Senior Brother Song also agreed with Xie Zhou, and chimed in, "Junior Sister Xie is right. We must inform some of the sect's elders about this matter, as they are highly respected and this matter is extremely dangerous. We should leave here as soon as possible."
The other disciples also agreed, and the group decided to immediately withdraw from the ancient battlefield and let the elders of the sect handle the matter.
The disciples of the Sword Sect then took out the teleportation tokens they wore at their waists and left the ancient battlefield, only to find that when they silently recited the incantation, the teleportation tokens did not react at all, and no teleportation channel appeared.
The disciples looked at each other, puzzled.
"Senior brother, the teleportation token given by Wuyou Pavilion has expired!"
Song Wu frowned, looking at the token in his hand with disbelief. The token had been working perfectly before, so why did it suddenly stop working at this time?
He gripped the teleportation token tightly in his hand, refusing to believe it, and closed his eyes, holding the token in his palm while silently reciting the teleportation incantation.
"open!…"
When he opened his eyes again, the token was just hanging in his palm without any reaction. There was no teleportation channel around him, just like always.
Song Wu then put the token away and asked loudly, "Have all the disciples confirmed that the teleportation tokens in their hands are unusable? Have they all tried them? See if there's a single token that works?"
Immediately afterwards, the disciples who were initially able to use the tokens began to silently recite the incantation, preparing to open the teleportation channel as they had done before, but the tokens in their hands remained unmoved and showed no reaction whatsoever.
"It's no use!"
"It's no use..."
Xie Zhou and the others also showed slight surprise on their faces.
"Didn't you say that this token, Senior Brother Song, could be used indefinitely? What's going on here?"
Senior Brother Luo stepped forward and inquired.
Senior Brother Feng Wu was also puzzled. I was somewhat embarrassed. I apologized, saying I didn't know either, not even about the Worry-Free Pavilion. This had never happened before. Perhaps when we opened the Four Saints' Tomb and entered, something interfered with the token, causing it to malfunction.
Xie Zhou joined in, saying, "Since none of these tokens are usable, how do we leave the ancient battlefield?"
These words immediately presented a difficult problem. Everyone frowned, pondering how to resolve the situation. After all, unknown dangers awaited them. Senior Brother Song and the others were even more at a loss, glancing at the ancient battlefield around them and then at the tokens worn at their waists.
But there was no way to escape. The group of people quietly shut their mouths and racked their brains to figure out how to escape the ancient battlefield.
However, the only way they knew was to leave this place by using the teleportation token given by the Worry-Free Pavilion. Were there any other ways?
Even if they racked their brains, they couldn't come up with any other schemes.
Even when everyone was silent, a very discordant voice suddenly came over.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!..."
The group quickly looked in that direction and saw several stiff limbs walking towards them step by step, holding their own magical weapons and attacking the disciples of other sects. Their condition was exactly the same as the black-clad man she had seen, with bloodshot eyes and black energy emanating from their bodies.
Xie Zhou hurriedly warned, "Everyone be careful! These people have been infected by the black energy and are now rioting. Leave here quickly to avoid being infected. Be extra careful when fighting the rioters, and make sure you don't get caught or attacked. Be especially careful of the black energy!"
The disciples of the Sword Sect immediately became alert, seeing the increasing number of rioters frantically attacking other sects around them, and drew their magical weapons in preparation for self-defense.
The sect's disciples, with remarkable coordination, surrounded some of the weaker junior brothers and sisters in the middle, while they stood on the perimeter, ready to defend against any sudden attacks from the rioters!
"Roar! Ha!..."
More and more people were infected by the black aura. The sect disciples who had been attacked by the men in black suddenly rose from the pool of blood and became members of the rioting force.
"Everyone, get out of here!"
They launched a fierce attack on the disciples of the surrounding sects. Their numbers were simply too great, and some sects were no match for them and had to retreat hastily.
As Xie Zhou watched the number of people grow, she quickly unleashed her powerful mental energy to temporarily deter the rioters who were advancing in this direction. However, the number of rioters was increasing, and the spread of the black energy was also accelerating. Initially, it would take some time for the energy to ferment, but unexpectedly, the person who had just been injured and knocked to the ground by the group of rioters got up and turned into that state in less than a quarter of an hour.
Meanwhile, Song Wu and Senior Brother Luo discovered this during the fight and quickly sought out Xie Zhou to discuss how to keep the infectious black energy out.
"Junior sister, did you know that the pervasive black mist is contagious?"
"Of course I know all that. It's very likely that the black aura represents the power generated by the riot of the men in black just now. Since the men in black are dead, this riotous power will rise again and grow in other hosts. At first, I thought that all the black aura had dissipated into the air and this state would not occur, but I didn't expect it to still happen!"
"What should we do now? There are just too many of them; there's no way to resist them."
"How about this, we can work together to create a very large barrier to block the attacks of those rioters and protect some disciples who have not been infected within the barrier."
