A few days later, the leaders of the five sects, including the Kongming Sect, communicated with each other. After exchanging information, they began to prepare a strategy to deal with the enemy.
They had just learned from the disciples who were carrying out the mission that the nine-tailed fox had failed to pass the heavenly tribulation and died. A few days later, they received a message from Duan Jinchen saying that the nine-tailed fox did not die under the heavenly tribulation, but disappeared for no reason after passing the heavenly tribulation.
What was more serious was that the half-form monsters in the Demon Chaos Valley actually thought that the five sects had captured the nine-tailed fox and were gathering their subordinates to prepare to attack the five sects.
However, the leaders of the five sects could not figure out where these half-form monsters got the courage to attack the sects with Primordial Soul Stage powerhouses. Weren't they seeking their own deaths?
However, although they could not figure it out, the five sects still made their own preparations. They knew that it was easy to dodge an open spear, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. They were afraid that the Demon Clan would ambush nearby and attack the disciples who went in and out.
Therefore, for a time, the five sects forbade the disciples from going out. For the disciples who went out to gain experience, they were sent a message telling them not to return to avoid being ambushed.
The tense atmosphere made the disciples of the five sects feel that something was wrong. They all asked each other what the reason was. Soon, the news that the Demon Clan was about to attack the five sects spread among the disciples of the various sects.
For the disciples above the Nascent Soul Stage, it did not affect them much. Their strength was enough to deal with the powerhouses of the Demon Clan. After all, the strongest monster in the Demon Clan was only a half-form monster.
However, for the disciples below the Golden Elixir Stage, they were still worried. They all obeyed the sect's ban and did not dare to leave the sect secretly to avoid being attacked by the Demon Clan.
Ten days … half a month … one month … one and a half months. The five sects waited for a long time, but they still did not find any strange movements from the Demon Clan. The news that the disciples of the five sects who were stationed in the sealed area sent back was the same.
That was, all the members of the Demon Clan were summoned by the half-form monsters. At the beginning, they gathered together as if to discuss something. After that, they did not gather together again.
Such a calm action made the five sects doubt whether the information was true, whether the Yao Clan really intended to massacre the five sects. Even Duan Jinchen could not hold back, and once again asked Zhan Ze in detail.
Zhan Ze was still very convinced. He had heard that the Demon Race was preparing to attack the Five Sects in order to rescue their Young Masters. As for why there was no movement, he did not know.
The sect masters of the five sects still did not dare to relax their vigilance for a while. They ordered the disciples stationed in the sealed area to closely monitor the movements of the Demon Clan while continuing to prohibit the disciples from going out. They seemed to be a little timid.
…
The core region of the Demon Chaos Valley was only five thousand miles in size. It was originally the lair of the Demonic Beasts in the Demon Clan's Transformation Stage. However, it had now become their sealing ground.
A huge spatial array formation occupied a third of the core area. It was set up by the five sects in order to seal the Metamorphosis Stage Demonic Beasts.
Although the Demon Clan could see the existence of the array formation and had tried to enter the array formation without any effort, they found that there was nothing at all after entering.
The scene inside the array formation was exactly the same as outside the array formation. Moreover, they could not see the existence of the array formation at all. Once they came out, they could see the array formation again.
It was as if the entire spatial array formation did not exist in the space of the core area at all. After trying many times, the members of the Demon Clan finally gave up.
They finally saw the power of a human cultivator's Spatial Spirit Tool. For the Demon Clan, whose refining level had always been low, it was very rare for them to encounter a Spatial Spirit Tool. Of course, they did not know the power of the Spatial Spirit Tool.
It was a treasure that could open up another space within the original space. Moreover, the two spaces did not overlap with each other. If one wanted to freely travel between the two spaces, one needed the permission of the Spatial Spirit Tool's owner or a matching array formation. Other methods were useless.
Of course, if one encountered a very powerful opponent who could see the existence of the Spatial Spirit Tool at a glance, they could also use their overwhelming strength to break open the space created by the Spatial Spirit Tool.
Obviously, there were no such powerful experts among the Demon Clan. However, there were none in the past, but that did not mean there were none now. At this time, outside the spatial array formation, Deng Qifeng, Ling Hua, and the other experts of the Demon Chaos Valley were all standing silently behind a black-robed old man. They appeared to be unusually respectful.
The black-robed old man's face was gloomy. He stared at the array formation in front of him in silence. The atmosphere at the scene was very oppressive. If the black-robed old man did not speak, Deng Qifeng and the others did not dare to speak either.
However, standing behind the black-robed old man, Deng Qifeng and the others were still communicating with each other through their eyes. They just did not dare to transmit their voices, for fear that the old man would detect them.
Deng Qifeng and the others were obviously a little impatient. They had been standing here for a full two hours, but the black-robed old man in front of them did not make any movements. Other than staring at the array formation in front of him, he did not say a word.
If it were not for the black-robed old man's cultivation level being far higher than theirs, Deng Qifeng and the others would have already complained. How could they have waited until now?
The black-robed old man's eyes turned. Clearly, he knew the situation of Deng Qifeng and the others like the back of his hand. A trace of a smile appeared on his gloomy face, but he still did not speak.
He was originally cultivating well in the Demon Clan's Holy Land. Suddenly, he was sent here by his superiors to help the Demon Chaos Valley deal with human cultivators. This made him very unwilling, but he did not dare to not come.
Therefore, he suppressed his anger. After arriving at the Demon Chaos Valley, he found that the Half-Form Demon Beasts were all Class 6 Demon Beasts, far higher than him. This made him feel even more annoyed.
Not only did he delay his cultivation time, but he also had to help these high-level Demon Beasts. He felt like he was a hired thug. If it were not for his higher cultivation level, the other party would not have put him in their eyes.
The black-robed old man's original body was only a Class 4 Demon Beast, Thousand Feet Poisonous Centipede. It was only because he had cultivated for a long time that he barely reached the late stage of the Heaven Life Realm. In the Demon Clan's Holy Land, he could only be regarded as an ordinary master.
The experts of the Demon Clan's Holy Land were basically high-level Demon Beasts. A Class 4 Demon Beast like the black-robed old man had a very low status. Even if he was now in the late stage of the Heaven Life Realm, he still had no right to speak.
Therefore, this Thousand Feet Poisonous Centipede had always held a grudge against those high-level Demon Beasts. After a long time, it developed a dark heart. Now that it saw Deng Qifeng and the others, of course, it did not have a good expression.
In fact, it had already figured out a way to break the space array in front of it. It was just that it wanted to torture Deng Qifeng and the others, so it deliberately stood there for so long.
"Senior Chou, I don't know if you can see the flaw of this array?" As the current leader of the Demon Clan in the Demon Chaos Valley, Deng Qifeng suppressed his impatience and pretended to ask respectfully.
The black-robed old man did not answer. He only turned his head slightly and glanced at it. He stepped forward and walked to the front of the barrier. He stretched out his palm and used his cultivation to directly slap the array.
Deng Qifeng was clearly angry at the black-robed old man's attitude. If it were not for the other Demon Clan companions holding him back, he would probably be at a disadvantage.
The black-robed old man's palm slapped on the array's barrier. He did not directly drill into it like the others. Instead, he was blocked by the brilliance of the barrier. The two sides began to fight.
"Humph!"
The black-robed old man snorted coldly. His palm suddenly pressed down. A green smoke slowly seeped out from his palm and slowly spread to the surface of the array.
Not long after, the green smoke had already covered the entire huge array and connected with the black-robed old man's palm. It looked quite harmonious and natural.
"Strengthen!"
The black-robed old man shouted. The green smoke that covered the array seemed to be boiling. It made bursts of gurgling sounds and the smoke became more and more dense.
Under the attack of the smoke, the array would not be so easily broken. The wrapped array suddenly emitted a burst of yellow brilliance. A trace of light penetrated the green smoke outside and shot out.
"What's going on? Someone is attacking the array. "
The disciples of the five sects in the array space discovered the abnormality of the array and immediately gathered together to observe the movements outside. When they saw the entire array covered by the green smoke, their faces were a little worried.
"Quickly, take out the array weapons and strengthen the array's defense. We can't let the Demon Clan outside break the array."
The disciples of the five sects did not need to think to know that the Demon Clan was outside. Immediately, several Nascent Soul stage cultivators took out the array weapons and poured their own True Essence into it to maintain the stability of the array.
The black-robed old man's face changed. He did not expect that the array that had just become unstable would suddenly become stable again. However, his strange expression disappeared and became gloomy again.
"You want to resist my poisonous smoke? Then I'll let you truly experience the power of the green smoke. "
As soon as the black-robed old man's voice fell, the green smoke that covered the array suddenly condensed and slowly turned into countless caterpillars. They crawled on the surface of the array and kept wriggling.
"Sha sha sha sha" The sound was very ear-piercing. Even Deng Qifeng, Ling Hua, and the others in the distance felt a little numb. After all, they knew the power of the black-robed old man's poisonous smoke.
The caterpillar-like things ignored the sturdiness of the array and directly raised their heads. In an instant, the caterpillar's tail disappeared from the surface of the array.
"Yi, what is that?"
Inside the array, the cultivators of the five sects were maintaining the stability of the array. Suddenly, they saw countless caterpillars appear above the array. One by one, they hung upside down like hanged ghosts.
After the caterpillars appeared, they directly fell on the cultivators' bodies. Those cultivators simply did not have time to dodge and the caterpillars crawled all over their bodies.
As soon as the caterpillars came in contact with the human skin, it was as if they were injected with chicken blood. They directly drilled through the skin and into the flesh. Even if these Nascent Soul stage cultivators immediately propped up a protective array, it was simply unable to stop them.
"Ah!"
One by one, they let out heart-wrenching howls. They no longer had the energy to maintain the stability of the array and all of their attention was focused on the caterpillars.
