I want to tell you all, don't speak carelessly, lest you draw fire to yourselves. Leave everything to me, do you hear me?" Duan Jinchen said in a strict tone.
"We hear you!" All the disciples replied in unison.
"Alright, let's continue on with our journey. Once we pass through Broken Stone Valley, we'll rest for a while." After Duan Jinchen finished speaking, he and Elder Mo took the lead and flew out. The other disciples looked at each other and helplessly controlled the flying swords under their feet to quickly catch up.
As Luo Ping flew, he recalled the battle just now. The tragedy of this battle made him truly feel the dangers of the Cultivation Domain. Dangers could appear at any time without any warning, endangering one's life.
In a short period of time, dozens of lives had been lost. Moreover, they all died without a complete corpse. This was something that Luo Ping had never thought of. It made him feel deeply moved in his heart.
It seemed that in the Cultivation Domain, the importance of strength was even more important. Not only did one have to have strength, but one also had to have life-saving methods and battle skills. Otherwise, one would also die, just like those two elders.
However, when the swarm of bats finally left, Luo Ping was actually a little reluctant to part with them. This was because in the final stage, he had actually obtained some benefits from the swarm of bats. However, just as he had obtained a little, the battle had ended.
This made his plan to make a big profit turn into a bubble. He was actually a little unwilling to let the swarm of bats leave. If this thought was known by the Sect Master and the other disciples, they would definitely chop him into pieces.
Very soon, the group flew out of the sky above Crushed Rock Valley and entered a plain. Under Duan Jinchen's instructions, the group rested for a period of time. Once they had recovered their powers, they continued on their journey.
After nearly an hour, Luo Ping saw an undulating mountain range in the distance. There weren't any very tall peaks in the mountain range, only a few relatively high plateaus.
"The mountain gate of the Golden Sabre Sect is in front. Let's stop flying and use our movement techniques to hasten our journey." Under Duan Jinchen's instructions, everyone withdrew the flying swords under their feet and used their movement techniques to get closer to the Golden Sabre Sect.
Following the wide road in front of them, everyone walked for the time it took for a stick of incense to burn before they saw a huge building complex. The building in the middle was the tallest, and the surrounding buildings were a little lower.
"Why does the Golden Sabre Sect's sect look so unimpressive? It looks just like a place where ordinary commoners and wealthy merchants live." A Foundation Establishment disciple who had never been here said.
"You guys don't know about this. The Golden Sabre Sect cultivates a sabre technique that leans towards the heavy metal attribute, and the ground allows them to absorb the power of the metal attribute. That's why they built the sect like this. This is also their advantage of borrowing the power of nature."
Elder Mo's simple explanation made everyone come to a realization. Luo Ping also understood from his confusion and carefully sized up the Golden Sabre Sect in front of him.
Just as that disciple had said, the entire building of the Golden Sabre Sect was filled with the grandeur of wealth. It was completely made of dazzling gold, and its entire body shone with golden light. Under the illumination of the sun, it emitted rays of light.
Although cultivators didn't pay attention to the temptation of worldly money, such a huge amount still made Luo Ping's eyes widen. His gaze swept back and forth between the buildings.
The other disciples who hadn't been here before basically had the same expression as Luo Ping. They weren't coveting the value of the gold, but rather marveling at the methods of the Golden Sabre Sect.
"Hahaha … welcome Sect Master Duan. Senior Martial Brother Sect Master is already waiting in the main hall. Sect Master Duan, please enter."
Just as they arrived in front of the Golden Sabre Sect's mountain gate, a hearty voice sounded in everyone's ears. Immediately after, a middle-aged man wearing golden robes rushed out from the centermost building using his movement technique.
"So it's Elder Hu Junhui. What's wrong? Sect Master Duan has broken through and disdained to welcome me?" Duan Jinchen's voice was neither salty nor light. As long as one wasn't an idiot, they would naturally be able to hear the interrogative tone in his voice. As expected, when Elder Hu Junhui heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched unnaturally a few times.
"Sect Master Duan must be joking. How could Senior Martial Brother Sect Master act like this? It's because when the Stroll Planting Sect arrived at our sect, I heard that they were attacked by Demonic Beasts. Right now, Senior Martial Brother Sect Master is carefully inquiring about the situation. That's why he allowed me to welcome the other sects in front of the mountain gate."
After hearing Hu Junhui's explanation, Duan Jinchen didn't care about the other situation. Instead, he focused on the Stroll Planting Sect being attacked by Demonic Beasts.
"The Stroll Planting Sect was also attacked by Demonic Beasts?" Duan Jinchen hurriedly confirmed.
"That's right. The Stroll Planting Sect has suffered heavy losses. Of the dozens of disciples they brought, there are now less than ten left. They even sacrificed three elders. Yi, what's wrong? Could it be that you also …"
As Hu Junhui spoke, he carefully looked behind Duan Jinchen and saw that there were only a dozen or so disciples. He couldn't help but think of something and asked with a slightly changed expression.
"That's right. Our sect was also attacked by Demonic Beasts. We were surrounded by the Giant Winged Blood Bats in Crushed Stone Valley. We lost two elders and dozens of disciples." Duan Jinchen said coldly.
"How could this be? How could these Demonic Beasts appear at the same time and attack the other sects? There must be something going on. Why don't Sect Master Duan quickly follow me into the main hall and discuss it in detail? "
Hu Junhui didn't understand and hurriedly stepped aside and extended his hand to make an inviting gesture. Seeing this, Duan Jinchen didn't say anything else and was about to enter the main hall. Just as he raised his foot, he retracted it and turned around to look behind him.
"What a coincidence. The Rainbow Light Sect has also arrived. Sect Master Duan, please wait a moment." Hu Junhui made an apologetic gesture. After bypassing the crowd, he hurriedly welcomed the Rainbow Light Sect's group that was rushing over.
"Hahaha … Welcome Sect Master Jing to the Golden Blade Sect. I hope Sect Master Jing can forgive me for not going out to meet you."
"So it's Elder Hu. Long time no see. What's wrong? After Brother Ba advanced, you don't even want to meet me, this piece of trash?"
It was almost the same meaning as Duan Jinchen, causing Hu Junhui's expression to turn ugly again. However, he still explained the situation with a smile.
"What? The Stroll Planting Sect and the Kongming Sect also encountered Demonic Beasts? This … could it be related to the change in the Demon Chaos Valley? "Sect Master Jing Fei also saw that something was wrong.
"Brother Jing, let's go to the main hall first and discuss this matter in detail. I believe that it won't be long before the Beast Taming Mountain arrives." Duan Jinchen walked in front of Jing Fei and said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes. Sect Master Duan, Sect Master Jing should go to the main hall first." Hu Junhui made an inviting gesture again.
