810 A Sudden Change And The Secret Of Heaven-Receiving Door (2/2)

A dim radiance flashed past the person's eyes, but it disappeared almost immediately, only to be replaced by calmness.

Then, the person went away speedily.

Yin Yang Hall gradually became livelier as countless disciples started to gather around. However, every one of them looked solemn.

…

What happened in Yin Yang Hall was completely different from the development in Heaven Dao Pavilion.

Heaven Dao Pavilion was currently at its quietest. There weren't many disciples guarding the sword peak, and the number of disciples in the sect was much fewer than the normal times too.

Obviously, this wasn't because all of them had died.

As the initiator of the 'Heaven Alliance Meeting' this time, they had already left for 'Heaven Zen Mountain', which was located at the center of the Holy Region, a long time ago.

Therefore, there were fewer than 100 disciples remaining in Heaven Dao Pavilion at the moment.

All the administrative matters were handed over to the Sixth elder, as all other elders had left for Heaven Zen Mountain together with the sect leader, Mu Qingfeng.

However, the disciples tasked with guarding the Heaven-Receiving Door at the Heaven Academic Altar were still standing around the door dutifully.

The Heaven-Receiving Door was built entirely from jade rock, giving it an ancient but simple look. The door was exuding a depressing air which made the surrounding atmosphere grim.

”Senior brother, I feel like the Heaven-Receiving Door… Is little strange recently!” a disciple in a white scholar's robe turned towards and the middle-aged man beside him and said.

”Strange? What's strange about it?” the middle-aged man replied softly.

”I don't know. Don't you feel that it's getting increasingly harder to breathe near the door?” said the disciple in a white scholar's robe in a tired tone.

”Aren't you just feeling agitated because of the changes in the outside world that you've heard about?”

”Senior brother, I…”

”I can understand how you feel, since I was in the same position before. It's perfectly fine if you feel like exploring the outside world, since the changes meant new opportunities too. However, since we were tasked by our master to guard the door, we have to carry out our duties. Otherwise, we'd be breaking the rules and the laws of the Heaven Dao!”

”Senior brother, you're right. I know my mistakes now…” the disciple in white lowered his head and touched his chest as he took a deep breath to calm himself down.

However, his body suddenly trembled and his eyes went agape before he could exhale completely. He was even coughing badly because he couldn't control his breathing.

”Junior brother, what's wrong?” asked the middle-aged man when he saw the other disciple's face turning bright red.

The other disciples were looking at him with a confused expression too.

”Door… Door, senior brother… The door…” the disciple in white was obviously out of breath because he was overwhelmed by fear. He looked extremely terrified at the moment. Although he couldn't speak clearly, he still did his best and pointed towards the door.

”Door? What… Hmmm? Door… Door?!” the middle-aged man quickly looked towards the direction the disciple in white was pointing at after a short while.

However, when he saw the Heaven-Receiving Door, he went from looking confused to looking terrified just like the disciple in white.

Terror!

It was a heartfelt terror!

It didn't mean that he was too emotionally weak, because what happened at the Heaven Receiving Door was completely out of his control.

The other few disciples were stupefied and left slack-jawed as well.

”Call the master, call the master now!” exclaimed the middle-aged man, with his face pale as a sheet.

”Master? Didn't… Didn't he leave for the Heaven Alliance Meeting?”

”Oh c.r.a.p… Master isn't here?! Hurry up and inform the Sixth elder, quick… The other disciples will follow me and stop…” the middle-aged man gave an order soon after he reacted to the sudden change.

However, he didn't finish his order, because a b.l.o.o.d.y radiance had grabbed his neck in that split second and dragged him towards the Heaven Receiving Door.

”Ah!”

”Senior brother?!” the other disciples intuitively rushed towards the door to rescue the middle-aged man.

However, they regretted their decisions almost right away.

That was because the same b.l.o.o.d.y radiance had come for them in the form of numerous b.l.o.o.d.y claws.

Crack!

That was the sound of bones breaking.

The disciples all collapsed, leaving only the disciple in white standing at where he was.

”He… Help! The Heaven… Heaven Receiving Door… Door… Has opened?!” the disciple in white kept trembling and yelling. Blood was falling onto the ground in front of him, painting the rocks red.

The other disciples' eyes were wide open with disbelief, or rather, because they didn't want to die just like that.

However, the most eerie part was that the middle-aged man who was first caught by the b.l.o.o.d.y radiance was kneeling on the ground with his head low and his palms together.

It looked like he was performing some sort of ancient ritual.

This occurred so quickly that it was spine-chillingly creepy. Even the calm and collected disciples of Heaven Dao Pavilion almost broke when they saw this.

”Junior brother, what's wrong!”

”Eh? Senior brother w.a.n.g… Why is he kneeling… Kneeling in front of the Heaven Receiving Door… Oh no, alert the Sixth elder now!”

”Ah… Senior brother Li, junior brother Meng! What happened to them?!”

Three disciples who had just arrived after hearing the call for help also turned pale instantaneously. After all, the disciples lying down in the pool of blood and the middle-aged man kneeling in front of the Heaven Receiving Door, were clear indicators that the door was acting abnormally.

One of them turned and left without any hesitation. Out of the two remaining disciples, one went toward the disciple in white, while the other moved towards the Heaven Receiving Door carefully.

His target… Was naturally the middle-aged man kneeling in front of the door.
