"This is bad …"
A panicked scream suddenly rang out in the back mountain of the Essence Talisman Sect.
A series of hurried bell rings reverberated throughout the entire sect.
Following that, a shocking piece of news shook the entire Essence Talisman Sect —
"All the disciples who went to the Ancient Ruins, including Young Sect Master Gao Yanming, had their soul tablets shattered. It's suspected that they were all buried in the ruins!"
When he revealed the news, the disciple's teeth were chattering violently.
As soon as he finished speaking, a pressure as heavy as a mountain suddenly exploded in the void.
"What did you say?!"
In the conference hall, the Sect Master of the Essence Talisman Sect, Gao Shengtian, glared angrily. His surging aura was like the wrath of the heavens, directly sending the disciple flying hundreds of meters away!
He was still in mid-air, but he had already spat out blood.
In addition to him, the rest of the elders in the hall were startled too.
Although the disciples who went to the Ancient Ruins weren't the top geniuses among the younger disciples, they could still be called the new force of the sect.
After all, a sect couldn't just rely on one or two geniuses to grow.
There were elders, deacons, guests, elite disciples, and ordinary disciples. Everyone had their own duties. Only then could a sect be considered a complete sect.
"A total of twenty-seven disciples, and all their soul tablets shattered?!"
An elder suddenly stood up, his surging true energy directly shattering the seat he was sitting on.
An elder crushed a teacup, someone accidentally tore off his beard, and someone roared with killing intent, "Who's so daring to attack the disciples of the Essence Talisman Sect?"
"Hmph!"
At this moment, a cold snort sounded out.
Gao Shengtian's arcane energy surged as he slowly placed the disciple he had saved on the seat.
A wisp of arcane energy surged, healing his injuries.
Not long after, the disciple opened his eyes once more. His body shuddered as he felt many gazes land on him.
"Tell me in detail what happened when the soul tablet shattered."
A cold voice that was as cold as water gave off a soul-chilling intent.
The disciple shuddered. Ignoring the pain in his body, he gritted his teeth and repeated everything.
In just a short while.
An incomparably oppressive atmosphere permeated the entire meeting hall.
Sect Master Gao Shengtian's face was even more frighteningly gloomy.
"How dare you! How audacious! No matter who you are, if you dare to kill a disciple of my Essence Talisman Sect, I will kill you no matter where you go! "
The terrifying aura of the Yuan Dan Pill Realm filled the air, causing everyone's mind to tremble.
"Sect Leader …"
One of the elders suddenly exclaimed, "Your cultivation?!"
The rest of the elders came back to their senses. Only now did they notice that Gao Shengtian's aura was much stronger than before!
In the past, Gao Shengtian was at the initial stage of the Yuan Dan Pill Realm. Now, he was at the middle stage of the Yuan Dan Pill Realm!
"That's right. My cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Yuan Dan Pill!"
Gao Shengtian coldly snorted and slowly withdrew his cultivation. His eyes flickered with killing intent.
"Originally, when I came out of seclusion this time, I wanted to cripple the Purple Qi Sect in one go and completely swallow them up. But now, it seems that before I make a move against the Purple Qi Sect, I must first use this matter to establish my might!"
"Sect Master is wise!"
Many elders praised one after another.
A white-browed elder stroked his beard and smiled. "After being injured by you, that old fogey from the Purple Qi Sect has yet to recover from his injuries. Now that Sect Master's cultivation has broken through again, we must remove the Purple Qi Sect from the Western Horizontal Peak Meet this time!"
Gao Shengtian nodded and did not say much.
Very soon, the meeting dispersed. Suddenly, an urgent mission marked in red was distributed to the hands of every Essence Talisman Sect disciple.
"As long as you provide any effective clues, the Sect Master will accept you as a personal disciple and enjoy the treatment of a personal disciple!"
For a time, the entire Essence Talisman Sect went crazy.
To become the direct disciple of the Sect Leader, this was the dream of countless people.
Only Gao Shengtian was still standing in the meeting hall, his eyes filled with darkness.
Just now, he had concealed his emotions very well in front of others. But when the elders all left, the suppressed madness instantly erupted.
"Ming 'er … no matter who killed you, Father will extract his soul and refine it. I'll use it to make a Soul Lamp to illuminate your grave!"
Gao Shengtian suddenly raised his head, his voice hoarse. Unknowingly, his eyes had turned blood-red.
… …
On the other side.
On the way to the Purple Qi Sect, Chen Xiao gained a clearer understanding of the situation in the True Xuan Region and the predicament of the Purple Qi Sect.
The Purple Qi Sect was located in the True Xuan Region, in the Western Horizontal County of the Xuanwu Kingdom.
On the Shenwu Continent, there were as many countries and forces as there were stars in the sky, so many that it was impossible to count them all.
And small forces like the Purple Qi Sect were innumerable, like the grains of sand in the Ganges River.
Therefore …
For the sake of common interests, many small forces banded together to form the Hundred Sect Alliance, advancing and retreating together on important matters.
"However, the Hundred Sect Alliance's name list is not fixed."
Speaking of this, Xia Churou could not help but laugh bitterly. "Even the weakest of the Hundred Sect Alliance will enjoy quite a bit of special privileges. Therefore, every five years, the list will change."
And because this year's Alliance Summit was held in the Western Horizontal County, it was also called the Western Horizontal Summit.
"At the summit, the sect's top power, backbone power, new power, development potential and so on will be considered, and a brand new list of the Hundred Sect Alliance will be created. And those who fail will often end up very miserable."
As for how miserable it would be, there was no need for the girl to describe it. Chen Xiao could imagine it.
Compared to these youths, he understood the cruelty of the martial world better.
Normally speaking, once one was pushed down from the rankings, they would lose their special privileges and be swallowed up by others. This was the best outcome.
If those few new sects wanted to prevent the fallen from taking revenge, they might use extreme methods to beat them down into the abyss forever, never to recover!
"However, with Senior's help, the Purple Qi Sect still has a chance of passing this test."
As she spoke, Xia Churou's gaze quietly looked towards Chen Xiao.
They still did not know the true cultivation level of this' Senior Yao ', but a conservative estimate was that he was at least in the late Phase Realm!
A late Phase Realm was not enough to turn the situation around.
But if he could reach the peak of the Phase Realm, or even half a step into the Yuan Dan Pill … it would greatly increase the Purple Qi Sect's chances of winning!
"We're here!"
Half a day later, the group arrived at the entrance of the Purple Qi Sect.
The current Purple Qi Sect's entrance seemed slightly dilapidated.
In front of the entrance, on the empty square, there were almost no figures of disciples.
"Senior Sister Xia, you're back?"
Finally, a young disciple passed by with a face full of joy. Without saying anything further, he ran towards the depths of the sect.
"Lord Sect Leader! Senior Sister Xia is finally back!! "
In the next second.
An old man with a stooped back suddenly appeared.
