Chapter 103: Chaos (1/2)
Within the Spiritual Treasure sect, seven deadly spirits were flying about hunting down disciples from the Spiritual school and Treasure school.
Under the blood moon, the terrifying woman from the Blood sect was using secret spells to command the immense blood shade to repeatedly ram into the grand Heaven Burning Earth Flame formation.
All the guests who had come to the Treasure Convention were cursing as they secretly moved closer towards the edge of the Spiritual Treasure sect, just like Wu Xing and the others from the Cloudsoaring sect.
They all bore the same thought: once the Heaven Burning Earth Flame formation broke, they would exert all means to leave at the first possible moment, since none of them would choose to stay and fight for the Spiritual Treasure sect.
“Everybody, follow me, and by all means do not get separated!”
Wu Xing charged straight forward on the wide street, with Liu Yan, Shi Yi, and Luo Xin tightly following behind him. People from the Mystic Mist sect also stayed close to them.
Nie Tian, Jiang Lingzhu, and Ye Gumo looked on grim as they secretly drew from their spiritual power, getting ready to meet enemies that could appear at any moment.
At this moment, Pan Tao’s cry came through from behind them. “Nie Tian!”
The moment he looked back, he saw Pan Tao dashing towards them with bloodshot eyes.
Wu Xing also turned around, and when he realized that it was Pan Bai’s son, Pan Tao, he was somewhat surprised.
Pan Tao raised his voice and said, “Greetings, Senior Wu, Senior Weng! I’m know every corner of the Spiritual Treasure sect like the back of my hand. I can lead you out of here.”
Wu Xing’s expression flickered as he said, “Your father… didn’t want you to stay?”
Pan Tao’s eyes were full of sorrow as he nodded and said, “He wants me to get out of here alive with you.”
“Good! You lead the way!”Wu Xing said firmly.
He was aware of Pan Bai’s status, and that Pan Tao’s grandfather was the grand elder of the Spiritual school and also one of the main participants in the construction of the grand Heaven Burning Earth Flame spell formation.
Having Pan Tao lead the way, not only would it save them trouble while escaping from the Spiritual Treasure sect valley, but also they perhaps could find safer routes, so as to steer clear of the Ghost sect and the Blood sect once they were out of the valley.
Upon hearing Wu Xing’s words, Pan Tao quickly made it to the forefront of the group, and pointed out the directions to Wu Xing from time to time.
Wu Xing nodded as the group followed Pan Tao’s directions, moving further and further away from the broad streets in the central area of the valley. They didn’t choose to go to the main gate to the Spiritual Treasure sect, but rather marched towards one of the three stone mountain peaks.
As they marched along, Pan Tao said, “The moment the Heaven Burning Earth Fire formation is breached, the stone peaks that draw flames from the earth’s core might lose their function. The three stone peaks are hollow and hold tunnels that can lead us out of the valley. Of course, there might also be people from the Ghost sect and the Blood sect lurking out there. But, I believe that there won’t be a lot of powerful experts waiting over there.
“We trust your judgment!” said Dowager Weng.
They all believed that since Pan Tao wanted to get out alive, he wouldn’t possibly lie to them.
Pan Tao had grown up in the Spiritual Treasure sect. Therefore, he had a far better understanding of the surroundings. He knew everything about the valley, even the grass and trees, like the back of his hand.
Hence, under Pan Tao’s guidance, the group had moved further away from other guests, who were clueless fleeing in random directions, as they gradually approached one of the stone peaks.
CRACK!
A huge cracking noise suddenly echoed out above their heads. Nie Tian, who was rushing forward, looked up.
He found that a thin opening had been cracked open in the bright flaming shield that enveloped the vast sky. The immense blood shadow, which had been condensed by the bloody moonlight and spiritual power of the Blood sect female expert, had shoved its burly hands into the blood-colored crack and was continuously pulling to the sides.
In the sky, the female expert from the Blood sect, who was still sitting upright on top of her glittering, bloody lotus, suddenly snorted. “OPEN!”
CRUNCH!
Following her snort, the bloody shadow forcibly ripped open a large crack.
In the next moment, numerous red-garbed Blood sect experts came down from the sky and made their way through the crack, one after the other.
Guests were running about in the streets, shouting in extreme fear, and dashing out of the valley through the main gate at the fastest speed possible.
“Dammit! The grand Heaven Burning Earth Flame formation has been breached!”
“Let’s get out of here!”
“Death awaits whoever chooses to stay!”
At that moment however, a host of dark figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the valley, one after another. Numerous Ghost sect experts had been waiting at the valley entrance for a long time.
HUFF! HUFF! HUFF!
Also at that moment, numerous bloody figures descended from the sky, before immediately spreading out and starting to pursue and kill the fleeing people.
A few extremely powerful experts, on the other hand, threw themselves at the area where the Spiritual school and Treasure school was gathered, and instantly started to fight at close quarters.
BOOM!
All of a sudden, a gigantic bronze cauldron shot up into the sky from a crowd of Treasure school equipment forgers.
In the air, it pulsed with a multicolored, precious light.
The moment the precious light shone on the blood shadow that had cracked open the Heaven Burning Earth Flame formation, it surprisingly melted like a heated snowflake!
As soon as the Qi warriors from the Spiritual Treasure sect caught sight of the large bronze cauldron, they knew right away that their strongest expert had truly been angered.
