At the same time
In less than an hour, demonic energy spread throughout the entire Dongya Continent.
The first to notice something was wrong was Xuanxin Sword Master, the sect leader of the Taixuan Sword Sect.
Xuanxin Sword Master immediately activated the sect's protective array and sent Qi Zhantian out to investigate the situation. Half an hour later, Qi Zhantian returned to the sect with a serious expression and said, "Senior Brother, I fear a great calamity is imminent."
"The entire Eastern Continent is shrouded in demonic energy."
"Moreover, the concentration of demonic energy is gradually increasing. If this continues, cultivators may suffer from qi deviation and mortals may die."
Upon hearing this, Xuanxin Sword Master activated the sect's emergency summons, gathering all disciples in the main hall.
The disciples who were originally cultivating all rushed to the main hall as quickly as possible.
The Tai Xuan Sword Sect's emergency conscription order had not been used for hundreds of years, leaving everyone somewhat bewildered.
Jian Wuqing, who was in seclusion, also emerged from seclusion.
During his seclusion this time, he used the 'Ten Thousand Year Mystic Ice' that he had previously obtained in the Qingmeng Secret Realm.
After absorbing the 'Ten Thousand Year Mystic Ice', his cultivation broke through to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Before he could consolidate his cultivation, he received an urgent summons from the sect.
So he came out of his secluded cave.
Fortunately, his cultivation has always been steady and solid, so even without a stable cultivation level, it didn't have much of an impact.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xuanxin Sword Master said, "Wuqing, take your disciples and notify all towns to gather the people in the towns and activate the isolation and protection arrays in the towns."
Jian Wuqing: "Yes."
Xuanxin Sword Master: "Heyue, go back to the Central Continent and relay the news from the Eastern Cliff Continent to the Central Continent, and find out the current situation of the Central Continent and the other continents."
Yuwen Heyue: "Yes."
Xuanxin Sword Master: "Zhan Tian, you stay with me and guard the sect for now. We'll make further plans after He Yue gathers some information."
Qi Zhantian: "Yes, Senior Brother."
Yuwen Heyue left with Ouyang Heshun.
Jian Wuqing led all the remaining disciples away, splitting into several small teams at the sect's main gate and heading to various towns.
Assisting the city lord in gathering all the people in the town and activating the city's isolation and protection array, they were busy for a whole day and night.
During this time, there was no time to explain to the people. He directly used his flying sword to travel through the sky above the Eastern Continent. When he found any trace of mortals, he gathered them up and teleported them to nearby towns.
Although the common people did not know what had happened, seeing that all the cultivators had serious expressions, they felt tense and also became nervous, obediently following the instructions.
After all the people in the towns and cities gathered in the city, they activated the isolation magic array, which isolated and repelled the vast majority of the demonic energy.
However, a small amount of demonic energy still lingered in the city. The cultivators in the city gathered in small groups and used their various supernatural abilities to dispel the demonic energy.
The Isolation Magic Array is said to have been invented by Yu Xingchen, an ancestor of a family of array masters in the Central Continent who ascended to heaven hundreds of thousands of years ago.
The last time demonic energy leaked from the demon realm was a million years ago, resulting in countless deaths and injuries—a truly devastating event.
After that, the Yu family made the isolation magic array public.
It was installed in every town, regardless of whether they were rich or poor.
Unexpectedly, it actually came in very handy.
An isolation magic array, as the name suggests, is a magic array used to isolate ghostly or demonic energy.
The magic circle can also dispel the ghostly and demonic energy that lingers in the air within it.
However, it has no effect on the ghostly or demonic energy inhaled by cultivators or ordinary people.
