Chapter 199: The Truth Behind the Disaster Three Thousand Years Ago

A few days later.

News regarding what happened at the Cave Abode of Xueying Laozu spread like a hurricane throughout the Xianxia Sect, becoming known to many Cultivators and Elders of the Xianxia Sect.

"What did you say? That Cave Abode of Xueying Laozu is fake? That place is actually a ruin sealing away a demon?"

A Foundation Establishment Elder was dumbfounded, simply unable to believe the words reaching their ears.

"That's right."

Another Foundation Establishment Elder nodded: "When the Array Formation of the Xueying Laozu Cave Abode was breached, a large number of Golden Core Real Persons rushed inside. Who could have imagined that a demon was actually sealed within?"

"That demon suddenly lashed out, clearly possessing combat power at the Nascent Soul level. The result is easy to imagine; most of the Golden Core Real Persons and Foundation Establishment Cultivators died miserably at the hands of that demon."

"Only a few Golden Core Real Persons and Foundation Establishment Cultivators were able to leave alive. That place has now become a forbidden zone; no Cultivator dares to go near it anymore."

They briefly recounted the information they had gathered.

"It's actually a ruin sealing a demon?"

"But there was all sorts of evidence before indicating that it was indeed the Cave Abode of Xueying Laozu."

"What on earth is going on here?"

Peak Master of Array Peak Yao Wen simply could not believe that such a thing could happen. In fact, they were not fools; if there hadn't been sufficient evidence proving it was the Cave Abode of Xueying Laozu, they would not have set out in full force.

"I obtained some hearsay."

"It is said that the disaster three thousand years ago was caused by Xueying Laozu."

"This Xueying Laozu is not as simple as an ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator; it is very likely that they are the incarnation of a demon."

"Or perhaps they were controlled by a demon, which is why they went around killing everywhere on Xianxia Island, causing massive casualties."

"In the past, the founder of our Xianxia Sect joined forces with many Nascent Soul Cultivators to surround and kill Xueying Laozu."

"In the end, it cost a huge price to seal away this Xueying Laozu, or rather, the demon."

Peak Master of Danyao Peak Ma Qianjun spoke mysteriously about the hearsay they had heard.

"That's right, it is said that the only Fourth-tier Spirit Vein on Xianxia Island in the past was polluted by that demon."

"To prevent a Demon Disaster from appearing on Xianxia Island, the Xianxia Sect founder chose to destroy that Fourth-tier Spirit Vein."

"This was also a matter of last resort."

"Who could have imagined that our Xianxia Sect would decline and never recover from that point on."

Another Foundation Establishment Elder said in a deep voice.

They had also heard some news from outside about Xianxia Island three thousand years ago.

Although such information is no longer recorded within the Xianxia Sect, outside of Xianxia Island, there seem to be some Nascent Soul level powers that have recorded this matter.

This information was also specifically spread by Xuanbao Pavilion.

"Fortunately, the Sect Master insisted on not going to the Cave Abode of Xueying Laozu; otherwise, even if our Xianxia Sect hadn't died out this time, we would have been left half-crippled." A Foundation Establishment Elder felt extremely fortunate.

They recalled how they had wanted to submit a petition to the Sect Master to explore the Cave Abode of Xueying Laozu and obtain the Treasure inside.

Fortunately, the Sect Master withstood the pressure of public opinion, resisted the temptation of the Nascent Soul Cave Abode, and prevented the Xianxia Sect Cultivators from going to that Cave Abode.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even know how many Foundation Establishment Elders would have died this time.

Even a Golden Core Real Person like the Sect Master might not have survived.

At that point, the Xianxia Sect might have truly become history.

"To be honest, did the Sect Master know long ago that there was something fishy about the Cave Abode of Xueying Laozu, which is why they were never interested in it and even stopped other Cultivators from going?"

Someone asked with great curiosity.

After all, if they didn't know the inside information, what Golden Core Real Person could resist the temptation of a Nascent Soul Cave Abode?

They felt it must be that Leng Yuexi knew the trickery behind this Nascent Soul Cave Abode, which is why they made such a choice.

"Shut up, is this something you can just talk about randomly?"

"This time, the Cave Abode of Xueying Laozu trapped and killed so many Golden Core Real Persons and so many Jin Dan Powers."

"If they find an excuse to say that this matter was a trap set by our Xianxia Sect, I fear they will all come knocking on our door one by one."

"All of you, shut your mouths."

"This matter has nothing to do with our Xianxia Sect; we are also victims, do you understand?"

Peak Master of Danyao Peak Ma Qianjun said with a very serious expression, staring at the many Xianxia Sect Cultivators.

"Yes, Peak Master."

Hearing this, the many Xianxia Sect Cultivators all nodded.

They also knew the severity of this matter, so naturally, they would not speak carelessly.

After all, too many Golden Core Real Persons fell this time, and other powers suffered heavy losses.

If idle gossip appeared at this time, pointing the finger at the Xianxia Sect, I fear the Xianxia Sect would become the target of public criticism.

At that time, the Xianxia Sect might not be able to withstand the pressure of so many Jin Dan Powers.

"But Peak Master, what about that ruin sealing the demon?"

"I see that the demon seems to be about to break free."

"Once it runs out from the seal, our Xianxia Sect might not be able to stop it."

A Foundation Establishment Elder was deeply worried.

Compared to the potential threat of Jin Dan Powers, they felt the threat of that demon was even greater.

After all, that demon is practically right on their doorstep, and no one knows when it will break free.

Once it breaks free, they will likely be in trouble.

Because the mountain gate of the Xianxia Sect is right in this location and cannot be relocated at all.

"Rest assured, there shouldn't be any trouble in the short term."

"It is not such a simple matter for that demon to break free from the seal."

"Moreover, it has been sealed for three thousand years, so its strength must have weakened significantly."

"It will not pose a threat to us in the short term."

Danyao Peak Peak Master Ma Qianjun consoled them.

Hearing this, many Xianxia Sect Cultivators immediately felt much more at ease.

…………

At this very moment, inside Xianxia Peak.

Leng Yuexi, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, Xia Jingyan, and Zhou Sui naturally also learned about what happened at the Cave Abode of Xueying Laozu; with Zhou Sui, who had experienced it firsthand, they knew the details even more thoroughly.

"Husband, you said that the demon sealed inside is extremely dangerous, possessing at least the strength of a Nascent Soul?"

Leng Yuexi asked with a very serious expression.

After all, a demon at the Nascent Soul level is simply too terrifying and is enough to sweep across the entire Xianxia Island.

"That is correct."

Zhou Sui nodded: "Although my clone only sensed it from afar, I know its strength is not something an ordinary Golden Core Real Person can compare to; it must be comparable to a Nascent Soul Ancestor."

"But to move the entire sect, isn't that a bit too exaggerated?"

Leng Yuexi said with some hesitation.

This was the point where she felt hesitant; when Zhou Sui learned that the Nascent Soul Cave Abode was a place sealing the demon Blood Demon Tree, he immediately felt a strong sense of crisis.

Because the Xianxia Sect is simply too close to that Blood Demon Tree.

If they are not careful, the entire sect will be annihilated.

As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

He naturally did not want to stay in this extremely dangerous place and wanted to run away immediately, far from this Blood Demon Tree.
