Stealthily cultivating in the chaotic world of demons and martial artists

Chapter 763: Chapter 695: The Onset of Chaos_3

Fang Xi landed on the edge of the lotus pond, with his hands behind his back, admiring the beautiful scenery, pondering silently.

At this moment, the bell had rung just over forty times, and Lord YuanYin had not yet appeared.

A group of Transcendent God lieutenants, however, arrived one after another.

"Mr. Fang!"

A voice as gentle as jade rang out.

A scholarly young man riding on an ancient book meandered over and landed next to Fang Xi—it was the same Yi surnamed scholar who had previously discussed with him the cultivation of the Thunder Marsh Wilderness.

Actually, Fang Xi did not have a high regard for this person, finding him indecisive, not as decisive as Xie, who had left over a disagreement about refining Spiritual Pills.

But at this moment, one does not slap the hand that offers a kind face, so he returned the gesture and said, "Sir Yi..."

"I heard Mr. Fang has been entangled by Fu Wuer? Sanqing Workshop is truly not a good place to deal with. It is said that the Returning to Emptiness great cultivator behind it has become elderly, has recently suffered severe injuries in an operation, and is now desperately pressing the cultivators beneath him to purchase rare Spiritual Pills to save his life..."

The Yi surnamed scholar held a Folding Fan, and there was something of a strategizing air about him: "Such a greedy sight is quite unseemly; you must be very careful..."

"Thank you for your warning."

Fang Xi sincerely thanked him, though he had never intended to join...

"Actually, if you don’t want to be entangled further, you might as well truly join the Sky Brahman Army. Currently, Lord YuanYin here is a Returning to Emptiness of the Sky Brahman Army’s direct lineage. With this lord’s protection, our safety can be assured..."

Yi surnamed scholar said cordially.

"Thank you, Sir Yi, I will consider it carefully..."

Fang Xi smiled faintly; it was clear the Yi surnamed scholar had chosen to fully integrate into the Sky Brahman Army and was now choosing to work for it—it was completely understandable.

As he was thinking about how to politely decline, Master Kuantao and others also arrived.

He naturally went up to chat, leaving the Yi surnamed scholar out in the cold.

Clang! Clang!

The ringing of the bell grew more urgent.

Soon, eighty-one bell rings finished, and dozens of Transcendent God lieutenants were already standing in the courtyard.

This force alone was strong enough to destroy any Sect in the Lower Realm.

But for the Sky Brahman Army, it was merely the backbone of one of their divisions.

Clang!

Following the sound of the gong, the doors to the Dongfu opened, and a female cultivator walked out.

This woman was dressed in palace attire, quite tall, with skin that was bronze-colored, and faint runes flickered on her body, clearly indicating she had practiced some formidable Body refining cultivation.

"Sky Brahman City has sent a message..."

Lord YuanYin looked around, confirming that all Transcendent God lieutenants were present, and finally spoke.

Her voice was harsh and unpleasant, and the news she brought was not good at all: "...The city was attacked by an Integration-stage Monster cultivator; the Great Array was damaged, the Super Teleportation Array destroyed, and the residing Integration cultivators are suspected of being grievously wounded, needing to retreat and recover..."

As these words were said, it was as if a bombshell had dropped.

The faces of many Transcendent God cultivators changed dramatically!

"The Super Teleportation Array is destroyed; how are we to return?"

Master Kuantao exclaimed.

"This is bad... if even the Integration cultivators are severely injured, could it be that the Monster Clan wants to restart the war?"

Xu Qingzi also murmured to herself.

"The Great Array is shattered?"

Fang Xi also spoke up: "Could it be that the Array covering nearly the entire Sky Brahman Domain is damaged? Couldn’t that mean, in the future, it might be possible for Primordial Chaos Beasts or even malevolent creatures of Integration or Returning to Emptiness stages to migrate from outside?"

Compared to the Super Teleportation Array, he valued the Array protecting the Sky Brahman Domain even more.

After all, only with this Array functioning properly, plus their efforts in clearing the Sky Brahman Domain, would the danger within the domain decrease, eventually transforming it into a land of peace for the human race.

But if the Great Array was compromised, no matter how many Wild Beasts they killed, a single large migration of beasts from the wilderness could easily render all their efforts in vain.

Lord YuanYin surveyed the room, saw the Transcendent God cultivators filled with panic, and couldn’t help but smile bitterly in her heart.

When she first received this news, she was no less shaken than these people.

But now, with a stern face and the terrifying pressure of a Returning to Emptiness cultivator descending, the place fell silent.

"I can answer your questions one by one..."

Lord YuanYin glanced at Master Kuantao: "First, the Super Teleportation Array is destroyed, and we temporarily cannot return. Even those who reached a certain cultivation duration and merit, who are supposed to be arranged to return, are not able to leave... unless you choose to traverse the Heaven Extinction Desert in the Flame Fire Domain..."

Upon hearing this, Master Kuantao and others’ faces changed slightly.

They were well-informed about that Heaven Extinction Desert; only Integration cultivators had a chance of making it through.

Beyond that, Returning to Emptiness cultivators had a nine in ten chance of dying, and as for Transcendent God cultivators? It was essentially a sure death!

Even the prospect of traveling from Black Rock Market Town to the edge of the Heaven Extinction Desert seemed far-fetched to them.

The expanse in question was that of a whole domain, a region yet to be developed!

Transcendent God cultivators might traverse a domain controlled by the human race, but in such untamed territories, they might encounter a Primordial Chaos Beast before even reaching the desert and face annihilation...

"...Therefore, all we can do now is hold our position and wait for reinforcements."

Lord YuanYin said: "The good news is... the Monster Clan has not initiated war, they have just caused destruction... and even if they did start a war, being held up here means we won’t be going to the Three Realms Mountain battlefield anymore."

At those words, Fairy Yunxi and Liu Xu exchanged glances.

If a Tri-clan War were to break out again, the fate of Transcendent God cultivators would indeed be unpredictable.

Compared to that, clearing in the Sky Brahman Domain seemed like good news?

Yet, this place was also extremely dangerous, not to mention that they were now cut off from support and contact.

In reality, does it seem any better?

Lord YuanYin swept her gaze over Fang Xi: "The Array that guards this domain has indeed sustained damages due to the Monster Clan’s surprise attack; right now, Sky Brahman City is trying to make repairs... but until then, a large influx of Wild Beasts is inevitable... All of you must prepare to make Black Rock Market Town your stronghold and hold out for reinforcements! I shall start assigning tasks now..."
