42: Snow Shadow Sect

The eleven figures looked at the Huangsha Sect, where corpses lay strewn everywhere, and their emotions remained unsettled for a long time.

Taking a deep breath, an elder looked at Xiang Donglai and said, "Alliance Leader, the Huangsha Sect is a first-rate sect, yet even they couldn't hold out for a quarter of an hour."

It seems the killer's power is even more terrifying than we imagined!

Upon hearing this, Xiang Donglai nodded solemnly. To swiftly defeat a first-rate sect with a protective formation, their strength was self-evident.

This meant that even with the formations, the Neutral Alliance wouldn't be able to provide timely support. If the other party attacked again later, the outcome would likely be the same.

Wouldn't their painstakingly arranged teleportation formations be in vain then?

Xiang Donglai fell silent for a moment. Even with peak strength, he was helpless against the opponent, which made him very uncomfortable, as if a punch had landed squarely on cotton.

After a long while, he slowly spoke, "The other side intended to kill. None of the Huangsha Sect's resources were taken. After burying the Sect Leader of Huangsha and his disciples, bring the resources back to the Neutral Alliance!"

"This grudge, I, Xiang Donglai, will definitely avenge!"

"Yes!"

Everyone accepted the order, then spent a considerable amount of time handling everything properly, and returned to the Neutral Alliance via the teleportation array.

The news of the Huangsha Sect's annihilation was spread by fellow Western Region sects throughout the entire Eastern Continent, causing everyone to panic once again.

The hidden force was like a giant sword hanging overhead, shrouding the entire Eastern Continent.

The Chang Sheng Sect also received the news. If it were in the past, they might have been one of them, but today was different from yesterday. A chaotic era was precisely the time to rise!

Nangong Xiaotian once again gathered everyone. He had thought for a long time and decided not to act separately, because the killer's strength was still a mystery.

He didn't want everyone to take risks and prepared to act together. As for the main base, he had already asked the Yellow Dog in advance, so there was no need to worry at all.

He said in a deep voice, "Fellow junior brothers, the current situation in the Eastern Continent, besides the five top sects, there is also the Neutral Alliance, whose overall strength is not much inferior."

"But not all sects have joined the Neutral Alliance, not to mention that the alliance's cohesion is not high. We can start from this aspect."

"The number of people in that hidden force is definitely not small, and they are targeting the entire Eastern Continent. This means they will constantly move against those sects."

"What we need to do is to rescue those sects when they encounter a crisis, bring them under our banner, and expand our influence."

Those top sects have many subordinate forces. If our Chang Sheng Sect wants to develop, we must subdue some suitable sects.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Wasn't this the dream they, as high-ranking members, had always had?

Liu Yun said, "Senior brother, how do we determine when those sects will encounter that group of people, and will there be enough time? I heard that those sects often can't resist for long."

Nangong Xiaotian smiled confidently and said, "I have already asked the Old Ancestor for a treasure!"

He spread his five fingers, and a spirit orb appeared before everyone's eyes. It was an entirely black orb, shimmering with dazzling black light.

"What is this?"

Everyone was puzzled.

"Its grade is unknown for now, but since it was given by the Old Ancestor, it must be a supreme treasure. You only need to inject spiritual power to detect the fluctuations of all sects in the Eastern Continent. If intense energy fluctuations occur..."

"Then, this spirit orb will guide us there. The most terrifying thing is that it also comes with a teleportation effect. When a fierce energy fluctuation is detected, a white light spot will light up on the surface of the orb."

"After locking your thoughts onto the light spot, the orb will envelop us and swiftly tear through space to reach the destination."

"Hiss!"

Sounds of gasps kept ringing out. Wu Kuang couldn't help but say in awe, "Doesn't this mean we can reach the battlefield at the very first moment, if our speed is fast enough!"

"Of course!"

Nangong Xiaotian laughed, "Something bestowed by the Old Ancestor, I can guess with my toes that its speed will definitely exceed our imagination."

"Haha, without further ado, I will now inject spiritual power to activate it to cover the Eastern Continent region."

Buzz!

A black light flickered, and the orb slowly spun in his palm. An invisible fluctuation spread out from its original spot.

All was ready, only the east wind was lacking!

After waiting for three full days, the orb suddenly erupted with a strong, dazzling light, startling everyone awake.

Then, it transformed into a white light spot on the orb's surface, like a bright star appearing in a black starry sky.

Nangong Xiaotian glanced at everyone and tried to lock his thoughts onto this star. The orb continuously spun and expanded, forming a black hole that sucked everyone in.

In an instant, it tore through space and disappeared.

In the northern part of the Eastern Continent, on a snowfield, a sect carved from ice crystals quietly sat in a corner. Goose-feather snow fell from the sky, but it dissipated in mid-air above the sect.

This was a cultivation sect primarily composed of women, a second-rate sect, the Xueying Sect!

"Yue'er, your aptitude is top-tier even among first-rate sects. Joining our Xueying Sect is a bit of a disservice to you."

A middle-aged woman sighed.

"Master, what are you saying? You have been kind to my Liu family, and the sect treats me very well. I am already very content!"

The young woman named Yue'er responded solemnly.

The middle-aged woman felt some relief and was about to say something more when a majestic female voice resounded throughout the sect.

"Who dares to offend my Xueying Sect!"

A figure rushed out from within the sect, stepping into the void, looking gravely at the sky above the sect.

Several Black Robed Men figures had appeared outside the grand formation at some unknown time, exuding a chilling aura.

They were not to be trifled with!

The Sect Leader of Xueying's heart felt heavy. Thinking of the recent events in the Eastern Continent, she felt a sudden panic.

Their Xueying Sect had not joined the Neutral Alliance, and their location was remote, merely a second-rate sect. She hadn't expected them to be targeted.

Any sect targeted by the opponent met with no good end, only annihilation!

As her voice rang out, several figures also rushed out from various parts of the sect, and the middle-aged woman who had been speaking earlier was among them.

The strongest members of the sect were now gathered, all looking at the Black Robed Men.

These Black Robed Men were not the same group that had appeared at the Huangsha Sect earlier, indicating that their force was extraordinary.

It seemed they matched corresponding strong individuals to hunt down their prey based on the prey's strength. Among this group, the strongest was only at the middle stage of the Spirit King Realm, while the others were at the early stage.

But even this was not something the Xueying Sect could withstand. The Sect Leader of Xueying was also only at the middle stage, at most able to resist one person. The other few would be enough to jointly suppress her or first slaughter the rest.

After sensing the opponent's specific strength, the Sect Leader of Xueying also showed a look of horror. The other side was clearly well-prepared, knowing their strength like the back of their hand.

Disaster was imminent!

The other elders and the middle-aged woman also looked desperate, especially the middle-aged woman, whose eyes held a hint of regret as she looked in Yue'er's direction.

The Black Robed Men didn't waste words, taking only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to break through the sect's grand formation. It seemed that before long, the entire Xueying Sect would surely be littered with corpses.

Just as the two sides were in a standoff and the Black Robed Men were about to strike, a black vortex slowly appeared in the sky!
