Chapter 286 - 136: Cultivation Shortcut, Fake Pill Realm (8k merged chapter for monthly tickets) 4
At the time when Liang Sheng was happy about making progress in his cultivation, the Internal Affairs Department of the Dan Ding Sect was shocked.
Because of the movements in the Back Mountain Hunting Grounds, they temporarily closed the area and sent Golden Core Daoists to investigate, and at first, they didn’t find any anomalies.
However, this was the time for the sect’s high-level meeting. After the Head of the Internal Affairs Department reported the matter, for some reason, Dandingzi suddenly released his Divine Sense to probe.
At first, he showed no unusual reactions, and his expression seemed indifferent. But after a while, his face changed dramatically.
Unexpectedly, at the center of the Back Mountain Hunting Grounds, where it connects with the Beast Swamp, a new passage appeared, less than a meter wide.
This almost gave Dandingzi cold sweats, as he knew clearly that they had closed off the connection between the Back Mountain Hunting Grounds and the Beast Swamp due to the beast tide. How could there be a new passage?
If they accidentally discovered this situation this time, what would happen if demonic beasts enter the Back Mountain Hunting Grounds through the Beast Swamp in the future, and there happened to be disciples in there? The consequences would be unimaginable.
This was just the surface result. What if something had changed in the Beast Swamp?
Seeing Dandingzi’s reaction, the others immediately knew there was something unusual. After Dandingzi explained the situation, everyone was shocked.
The beast tide had clearly ended, so how could this happen? The next moment, Dandingzi took everyone to the Back Mountain Hunting Grounds.
When they saw the passage to the Beast Swamp with their own eyes, no one could speak. It was evident that this was not a passage dug by their sect before.
Furthermore, the width of the passage showed that it had been directly created from the other side of the Beast Swamp.
It was just that no demonic beasts had come in before, so no one had noticed this. As of now, it was considered fortunate among the misfortunes.
Since no demonic beasts had come from the Beast Swamp, they had discovered the passage just in time to limit the damage.
Just as Dandingzi was considering how to handle this passage, the Qi within it suddenly became chaotic.
“Not good.”
Dandingzi’s face changed immediately, and he didn’t hesitate. There was no time to think, and they had to block the passage as soon as possible.
“It seems that the other side of the Beast Swamp has noticed our movements. After all, our cultivators’ Qi conflicts with the Beast Swamp. Maybe it’s because there were too many of us coming this time, so they noticed something was wrong and wanted to force their way through.”
“Quick, let’s block the passage together.”
The next moment, Dandingzi took the lead to exert his power, and the other Golden Core Daoists quickly assisted, and in a short while, the passage disappeared completely.
However, they were not too relieved in their hearts, as just before they blocked the passage, they had clearly heard the frightening roars of beasts.
At least one Demon King, and possibly even…
No one dared to think further. At this time, Dandingzi spoke, “Junior brother, send some people to guard here. If anything unusual happens, notify us immediately.”
After Dandingzi instructed a few Golden Core Daoists from the Internal Affairs Department and the Discipline Hall to guard here, he took the rest back to Danyang Peak and immediately sent messages to their sect.
After a while, Dandingzi received a reply, and his face became extremely ugly after reading the information.
It was too late!
Just now, Beast Swamp passages had appeared in all the sects’ Back Mountain Hunting Grounds, and a large number of demonic beasts suddenly emerged from them. Many disciples were killed instantly by the surprise attacks.
These demonic beasts were fearless and had clear goals, dragging the bodies of the dead disciples back into the passages, regardless of the state of the passages.
So, the other sects also blocked these passages in time, but the damage had already been done, and the losses were heavy.
What was even more frustrating was the situation in the Back Mountain Hunting Grounds of the Upper Green Sect. As the Upper Green Sect had been divided among the other sects, how could the others care about its Back Mountain Hunting Grounds?
Precisely because of this, the location of the Upper Green Sect had become hell, and only a few of its Golden Core Daoists and a small number of disciples managed to escape.
The Upper Green Sect had become a main camp for the demonic beasts, and astonishingly, the beast tide had come again after just over a hundred years.
Were it not for the accidental discovery of the passage in the Dan Ding Sect causing the Beast Swamp to launch an attack prematurely, the situation might have been even worse.
After all, the Two Sects and Six Paths didn’t have much focus on the Beast Swamp now. If they waited for the beasts to prepare, the result would be extremely tragic.
After that, the Dan Ding Sect’s actions were extremely swift, activating the Second Mountain-protecting Array and sealing the Back Mountain Hunting Grounds. All they could do now was wait for news.
Because the situation of the other sects would determine their next steps. The high-level cultivators of the Dan Ding Sect were all wondering, how could the beast tide return so soon after just a hundred years?
What was going on?
Wasn’t the growth time of demonic beasts longer than that of cultivators?
At this time, everyone was filled with unease, as even in the history of the Three Sects and Six Orders spanning tens of thousands of years, this kind of situation had never occurred before.
But Dandingzi could only try to calm everyone down for now. All he could do at this point was to wait for news, hoping that the situation would not be too terrible.
Green Cloud Peak.
Liang Sheng was feeling uneasy at this moment.
Bad luck!
Thankfully, it wasn’t a sign of extreme bad luck. Liang Sheng could only comfort himself with that. Still, it had been a sign of great fortune previously, so the sudden change to bad luck made him feel uneasy..
