Chapter 193 Sect Council
Zhang Yifan was frantic, riding his flying spirit beast at breakneck speed towards the Lingyun Sword Sect. The wind howled, whipping his robes and hair wildly, but his mind was completely absorbed in the matter of the Chaos Demon Jade, leaving him no time to worry about anything else. The clues to the Chaos Demon Jade were like a tight band around his neck, preventing him from stopping for even a moment. He desperately wanted to fly back to the sect immediately and inform everyone of this news that concerned the very survival of the cultivation world.
He had barely stepped into the sect when he rushed towards the main hall, not even bothering to catch his breath. At that moment, Ling Yunfeng and several elders were discussing matters inside the hall. The candlelight flickered, and the atmosphere was solemn and heavy. Seeing Zhang Yifan burst in so hastily, everyone stopped talking and their eyes all fell on him.
"Yifan, you're back so soon? Did you make an important discovery?" Ling Yunfeng asked with concern, his eyes filled with a hint of expectation and a touch of worry.
Zhang Yifan took a deep breath, trying to calm his rapid breathing. He then recounted his experiences in Qizhou in detail, including the thrilling battle with the Blood Demon Sect, the discovery of ancient books in the basement of an abandoned mansion, and the crucial clues about the Chaos Demon Jade within those books. His voice trembled slightly from the journey and his excitement, and every word seemed to carry the scent of gunpowder from a battlefield.
"I never imagined that this Chaos Demon Jade would possess such immense power. If it falls into the hands of the Blood Demon Sect, the consequences would be unimaginable." An elderly elder with white hair frowned, speaking with deep concern. His face was etched with the marks of time, but now, his worry made him appear even older, his eyes revealing profound fear and unease.
"The most urgent task is to find the whereabouts of the Chaos Demon Jade as soon as possible. We must not let the Blood Demon Sect succeed." Ling Yunfeng's expression was solemn, and his tone was as firm as a booming bell. His eyes shone with a resolute light, revealing an innate sense of mission and responsibility.
The group gathered for a heated discussion. Some suggested sending a large number of disciples to search various locations, others recommended delving deeper into the clues in the ancient texts, and still others advocated uniting with other sects to jointly combat the Blood Demon Sect. After a long deliberation and weighing the pros and cons, they ultimately decided to split into two groups. One group, led by Zhang Yifan, would travel to the ancient ruins related to the Chaos Demon Jade to search for clues; the other group, personally led by Ling Yunfeng, would unite with other righteous forces to monitor the Blood Demon Sect's every move and prevent them from finding the Demon Jade first.
After the meeting, Zhang Yifan immediately began preparations. He scoured the sect, selecting several powerful disciples who possessed knowledge of the ancient ruins. These disciples were all highly skilled in spiritual energy, experienced in combat, and had performed exceptionally well in previous trials. He explained in detail the dangers and importance of this mission, and they all expressed their willingness to follow him and contribute their strength to protecting the cultivation world.
Upon learning of this, Lin Qingzhu immediately sought out Zhang Yifan. Her gaze was firm and unwavering: "Yifan, I want to go with you. I also want to do my part to stop the Blood Demon Sect." Her voice was clear yet powerful, carrying an irresistible determination.
Zhang Yifan looked at Lin Qingzhu, his heart filled with emotion, but also with some worry: "This journey is fraught with danger, I'm afraid you'll be in danger." His eyes were full of concern and care, his brows furrowed slightly, revealing his worry for Lin Qingzhu.
"I'm not afraid. Wouldn't we be more confident if we faced it together?" Lin Qingzhu held Zhang Yifan's hand tightly, as if that would give him strength. Her hand was warm and firm, conveying a belief in mutual support.
Zhang Yifan couldn't refuse, so he had to agree. Before setting off, they visited a senior who was proficient in ancient runes. The senior lived in a secluded cave in the back mountains of the sect, surrounded by spiritual energy and a tranquil environment. The senior was white-haired, with a kind face, but his eyes revealed wisdom. He took the ancient book, carefully opened it, and pondered for a long time while looking at the patterns on it. During this time, he sometimes frowned, sometimes nodded slightly, as if he were communicating with the mysterious power in the ancient book. After a long time, the senior finally spoke slowly, giving a key clue—the Chaos Demon Jade might be related to a mysterious cave in a wild and desolate place.
Having obtained this clue, Zhang Yifan and the others dared not delay and immediately set off for the Wilderness. The Wilderness was always fraught with danger, teeming with powerful demonic beasts and bizarre natural environments. As they stepped onto the edge of the Wilderness, a dense, malevolent aura assaulted their senses, as if countless wronged souls were struggling within it. Thick fog permeated the surroundings, as dense as ink, reducing visibility to almost zero. They could only rely on their spiritual power to perceive their surroundings, proceeding cautiously step by step.
Suddenly, a deafening roar shattered the silence. The sound seemed to come from the depths of hell, making one's eardrums ache. A gigantic beast slowly emerged from the mist, its body as tall as a mountain, the ground trembling slightly with each step. Its eyes gleamed with a blood-red light, like burning flames, and it exuded a powerful aura, clearly mistaking Zhang Yifan and his companions for intruders.
"Be careful! This is a Crimson Flame Demon Bull, and it's very powerful!" A disciple in the group who was familiar with demonic beasts shouted a warning. His voice trembled slightly with tension, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Zhang Yifan and the others immediately assumed fighting stances, their spiritual energy flowing around them. Zhang Yifan activated the Chaos Technique, his body radiating a multicolored halo; Lin Qingzhu wielded the Frost-Slaying Sword, its blade emanating a chilling aura; the other disciples also unleashed their respective techniques, preparing for the impending fierce battle. Their eyes were filled with determination and courage, showing no sign of retreat despite facing the powerful demonic beast.
A battle against demonic beasts is about to erupt in this dangerous wilderness. Will they be able to defeat them, successfully find the mysterious cave, and unlock the secrets of the Chaos Jade? Everything remains to be seen. They can only rely on their unwavering faith, extraordinary strength, and mutual understanding to forge a path to truth and hope in this perilous land.
