Just after walking out a distance, the scene ahead shocked everyone's eyes.
It made everyone involuntarily gasp.
Because in front of them, there appeared a large pile of beast corpses.
Among these corpses, there were even some very high-level beasts, which were the great beasts that the Heavenly Sword Sect had imprisoned during its most glorious time.
There were demon lords, demon saints, and even demon emperors.
Although they had been imprisoned inside for countless years and had long lost their demonic energy and cultivation, they were not to be underestimated.
At least, Duan Qingfeng and the others admitted that perhaps they could protect themselves in this place, but wanting to kill them would be extremely difficult.
"What on earth happened here!"
Everyone gasped.
As they walked on, they discovered more and more piles of corpses ahead, which really shocked everyone.
Looking at these corpses and comparing the numbers, it meant that this unknown threat had killed all the beasts inside.
Under such circumstances,
what kind of terrible thing could have done this?
But what shocked them even more was still to come, because they discovered that the barrier of the Imprisoning Dragon Realm had also been broken through.
Such means,
made people feel their scalps tingle just looking at it.
Back then, when the Heavenly Sword Sect's founding patriarch established the sect with his vast cultivation and formations as the foundation, all these formations were linked together, involving the mountain protecting formation, the Spirit Gathering Formation, the Imprisoning Dragon Realm, and some other core things...
Judging by the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Spirit Gathering Formation had obviously been damaged.
That meant the mysterious being had started from the Imprisoning Dragon Realm and penetrated through to the Spirit Gathering Formation.
Everyone gasped.
What on earth was this thing that could move through the formations, ignoring them completely?
Looking at the hole in the barrier ahead, everyone was stunned.
They knew that mysterious being was deep inside this hole, but no one dared to go in, because inside were all the Heavenly Sword Sect's great formations, like a dense huge net, and with a tiny misstep, they would perish in body and soul.
"I'll go notify the Ancestor, you guys guard this hole," Duan Qingfeng said gloomily.
Because the current situation had already completely exceeded what he could control.
But to the side, Peng Xianer bit her red lips tightly, her face deathly pale.
Because the time of the beasts' deaths and the turmoil in the Heavenly Sword Sect matched perfectly.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
"How could this be?"
"I know everything about that wastrel, how could he have done something like this?"
"Right, it must not be him."
She hurriedly shook her head, feeling like this was too inconceivable, and comforted herself like this.
In a small space,
an old man in blue robes sat cross-legged on the ground, casually looking like a huge sword erected on the ground.
"Ancestor."
Duan Qingfeng knelt on the ground, and just as he was about to speak, Heavenly Sword Sect's Ancestor Ye Tiansheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, waved his hand to stop Duan Qingfeng's words.
"I already know everything that happened," he said.
"Then Ancestor, what do you plan to do?" Duan Qingfeng asked solemnly.
"Don't worry, I will take care of it myself. You may leave first!" Ye Tiansheng said.
Seeing this, Duan Qingfeng's expression lightened slightly.
Since the Ancestor said so, he needn't ask any more.
"Then this junior will calmly await the Ancestor's good news. I will go outside to handle things first."
After speaking, Duan Qingfeng respectfully took his leave.
"Sigh!"
But after Duan Qingfeng left, Ye Tiansheng let out a heavy sigh, with a look of grief on his face.
Walking to the side, he looked at an ancient chessboard on a rock.
This chess set was left by the first Ancestor, who before transcending said that within 10,000 years, the Heavenly Sword Sect would face an existential crisis.
The only way to resolve it was by decoding this chess set.
But over the generations across 10,000 years, including himself, no one had been able to decode this chess set.
Because no matter how it was studied, it was a dead chess game.
Even if an immortal came, it could not be overturned.
"Has the crisis for my Heavenly Sword Sect finally arrived?"
At this moment,
Ye Tiansheng aged dramatically.
Although he had told Duan Qingfeng he would resolve it, he had no solutions whatsoever.
The only thing he could do was sit here and wait.
Because this small space was at the core of all the Heavenly Sword Sect's great formations, so that mysterious being would definitely come here.
But a mysterious entity that could directly break through his Heavenly Sword Sect's formations with power, was that something Ye Tiansheng could deal with?
So rather than saying he would resolve the problem, it was better to say he was waiting here to die, or praying that the other party could leave some leeway for the Heavenly Sword Sect.
This was the most he could do now.
Suddenly, his gaze moved as he looked towards the empty barrier to the side.
He could sense it.
Getting closer.
Closer and closer...
He suddenly stood up, holding his breath as he stared fixedly at that empty space.
"Boom!"
Finally.
An explosive sound rang out.
He saw ripples appearing on that empty space, then a black hole emerged.
Now that the moment he had to face had finally arrived, Ye Tiansheng's whole body trembled as he stared with bloodshot eyes.
Finally, under his anxious waiting, there was movement from the hole.
Then.
A figure slowly walked out...
