"Damn it, we miscalculated! There's really an ambush! Xu Hei, how did you find out?"
Hei Huang cursed while running frantically.
"I guessed."
Xu Hei's face was also full of shock and anger. "Didn't you say that Core Formation Stage cultivators wouldn't make a move?"
"How would I know? The Purple Mist Sect has gone mad. Stealing a pill brought out their ancestor. We're really out of luck!"
Hei Huang was equally furious.
The Purple Mist Sect, as a one-star sect, naturally had Core Formation Stage cultivators in residence. However, these were all old monsters who had lived for hundreds of years and rarely erged from seclusion, only appearing when the sect faced life-and-death crises.
These Core Formation ancestors were already nearing the end of their lifespans, and every ti they ca out, it consud their life force.
Who would have thought that stealing a pill would draw out such an ancestor?
Moreover, that old woman was very cunning. After they broke into the Purple Mist Pavilion, she didn't imdiately activate the sealing formation but waited in the shadows to see what they were after.
Fortunately, Hei Huang reacted quickly and didn't directly grab the Demon Mirror, otherwise, their true objective would have been exposed.
He grabbed the Core Formation Magical Treasure Gourd instead, the most valuable item, which shouldn't arouse suspicion.
...
Before long, they reached the outermost edge of the Purple Mist Sect, the place where they had initially entered.
Hei Huang took out a deconstruction array disk and attached it to the formation, finding no response.
"As expected! The formation has been changed; it needs to be re-analyzed," Hei Huang said.
"How long will it take?" Xu Hei asked.
"This is a third-tier formation, at least one hour," Hei Huang replied.
One hour!
At this mont, Xu Hei could already feel a vast and boundless Divine Sense sweeping through the Purple Mist Sect. In just a few breaths, it would reach their location.
"Don't worry, my Invisibility Talisman has been enhanced. As long as you don't move, that old hag won't find us!" Hei Huang sneered.
Xu Hei imdiately held his breath and remained motionless.
Monts later, that imnse Divine Sense swept past their location inch by inch, without any reaction.
Xu Hei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, they just needed to wait for an hour to safely retreat.
This ti, the haul from the Purple Mist Sect was substantial. He hadn't examined the pills closely, but there were at least five gourds of Minor Essence Nurturing Pills, enough for him to cultivate to Great Perfection.
Additionally, he had obtained a spell jade slip worth three hundred thousand contribution points. Unfortunately, the content was too extensive, and he had only read the first half.
In any case, this adventure was worth it.
They just didn't know which part of the plan had gone wrong, causing the Purple Mist Sect's ancestor to co out of seclusion.
Xu Hei didn't want to stay too long and tentatively asked, "Hei Huang, can I forcibly break this formation?"
Xu Hei extended his tail, with all the scales standing upright.
Hei Huang glanced at it and shook his head, "No, your scales are impressive, but they can only deal with Foundation Establishnt Stage. This third-tier formation is a bit too much."
"Besides, if we forcefully break it, I could do it too, but that old hag would definitely notice."
Hearing this, Xu Hei could only wait quietly.
However, Xu Hei felt that after the Divine Sense sweep found nothing, the other party wouldn't just let it go. They would definitely use more sophisticated thods to search for them.
Xu Hei didn't dare to underestimate any opponent. Since that old woman dared to set a trap, she must be cunning.
She would surely guess that they were hiding sowhere, analyzing the formation.
"No, I must think of a way to deal with the possible upcoming situation. I can't just do nothing!" Xu Hei thought to himself.
...
At this mont, in the Purple Mist Sect, on the sect's plaza.
All the mbers of the Purple Mist Sect were gathered here, including elders, stewards, true disciples, inner disciples, outer disciples, and even the servants.
Even the outer sect disciples with Dao companions were no exception, all standing in the sect plaza.
These were the people who were within the Purple Mist Sect when the formation was activated, totaling five hundred. They looked at each other, not understanding what had happened.
Above the plaza, a purple-robed old woman floated in the air. This was the fifth-generation sect master of the Purple Mist Sect, He Luohua.
The once Fairy He was now Immortal He.
Seeing this ancestor-level figure appear, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.
"Everyone, because our Purple Mist Sect has been infiltrated by thieves, the entire sect is now sealed to capture the demons. Until the demons are found, no one is allowed to enter or leave, including the sect master. I hope you all understand."
He Luohua spoke calmly, her voice spreading throughout the plaza.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed. In the past hundred years, the Purple Mist Sect had never experienced such a major event as sealing the sect.
The incident happened too suddenly. When the sect was sealed, even the sect master was caught outside.
No one could co in or go out.
No one dared to complain, and they all cupped their fists and said, "We obey the ancestor's orders!"
Among the crowd, a young man covered in blood, with one arm severed and his True Qi depleted, suddenly realized sothing.
"Damn! No wonder Silver Bell was ambushed; it turns out demons have infiltrated!"
Hua Yuntian gritted his teeth in anger.
Because of those demons, he was misunderstood by Xiao Chou and forced into a life-and-death battle, almost dying on the spot!
The ridiculous part was that Xiao Chou, who was clearly at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage, went berserk and almost defeated him, a Foundation Establishnt Stage cultivator, nearly killing him with a single sword strike.
Fortunately, he had a jade talisman left by his master; otherwise, he would have been dead.
Xiao Chou also escaped in the end, leaving a threat of revenge.
This gave Hua Yuntian a headache.
He Luohua waved her hand, and a hundred Talismans fell into the hands of the female disciples of the Purple Mist Sect.
"These Talismans are Life Detection Talismans. As long as there are living beings with cultivation within ten ters, the Talismans will light up. The more beings, the more lights."
"Although the range is small, the effect is excellent. Even if the other party has a Core Formation Stage concealnt treasure, they won't be able to hide!"
He Luohua said slowly, "Go, find the location of those demons, and crush the Talismans imdiately. I will reward thirty thousand contribution points."
Hearing the thirty thousand contribution points, all the female disciples' breaths beca rapid.
Thirty thousand was a huge sum. It could exchange for twenty Foundation Establishnt Pills and even the top-tier spiritual artifacts for the Foundation Establishnt Stage.
"Yes!"
The female disciples, after receiving the detection Talismans, imdiately dispersed and began searching.
As for the others, to prevent the Talismans from misjudging, they had to stay put and not leave.
After arranging everything, He Luohua sat cross-legged in the plaza, ready to act at any mont.
Because the Talismans were limited, only a hundred people participated.
Six Foundation Establishnt Stage elders and ninety-four female disciples. Except for the elders who acted alone, most of the female disciples moved in groups of three to five.
It was said that this gave them a sense of security.
Many of them had never experienced a life-and-death crisis, and now, investigating the hidden demons, they were all cautious and slow in their actions.
However, among them were also those who were bold and ticulous, willing to take risks for the contribution points.
