"Nezha is fine. Zong Ting and I were trapped on the eighth floor of the Demon Sealing Tower by Zhuang Zizhen and Ao Hai Chi Ning. Zhuang Zizhen originally wanted to chase Nezha, but at the last moment, Master Li Changan and Master Shen Qingyi arrived and took Nezha away from the Demon Sealing Tower, so Nezha should be safe."
Zhou Yuan frowned, but he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, a total of seventy-one Taixuan disciples entered the Demon Garden, but only twenty-eight returned alive. The casualties were heavy. Please punish me, Master!"
Zhao Zhuo fell to his knees with a thud, his face filled with grief.
Many people still stepped out of the entrance of the Demon Garden. Almost all the independent cultivators and disciples of small sects died in the Demon Garden. Those who came out alive were basically people from the five major holy places, but together, there were only more than a hundred people.
Following Zhao Zhuo were Zong Ting from Chaoyang Ancient City, Chi Ning from Sifang Pavilion, Ao Hai from Beitianmen, and some disciples from Aries Academy.
Li Jing and others rushed over and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ao Hai walk out of the Demon Garden alive.
"Danyun, the Beizhou Holy Land sects hold a meeting every fifty years. It is originally intended to train the sect disciples and select patriots to go to Canglan to resist the invasion of the demon tribe. There has never been such a huge number of casualties." Li Jing glanced at the disciples of Beitianmen and said in a deep voice.
"Tai Xuanzong, you must give me an explanation!"
"Yes, we gave you one thousand spirit crystals for each of our disciples, but in the end, all of them died or were injured. You must give us an explanation!"
"yes……"
Representatives from various sects arrived at Shenxiang Peak one after another, and they were all excited.
But at this moment, the air on Shenxiang Peak suddenly turned cold.
"Where is Zhuangzi Zhen from Baiyang Academy? Why hasn't he come back?"
Only then did everyone realize that the leader of Aries Academy, Zhuang Zizhen, who was at the peak of Guiyuan, was not present.
Perhaps ordinary people do not know Zhuangzi's true identity, but a few bigwigs in the holy land know that Zhuangzi is indeed the most beloved grandson of Zhuang Wenqing, the vice president of Aries Academy. If Zhuangzi is really dead, Zhuang Wenqing will definitely be furious, and the conflict between him and Taixuan Sect will inevitably intensify.
"Fellow Daoist Gulai, don't be angry. There were some unexpected changes in the Demon Garden. It's just that your sect's Zhuangzi has great cultivation and has received the true teachings of the Aries Academy, so he will be fine." Danyun stepped forward to explain.
"The disciples undergoing the trials are still leaving. Perhaps Zhuangzi is the last one left. Look, Nezha, whom I sent, and Li Changan, who went to the Demon Garden to welcome the disciples, haven't returned either. Don't worry, fellow Daoist."
Gu Lai had a gloomy face. He knew that Li Changan went to the Demon Garden to welcome the disciples for the trial, but he also knew that he had not shown up yet, so he was slightly relieved.
But soon, a disciple who had participated in the trial ran over and whispered something, and Gu Lai's face suddenly became gloomy again.
"I hope nothing has happened to Zhuangzi. Otherwise, I'm afraid your Taixuan Sect won't be able to afford the price!"
Dan Yun laughed and said, "Don't worry. Although the Demon Garden has said some things, it is a trial cave after all. The changes there are within our control..."
boom!
Before Dan Yun finished speaking, he felt the Shenxiang Peak suddenly shake violently, as if a dragon was turning over, which scared everyone present. Then a chaotic stream of light and debris came out from the entrance of the Demon Garden, rising into the sky and gradually dissipating. It was also mixed with a strong sense of spatial rules and the taste of extinction.
Danyun "..."
Zhou Yuan's expression changed drastically, his eyelids trembling, "Master, the Demon Garden... is ruined!"
Now everyone was getting nervous, especially the disciples who were taking part in the trial. They couldn't help but feel scared. If they had been a little later, they would have been buried in the broken void together with the Demon Garden.
Gu Lai's expression was frighteningly gloomy. He stretched out his hand to absorb a trace of the breath of the law of extinction. He sensed it silently for a while. He could sense the chaotic fluctuations of rules and a strong smell of blood, which made his heart sink to the bottom.
"Danyun, what did you say!"
Danyun's eyelids twitched. He felt an extremely strong murderous aura from Gulai. It seemed that Zhuangzi was really missing, which had completely angered this old man.
"Fellow Daoist Gulai, don't get excited. Haha, the destruction of the Demon Garden was also within my expectations. It's just that it happened a little faster than expected." Dan Yun withdrew his consciousness from Xiaoqiong Peak and breathed a sigh of relief.
"The three people from my sect who haven't returned yet have their life lanterns safe and sound. They must have encountered some problems along the way. Haha, with Li Changan from my sect leading the way, your sect's Zhuangzi will definitely be fine..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Gu Lai take out a white jade pendant from the void. The jade pendant shattered from the center, almost breaking into two pieces.
Danyun "..."
Is this old bastard deliberately slapping me in the face?
He recognized that this jade pendant was the same thing as the Taixuan Sect's life lamp. It contained the power of the cultivator's soul. If the cultivator died, the jade pendant would shatter.
Zhuangzi is really dead.
Although Danyun was a little annoyed, he was also certain that Zhuangzi of Aries Academy was really doomed.
"Ahem, this..." Danyun Zhenren didn't know how to explain, "Trials always have unexpected events. I guess Zhuangzi really encountered a powerful demon at a higher level and was killed because he didn't check it out. Ahem, this... life and death are determined by fate. Zhuangzi really died at the hands of a demon beast. I, the old Taoist, have nothing to say."
The leaders of all the major holy places came out safely, but your eldest brother is dead. What does this mean? It only means that your kid is not very skilled.
Can you blame me for this? It wasn't me who killed him.
Gu Lai gritted his teeth, murderous aura boiling in his body. If it was an ordinary disciple, it would be fine, but Zhuang Zizhen was the grandson of Zhuang Wenqing, the vice-president of Aries Academy. Zhuang Wenqing was one of the only four people in the Hedao realm in Aries Academy, and he was a tyrannical and overbearing person. If Zhuang Zizhen died, he would have no way to explain to Zhuang Wenqing.
"Fellow Daoist Gulai, this trial was a result of my Taixuan Sect's inconsiderateness. Disciples from various sects have suffered injuries. My sect is willing to compensate you. I hope you will accept my condolences."
Danyun used Tai Chi to try to get away with it.
But what he didn't expect was that at this moment, Ao Hai from Beitianmen actually stood up and said, "Master Danyun, wait a minute, I know how Zhuangzi really died!"
Gu Lai's face hardened, "Speak!"
Danyun suddenly had a bad feeling, but it was too late to stop it.
"On the ninth floor of the Demon Sealing Tower in the Demon Garden, Zhuang Zizhen went after someone alone and ultimately couldn't retreat in time. I think that in addition to being killed by the demon beast on the ninth floor, Zhuang Zizhen might have also died at the hands of that person."
Ao Hai's words immediately aroused everyone's speculation.
Could it be that Zhuangzi really died at the hands of someone?
The ordinary sect representatives hadn't reacted yet, but the people from the five major holy places suddenly had a look in their eyes.
Fairy spirit?
Could it be that Zhuangzi was silenced by that person when he was competing with him for the fairy spirit of the Demon Garden?
"Who is that person!" Li Jing asked.
Ao Hai's eyes were complicated, with undisguised hatred, "Taixuan Jiufeng, Nezha!"
