213. Chapter 210: Conspiracy Emerges

The stronger their strength, the more magic power beads they would produce. The more magic power beads produced, the shorter the time Pan Huang would take to refine the Heavenly Dao Mark. This was indeed a mutually complementary matter. Coming to this Mountain-Reliance Sect was truly the right choice.

Just like that, the entire Mountain-Reliance Sect fell into absolute enlightenment, and even the disciples at the mountain gate went into enlightenment.

As for whether anyone would take this opportunity to attack the Mountain-Reliance Sect, there was no need to worry about that; the array within the Mountain of Delusion was not something ordinary people could break.

Besides, Pan Huang had just given them a show of force, so they really didn't dare to attack the Mountain-Reliance Sect at the moment.

Just like that, a year passed. During this year, not a single disciple of the Mountain-Reliance Sect went out to train in the God-Desolate World. Those sect forces all knew what the situation was.

It was nothing more than entering seclusion and cultivating. After all, the Mountain-Reliance Sect hadn't had a 'mountain' for a hundred years; they should have accumulated quite a few magic power beads.

"Everyone, share your thoughts." In a relatively hidden corner, dozens of people hiding their figures in black robes were sitting together.

From the occasionally moving hands, one could vaguely see some sect force logos. It seemed these people were from those sect forces in the west of the God-Desolate World, just not knowing what they were gathering together to do.

"At present, we simply have no way to break through the array of the Mountain of Delusion, so we have no way to capture or kill the people of the Mountain-Reliance Sect."

"We have actually fallen into a misunderstanding." At this moment, someone suddenly said.

"Let's hear it!" The leading black-robed person said indifferently.

"We indeed have no way to attack the Mountain of Delusion, but the people of the Mountain-Reliance Sect aren't staying up there forever. In the past, we only thought about attacking the Mountain-Reliance Sect, but in reality, any sect relies on its disciples. If a sect has no disciples, is it still a complete sect?" The person who spoke just now said with a smile.

"But..."

"There are no 'buts'. We are sitting here today to solve the trouble of the Mountain-Reliance Sect. Think about five hundred years ago, think about a thousand years ago, think about three thousand years ago. Since the Mountain-Reliance Sect took root in this west of the God-Desolate World, what good days have we had? Our only good days have been these past hundred years or so. Why? Because the Mountain-Reliance Sect had no Mountain-Reliance Ancestor, because the Mountain-Reliance Sect declined. But now, the rise of the Mountain-Reliance Sect is unstoppable. If we don't unite again, the Blood-Refining Sect will be our fate." The leading black-robed person interrupted the person who wanted to speak and said indifferently.

"Let's do it!" Suddenly, a burly black-robed person slapped the table and stood up.

With someone taking the lead, the others hesitated for a few breaths and then agreed to the plan: to launch a hunt against the disciples of the Mountain-Reliance Sect.

As long as the disciples of the Mountain-Reliance Sect were killed, the Mountain-Reliance Sect would be nothing to worry about.

But they forgot one thing, and that was Pan Huang. As the Mountain-Reliance Ancestor, Pan Huang would not let such things spread. If similar things happened, Pan Huang would definitely take some countermeasures, and then those sects would be the ones in trouble.

Another three years passed. The disciples of the Mountain-Reliance Sect with weaker strength were the first to wake up from enlightenment. Feeling that others were still in seclusion, these disciples very consciously began to clean the sect. After a day of labor by dozens of disciples, the Mountain-Reliance Sect was cleaned until it was spotless.

Afterward, they took the initiative to start patrolling within the sect and would occasionally enter the Mountain of Delusion to check if anyone had come to break the array.

In the past, there had been people who came to break the array after they entered seclusion, and by the time they discovered them, the people were already dead in the array. If they encountered such a situation, they would dispose of them.

In the blink of an eye, Pan Huang had been in the God-Desolate World for ten years. During these ten years, the disciples of the Mountain-Reliance Sect had come out of seclusion one after another, and the originally cold sect instantly became lively.

During these ten years, Pan Huang had also exhausted the magic power beads Jiang Hao gave him. Actually, after Jiang Hao and the others came out of seclusion, they sent the second batch of magic power beads from seclusion, but Pan Huang didn't use them.

Because he wanted to go out for a walk to see what was different about this world. If he could fish out some good things from this world, it wouldn't be in vain that he came to this world once!

"I'm preparing to go out for a walk. If any major event happens to the Mountain-Reliance Sect, you can just crush this jade pendant, and I will return immediately." Pan Huang said to Jiang Hao.

"This is the spatial node coordinate for summoning evil spirits, which can summon evil spirits from the Soul-Lost Canyon to help you fight." For the sake of insurance, Pan Huang split off another spatial node so that even if he couldn't make it back in time, the Mountain-Reliance Sect would have the strength to fight when facing a strong enemy.

After doing all this, Pan Huang walked out of the Mountain-Reliance Sect.

After walking out of the Mountain-Reliance Sect, Pan Huang didn't go to other places, but first came to the Soul-Lost Canyon. He was quite curious about this place; he wanted to see why there could be so many evil spirits here, and at the same time, he wanted to understand the reincarnation system of this world through this place.

"Master!" After arriving at the Soul-Lost Canyon, Xie Yu came to Pan Huang's side immediately.

"How is the task progressing?" Pan Huang asked after seeing Xie Yu.

"Master, two-thirds of the Soul-Lost Canyon area has been occupied by us. We have also subdued most of the Beast Spirit Clan, and the Wood Spirit Clan is no longer a threat. Give this subordinate another year, and the Soul-Lost Canyon will become your backyard, Master." Xie Yu said hurriedly.

"Mm!" Pan Huang nodded.

"You go do your work; don't worry about me. I'll just look around here." Pan Huang waved his hand to let Xie Yu leave.

"Yes, Master!" Xie Yu nodded and then left.

After Xie Yu left, Pan Huang wandered around the evil spirit's base camp. Because of Xie Yu, all the evil spirits would kneel to show their respect and submission to Pan Huang when they saw him.

Soon, Pan Huang sensed an energy fluctuation. This energy fluctuation was somewhat strange, so he immediately changed direction and walked toward that place.

Before long, Pan Huang stopped in front of a mountain crevice. That strange energy fluctuation was coming from this mountain crevice, and at this moment, there were a large number of evil spirits guarding this crevice.

But when they saw Pan Huang, they all knelt down in unison. If someone else came here, they would definitely be attacked by the evil spirits, but Pan Huang would not.

Walking into the mountain crevice, the energy intensity increased sharply, which made Pan Huang narrow his eyes: "I didn't expect this stone to not be an ordinary stone either; it actually has the effect of isolating energy."

Pan Huang touched the stone wall beside him and muttered to himself.

The mountain crevice was very long. Pan Huang felt as if he had walked for almost an incense stick's time before reaching the end of the crevice.

The space at the end of the crevice was not large, only about the size of a room. Here, Pan Huang saw a gray-white vortex, and the energy from just now was radiating from this vortex.

Just as Pan Huang was about to step forward to take a closer look, a soul was actually thrown out from this vortex.

After this soul was thrown out, the spiritual energy belonging to the God-Desolate World immediately surged into its body. In just a few breaths, this pure soul was no longer pure.

Immediately afterward, two evil spirits walked out from the dark. They bowed to Pan Huang and then took the newborn soul away.

"Is this the way evil spirits are born? I'm even more curious about the other side of the vortex now." Pan Huang grinned.

After speaking, Pan Huang erected a protective barrier on the surface of his body and then walked directly into this vortex.

When he first touched the vortex, there was a resistance, but this resistance had no effect on Pan Huang at all. In just a few breaths, he broke through this layer of resistance and reached the other side of the vortex.

The other side of the vortex passage was a world very similar to the Primordial Underworld, and the aura here was also very similar to the aura of the Underworld.

But it was not as lively as the Primordial Underworld here; it gave people a feeling of being dead and silent. Although the place of reincarnation is inherently dead and silent, there are various screams, various curses, and various cries and pleas for mercy mixed in the Primordial Underworld, while here, there was no sound at all. This was why Pan Huang felt it was dead and silent here.

"Is this the place of reincarnation of the God-Desolate World?" Looking at the environment before him, Pan Huang muttered to himself.

Just as Pan Huang entered the place of reincarnation, the sects in the west of the God-Desolate World were already prepared to intercept the disciples of the Mountain-Reliance Sect.

And they had been waiting for a long time. They had started preparing when the Mountain-Reliance Sect began to enter seclusion. Now that the Mountain-Reliance Sect had come out of seclusion and disciples of the Mountain-Reliance Sect had started to go down the mountain to train, these sects knew the time was ripe.

"Let our Armor-Clad Gate take the first wave; we'll set an example for everyone." The burly men of the Armor-Clad Gate said in a muffled voice.

"Good!" Everyone nodded.

In reality, none of them wanted to be this scapegoat. Once they became this scapegoat, they would definitely be targeted by the Mountain-Reliance Sect once discovered. Fortunately, the Armor-Clad Gate stood out, which prevented everyone from being too awkward.

"Then it's left to you!" The master of the Flying Snow Valley looked at the people of the Armor-Clad Gate and said.

"I hope you can also abide by the original agreement." The master of the Armor-Clad Gate looked at the masters and said in a deep voice.

"Rest assured! We won't forget. Now our biggest enemy is the Mountain-Reliance Sect. Before the Mountain-Reliance Sect is solved, we won't have internal strife." The master of the Flying Snow Valley said to the master of the Armor-Clad Gate.

"Good!" The master of the Armor-Clad Gate nodded.

On the other side, because the disciples of the Mountain-Reliance Sect had the Mountain-Reliance Ancestor and had entered seclusion for a few more years, the disciples of the Mountain-Reliance Sect now appeared in the public eye again.

But what they didn't know was that they had already been targeted.

This day, a group of four disciples of the Mountain-Reliance Sect had just come out of a market when they felt they had been targeted.

"Someone is targeting us." The leading disciple of the Mountain-Reliance Sect transmitted to his companions.

"Don't look, don't act differently." Seeing his fellow disciples wanting to look back, the captain said hurriedly.

"Senior Brother, what should we do now?"

"Lead them to a remote place, then see who it is."

"Good!" The disciples nodded.

Afterward, they began to walk toward some remote places intentionally or unintentionally, and the people behind them followed closely.

Soon, the disciples of the Mountain-Reliance Sect vanished into a dense forest. After entering the dense forest, they immediately restrained their aura and hid.

Before long, several burly men followed their tracks and ran into the dense forest. Seeing that the disciples of the Mountain-Reliance Sect had vanished, expressions of annoyance appeared on their faces.

"Armor-Clad Gate? Why would they follow us?" The leading disciple of the Mountain-Reliance Sect frowned, and doubt began to arise in his heart.

"Why would the people of the Armor-Clad Gate target us? We don't seem to have any dealings with the Armor-Clad Gate, right?" The leading Senior Brother frowned, feeling very confused in his heart.

The people of the Armor-Clad Gate searched in the dense forest for a long time but didn't find the tracks of the Mountain-Reliance Sect disciples. Afterward, they damaged the dense forest and then left.

"Don't go out yet!" After the people of the Armor-Clad Gate left, the disciples of the Mountain-Reliance Sect wanted to come out from the dark, but were stopped by the leading Senior Brother.

A dozen breaths later, the people of the Armor-Clad Gate came to the dense forest again, but they still didn't see the people they wanted to see, and in the end, they could only leave dejectedly.

"Let's go, return to the sect!" After the people of the Armor-Clad Gate left, the leading Senior Brother called out his fellow disciples and then headed straight for the sect.

Below the Mountain of Delusion, they met another wave of returning fellow disciples. Their expressions were the same as theirs, very anxious and hurried. After the two sides met, their brows immediately frowned.

"You encountered them too?" One of them asked.

"Mm! You encountered them too?"

"Mm, we encountered them too."

"It seems this matter is not simple. Let's hurry and report to the Sect Master."

"Good!"

While speaking, the two groups returned to the Mountain-Reliance Sect together. After entering the Mountain-Reliance Sect, the two of them headed straight for the deliberation hall.

After arriving at the deliberation hall, Jiang Hao and the elders were all there. Seeing the two enter, they attracted everyone's attention.

"Is there something you have come here for?" Jiang Hao looked at the two disciples and asked.

"Sect Master, we have an important matter to report!"

Afterward, the two of them told their encounters one after another. Hearing the words of these two disciples, Jiang Hao and the elders immediately frowned.

"You mean you were followed by other sect forces?"

"You go down first; we know." The two disciples wanted to say something else, but the Great Elder waved his hand to let them leave.

"Sect Master, this matter actually doesn't need us to think too much. This must be a conspiracy of those sect forces." After the two disciples left, the Great Elder looked at Jiang Hao and said.

"That's right, they can't attack our Mountain-Reliance Sect, so they set their target on the disciples of our Mountain-Reliance Sect." The Second Elder also said.

"Let's leave this matter for now. Great Elder, send the Law Enforcement Team out to gather intelligence. Once the matter is confirmed, I will naturally inform the Ancestor." Jiang Hao looked at the elders and said.

"Good!" The elders nodded.

Afterward, they dispersed. After everyone left, Jiang Hao looked into the distance, an inexplicable look flashing in his eyes: "Since you have already made your move, then our Mountain-Reliance Sect will no longer give you any face. Once this matter is verified, it will be the time for your destruction." (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 214 =====
