Chapter 166: No Need to Search, I

About thirty Nether Sect cultivators with powerful auras stared at the ground with solemn expressions.

Zong Yu furrowed his brows and said, "It has been three days and three nights; why is the Ancestor showing no movement? The situation is a bit wrong."

"The Ancestor told us not to approach this place; he is about to break through to the Great Vehicle Stage and fears the lightning tribulation will drag us in."

"But the Ancestor said the celestial phenomena would appear in two days at most. What is going on?"

Ming Lengye's expression was solemn: "Yes, we came down after waiting for three days, and we have been here for over two days now. There is still no movement; there must have been an accident."

"Should we go down and take a look?"

Black light flickered in Ming Zhentian's pitch-black eyes: "But if the Ancestor were in any unexpected situation, he would certainly notify us."

"Advancing to the Great Vehicle Stage is not that easy. You all know that in seclusion, a month can pass in the blink of an eye."

"Perhaps the Ancestor is brewing a powerful technique."

He was a Supreme Elder of Kulu Zong, and his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Void Refinement Stage.

He planned to break through only after Zong Tianling broke through to the Great Vehicle Stage.

Yet Zong Tianling showed no movement, which made him feel a faint sense of unease.

But just then, someone rushed in in a panic: "It's bad, something major has happened!"

The person who entered had rushed over from the Tianling Sect, specifically to deliver a message.

Zong Yu immediately barked: "Speak!"

The messenger bowed to Zong Yu, covered in sweat: "Sect Master, I sent a message to the Sect Master three days ago to inform you, but unfortunately, the information could not be delivered."

"I had to come personally to deliver the message; please do not blame me, Sect Master!"

Upon hearing this, Zong Yu's face changed: "What did you say?"

"The information didn't get through? How is that possible? Our Kuloudian has no restrictions set up, and my communication bead is also active. How could it not get through?"

Not only him, but the others also had their expressions change.

Whoosh!

Ming Zhentian flew to the top level of the Skull Main Hall and reached out to take down a gray talisman from the top: "This is a sealing talisman. Information from here cannot be sent out, and information from outside cannot be transmitted in."

He landed on the ground: "So many of us have been here for three days without noticing; it is truly shameful!"

He knew it was their own negligence; they had kept their attention on what was below and had not paid attention to what was above.

Once these words were spoken, the expressions of the crowd suddenly became solemn.

Did someone quietly place the talisman, or was it there before they arrived?

They released their Divine Sense one after another to investigate and indeed discovered two more sealing talismans.

This type of sealing talisman only prevents people outside from probing in; it does not prevent people inside from probing out.

It was a somewhat sophisticated talisman.

"Speak quickly, what happened?"

Ming Zhentian barked.

With Zong Tianling absent, he was the highest-ranking commander here.

The messenger fell to his knees with a thud: "Ancestor Tianling's soul lamp has extinguished!"

"The Sect Master was not in the sect, and I sent messages several times, but none could get through!"

"The Sect Master warned me not to approach the main hall lightly, so I did not dare to enter, but just now..."

Before he could finish, he was hoisted up by Zong Yu like a chick: "What did you say?"

"Ancestor Tianling's soul lamp has extinguished?"

He slapped the messenger twice across the face: "When did this happen?"

"Three days ago!"

Crack!

Zong Yu snapped the man's neck directly: "To not come in and report such an important matter, leaving us waiting here for three days—damn you!"

At this moment, the expressions of the crowd changed drastically.

"That means when we arrived, Ancestor Tianling's soul lamp had already extinguished. Ancestor Tianling must have encountered some mishap!"

"It must be! Someone snuck into our Kulu Zong, set up restrictions on the main hall, and then snuck into the Demon Cave to interfere with the Ancestor's advancement. The Ancestor was disturbed at the critical moment of his breakthrough..."

"This person is so bold! To actually break into our Kulu Zong; it seems they heard Ancestor Tianling was about to break through and feared the Ancestor would affect them after he succeeded."

"This person must still be down there; let us go down now and capture them!"

At this moment, they all understood.

Ming Zhentian nodded: "It should be so!"

"But there is an important question: who knew there was a Demon Cave beneath Kulu Zong? If this person spreads the news, wouldn't our Nether Three Sects face a siege?"

Once these words were spoken, everyone shuddered.

Zong Yu said: "This person dared to go in, so they must have made full preparations. Perhaps they will use this to blackmail us!"

"It also cannot be ruled out that someone inside leaked the news!"

Ming Zhentian nodded: "Indeed, someone must have leaked the news, definitely!"

"But it is too late to investigate now. Zong Yu, I will leave half the people here for you; the rest will come down with me to capture that person."

His entire body was filled with murderous intent: "I want to see who is so bold as to break into the restricted area of our Kulu Zong!"

He immediately cast a spell, intending to enter the underground.

But just then, a leisurely voice rang out: "No need to go down, I have come!"

The voice echoed in the main hall, making everyone jump.

They looked up one after another and saw a young man floating in the air.

This person was dressed in green, handsome and ethereal, with a half-smile on his face, looking down at the crowd from above.

"It is good that you have all come; it saves me from having to look for you everywhere."

"You Nether Sect members practice Demon Art and have actually hidden a Demon Cave underground; since I have discovered it, how could I sit idly by!"

"Will you surrender and obediently hand over your storage rings, or shall I do it myself, beat you all to death, and take them from your hands?"

Lu Tianyu said indifferently, looking at the crowd with amusement.

After he refined and devoured the Magic Bone, he intended to take Cui Jinjia to destroy the Nether Sect.

But he did not expect that the high-level members of the Nether Three Sects were all here, which saved him from having to go look for them.

"Brat, so it was you!"

Zong Yu gritted his teeth: "Last time you used the name of that bitch Gui Sheng Xie Yi to make us suffer a great loss, and you still dare to come to our door!"

"Since you have come, don't even think about leaving!"

Hum!

A sharp murderous aura erupted from his body.

Hum, hum, hum!

The crowd released their auras one after another, and a dense murderous intent locked onto Lu Tianyu like a tide.

They did not make a move immediately because they were searching all around to see if there were any traces of Gui Sheng Xie Yi or other sect cultivators.

This brat is no fool; he certainly would not have broken into the Nether Sect alone, he must have other helpers.

But they searched several times and did not discover the trace of any cultivators.

This made them even more nervous.

Not finding anyone meant the helpers were very powerful, so powerful that they could not detect them at all.

Ming Lengye said coldly: "Brat, don't think I don't know that you came here alone because you want to use the Demon Cave to threaten us!"
