Capítulo 858: Chapter 516: Rescue, Laser Array

The Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect Isolation Zone is located on the edge of the Spirit Miao Continent.

Beyond that lies the Abyss and the Endless Void… Only the large Treasure Ships of the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect can pass through.

Golden Core Stage Cultivators who venture inside will become disoriented and ultimately trapped in the void.

A Treasure Ship slowly flies out from the void…

“Disembark, inspection!”

The Great Array opens, allowing the Treasure Ship to enter the sect, but the countless golden lights still shine above. If there’s any unusual movement inside the Treasure Ship, it will face annihilation by the top-tier Great Array of the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect, one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects of the Spirit Miao Continent!

“Senior Brother, do all the Treasure Ships returning from the Twelve Dynasties need to be inspected here? Aren’t they used by our own disciples?”

A bewildered female cultivator leans against her Senior Brother’s back, asking confusedly.

“Yes… The situation with the Twelve Dynasties is severe now. Our sect is conducting strict inspections to prevent alien races from sneakily climbing onto Treasure Ships, and there are cross-checks too, to prevent any disciple from showing favoritism…”

“Oh… Will it be dangerous for us to go there?”

“Don’t worry, we have an Uncle from the Earth Spirit Pavilion there, who will protect us.”

Senior Brother Mao from the Earth Spirit Pavilion touched his bald head, waiting calmly and leisurely for the inspection to be completed, but as he watched…

“It’s not right… This Treasure Ship usually comes and goes fully loaded, it’s hard to find a seat, why isn’t there any movement for a long time?”

Following his gaze, the Treasure Ship that had just returned from the Silver Land Dynasty was ghostly empty… like a Ghost Ship.

The inspecting disciples immediately raised their Magic Artifacts and activated the Array to crush down fiercely!

“Captain! Captain, come out! Undergo inspection!”

Still no movement from inside the Treasure Ship…

Buzz!!!

“Cloud Qun Swallow!”

With a single incantation, a Golden Core Elder simultaneously flies over.

The Array in the sky distorted the sunlight, transforming into a huge Cloud Qun that directly swallowed the Treasure Ship into its belly.

“Elder Yun!” The inspecting disciples bowed.

He waved his hand and directly manipulated the Array to inspect the Treasure Ship, moments later… a pair of cloud hands brought out a male cultivator whose stomach had a large hole and was covered in moss, his breath weak.

This was indeed the captain of the Treasure Ship.

Elder Yun furrowed his brow.

“It’s the Devouring Spirit Clan… Captain Li, what happened? Why did you come back alone?”

He infused a stream of Golden Core Spiritual Energy to awaken the captain.

Captain Li slowly awoke, initially startled, reached for his Magic Treasure, but the next moment, seeing he was at the sect, he relaxed.

“Back… Ugh~”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of green blood, containing small spores, resembling newly germinated mushrooms, a somewhat dense revulsion.

Whew~

Elder Yun gently waved his hand, directly burning them to ashes.

“Was the Devouring Spirit Clan attacking you? Did you set sail early?”

“Yes… The Silver Land Dynasty has already fallen, their last line of defense was breached, there’s not a single safe place left in the entire Dynasty. I was anchored inside the Black Dragon Sect of the Silver Land Dynasty, witnessing the demise of this sect firsthand… Then I activated the Treasure Ship to fly back to the sect, encountered the Devouring Spirit Clan masters along the way, fought with all my might but couldn’t win, activated the Treasure Ship’s ultimate technique, and fled while injured…”

Elder Yun then asked again: “What about the other disciples? Why didn’t you bring them back with you?”

One should know, there were many disciples sent by the Silver Land Dynasty!

As the sect knew the strength here was relatively weak, they’ve always sent the most support.”

Besides dispatching all disciples from the Earth Spirit Pavilion, they also sent over half from the Golden Spirit Pavilion, along with some other Immortal Clan members aiding their homeland. Altogether, there were about 3000 cultivators.

These were all capable fighters!

Most were at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and Golden Core Elders also drew 12 over from other places.

Definitely one of the strongest support groups within the Twelve Dynasties.

So many capable fighters, all gone?

Elder Yun didn’t believe it!

Captain Li smiled bitterly: “I’m not sure… When the Devouring Spirit Clan breached the Black Dragon Sect, our people weren’t in the sect. It seems they went out to eradicate the Devouring Spirit Clan. I waited a long time, until the last moment when it was too late to leave, to avoid surrendering this Treasure Ship to the Devouring Spirit Clan, I left alone.”

“Strange… Over 3000 cultivators, all left together? Why would that happen? The Black Dragon Sect, built relying on the Earth Veins, should be a place easy to defend but hard to attack. Along with years of reinforcing by generations of Earth Cultivation, even if it couldn’t withstand the Devouring Spirit Clan, just defending the Black Dragon Sect wouldn’t have been breached…”

Elder Yun wanted to inquire further, but Captain Li trembled all over, green blisters appeared on his head, with eyes wide open, blood filled his eyeballs.

“Were you parasitized?”

“Cough, cough, cough… Kill… kill me!”

Captain Li looked at Elder Yun with a ferocious expression, feeling something was about to grow in his mind at that moment.

“Alas… Devouring Spirit parasitism, even immortals can’t save.”

Elder Yun looked on sympathetically, but seeing Captain Li in such a ghastly state, ultimately granted him a quick death…

Thud!

A spear pierced the heart, Wind Cloud flowed, personally sending off Li Xiaoyu, who had served as captain for the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect for so many years.

This scene chilled the hearts of all waiting to board the Treasure Ship.

Especially those cultivators whose destination was the Silver Land Dynasty… They couldn’t help but step back a few steps now.

“The Silver Land Dynasty has fallen, and the 3000 cultivators under the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect are missing… I will report to the Sect Leader to blockade the road to the Silver Land Dynasty in the near future.”

Elder Yun left these words before directly flying towards the sect headquarters.
