758 The Big Retreat of The Eastern Thunder Sec (2/2)
”But we are already forced to our extremes. The Devil Tribe has now gained control over the Transmitting Formation in the Qing Dynasty and their labor force is unceasing. There are more and more high grade Devil Tribe members, and their attacks are getting stronger! Even if we gather all the practitioners in Eastern Thunder World, they will not be able to withstand them!”
”I heard that the Transmitting Formation at the Boundless Sand Sea has already been destroyed?”
”Yes, it was destroyed by a practitioner who calls himself Taoist Cundi. In the course of a few days, he has killed countless numbers of Fierce Owls. His ability is a mystery, likewise with his background. Our Eastern Thunder World could not trace his roots at all. Hence, we're suspecting that this practitioner is not from here, not even from Easternmost Land!”
”That can't be right, whether or not he is from Easternmost Land, he was still able to defeat the defense put up by thousands of Devil Tribe members and enter the Boundless Sand Sea. He was able to destroy the Transmitting Formation by himself. His combat capability is definitely not below mine. Don't forget, other than the numerous Demon Tribe members, the Devil Kings are already of the Immortal Level. Their combat abilities are even stronger than normal Immortals. He was able to kill the Devil Kings, which shows that his combat ability is confirmed to be higher than that of an Immortal. Immortals are at least a practitioner at the Lord Level. You can literally count how many Lords there are in the Void Universe!”
”This guy's background is a complete mystery. We've checked against the known list of practitioners at the Lord Level and none of the entries match his description!”
”A practitioner at the Lord Level appearing in my Eastern Thunder World out of nowhere. At the same time, the world is invaded by the Devil Tribe. You tell me, how can there be such a coincidence in this world?”
”You mean to say that the invasion this time round is linked to this Taoist Cundi?”
”Whether it true or not, he is unable to change the ending of Eastern Thunder World. Go and spread the news, say that the Devil Tribe is too strong for our sect to handle. Eastern Thunder World is on the brink of collapse. In ten days' time, we'll re-open all the Transmitting Formations to evacuate the world. In order to prevent the Devil Tribe from ruining our plan, all formations will be set in the Eastern Thunder Sect. Make all practitioners gather there. Late-comers will not be entertained!”
”After hearing this, the person below the seat of the Master paused for a while as a light of doubt flashed in his eyes. Afterwards, his brains jerked violently as a thought flew into his mind. His body trembled and he lifted his head, turning it towards the colorful light and asked, horrified, ”Master, you want to...!”
”Don't think too much, go!” The Master of the Eastern Thunder Sect interrupted him and did not give him a chance to ask again. The colorful light shone even more brightly and enveloped the whole shadow.
”Yes sir!” The Elder felt helpless. He cupped his hands together and left with a horrified expression on his face.
”What? The Eastern Thunder Sect cannot take it anymore and is preparing to retreat?”
The news spread like wildfire across the entire Eastern Thunder World. When Zhou Bao heard the news, he was apparently shocked. Although the Devil Tribe was attacking strongly and had gained the absolute upper-hand, Eastern Thunder World did not lack the forces to withstand it. Although they might not be able to fight back, one or two years was all they needed to do so, especially for the Eastern Thunder Sect, the biggest sect in Eastern Thunder World. Among all things, although their protective formation could not be compared to the Yin and Yang Dust Formation, it was not something that the Devil Tribe could destroy simply by having large numbers. Even if there were more Fierce Owls and Devil Tribes, it was impossible to deplete half of the world's pneuma and the formation within two years. But now, Eastern Thunder World had suddenly decided to retreat. It was beyond Zhou Bao's wildest expectations that they would throw away the nest that they had guarded for thousands of years.
”You don't believe it right?”
”Of course not! Do you?”
”Me too. However, since the Eastern Thunder Sect sent out such a message and asked people to gather there, they should be planning on offering an explanation!”
”But why do I have such an extremely bad feeling about this?”
An extremely uncomfortable feeling lurked in Zhou Bao's heart. This was only his intuition, but it made him uncomfortable and even scared.
”No matter how you feel, let's go to the sect first. I think all your queries will be answered when we're there.”
