Chapter 657 - 757: Shanmen’s Call for Aid
Just as everyone was about to completely disperse, suddenly the Taichu Sect Leader shouted to everyone: "Come back, there's an emergency, quickly come to the Taichu Hall."
And upon hearing the shout from the Taichu Sect Leader, everyone immediately turned around and headed towards the Taichu Hall. Although they didn't know what kind of emergency the Taichu Sect Leader mentioned, since they hadn't left yet, having just stepped out of the Taichu Hall, maybe the Taichu Sect Leader forgot some piece of information, and that's why he called them back.
After the crowd entered the Taichu Hall, the Taichu Sect Leader spoke directly: "Just now, I received a message through secret methods from the Shan Sect. They are currently under attack by members of that organization and have been surrounded. Their situation is similar to ours; no matter how the enemies are killed, they remain indestructible, reviving countless times. They have gathered all disciples of the Shan Sect in their back mountain and set up an Array to block the organization's advances. They are now requesting our aid."
The Taichu Sect Leader explained the situation clearly and straightforwardly. Upon hearing his words, everyone was shocked, confirming their suspicion that the target was the Evil Daffodil of the Shan Sect.
However, no one could think of a good solution. The reason they managed to repel that organization was due to the help of the Five-colored Divine Phoenix, and without it, even if they all went over, it would be useless. They currently have no means or ability to completely eliminate those people.
Everyone looked towards the Taichu Sect Leader, unsure of what to do because even if they went to aid, they would simply add another head within that Array of the Shan Sect, serving no real purpose.
"Or perhaps have the Shan Sect use the Array to trap those people first, and later, when a solution is found, go and eliminate them?" Ye Tianfan suddenly spoke up.
Upon hearing Ye Tianfan's words, everyone suddenly found it reasonable. If they could trap them using the Array, it should prevent them from coming out.
"What if they self-destruct at the edge of the Array? Upon reviving, there's a high chance they could appear outside the Array. So using an Array won't be of much use," said Ping Chu.
Ye Tianfan stopped speaking after hearing this. Since even Ping Chu, who is proficient in Arrays, said so, then an Array would indeed be ineffective. But then Ye Tianfan continued: "Uncle Ping Chu, if according to what you say, them surrounding the Array of the Shan Sect might have another purpose. If they self-destructed beside the Array, wouldn't their revival occur inside the Array? But currently, they are only surrounding the Array, not attacking, which makes me think they might be stalling for time or planning some other scheme."
Upon hearing Ye Tianfan's words, everyone was taken aback. Yes, if the Array can't confine them, it means the Array can't defend against them. But that's not quite right either, since the Nine-colored Glass Wall of the Taichu Sect could completely restrain them...
Everyone suddenly realized that the Nine-colored Glass Wall was released by the Five-colored Divine Phoenix and not an inherent Array of the Taichu Sect. The Taichu Sect's own Array envelops the entire sect, not just the Taichu Peak.
"The Evil Daffodil." The Taichu Sect Leader calmly said: "They probably haven't found the Evil Daffodil yet, which is why they're surrounding the Shan Sect's Array, delaying so that the Shan Sect doesn't discover their true intent. If the Shan Sect found out their real goal, they might activate the Evil Daffodil to eradicate them. But the Shan Sect currently doesn't know that the Evil Daffodil could eliminate these foes, so they haven't brought it out yet."
"Sect Leader Brother, if things continue like this and they find the Evil Daffodil, our cultivation world will stand no chance. We need to alert the Shan Sect and support them," Ping Chu said.
"Wait a moment. I'll inform Shan Sect's Sect Leader, Fu Yu, about this, hoping it's not too late. As for providing support, we cannot go because if we do, the organization's people might attack our Taichu Sect again," the Taichu Sect Leader said.
After speaking, the Taichu Sect Leader turned and stepped outside the Taichu Hall, leaving everyone inside exchanging worried glances. They hoped the Shan Sect wouldn't let the Evil Daffodil be destroyed, as then the whole cultivation world would lose all hope.
Meanwhile, Ye Tianfan began pondering how to simulate the Power of Purification. If the Power of Purification is contained within sunlight, could it be possible to simulate high-concentration sunlight, thereby increasing the proportion of the Power of Purification to harm the enemy? However, it seemed this method wouldn't work because sunlight isn't easily simulated. And with Ye Tianfan's abilities, simulating sunlight was merely mimicking its temperature. Sunlight's energy is simply temperature; to be precise, it's some heat emanating from fire attributes.
Ye Tianfan was now troubled. What exactly is the Power of Purification? Or, if no one can simulate the Power of Purification, could they quickly heal the Five-colored Divine Phoenix, letting it eliminate the organization's people, or confront them during their full attack on the Taichu Sect, eradicating them swiftly?
But this seemed nearly impossible because, even if they launch an all-out attack against the Taichu Sect, they wouldn't deploy everyone on the battlefield. After all, for them to preserve a legacy for five hundred years implies they will not stake all their power on a single chance.
What should be done? If, according to the Master's strict definition, the Power of Purification doesn't belong to energy but to a form of law, could they start from the laws? Even the Taichu Sect Leader, just a step away from the Taichu Realm, can't condense the Power of Purification, so how could anyone else? Ye Tianfan felt completely hopeless.
While Ye Tianfan was still in distress, the Taichu Sect Leader brought good news from outside, saying that the Shan Sect had held onto the Evil Daffodil. Though slightly damaged, it was still usable, meaning their hope in dealing with that organization was now rekindled.
