Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Seeing this, Hou Dongbai and the others looked at each other and did not hesitate at all.
Other than Gu Yuefeng, who stayed to recuperate, the others all chased in the direction that Red Lotus Venerable had fled.
Jiang Chengxuan and the others, who watched the entire fight from a safe distance, could not help but be shocked.
They really did not expect Gu Yuefeng to have such a powerful trump card.
Facing the Red Lotus Demonic Golem that was clearly above the Golden Core, they could actually kill it so easily.
Against the iron sword, the Golden Core demonic cultivators were helpless.
But thinking about it, it made sense.
Without such a trump card, they wouldn’t have waded into the nest of these demonic cultivators so resolutely.
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan and the others hurriedly came to Gu Yuefeng’s side to protect him.
In the battle just now, as the holder of the iron sword, Gu Yuefeng suffered a huge backlash.
Gu Yuefeng nodded at Jiang Chengxuan and the others.
Then, he took out a healing pill and swallowed it.
About a few hours later.
Hou Dongbai and the others, who had gone to chase after the escaping demonic cultivators, finally returned.
Other than Demon Sun and the demonic youth who had died previously, the Red Lotus Venerable and the hook-nosed demonic cultivator both died in their hands.
Only Wang Tiansheng, the sinister-looking man, escaped.
However, he was also seriously injured. Without dozens or even hundreds of years of recuperation, it was impossible for him to recover and he would not be a threat to the righteous path in the upcoming battle against the demon beast riot.
At this moment, everyone looked at a large array that was constantly condensing demonic Qi in the distance.
This array was also the source of demonic Qi here.
A Violet Palace cultivator from the Heavenly Yue Sect asked, “Ancestor Li, Ancestor Wen, could that be the Demonic Qi Gathering Array?”
Hearing his question, Li Mingkong and Wen Shujun nodded.
Li Mingkong said, “That’s right. This array is indeed the most notorious array in the demonic sect called the Demonic Qi Gathering Array.
It can easily drain the vitality of a place and turn it into a nest for the demonic cultivators.
If not for the fact that the method to set up this array has long been lost, I’m afraid the Cangnan region, where the five nations are based, would have long been ruled by demonic cultivators.”
“That serious?”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
“That’s right.”
Hou Dongbai chimed in.
“It’s said that this array came from an ancient demonic cultivator, but some said that this array came from another continent. Its exact origin is unknown.
However, one thing is certain. With the strength of the five nations in the Cangnan Region, we can’t destroy this Demonic Qi Gathering Array.”
“What?”
Hou Dongbai’s words undoubtedly shocked Huang Yao and the other Violet Palace cultivators.
If they could not break or destroy this array, wouldn’t this place become a new nest for the demonic cultivators?
As if he could read everyone’s minds, Daoist Kun Xu added,
“With the current strength of the five nations of the Cangnan region, although we can’t break this array, we can seal it to keep it from expanding.”
At this point, Daoist Kun Xu seemed to know the his words might be confusing to the others, so he explained,
“Although the area covered by this array is huge now, when it was first established, it only occupied an area of a few dozen square meters.
If we do nothing about it, I reckon that in a few years, the affected area will multiply a dozen times.”
“How… how could this be?”
These words left the mouths of many people agape.
If the Demonic Qi Gathering Array had such a characteristic, wouldn’t it mean that the Cangnan Region would very likely be contaminated by demonic Qi if it was left unsealed?
At the thought of this, many people shuddered with fear.
It was no wonder that the five nations of the Cangnan Region and even the entire Nine Essences Immortal cultivation world were so bent on eliminating all the demonic cultivators.
This was not only because the demonic cultivators were ruthless, but more because of the fact that their existence would hinder the righteous path from sealing the Demonic Qi Gathering Array.
After all, the demonic cultivators and this Demonic Qi Gathering Array could be said to be interdependent.
Demonic cultivators relied on the dense Demonic Qi from the Demonic Qi Gathering Array to cultivate.
As for the Demonic Qi Gathering Array, it needed demonic cultivators to provide it with protection.
After understanding this, Jiang Chengxuan and the others couldn’t help but feel a little heavy.
Unexpectedly, behind the demon beast riot, there was actually such a huge hidden threat the Cangnan Region, and even the entire Nine Essences Immortal cultivation world.
At this moment, Gu Yuefeng had finished healing.
He stood up and nodded at Hou Dongbai and the other Golden Cores, indicating that he had recovered and could start to seal the array.
Therefore, Hou Dongbai and the other Golden Cores no longer hesitated and immediately prepared to seal the array.
However, before that, Hou Dongbai looked at Jiang Chengxuan and the others and said,
“Everyone, there’s no need for you to participate in the following matters.
You can go out and wait. After we completely seal the array here, we will meet up with you.”
“Yes!”
Jiang Chengxuan and the others nodded.
Then, they flew out of the demon cave.
After everyone left, Hou Dongbai looked at the people present and smiled.
“Fellow Daoists, there’s no time to lose. Let’s begin.”
“Alright!”
Gu Yuefeng, Li Mingkong, Wen Shujun, Daoist Kun Xu, and Daoist Hai Zhen nodded solemnly.
Then, the six Golden Cores joined force to seal the Demonic Qi Gathering Array in front of them.
At the same time, Jiang Chengxuan and the others, who had returned to the outside world, could finally draw fresh air and heave a sigh of relief.
This operation could be said to be extremely treacherous.
If not for the fact that the six Golden Cores leading the team were powerful enough, the number of people who could come out alive this time would probably be less than 30%.
However, even so, there were still many people who died tragically, including a few Violet Palace cultivators.
Just as everyone was sighing in their hearts, an extremely violent fluctuation suddenly surged.
Streams of demonic Qi began to gravitate towards the demon cave.
Soon, they could no longer sense any demonic Qi in the area they were in.
This put a relieved smile on Jiang Chengxuan and the others’ faces.
From the looks of it, Senior Hou and the others had made it.
That was the truth.
Without the obstruction of demonic cultivators of the same level, with the strength of Hou Dongbai and the other five, it was not too difficult to seal a Demonic Qi Gathering Array of such scale.
About half a day later, the fluctuation stopped.
At the same time, Hou Dongbai, Gu Yuefeng, Li Mingkong, Wen Shujun, Daoist Kun Xu, and Daoist Hai Zhen reappeared in front of Jiang Chengxuan and the others.
