Chapter 140 - Coincidence
Chapter 140: Coincidence
Almost at the same time.
The disciples guarding the life lamps of the six great sects of the Eastern Continent were all shocked by the scene in front of them.
The life lamp was known as life lamps because, as its name implied, it was a keepsake that symbolized the existence of a person’s life.
When a cultivator’s cultivation base exceeded the Foundation Establishment Stage, he or she could brand his or her aura and refine it into the form of a life lamp. This lamp was usually kept in the faction he or she belonged to, so that he or she could know the life and death of a person with the life lamp.
If the person with the lamp was unlucky enough to be killed, they could also use the lamp to find out who had killed them and when and where had they died.
Therefore, when a lamp was extinguished, most of the time, it meant that one person had already died.
At this moment, in the main hall of the Qingshui Sect, where the life lamp was stored!
Whoosh!
Two relatively bright candles suddenly extinguished without wind!
The disciple guarding the lamp rubbed his eyes and looked at the extinguished candles again.
Puff, puff, puff!
A shocking scene happened. After the two small candles were extinguished, a particularly eye-catching flame in the hall of life lamps was also extinguished instantly.
“It’s extinguished, it’s really extinguished! Another f*cking one has extinguished!”
“This life lamp is so bright, whose is it?”
The disciple opened the record book.
Suddenly, his eyes widened as if he had seen something unbelievable.
After a long while, he slowly came back to his senses.
The moment he came back to his senses, the disciple who was guarding the lantern hurriedly ran outside.
He stumbled and knocked down a few disciples by the side of the road without even knowing it.
Looking at his anxious look, it was as if something extraordinary had happened.
The surrounding Qingshui Sect disciples all cast strange looks at him.
“Are you looking for death? Why are you running so fast to be reincarnated?”
“Yi! He seems to be a disciple guarding the sect’s life lamp. could something have happened to him?”
“Now that the demons are so rampant, it’s not strange for someone to die. What a fuss!”
…
In the Clear Water Sect, there was a huge bell hanging outside the hall guarding the lamp.
This bell was made of pure copper and was more than ten meters tall.
Apart from its huge size, its body was engraved with the engravings of mountains, rivers, flowers, and birds. The design was simple yet profound.
If there was no major event happening in the sect, this bell must not be rung at all costs.
In the next moment, the melodious sound of the bell rang throughout the entire Qingshui Sect.
The person who rang the bell was the previous lantern-keeping disciple.
In the main hall of the Qingshui Sect.
The people who were originally discussing how to jointly deal with the demon race suddenly frowned when they heard the bell.
Although they did not know what the bell meant, they knew that it was not a good sign if it was sounded.
“Great Elder Yin, what’s the situation with your sect’s bell?”
Suddenly, someone said this in puzzlement. Everyone turned their eyes to the Great Elder of the Clear Water Sect.
At this moment, Great Elder Yin Yijun’s expression was a bit strange. There was a hint of puzzlement in his dullness, and a hint of disbelief in his puzzlement. Then, there was a hint of astonishment.
As the Grand Elder of the Clear Water Sect, Yin Yijun knew very well what this bell chime meant.
After he had confirmed the bell chime once more, only then did he reveal an anxious expression.
At this moment, he could not care about the gazes of the various forces. Instead, he said coldly to a disciple beside him.
“Little Ming, quickly bring the disciple who rang the bell here.”
“Yes! Grand Elder!”
The disciple replied and then left the main hall.
After Yin Buping left, he arranged for their Great Elder to gather all the forces to discuss the great plan to exterminate the devil. Besides the elders of the six great sects, there were also disciples of all sizes and powers who were present.
When they were discussing at the critical moment, such a sudden scene stunned everyone.
Everyone looked at each other, but they did not dare to discuss loudly.
After all, this was the Qingshui Sect’s home ground, so they could only wait patiently for what would happen next.
They all had a premonition that what would happen next would not be easy to handle.
After all, for the number two figure of the Qingshui Sect to lose his composure, something extraordinary must have happened.
“It’s been three hundred years, and the bell is ringing again.”
Yin Yijun’s expression was solemn.
In the Eastern Wastelands, people might not know the great elder of the Qingshui Sect, but Yin Yijun’s name was known by many people.
However, at this moment, Yin Yijun’s face was full of discomposure.
“Report! The disciple guarding the lamp has been brought in!”
“Bring him in!”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Yin Yijun’s personal disciple brought a middle-aged man in a gray robe in.
After a simple disciple greeting, he stood to the side and waited.
Yin Yijun nodded.
He did not start asking questions immediately, but turned his gaze to the people present.
“Everyone, this is a family matter of our Qingshui Sect. I hope that everyone can move to the back hall to rest for a while. After this old man has settled the matters of the sect, we can talk about the great plan to exterminate the devil later.”
His meaning was already very clear. He did not want anyone to be present.
Everyone else were not young brats and immediately understood!
They all greeted each other and tactfully walked towards the back hall.
At this moment, a voice transmission talisman lit up in one of their arms. He let out a soft exclamation and stopped in his tracks.
Immediately after, as if there was a chain reaction, the few sect elders representing the five great sects who had come to discuss cooperation also heard the sound transmission talisman’s movements from their storage rings.
The five of them looked at each other, then sped up and walked out of the hall.
The elder of the Swallow Cloud Sect was the first to open the sound transmission talisman.
Then, his face suddenly darkened.
“Wait, the Sect Master’s life lamp is abnormal?”
“Don’t worry, speak slowly, what’s abnormal?”
“It’s… It’s destroyed!”
An elder of the Swallow Cloud Sect muttered, his brain suddenly buzzing. At this moment, the crowd had not completely walked out of the main hall, so his words were heard clearly by everyone.
What was going on?
The Sect Master of the Swallow Cloud Sect was dead? That was impossible, right?
The rest of the people did not know, but the elders of the six great sects knew very well. Their Sect Master had already gone to the Mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect three days ago. How could there suddenly be news of an accident?
And he was a sect master of the six great sects together. Who would dare to make a move on these big tigers?
They had gone together. Now, the voice transmission talismans of the elders of the six great sects had all lit up. Could it be…
When the elders of the six great sects thought of this, their pupils constricted.
F*ck! It couldn’t be such a coincidence, right.
The thought of the voice transmission coming at the same time made their scalps go numb.
The remaining four elders of the big sects connected the sound transmission talisman at the same time!
The sound transmission talisman made a more hurried sound!
However, the moment they heard the news, the expressions of the elders of the other sects were surprisingly the same as those of the elders of the Yan Yun Sect.
It was unbelievable and even a bit suspicious!
“Second elder, the life lamp of the Master of the Qingshui Sect has been extinguished!”
“Second Elder, the life lamp of the Sect Master of my Coiling Dragon Sect has just been extinguished. First Elder asked me to inform you to come back as soon as possible!”
“First Elder, the life lamp of the sect Master of my Sun Moon Sect has been extinguished…”
“The life lamp of the Sect Master of my Wuwo Sect has been extinguished in fifteen minutes!”
Hiss! Hiss!
Voices echoed in the Great Hall, and the effect was no less than the self-detonation of an Ascendant Stage powerhouse cultivator.
Everyone’s hearts were suddenly filled with waves. The waves were as majestic as a tall and heavy mountain, and they began to suffocate everyone.
For a moment, the scene was silent!
Yin Yijun, who had not dared to confirm it, had an ugly expression on his face.
A heavy voice reverberated in the hall.
“Speak, what happened in the hall guarding the life lamps? Why did you ring the Nine Dragon Bell?”
The disciple collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.
“Grand Elder, the life lamps of the sect leader and the boy beside him were extinguished one after another fifteen minutes ago.”
It was over, something big had happened!
This was the thought that flashed through everyone’s minds at this moment!
