Chapter 415 Crisis Situation, 9 Meetings
The three returned to Ironflame City and entered the city, their brows furrowing slightly.
As night approached, the city gates were deserted, with no group of sect cultivators returning.
Even the shops and local cultivators on the main street were deserted. The entire city had only a handful of people, mostly the old, weak, sick, and disabled.
"What's going on? Where are the people?!"
Ye Chen was stunned. The usually bustling city gate street was now completely deserted.
Lu Xueyao frowned slightly and shook her head silently; she sensed that something bad was about to happen.
Xu Xiao said calmly, "Let's contact the sect first; they should all be back by now."
He had a premonition that the Yin Sha Realm would completely break off relations tomorrow.
Most of the cultivators in the city had already been possessed by Yin spirits, and those who left the city now were most likely the Yin Sha Heavenly Sect gathering its members.
The leaders of the nine sects within the city had already hurriedly returned to their respective residences.
"Oh no!!"
"Numerous Mahayana Yin spirits have suddenly appeared in the Yin Sha Realm!! Our sect's Supreme Elder Nanming has gone missing!!!"
"And also my two Supreme Elders, Zongji Sha and Daoming!!"
"Holy crap!! Elder Zixiao, something terrible has happened!! Elder Longguang has been possessed!!! Elder Daohe is also missing!!!"
"It's over!! The entire team led by Elder Xuantian has gone missing!!!"
Upon investigation of the returning disciples of the Nine Sects, it was found that half of the Supreme Elders had returned.
Everything was fine yesterday, but something's suddenly wrong today!
Where are the people of Ironflame City?!
Each of the nine sects has lost contact with its supreme elders, and even among the dozens of second-rate sects, fewer than ten teams have returned.
By this calculation, more than half of the Mahayana cultivators on the Tianyuan Continent have lost contact!
At the Wuwang Immortal Sect's residence, Yu Bing was checking people in the courtyard.
Ye Chen returned and hurriedly reported, "Sect Leader Yu, something terrible has happened! My master and Elder Di Ling have been possessed by Yin spirits! Po Xie Xuan Chen and the others have also fallen victim to the Yin spirits' poisonous attacks!"
"what?!"
Yu Bing's stunningly beautiful face changed drastically, and a solemn expression appeared as she opened her beautiful eyes.
Upon hearing this, Master Shangshui turned pale. The two Supreme Elders had been possessed?!
Everything was fine before!
I was stunned, and then I was terrified.
Changyue, Fenglan, and Moshu were all present. Xu Xiao scanned them with his divine sense and found that none of the returning cultivators had been possessed. Among the Mahayana cultivators, only Zhao Wuji's spirit was affected.
Yu Bing sensed the Mahayana aura emanating from Ye Chen and frowned in surprise, asking, "Elder Ye, when did you advance to the Mahayana stage?"
Tears welled in Ye Chen's eyes, but he smiled handsomely and said with a confident glint in his eyes, "Sect Leader, Elders, Master and Elder Di Ling were possessed. I was there at the time, so I had no choice but to release my seal and show my true strength."
"I fought two of them and drove them away."
The Supreme Elder and the remaining dozen or so inner sect elders looked at Ye Chen in shock.
Elder Ye... he actually concealed his Mahayana cultivation level?!
Only Xu Xiao shook his head and smiled, "Keep pretending, you're full of tears inside, aren't you?"
He was too lazy to point it out.
After a brief moment of surprise, Ye Chen managed to put on a brave face and gain some comfort, before everyone began to confront their perilous situation.
The sect disciples who remained in the city today said, "Sect Leader! It's like this! After you left today, rumors spread throughout the city that a Great Dao Divine Tree was discovered somewhere in the Dark Forest outside the city, and that countless Great Dao Divine Pills grow on the tree."
"Many people have confirmed that this is true, and quite a few people have brought back divine pills to show off. Everyone is leaving the city to search for the Great Dao Divine Tree!"
"We followed the sect leader's orders and did not leave the city."
Yu Bing's face darkened, and she said angrily, "Is there even a question? It must be a treacherous plot by the Yin spirits! They want to wipe out all the cultivators of my Iron Flame City!"
"They haven't come back yet, the outcome is self-evident!"
"Quickly go to the City Lord's Mansion and inform Xiao Pengchun! Tell him to take us back to Tianyuan Continent immediately!"
I originally wanted to gather more resources for a few more days, thinking that possession by a ghost was just a normal risk.
Unexpectedly, the situation has changed drastically today. So many Mahayana cultivators have been possessed. The Yin Sha Realm can no longer be allowed to exist!
As everyone nodded, Xu Xiao stepped forward, shook his head, and said, "It's no use, it's too late."
"What does that mean?" Everyone, look over here.
Xu Xiao said calmly, "When I killed a Mahayana Yin Soul, I learned from him that Xiao Pengchun, the patriarch of the Xiao family, was probably the first person to be possessed by a Yin Soul and had already left Iron Flame City."
"What the hell?!!"
They were struck dumb, their faces turned deathly pale, and their eyes were filled with panic.
The reason they could remain calm was entirely because the Xiao family's Mahayana ancestor was there, able to control the return of Ironflame City at any time.
Is it true that the Xiao family patriarch was the first to be possessed?
Nima!
How will they get back?!
This shocking news left everyone completely stunned.
Even Ye Chen, who had just finished showing off, looked at Xu Xiao in horror, completely dumbfounded. "Impossible!!"
"Quickly inform the eight major immortal sects! Convene a meeting of the nine sects immediately!!"
A quarter of an hour later, in the main hall of the Wuwang Immortal Sect's residence.
The remaining Mahayana cultivators from the nine major sects gathered here for a meeting, while the inner sect elders and disciples of the nine sects waited anxiously in the courtyard, forming a densely packed crowd.
Everyone knows the situation.
Damn Xiao Pengchun, that bastard! No wonder he gave them so many suppressing magical artifacts in the first place!
That scoundrel is only trying to help the Yin spirits possess the Mahayana cultivators of the Nine Sects!
Shit!!
They've fallen into their trap!
They escaped! They're trapped, like fish in a barrel!
The remaining cultivators from various second-rate sects also gathered in the courtyard of the Wuwang Immortal Sect. All the Mahayana cultivators from the second-rate sects combined were now less than ten.
People were filled with fear and unease. Faced with this sudden and shocking conspiracy, everyone set aside their differences and prepared to work together to deal with the crisis.
In the main hall, six Mahayana cultivators from the Wuwang Immortal Sect, including Ye Chen, were seated, and they held the most power of speech.
Xu Xiao stood behind Yu Bing, entrusted by her to check the possession situation of various sects.
Now that we've finished looking, everyone who came back is fine, and the remaining cultivators in Ironflame City should not have been possessed.
The remaining Mahayana sect leaders and elders of the eight great immortal sects sat around him. Upon learning of Xiao Pengchun's escape, they all frowned and looked grief-stricken.
The Misty Immortal Sect has only three Mahayana cultivators left: Sect Leader Gongsun Feilong, Elder Qian Yuan, and Elder Zi Xiao.
The latter was a beautiful woman in purple, with unparalleled elegance.
The Supreme Immortal Sect has lost contact with two Mahayana cultivators, leaving only the sect leader Bai Wuchen and the Supreme Elder Jingxu, the latter being a quiet and gentle woman.
The Blood Slaughtering Sect also lost contact with two people. Only the middle-aged sect leader, Mo Jitian, and the Supreme Elder, Xue Kui, were present. Xue Kui was a seductive woman dressed in revealing clothing.
The Ten Thousand Demons Holy Sect suffered a terrible fate. Three of its four Mahayana cultivators were possessed, and only its sect leader, Mo Lihai, returned wounded. It is said that he was attacked by three people and was seriously injured.
The Five Thunder Immortal Sect is now left with Sect Leader Sanyun and Venerable Mingjing.
The Jade Cauldron Immortal Sect suffered the least losses, with only three Mahayana cultivators remaining, including Li Xinghun, and only one person lost.
The Qingyun Immortal Sect, without further ado, was represented by Sect Leader Lu Xueyao and Elder Qingsong.
The worst off was the Heavenly Fiend Demon Sect of the Western Region, where the entire sect was wiped out. All four Mahayana cultivators were out of contact, and a trembling Inner Elder of the Integration Realm was holding a meeting on their behalf.
Each group suffered heavy losses; losing contact is tantamount to being possessed.
More than half of the Mahayana cultivators on the Tianyuan Continent have been lost.
Gongsun Feilong's face was completely drained of color, and he had no mind to care about Xu Xiao's mess.
He stood up and cried out, "Sect Leaders! Elders! The Yin Sha Heavenly Sect's conspiracy has probably been planned for tens of thousands of years! We just happened to stumble upon it!!"
"The fate of all the cultivators in the city is self-evident!! They'll all be possessed as soon as they leave the city!!"
"More than half of us Mahayana cultivators have had our bodies possessed!! We are no match for them alone!!"
"Damn it, we have to break through the barrier and notify the sect immediately!! We can't stop so many Yin spirits from attacking us alone!!"
He was completely terrified.
