Chapter 938: The Demonic Tribulation Erupts (Part 2)
As Yang Chen retreated, the days passed slowly for a few years with the expectations of all parties. Then, as if following the schedule set by Yang Chen, the trial place began to undergo drastic changes without warning.
All the changes happened without any warning. They happened completely suddenly, leaving no one with time to prepare.
In the huge trial place, suddenly a mysterious door seemed to be opened, and then crazy monsters appeared all over the mountains and plains.
These monsters that suddenly appeared began to launch crazy attacks on the monks around them. The strength of the monster beasts was beyond the imagination of the monks in the trial area. Tens of thousands of monks were lost in just an instant.
Following Yang Chen's warning, each major sect had arrangements at the trial site. Not only did all the disciples stay away from the center of the trial place, they only practiced near the entrance and exit areas where their respective sects were responsible for the handles, they also withdrew all the low-level human immortal disciples, leaving only masters above the mid-level earth immortal.
It turns out that all the major sects have considered this arrangement to be foolproof. Even if there is a sudden change, with the level of these disciples, they can respond in time and save their lives. Moreover, to ensure the safety of the areas guarded by their respective sects, the sects also need to place some disciples in this area.
This little bit of self-righteousness ruined these experienced disciples in the place of trial. Almost none of the monsters that suddenly appeared out of nowhere were cultivators below the fifth level of Xuanxian. Except for a few Xuanxian-level supreme masters from each major sect who survived, all the other disciples in the trial area were wiped out.
In less than a stick of incense after the demonic calamity broke out, the major sects had lost more than 10,000 earthly and heavenly immortal disciples in total. On average, each sect recruits hundreds of people.
Finally, each major sect deployed powerful formations near the entrances and exits that each major sect was responsible for, and this was able to withstand the life-threatening impact of these crazy monsters. But as more monsters rushed out from the core of the trial place, they appeared. These formations also began to be in danger.
Almost all the senior sect members began to regret after hearing the news. It's obvious that Yang Chen has woken everyone up, and it's obvious that all the sects know that the monsters at the core of the trial area are powerful and terrifying. They didn't take the warning completely to heart. They just made some targeted arrangements to be foolproof, which led to this tragedy.
If I had known this, I should have withdrawn all the disciples of the Earthly Immortal and Heavenly Immortal, leaving only the Xuanxian-level masters. At least they couldn't defeat them, and they could also escape with their lives through the protection of the formation. It's not like now, when every sect has lost hundreds of earthly and heavenly immortal disciples, you know. These disciples are all elites, even if they are from a large sect, their flesh is so tight!
But relatively speaking, there were a few sects that really took Yang Chen's warning seriously, such as the Yin Yang Demon Sect, the Wuji Demon Sect, the Five Elements Sect, Baguio Island, and the Qingyun Sect. Their losses were relatively small. Although several Celestial Immortal disciples were sacrificed, most of the elite disciples in the trial area still saved their lives.
On the other hand, Xuantian Sect, which Yang Chen specifically woke up from, suffered the most losses this time among almost all sects. One of the two core executives at the immortal level died. The other one was seriously injured and is still unconscious and has used all kinds of elixirs. He could only barely save his life. I don’t know if I want to fully recover, but I still have to wait until the end of the year of the monkey. This is not like Yang Chen. Just practice the destroyed practices again.
If the core elders are like this, the disciples who are responsible for monitoring the changes in the trial land are even worse. Two core elders led thousands of elite warriors. In the end, only less than two hundred people escaped. Among the losses suffered by various major sects in the past hundred years, apart from the execution of thousands of elite disciples of Five Elements Sect some time ago, Xuantian Sect suffered the greatest loss this time.
No need to ask, this must have been arranged by Elder Li and Sect Leader Wang. Elder Li listened to Yang Chen's words and rushed back to the sect with injuries all over his body. While tracking down the murderer, he also truthfully reported Yang Chen's subsequent warnings to the head of the Wang sect. After a secret discussion between Sect Master Wang and Hall Master Liu, Elder Li, it was decided that the two core elders would personally lead the team to monitor the trial site.
Externally, it was called Xuantianmen's unusual attention, but when the news came back to Xuantianmen, apart from the sadness on his face, the leader of the Wang family did not feel much pain and regret in his heart.
As for Elder Li, he was once again grateful that he had a good disciple. If he hadn't woken up carefully, he might have been the one who died because he was able to grab the top spot. But now, with the core elders of the two rival factions dead and crippled, most of the strength of their two sects will soon be absorbed by Hall Master Liu and Elder Li, the leaders of the Wang Sect.
This is entirely the fault of the Zhao family. Who can tell that this is an organized and planned elimination of dissidents? The seamless situation achieved the set goal and purified the team. Others couldn't tell what the problem was. Is there any more wonderful arrangement than this?
After suffering huge losses, the major sects really paid attention to Yang Chen's awakening. However, now that the tragedy has occurred, it is too late to regret. Besides, Yang Chen had already announced his retreat and rebuilding a few years ago. He couldn't find Yang Chen. Even if he found him, there would be no place to reason, so he had to maintain the situation first.
Fortunately, outside the trial area, every sect has also deployed protective formations for the sake of safety. When the formation inside the trial place is broken by the surging monster beasts, the disciples inside still have the opportunity to calmly exit outside the trial place.
Then, things that shocked everyone started to happen. Wave-like monsters began to attack the formation on the edge of the trial land, which was the oldest formation that surrounded the trial land.
This formation has existed for who knows how many thousands of years, and it has always been extremely strong. No monster has ever been able to break out. However, in front of this surge of monsters, the formation only lasted for less than two months before it completely shattered.
The disciples of the major sects who were watching outside watched all this happening in stunned silence. After the shock, they finally reacted and began to gradually evacuate with the help of the formations they had already prepared.
The raging swarm of monster beasts is no longer something humans can contend with. The smartest move is to stay away from them. The only thing everyone was thankful for was that they had received Yang Chen's warning and had arranged enough formations to allow them to retreat to a safe place, that's all.
At this point, the monsters were no longer restrained and began to rush in all directions. The demonic calamity in the spiritual world finally began to affect more sects and a wider area. (To be continued...)
