The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 951 - 298: To Hell With Shutting the Gates, We’re All Going to Die!

Chapter 951: Chapter 298: To Hell With Shutting the Gates, We’re All Going to Die!

A heavy feeling settled in everyone’s hearts.

The speed of infection of this dried corpse far exceeded imagination. If Lei Wuji still retained his consciousness and could fully control it, a single surprise attack could spread like a plague across the Eastern Domain.

"Perhaps..." Mo Xingjian suddenly spoke, a hint of an unusual color flashing in his eyes.

"The plan set up by Master Yuheng and the others back then inadvertently allowed him to open up an evil path, just like... Master."

Everyone turned to Mo Xingjian.

Canglong Taoist, as the former Sect Leader, clearly hadn’t even broken through to the late stage of Divinity Transformation Realm before his life span was exhausted, leading to his seated meditation. They even buried him with their own hands.

But what was the result?

He appeared in the first coffin, suddenly breaking through to the Spirit Severing Realm, becoming a generation of Ghost Emperor.

So why couldn’t Lei Wuji also follow this evil path and become a Corpse Emperor?

Thinking of this, everyone felt their hair stand on end!

Cao Zhengyang’s gaze was stern, and he did not speak further.

Instead, he raised his hand and waved, causing a Spiritual Fire to suddenly ignite, engulfing the two mutated cultivators. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

In the flames, their bodies twisted violently, black blood evaporating, a foul stench spreading until finally transforming into two charred remains.

"Ever since those six sects were annihilated, no other sect has suffered a disaster."

Cao Zhengyang slowly turned, his gaze sweeping sharply over everyone present: "What do you think... Lei Wuji is secretly plotting?"

Everyone remained silent.

"Such terrifying infectiousness yet so appropriately restrained, there is only one explanation," Duanmu Shu suddenly spoke, her voice cold as frost.

Seeing the others looking at her, she continued: "He can’t fully control those mutated dried corpses yet, so he must proceed slowly."

This hypothesis made everyone nod in agreement.

Indeed, if one could not control them, one would surely only bring disaster upon oneself.

Mo Xingjian thoughtfully added: "It’s worth noting that the numbers of those from the annihilated sects, from top to bottom, are hardly different from the records."

His eyes flashed with a keen light, "In other words, I actually think Lei Wuji is doing what he has for now, he hasn’t prepared to start a large-scale infection."

"A person’s Divine Thought is ultimately limited," Mo Xingjian continued to analyze, "If I were him, I would certainly first control a few Divinity Transformation Realm cultivators, then let them control Nascent Souls, and Nascent Souls control Golden Cores..."

Mo Xingjian made a gesture of layers progressing, "Just like border guards, forming a tight control system."

Everyone agreed with this speculation.

Cao Zhengyang immediately made a decision: "Order! From today, Divinity Transformation Realm cultivators must travel with no fewer than three, Nascent Soul Realm with ten companions, and below Golden Core Realm, forbidden to act alone!"

His eyes like lightning, "If Mo was right, Lei Wuji would never easily use his own Divinity Transformation Realm but would first infect powerful figures of outer sects."

"Also," Cao Zhengyang turned to Tong Min, "let the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect use the spies they planted in the Golden Thunder Sect to see if there are any clues!"

"Yes!" Tong Min and Mo Xingjian responded in unison.

Cao Zhengyang suddenly remembered something, frowned tightly: "Keep an eye on Sikong Yan, he likely knows about the Heart’s Blood issue."

"But ever since Dubhe and Master Lingxu were imprisoned here, I gave him the opportunity, yet he remained inactive. Is it that he doesn’t worry at all, or does he have another agenda?"

...

After Gao Xuan came out of the dungeon, he looked at Cao Zhengyang and Mo Xingjian beside him, wanting to speak but stopped.

He wanted to find out what was captured in the Imaging Stone brought by Qi Sheng from Wu Sha.

But with the sect facing various pressing matters, they hadn’t proactively mentioned this to him.

"I still have to personally visit the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect!" Cao Zhengyang glanced subtly at Gao Xuan, then turned into a stream of light and left.

After a brief hesitation, Gao Xuan directed his gaze to Mo Xingjian.

Mo Xingjian suddenly slapped his thigh: "Look at me, how did I forget such an important thing? I must hurry to Phecda Sect as well."

Before he finished speaking, he had already disappeared from where he stood.

Leaving Gao Xuan standing alone.

I mean, if you’re not going to say anything, then why call me here?

Just to learn about Sikong Yan’s Heart’s Blood issue?

...

Border!

Outside Great Demon Mountain, at Black Feather Peak!

Flood Dragon Emperor, Xuan Qiu, walked back and forth anxiously at his original place, clearly very uneasy.

He used to think that the Spirit Severing Realm was already among those standing at the top of the pyramid, with hardly anyone truly capable of threatening their lives.

Moreover, they all followed an unspoken rule with great tacit understanding: without significant grudges, they wouldn’t easily battle to the death.

Even if they did fight, it was mostly controlled.

Just like during the struggle over Spider Emperor’s territory recently, the Demon Emperors tested each other and eventually made concessions.

Even his old adversary Xuanyuan Shuo has maintained a delicate balance, well water never meddling with river water.

But now, this balance is being disturbed and in a manner that leaves him terrified.

Spider Emperor, Ye Luo, was crushed with a single finger by that silver-haired woman before his very eyes, forcing him to abandon his long-established lair and choose to move.

And Tiger Venerable, Red Evil, who joined the fun not long ago.

Left injured by Peng Emperor’s strike yet unexpectedly perished in a mountain range several thousand miles from the Thousand Illusions Cave.

More terrifying is that the entire process went unnoticed until his subordinates discovered the anomaly in that region, prompting him to later investigate.

And the remnants of the scene all pointed unmistakably to Xuanyuan Shuo!

"This insidious wretch!" Xuan Qiu gritted his teeth, anger surging in his heart.

No wonder Xuanyuan Shuo never showed up during the Spider Emperor territory dispute.
