Sect Master, I will go out and kill this sea beast.” A Gold Body Realm expert stepped forward with a graceful bow, exuding an imposing aura.
Alright, go quickly and return quickly!” The Black Mountain Sect Master gave a slight nod.
As long as it’s not an overly powerful sea beast, one or two Gold Body Realm experts should be enough. This individual was the Heavenly Pride Fu Feng of the Black Mountain Sect, possessing the ability to fight across realms, and killing a sea beast that attacked the sect protection array would be as easy as flipping his hand.
It wasn’t surprising that he was so confident, as in the past, the attacking sea beasts had always been only at the Sixth Rank.
However, as soon as his voice fell, the surrounding space began to tremble violently again, and the sturdy and thick hall started to show slight cracks.
No, this attack is different from the past ones, it’s more powerful, I’m afraid it’s at least a Seventh Rank sea beast!”
Someone’s voice trembled, speaking with disbelief.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the experts in the hall changed again.
A Seventh Rank sea beast was as powerful as a Rune Seed Realm expert, and if they were targeted by such a powerful sea beast, the days of the Black Mountain Sect would be in jeopardy.
Previously, Heavenly Pride Fu Feng who had asked to go to the battlefield, his complexion also became serious.
He had no fear in facing a Sixth Rank sea beast.
But if it were a Seventh Rank sea beast, the situation would be entirely different.
A Seventh Rank sea beast?” The Black Mountain Sect Master’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, waving his hand and saying, “In that case, ignore it for now, let it make a fuss for a while, and it will leave on its own.”
The sect protection array of the Black Mountain Sect could withstand a Golden Core Realm expert for a short period.
A Seventh Rank sea beast would be unable to break through the sect protection array.
It would be troublesome to get rid of it, so they could only hunker down inside.
Sect Master, why not ask the Supreme Elder to leave seclusion and personally lead a team to support the White Lotus Sect? This way, we can alleviate the suspicions of the White Lotus Sect to the greatest extent.”
Seeing the hesitation of the Black Mountain Sect Master, the Great Elder suggested.
The Supreme Elder has been in seclusion, and I don’t want to disturb him unless absolutely necessary.”
The Black Mountain Sect Master waved his hand slightly and pondered, “To show our sincerity, I will personally lead the team, and Great Elder will stay behind at the sect, keeping an eye on the changes in the battle situation. If anything unexpected happens, make a decision right away.”
Sect Master…” The Great Elder wanted to speak further but was stopped by the Sect Master of Black Mountain Sect.
Alright, the decision has been made. Order the sect’s True Qi Realm disciples and above, as well as the Resident Elders, to assemble tomorrow morning. I will personally decide who will stay behind and who will go to battle.”
As the words fell, the Black Mountain Sect Master stood up, ready to leave the hall.
But at this moment,
A crisp noise came from outside, as if something was shattering.
Not good!
As if foreseeing something, the Black Mountain Sect Master’s pupils were filled with horror, and he quickly picked up his pace and appeared outside the hall.
Looking up, the mysterious light barrier that had enveloped the sky had shattered, turning into a series of streamers that fell towards the various peaks of the Black Mountain Sect.
The sect protection array is broken!
At this moment, many disciples of the Black Mountain Sect had their eyes filled with shock.
The sect protection array had been broken, an event that had not occurred in hundreds of years.
The last time the sect protection array had been broken had been over eight hundred years ago, and the Black Mountain Sect’s inheritance had almost been destroyed.
What about this time?
At this point, many of the experts in the hall also appeared outside right away,
Their eyes were all fixed on the vortex that was constantly expanding, where a large awl was spinning wildly, trying to completely destroy the sect protection array.
Ar ray Breaking Awl!”
Looking at the pitch-black Array Breaking Awl that had been magnified countless times, the eyes of the Black Mountain Sect Master were filled with coldness and fear.
Although he had not personally experienced the scene of the sect’s high-level figures being slaughtered when the sect protection array was broken over eight hundred years ago, everything related to it had been passed down through generations of Sect Masters.
Therefore, he was very clear about the Array Breaking Awl and how similar the current crisis facing the Black Mountain Sect was to that of the past.
The brink of life and death.
Furthermore, the current Black Mountain Sect was far from its peak.
Sect Master, what is that thing?” Fu Feng asked with trembling voice.
The onlookers also looked towards the Black Mountain Sect Master, clearly shocked by the treasure that had broken the sect protection array.
Array Breaking Awl, a weapon that Morigin uses against the Hundred Sects. It is the nemesis of our Hundred Sects!”
The Sect Master of the Black Mountain Sect slowly spoke, his brain racing at lightning speed as he pondered over the next course of action.
The Array Breaking Awl had appeared, so how could Morigin’s Demon Suppression Army not have arrived?!
Array Breaking Awl!” Most of the strong experts were somewhat puzzled upon hearing this name, while the Great Elder’s ancient eyes slightly narrowed, he exclaimed:
How is it possible? Weren’t the White Lotus Sect and the Red Moon Demon Sect the main targets of the Demon Suppression Army? How did they appear outside of our Black Mountain Sect?”
He could not believe it, nor did he dare to imagine it.
But, they’ve already come, and they’ve even broken through our sect protection array.”
The Sect Master of the Black Mountain Sect said with trembling voice: “The Morigin’s Demon Suppression Army has arrived, and their target is pointed straight towards our Black Mountain Sect. Notify all disciples of the Sect to immediately… run…”
After saying this, it seemed as though he had exhausted all his strength, becoming extremely weak.
Run?” Including the Great Elder, everyone could hardly believe that such words would come out of their Sect Master’s mouth.
Our Black Mountain Sect is too weak. Being targeted by the Demon Suppression Army, there’s only one outcome — total annihilation. The only solution is to flee.”
He was well aware of how formidable the Demon Suppression Army outside must be, considering they were able to deploy a precious treasure like the Array Breaking Awl.
With the current strength of the Black Mountain Sect, they simply couldn’t resist. Escaping was the best option.
“But…
Listen to my order, hurry and inform the disciples of the Sect to flee!” The Black Mountain Sect Master roared with all his might.
Upon seeing this, the Golden Body Realm experts finally realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly headed towards the various mountaintops.
Great Elder, why are you not leaving?
The Sect Master of the Black Mountain Sect looked at the Great Elder beside him and spoke indifferently.
Aren’t you also not leaving, Sect Master?
I’m not leaving because it’s my responsibility and mission.
You are the Sect Master, and I am the Great Elder. Staying behind is also my responsibility.”
The Great Elder smiled and said: “Moreover, with my body on the verge of breaking down, I won’t last much longer. If I can buy some more time for the disciples to escape, it’s worth it.”
Under their gaze, with a ‘puff,’ the array completely collapsed, revealing the true void in front of them.
In that boundless deep space, enormous warships descended one after another, completely enveloping the sky above the Black Mountain Sect.
Demon Suppression Army!”
Gazing at the massive warships that filled the entire sky, the Sect Master of the Black Mountain Sect’s eyes were filled with chill.
Although he already knew in his heart that it was undoubtedly the Demon Suppression Army that had arrived, seeing the actual colossal warships, his mood sank to rock bottom.
Great Elder, today we shall fight side by side!” The Sect Master of the Black Mountain Sect deeply looked at the palace behind him one last time, and finally, his eyes rested on the Great Elder.
The Great Elder stood with his hands behind his back and uttered a single word from his mouth.
Battle!
Immediately after, he stepped into the sky, preparing to strike horizontally at the incoming Demon Suppression Army.
At the same time, the news of the Demon Suppression Army’s arrival spread throughout the Black Mountain Sect’s three palaces and nine peaks in an instant.
These disciples, upon receiving orders from their Peak Masters and Elders, were all shocked.
Not fighting and running away, this is not the proper behavior of the disciples of the Black Mountain Sect. I, Xiao Zhan, request permission to join the fray!”
I, Wang Bo, also request permission to fight!
The true inheritor of the Sect, Luo Yunxi, requests permission to fight!
With a great enemy approaching, the only command issued by the sect was to flee, which the disciples couldn’t accept. Consequently, they clamored to join the battle.
However, when they saw those colossal warships in the sky, which were like clouds hanging above, everyone was intimidated and momentarily, no one requested to join the battle.
The disciples who had previously clamored to join the battle hesitated, not knowing what was on their minds.
Fleeing without fighting may be shameful, but what’s the big deal as long as it ensures the survival of the Sect’s inheritance?”
Looking at these disciples who were silent one by one, a strong expert from the Black Mountain Sect spoke: “Go, this Peak Master will lead you all to break through!”
This time, no disciple refused.
Scenes like this happened simultaneously in many places in the Black Mountain Sect.
Aboard the warship, Wei Zongcheng withdrew the Array Breaking Awl and coldly observed the chaotic state of the Black Mountain Sect below.
