The Black-Clad Demonic Cultivator Returns! (Part 2)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is not a simple Blood Soul Devouring Array.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It is a more extensive and powerful, yet more sinister variant of the formation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They have added something new to the original foundation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final scene recorded in the Imaging Jade Scroll was a brief but devastating battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Li Family Head activated the Protective Array, and a pale blue light barrier enveloped the entire valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, a high-level demonic cultivator dressed in black robes, wearing a bronze mask, casually waved a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That palm, seemingly light and effortless, stirred the demonic qi between heaven and earth, transforming into an enormous black hand, several tens of feet in size, descending from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third-tier Protective Array, capable of withstanding the full force attack of a Golden Core Intermediate Stage cultivator, crumbled like paper, turning into countless specks of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Li Family Head, along with over a dozen Foundation Establishment Elders by his side, didn’t even have time to scream before being crushed into dust by the enormous black hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura emanating from that bronze-masked malevolent cultivator had already reached the Nascent Soul Initial Realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Nascent Soul Stage demonic cultivator!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This discovery made the hearts of all the Elders present sink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seriousness of the situation had far exceeded their expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following days, bad news came like snowflakes, one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wang Family’s medicine garden in the eastern part of the sect was destroyed, with thousands of acres of precious spiritual medicine burned to ashes by a strange demon fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sun Family’s fleet in the south was entirely annihilated in an unknown attack while transporting supplies on the Lancang River, turning the river water black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhang Family Village in the north, a place where Luo Qingchen had once passed through, also did not escape devastation; the entire village turned into a ghostly land overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every attack mirrored the same pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A twisted scorpion symbol and traces of a more powerful variant of the formation were left at the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enemy’s actions grew increasingly audacious and unrestrained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Qingyun Sect was cloaked in a repressive atmosphere interwoven with terror and anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sect immediately dispatched several elite squads, led by Elders, to investigate everywhere, yet couldn’t even catch a glimpse of the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These black-robed demonic cultivators moved like phantoms from hell, appearing and disappearing without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each time they emerged, they struck with precision at the sect’s weakest points, achieving their target in a single blow, then rapidly retreating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the depths of the main peak’s research hall, Luo Qingchen stood before a large map of the Qingyun Mountain Range and surrounding areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of the attacked locations from the past few days were marked in red cinnabar on the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Family Qingshi Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Family Medicine Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The section of the river where the Sun Family’s fleet was attacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Family Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These four points, seemingly unrelated, scattered across the territories of the Qingyun Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Luo Qingchen connected these four points with a line of spiritual power, a massive, irregular outline emerged on the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart skipped a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out another pen and marked more overlooked small-scale attack sites on the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As more points were marked, the massive outline became increasingly clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the embryonic form of an unimaginably vast and sinister formation covering the entire Qingyun Mountain Range, even affecting thousands of miles of surrounding area!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They… they’re not merely plundering resources!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Qingchen’s voice carried a barely noticeable tremor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Xuan Yang and the Elders present all gathered around, their faces filled with astonishment and suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They are setting up a formation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Qingchen extended his finger, pressing heavily on the center of the map, where the main peak of Qingyun Sect was represented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All their previous attacks, all the destruction on affiliated families and resource points, were merely for collecting materials for the formation and testing the formation’s power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Their true target, from the beginning, has been us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They are stealthily arranging a super evil formation around our sect that is beyond our knowledge and imagination!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This conjecture, like a lightning bolt, exploded in everyone’s minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This timing…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Qingchen’s gaze fell again on the star map data that the research group had just made a breakthrough on, and a more dreadful thought surged into his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All the acceleration of their actions aligns perfectly with the progress of our star map research!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They know we are studying the star map!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They might even know that we are about to open the Star Gate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This gigantic sinister formation has only one purpose!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Qingchen raised his head, enunciating each word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Either to launch a fatal attack from the outside at the critical moment of us opening the Star Gate, utterly destroying us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Or… to take advantage of the energy fluctuations caused by us opening the Star Gate to activate their evil formation, achieving some more insidious and terrifying purpose!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For instance… seizing the Star Gate, or… contaminating the Star Gate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A silence akin to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air in the hall seemed to freeze at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every face was colored with unprecedented horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Luo Qingchen’s conjecture was true, what they faced would no longer be a group of ordinary demonic cultivators, but a highly organized, meticulously planned, and deeply knowledgeable formidable enemy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sect Leader!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Qingchen suddenly turned, making a deep bow to Master Xuan Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Disciple pleads to immediately elevate the sect’s alert to the highest level!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Recall all disciples sent out at once! The Mountain Protection Array, to be operative around the clock!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We must take the initiative before their formation is complete and destroy it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Xuan Yang’s face was dark as water ready to drip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the alarming gigantic formation outline on the map, then at Luo Qingchen’s eyes, filled with determination and resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long pause, he slowly nodded, his voice icy and murderous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Approved.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Convey my decree.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From this moment, Qingyun Sect enters a state of war!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unprecedented sense of crisis, like an invisible net, instantly enveloped the entire Qingyun Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind this net, a larger and more unfathomable shadow seemed to loom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This power far exceeded what a normal demonic cultivator organization could possess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who are they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What terrifying existence stands behind them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this was a massive enigma waiting for Luo Qingchen and the entire Qingyun Sect to unravel themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Qingyun Sect entered a state of war, the atmosphere throughout the sect turned tense and murderous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The towering mountain gate was perpetually enveloped by a thick golden light screen, a sign of the Mountain Protection Array operating at full capacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless patrols composed of Inner Sect Disciples, riding sword lights like meteors, shuttled back and forth within and outside the sect, their sharp eyes scanning every suspicious corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sense of imminent external assault focused everyone’s attention on defending against the black-robed demonic cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the strongest fortress often falls from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A conspiracy targeting Luo Qingchen and the star map research quietly brewed under this tense atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Zhenxiong may have been dismissed and imprisoned in the Black Iron Dungeon behind the main peak, reserved for high-profile offenders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the network he established over years within the sect was not entirely eradicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who once depended on him and gained benefits from him, like serpents lurking in dark corners, temporarily dormant but always waiting for a chance to strike back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the hall of the star map research group, a small “accident” was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A disciple from the Array Hall responsible for maintaining the monitoring formation accidentally slipped when replacing a core spirit stone, causing the precious Upper Grade Spirit Stone to fly out of his grasp, crashing right into the Memorial Crystal Stone that recorded crucial data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crisp sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Memorial Crystal Stone shattered on impact, turning into a groundful of powder.\u003C\u002Fp>",1343,"2026-06-03T12:45:05.802Z","2026-06-03T12:45:10.071Z",1,"novelbin.me","403f6c154c2e05c61eb8b7ac2deaacd010da6f6fcaca6e7422d3cbc4132e1d97","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-2019","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-2017",2094,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--cover.jpg"]
