BXBX NOVEL Chapter 487 - 487 Fruitless Search
Zhan Wushuang laughed drily at Yun Zhiyi. It was obvious that he was also skeptical of Yun Zhiyi’s words. However, he could not be blamed for this. After all, the matter of the outer realm demonic race’s comeback was truly of great importance and could not be joked about. Moreover, the incident from 10,000 years ago was suddenly going to repeat itself, and it was obviously a little worrying for them now.
“Otherwise, what kind of major event do you think would force me to gather all of you here? Besides, I have no reason to lie to you,” Yun Zhiyi said indifferently, his voice unquestionable.
Hearing Elder Yun’s words, Zhan Wushuang could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. At this moment, his face was slightly pale. He was obviously shocked by this news. He was not the only one. Everyone who knew the severity of the matter had ugly expressions on their faces.
!!
Although no one present had experienced the catastrophe 10,000 years ago except for Yun Zhiyi, the disaster had been passed down by word of mouth until today. Even if the people present had not even come into contact with the demonic race, it did not prevent them from having fear from the bottom of their hearts toward this familiar yet strange name.
“I wonder if you remember the Blood Spirit Society that shone in the Grand Sect Competition some time ago? After our verification, the few people from the Blood Spirit Society are from the outer realm demonic race. Over the years, the demonic race has been secretly sending people to infiltrate our Eastern Continent. They have been lurking in every corner of the continent, almost everywhere. All of this is to repeat the catastrophe that happened 10,000 years ago!”
At this moment, Tong Shan’s voice was heard again.
As his voice fell, the crowd began to exclaim one after another.
“Blood Spirit Society? Is it the sect that was extremely brutal in the great tournament?”
“They are actually the outer realm demonic race?”
“Now that I think about it, the way the Blood Spirit Society does things is indeed the same as the demonic race that invaded our human continent 10,000 years ago!”
The noisy chatter reverberated in the hall. Yun Zhiyi’s gaze swept across the crowd below again. He cleared his throat and continued, “Now, the Eastern Continent is about to fall into the same situation as it was 10,000 years ago. The difference is that this time, the Eastern Continent will be the first target of the outer realm demonic race. This time, they will be more prepared than they were 10,000 years ago, and the war will be more tragic!”
“In order to deal with their invasion, the only way is for everyone here to abandon their prejudices and join forces. Only then will we have a chance of survival!”
Hearing this, everyone’s expression became extremely serious. The sound of discussion in the hall gradually died down as everyone fell into deep thought.
Although the invasion of the demonic race was not a small matter, there was no real evidence at the moment. It was just a guess without any evidence. It was difficult to get them to abandon their prejudices and join forces for this groundless guess!
“I don’t think this old master needs to explain the importance of this matter. As for the matter of forming an alliance, it’s already urgent. There’s not much time left for everyone to consider.” Yun Zhiyi tried to persuade them again.
Seeing this, Tong Shan quickly spoke up, “If the alliance is established, my Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion will definitely be the first to join. I also promise that if the demonic race really invades the human territory in the near future, all the spirit skills, spirit arrays, and various spirit weapons stored in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion will be free to the members of the alliance!
Hearing this, everyone present could not help but gasp.
All of the spirit techniques, spirit arrays, and other materials were open to the public for free. To the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, this was undoubtedly a deal that would cause them to suffer a great loss. However, Tong Shan’s unshirkable attitude of taking the lead in battle also moved the hearts of the people.
However, even so, no one at the scene made a decision.
“Although I, Zhan Wushuang, am the head of the Zhan Clan, this matter is of great importance. I still need to discuss with the elders in my clan before making a decision. I hope that Elder Yun can forgive me.” After an unknown period of time, Zhan Wushuang stood up and spoke.
At this time, he had regained the dignified appearance of the Zhan Clan’s Master. Compared to the man who had been frightened by the news of the invasion of the outer realm demonic race, he was a completely different person.
“It’s fine. In the following period of time, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion has already prepared free accommodation for all of you in Lanjiang city. I hope that all of you can quickly pass on the news to the sect and make a decision as soon as possible in preparation for the next war.”
Yun Zhiyi nodded and did not stay any longer. With a shake of his body, he disappeared, as if he had never been there.
With Elder Yun’s departure, the people in the meeting hall could no longer hold back. Deafening arguments suddenly rang out. There were still many people who held a skeptical attitude toward this matter, and many of them had already begun to contact their own sects.
“I actually hope that this matter is fake.”
Looking at the noisy crowd below, Tong Shan, who was on the stage, laughed bitterly.
“Yup! If the outer realm demonic race really made a comeback, the Eastern Continent would definitely be plunged into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. You and I… It’s also unknown whether this Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion can survive this catastrophe…” Tang Conglin nodded, his voice filled with helplessness.
If this really happened, this war could really be called a catastrophe, and their individual strength would hardly be able to affect the direction of things. Even their survival would be a problem.
…
Three days later.
It was a barren land at the northern end of the Eastern Continent, known as the Desolate North.
This place was extremely desolate. Due to the year-round drought, there were no large cities to be seen. In the entire Desolate North region, there were only a few medium-sized towns or villages that were isolated from the world.
Gu Xi had already been in the Desolate North for nearly three days. Three days ago, he had come to the last two transmitting formations according to the guidance on the map. Now, he had checked all of them, but he did not find any trace of the demonic race.
“This forsaken land is deserted. It is reasonable to say that the outer realm demonic race would most likely pay attention to the two teleportation arrays here. However, I haven’t detected anything unusual with the two teleportation array systems here…” on a small hill, Gu Xi muttered tiredly.
During this period of time, he had traveled across more than half of the Eastern Continent without stopping, and he was extremely exhausted.
