369: Changes on the Eastern Border
The Eastern Region border.
In a remote forest.
A subtle spatial rift suddenly appeared.
Subsequently, a Black-clothed youth flew out from the spatial rift.
"Where is this?"
Leng Xirou asked with some confusion.
"This is the Eastern Region border.
If we fly a bit further west now, we'll be able to leave the Eastern Region."
Su Yun had just finished speaking when he suddenly sensed something was wrong with the surroundings.
"Not good, there's a situation!"
With a thought, a faint trace of Spatial Spiritual Power flashed across his body, and he merged directly into the surrounding Void Realm.
At the same time, he also activated the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Pearl to release Heavenly Illusion Power and hide his aura.
"What happened?
Could it be Demonic Cultivators?"
Leng Xirou asked directly through the fox heart imprint.
"I'm afraid we're in trouble."
Su Yun replied.
Not long after he finished speaking.
Suddenly, streaks of blood-red light flashed, and a group of Blood Fiend Sect Demonic Cultivators dressed in blood-red robes appeared directly in the forest.
The leader was a middle-aged Demonic Cultivator at the Tribulation Crossing Realm. He had a burly build, and was surrounded by extremely thick blood energy and Evil Qi, releasing a heart-palpitating aura.
He looked at the dense forest around him and ordered:
"Our Five Great Demonic Sects have already sent out notice that Demonic Cultivators are not allowed to come to the Eastern Region border without authorization.
The one who came here now is very likely that Righteous Path Cultivators who snuck into the Eastern Region!
There were extremely powerful spatial fluctuations nearby just now; it's very likely that Righteous Path Cultivator has arrived here!"
"Search thoroughly!
Don't let any spot go!"
"There will be heavy rewards for discovering the Righteous Path Cultivator!"
Upon hearing this, the other Blood Fiend Sect Demonic Cultivators quickly scattered, splitting into several small teams to begin searching the forest.
Meanwhile, as they searched, they also discussed in low voices:
"What's going on? Why the sudden lockdown of the Eastern Region border, and why are we being made to search for a Righteous Path Cultivator around here?"
"I know. Apparently, a Netherworld Sect Elder discovered that a powerful Righteous Path Cultivator had snuck into our Eastern Region, likely having gathered quite a bit of intelligence on us.
For the grand plan of our Five Great Demonic Sects, that Righteous Path Cultivator must be eliminated.
That's why we were suddenly summoned here to search.
After all, this area is the territory of our Blood Fiend Sect.
Moreover, the borders of the other three regions are also being guarded by Demonic Cultivators from other demonic sects."
"I wonder what level of strength that Righteous Path Cultivator has to make our Blood Fiend Sect take it so seriously."
"Only the Elders would know that. Regardless of how strong that Righteous Path Cultivator is, we have nothing to fear. Our leading Elder is a powerhouse at the fourth level of the Tribulation Crossing Realm."
...Some time later.
The group of Blood Fiend Sect Demonic Cultivators searched meticulously but still found nothing.
At this moment, the Blood Fiend Sect Elder looked around, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, and said loudly:
"A wasted trip. It seems that Righteous Path Cultivator isn't here and has already fled. Let's search elsewhere!"
Subsequently, he led the Blood Fiend Sect Demonic Cultivators away from the forest.
"Su Yun, what should we do next?
Leave here first?
Now that those Demonic Cultivators are gone, we can continue on our way."
Leng Xirou asked directly.
"No rush. Let's wait a bit longer. Those Blood Fiend Sect Demonic Cultivators might come back!"
Su Yun said with certainty.
After all, that Blood Fiend Sect Elder was a Demonic Cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Realm. He wasn't a match for him yet, so it was better to be safe.
Furthermore, the current situation was somewhat dire.
Judging from the conversation of those Blood Fiend Sect Demonic Cultivators.
The Netherworld Sect already knew about the events at Huanwu Mountain.
What he didn't expect was that the Netherworld Sect would move so quickly, notifying the other four demonic sects in less than a few hours.
It seemed the Five Great Demonic Sects had completely united.
They might have even gained new assistance; otherwise, how could the Five Great Demonic Sects suddenly lock down the Eastern Region?
If the Five Great Demonic Sects had enough power to lock down the Eastern Region before, they would have done it long ago instead of waiting until now.
"No way? Haven't they already left?"
Leng Xirou was somewhat puzzled.
Shortly after she finished speaking, a burst of blood-red light appeared in the forest again.
It was none other than the Blood Fiend Sect Elder from before and a group of Blood Fiend Sect Demonic Cultivators.
"Elder, still nothing. It seems he really isn't here!"
"Let's go to the Formation's Spiritual Energy Barrier and wait there instead!
No matter where that Righteous Path Cultivator flees, he must leave the Eastern Region.
So, that Righteous Path Cultivator will definitely find a way to pass through the grand Formation's Spiritual Energy Barrier. If we wait there, we'll surely catch him!"
...The Blood Fiend Sect Elder nodded helplessly. He had thought that by pretending to leave, any Cultivator hiding in the forest would let down their guard and take the opportunity to leave their hiding spot, allowing him to return and catch them when they showed a weakness.
He didn't expect it to fail; he figured the Cultivator had already fled.
Since the person had fled, there was nothing to be done but to go and guard the Spiritual Energy Barrier at the border.
Immediately after, he led the Blood Fiend Sect Demonic Cultivators away again.
"They actually came back?
That Tribulation Crossing Realm Blood Fiend Sect Elder was actually pretending to leave?
He was actually pulling a feint!"
Leng Xirou broke into a cold sweat.
Who would have thought these Blood Fiend Sect Demonic Cultivators would pull a stunt like this.
Fortunately, Su Yun had sensed something was wrong.
Otherwise, if it were her, she would have definitely left immediately upon seeing those Blood Fiend Sect Demonic Cultivators depart.
If that were the case, she would likely have been caught red-handed by those Blood Fiend Sect Demonic Cultivators!
"As expected, I wasn't wrong."
Su Yun thought to himself.
He had felt that the Tribulation Crossing Realm Blood Fiend Sect Elder's tone was strange just now.
Following the principle of being cautious, he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he continued to hide in the Void Realm, using Heavenly Illusion Power to conceal his aura.
Sure enough, he soon discovered that the Blood Fiend Sect Demonic Cultivators hadn't left at all.
As for how he found out, it was simple.
He saw the life script light screens of those Blood Fiend Sect Demonic Cultivators in the forest not far away.
Sure enough, before long, the Blood Fiend Sect Elder returned with the other Blood Fiend Sect Demonic Cultivators.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Pearl was effective enough.
That Tribulation Crossing Realm Blood Fiend Sect Elder failed to discover him.
It had to be said that many Demonic Cultivators were sinister and cunning, making them impossible to guard against.
Take that Mo Yan Sect Master from before, for example.
He appeared to yield, but in reality, he was secretly planning to escape and then seek revenge when the opportunity arose.
That's why he threw a phantom talisman, trying to trap him.
The Blood Fiend Sect Elder just now was the same.
Luckily, he remained vigilant; otherwise, he would have been exposed.
"Su Yun, what should we do next?
And how did you pass through that Formation barrier at the Eastern Region border before?"
"Aunt Xuan said it seems only Demonic Cultivators who have practiced Demonic Path Cultivation Techniques can pass through that Formation barrier."
"Naturally, I simulated demonic spiritual energy to pass through that Formation barrier.
Now, let's go to that Formation barrier and see what the situation is!"
Subsequently, Su Yun flew through the Void Realm once again, heading toward the Eastern Region border Formation barrier.
