Chapter 92: The Clam
"Three Golden Core cultivators!"
Everyone was shocked and alarmed, but then the supreme sect leader revealed even more startling news. "I just contacted Junior Brother Gu. After his seclusion, he discovered that the Eight Trigrams Forbidden Ground had been sealed off by a strange forbidden art. The art is mysterious and difficult to decipher, so it might be impossible to break through it in a short time to send reinforcements."
Seeing the panic on everyone’s faces, the supreme sect leader smiled and said, "There’s no need to be afraid. The Sect's Protective Array, set up by two Spiritual Infant cultivators invited by the patriarch, can't be breached by just a few Core Formation Realm cultivators. Right now, ring the Evil-Striking Bell to gather all Foundation Building disciples on the mountain. Together, we’ll operate the array to defend against the enemy. I've already sent messages requesting reinforcements. Once a few of our allies arrive, the crisis will naturally resolve itself."
After Xuan Chengzi and the others left the cave dwelling, filled with fear and anxiety, the smile on the supreme sect leader’s face immediately disappeared. His expression became extremely grave as his figure gradually faded from the cave dwelling and reappeared above the sect's protective array.
Demonic flames surged, and after the Supreme Sect Leader of the Yuanzhao Sect manifested, Yi Tianye’s figure also emerged from the flames.
…
Zhao Yan, with Qin Sang and three others, descended from Sect Leader Peak and dove straight into the lake.
The ground continued to tremble without end, the silt at the bottom of the lake rose, and the water rippled, turning murky. Using the chaotic conditions at the bottom of the lake as cover, the five of them quickly dove deeper.
Their visibility was limited to the filthy water around them, and it was unclear how deep they had gone when a faint light suddenly appeared ahead. Zhao Yan immediately ordered them to slow down and quietly approach the light.
