“Ah!”
With a cry of surprise, everyone retreated.
This made Ye Xuan’s heart itch with curiosity. He thought to himself, ‘What exactly did these people see to make them show such an expression?’
These people were all old monsters who had become spirits and had seen all kinds of things. Ye Xuan couldn’t help but be curious and wanted to see more clearly.
But the people in front of him were all grand elders, and they were all at least at the peak level of sky rank. Furthermore, this place was open and flat, and there was no other cover. He would be discovered easily, so he could only give up on trying to get closer.
Based on his current cultivation level, if he was discovered, he would probably die.
Just as Ye Xuan was carefully investigating, the people in front of him moved again, and he couldn’t help but frown. He thought, ‘What are they trying to do?’
Bright light burst out again, and the grand elders joined hands to form hand seals. Choppy and incomprehensible words formed golden runes from their mouths and imprinted themselves in the air.
Even their pupils reflected the same golden light, making them look extremely divine.
The patterns and symbols were unfamiliar and difficult to understand. After looking at them for a long time, he would even feel dizzy.
The sky was filled with Dao marks, and ancient scriptures flowed as if they were welcoming something. A mysterious array descended from the sky, and Ye Xuan could feel the terrifying aura within. He couldn’t help but sigh with admiration, “What a powerful formation.”
Ye Xuan sensed that the space around him was covered in an invisible cover and immediately understood what they were doing. He mumbled, “These people want to separate the space here.”
He couldn’t help but be shocked. The more powerful spiritual fluctuations were coming toward him. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that he would be exposed. He had to retreat carefully.
Just as Ye Xuan was about to leave, a sudden change occurred. A thin layer of fog had appeared out of nowhere. Upon closer inspection, the fog was actually black.
Dark clouds covered the sun, and even the crescent moon above their heads was blocked. The stars in the sky were extremely dim as if something was covering the secrets of heaven.
As the black mist swirled up, the people from the seven great sects quickly realized that something was wrong.
“What is it? Hurry up and come out!”
Ye Xuan was shocked. He thought he had been exposed, but the next second, he heard a strange laugh.
The black mist in the air quickly gathered together, as if it could form a physical substance. It was vaguely visible that something was wrapped inside, but it was not clear.
What the h*ll was that?
It wasn’t just Ye Xuan, even the others were shocked. What had been lurking around them for so long without them noticing?
Looking at the ball of unknown black Qi and the cold and evil aura spiraling up, Ye Xuan subconsciously shivered.
He felt a sense of discomfort in his heart as he felt an extremely Yin and evil power.
“What an evil power. There’s actually such a creature in the capital. Could it be an evil or demonic cultivator?”
In order to prove the great Dao as soon as possible, some cultivators took shortcuts and even did some things that went against the laws of heaven. Thus, they took the wrong path. These evil ways were disdained by other cultivators.
They could be said to be existences that were hated by everyone, so the majority of them were either hiding their identities or cultivating in other remote places. After all, the capital was the territory of the seven great sects. If they were to be exposed here, they would be courting death.
The grand elder of the Infinity Sect admonished, “Where did this demon come from to actually dare to cause trouble here? Are you tired of living?”
“Hand over the item and you can leave.”
A deep voice came from the black mist. It seemed to come from the netherworld, which gave people goosebumps.
Everyone’s expression changed when they heard this. Someone said, “You’re so daring. If you want this, it’s easy. Just leave your life here with us.”
The black mist rushed directly to the center of the array and it said, “If you don’t give it to me, I’ll go get it myself!”
When the other elders saw this, they were shocked! It actually dared to steal something right under their noses. They immediately formed an incantation gesture and a colorful spiritual light struck the ball of black Qi.
The black Qi was instantly torn into pieces.
Ye Xuan was still a little surprised. He thought, ‘This black Qi doesn’t look like good news, but it was dealt with so easily.’
As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, the scattered black Qi gathered again. The cold wind howled, blowing up endless gales, and the entire sky became gloomy.
“You’re all courting death.”
The world was shrouded in a large shadow, and Ye Xuan was almost blown away by the wind. He steadied his body, and the evil wind whistled like a bone-cutting steel knife.
“Argh! My eyes!”
With a scream, an elder with lower cultivation covered his eyes in pain. Through the gaps between his fingers, one could see that his eyes were pitch black. Countless black Qi gushed out from them, making people panic.
“Elder Sun, are you alright?”
Elder Sun’s eyes could no longer be called eyes. They were more like some kind of vessel. He lay straight on the ground and twitched a few times before he stopped moving. No one knew if he was dead or alive.
As for the elders who had attacked earlier, there were a few black stains on their hands. The black lines seemed to have a life of their own as they swam around under their skin, and a few large bumps instantly appeared on their skin.
They hurriedly sealed a few major acupuncture points in their bodies to stop the rapid spread of the black Qi. However, their expressions were not very good.
“Everyone, be careful. This black Qi is really strange and it’s really hard to guard against.”
Everyone dispersed the black Qi, but it would gather again after a while. No attack had any effect on it.
Not only that, but they would also enter the human body, especially where there were wounds. Many elders had suffered hidden injuries.
Even these powerful grand elders found it extremely difficult to deal with.
