    Before long, after the monks investigating the rest of the Formations had returned, their reports were shockingly identical to that of the first: the Formations were destroyed, and the disciples who operated them had vanished into thin air.


    At this, everyone realized the gravity of the issue.


    The cultivators of the Ye Clan fell silent.


    “In a hundred li radius, aside from our Ye Family cultivators, there are no other monks present.


    If someone infiltrated and sabotaged afterward, the timing is too perfect.


    The moment we lifted the seal, someone was immediately tampering with the camouflaging Formations.


    It seems the problem arose from within our ranks,” the scholar suddenly said with a cold sneer.


    “One of our own!”


    “Impossible, right?


    Aren’t these all Ye family members?


    Who would do such a thing?”


    “All Ye family members?


    That’s not necessarily true.

    Isn’t there one who doesn’t bear the Ye surname?”


    After a burst of discussion, someone immediately spoke out.


    Hearing this, most of the cultivators turned their gaze toward one person with a moved heart.


    The man had an ordinary appearance and a calm demeanor.


    He was the human cultivator who was the incarnation of an ancient devil.


    “Senior Han was personally invited by me, and he has always been with Seventh Uncle.


    Don’t speculate wildly,” the Great Elder of the Ye Family interjected to quiet them down.


    “Indeed, Fellow Daoist Han has been in the company of this old one the whole time, and we have enjoyed each other’s company very much!” the big-headed eccentric also said indifferently.


    Listening to the eccentric speak like this, the other cultivators naturally held great respect for this elder of the Ye family and immediately their suspicions were dispelled.


    At this time, the scholar instructed a square-faced cultivator:


    “Second brother, go check the bottom of the lake.


    See if, aside from those missing disciples, anyone else is missing.”


    “I understand!” The square-faced cultivator acknowledged with a single breath and then transformed into a streak of light, plunging into the depths of the lake and disappearing without a trace.


    “Elders, let us make preparations as well.


    Although the abnormal phenomenon here is startling and can no longer be hidden, no power will be able to threaten us in the short term.


    There are no major sects in the Southern Border, and it will take significant time for cultivators from other regions to arrive here; certainly not just ten or fifteen days.


    Although it’s unclear what lays inside Kunwu Mountain, we must extract its secrets as soon as possible, especially those two heavenly spirit treasures.


    We must obtain them quickly.


    Only by doing so, even if our plans are discovered, can we have the power to protect ourselves.


    Otherwise, not only will hundreds of years of planning benefit others, but the Ye Clan might also face disastrous extermination!


    Such an event must not occur,” the white-robed scholar said sternly to the others.


    “Yes, Great Elder!” Upon hearing his words, the rest of the Ye Clan elders shivered in their hearts and responded in unison.


    After waiting for a while, the square-faced cultivator and the white-robed elder concurrently soared out from beneath the lake.


    Upon reaching the white-robed scholar, the square-faced cultivator spoke with a grim expression:


    “Third brother, as expected, we are two Array Masters short; they are the nephews of the fifth and twelfth families.


    Could these two dare to collude with outsiders against our clan?”


    “Hmph!


    Colluding against the clan isn’t certain, but it’s possible they were soul-searched and killed by someone.


    When did they disappear?” The scholar asked with a cold snort.


    “About two days ago.


    These two were responsible for Formations in very remote areas, and at the time, no one was suspicious.


    It was only supposed to be today that all disciples were to gather here when their disappearance was noted,” replied the white-haired elder, his face beaded with cold sweat.


    “It seems the problem lies with these two.


    However, whatever the true nature of things is, it is no longer important.


    As soon as we enter Kunwu Mountain, all Array Masters and clan disciples should immediately withdraw.


    Speaking of which, has the location of the seal’s crack been confirmed?” The scholar asked calmly.


    “It has been located with an Array, twenty li north of here and a thousand zhang under the ground.


    There appears to be a crack tens of zhang in length,” the white-haired elder hurriedly replied.


    “Lead the way, and let’s set off,” the scholar said without hesitation.


    “Yes, Great Elder!” The white-haired elder bowed and complied.


    Without delay, a procession of nine cultivators flew northward with their escape techniques, and in a moment, their streaks of light reached a dense forest twenty li away, lush and vibrant green below them.


    The white-haired elder stopped his streak of light, scanned the surroundings, and then flipped over his hand, revealing a faintly silver Magical Disc in his palm.


    Muttering an incantation, the elder cast a spell onto the Magical Disc, which started to glow with spiritual light, faintly revealing various runes.


    “This is the place!” The white-haired elder declared with certainty after only a short glance at the Magical Disc.


    “Good!


    Ninth Sister, release the spirit beast, and let’s go down,” the scholar said, turning to an old Daoist nun.


    The Daoist nun complied and slapped her spirit beast pouch, from which a ray of yellow light shot out.


    The light rapidly expanded in the wind, and within moments, it transformed into a Giant Centipede more than ten zhang long, breathing out green vapor with a fierce demeanor.


    Without needing anyone else to speak, all Ye Clan cultivators, except for the white-haired elder, flew onto the back of the Giant Centipede.


    The nun gave a low shout, and a thin yellow light shield radiated from around the Giant Centipede, enveloping all the cultivators.


    The Giant Centipede then shifted its body and plunged downward.


    Upon contact with the ground, the Giant Centipede’s massive body silently penetrated the earth, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.


    It turns out this was a demon beast skilled in Earth Escape Skill.


    “`


    The white-haired elder lingered in the air for a moment, and seeing no sign of the Ye Clan cultivators coming out again, he took a long breath and turned to fly back the way he had come.


    Almost at the same time, high in the sky two hundred li away, several cultivators clad in blue robes and red headbands looked toward the distance where seven pillars of milky white light shot into the sky, exchanging perplexed glances with one another.


    “What is this, such an astonishing sky phenomenon,” a young man in his twenties said in a daze.


    “No matter what it is, it’s definitely not something ordinary.


    Junior Yu, you go back to our sect and report this matter quickly.


    The rest of you, follow me to take a closer look!” A dark-skinned cultivator instructed sternly.


    Another cultivator immediately agreed upon hearing this and started flying away with his magic artifact.


    The remaining people sped towards the direction of the small lake under the lead of the middle-aged cultivator.


    From an even farther place, atop the summit of a tall mountain, hundreds of cultivators with various attire were gathered.


    They were all low-level cultivators, mostly at the Qi Refinement Realm, with only a few at the Foundation Establishment Stage, seemingly having a small gathering.


    Although their cultivation levels were low, the light pillars were so eye-catching that they all saw them clearly.


    At this moment, everyone, whether standing on stone cliffs or flying in the sky on their artifacts, stared in astonishment in the direction of the light pillars.


    At the foot of an unnamed desolate mountain, a slightly plump elder stood outside a half-open stone door, his face thoughtful as he looked at the few streaks of light on the horizon.


    In a similar situation, with the area where the Ye Clan cultivators were as the center, cultivators within thousands of li were all alarmed by the astonishing light pillars, whether they were from nearby wealthy families or Loose Cultivators in hiding, all hurried toward the source of the light.


    Not long after, the news that a rare and valuable treasure had emerged in this place spread rapidly throughout the entire Southern Border at an astonishing speed.


    Several days later, even the nearby provinces and counties had heard about it.


    For a time, the entire Southern Border was in an uproar!


    At the same time the Ye Clan cultivators entered underground, Han Li stood in the center of a huge transportation formation at an unknown location, surrounded by rough and massive stone walls as if inside a huge stalactite cave.


    At this moment, he looked at a few objects at his feet with a gloomy face.


    These objects were several broken rings, blood-red and translucent, still flickering with a faint spiritual glow.


    They were the restraining magic artifacts that had previously trapped the body of the Silver-winged Yaksha.


    Now, the rings were shattered, and the Silver-winged Yaksha had vanished without a trace.


    The outcome was obviously clear.


    Thinking of this, Han Li’s gaze shifted and looked toward his waist.


    There, stuck to his side, was a green jade talisman, emitting a faint spiritual glow.


    Han Li found the pattern on this Daoist paper talisman somewhat familiar; it was an extremely rare teleportation talisman.


    Similar talismans had been seen by him when he was teleported through the Scattered Stars Sea.


    The only difference was that those were made of paper.


    Frowning, Han Li flipped his hand, revealing a dazzling blue token that he had acquired in earlier years, the Greater Displacement Medallion.


    When he had been teleported out, he didn’t know where he would end up and feared being torn apart by spatial pressure if he was sent too far afield.


    Thus, he had immediately taken out the medallion and held it tightly in his hand.


    But what he had never expected was that, as the teleportation light flared up, this talisman appeared out of thin air on his waist, leaving him no chance to evade.


    He wondered whether this was a special feature inherent to the gigantic transportation formation itself or a clever arrangement set up by the ancient cultivator who had created it.


    However, such an ancient teleportation talisman was definitely different from those of the present and surely held great research value.


    As he pondered this, Han Li reached out for the jade talisman.


    Before his fingertips could touch it, the talisman suddenly “Puchi” burst apart, turning into specks of spiritual light.


    He paused for a moment and then let out a wry smile.


    The making of this teleportation talisman was indeed painstaking; the spiritual power embedded within was only enough for one use.


    It seemed that other talismans could not be preserved either.


    When Han Li mentioned “the others,” he was referring to the Weeping Soul as well as the two gray cocoons still hanging in the air nearby, which had similar jade talismans attached.


    As he looked up, the talismans disappeared just as he had expected.


    As for the Corpse Wolf, it had become a true corpse, while the Weeping Soul Beast, which had shrunk to about ten feet in size, leaped excitedly on the body of the wolf, pounding its chest.


    The wolf, it seemed, had been unlucky; upon emerging from the formation, it found itself right next to Han Li.


    With Han Li’s Divine Sense being much stronger, he was the first to recover from the teleportation dizziness and thus struck the wolf with a potent blow of Devilbane Lightning without hesitation, heavily injuring it.


    Moreover, the Weeping Soul Beast immediately spewed out a yellow mist, sucking away all the cadaveric energy from the Corpse Wolf in an instant, easily putting an end to the huge beast.


    The Silver-winged Yaksha, it seemed, did not care about the wolf at all and showed no intention of continuing to fight with Han Li.


    Having finally gained freedom, the Yaksha took the opportunity to use its Wind Escape Skill and vanished from the spot with the wind.
