As he made his way down, Wen Jiu noticed that quite a few disciples closely related to Deadman Peak elders were heading toward the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss.
It was evident.
Everyone was drawn by the sound that pierced through the magic array within the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss.
However, Wen Jiu didn't recognize any of them.
"Junior brother!"
Just as he was descending the mountain, a voice suddenly ca from behind.
It was Senior Brother Li Mu.
"Senior brother."
Wen Jiu paused in his steps.
"You're only at Qi Cultivation Third Layer, don't go and join the commotion." Li Mu reminded him, perceiving that sothing significant must have happened in the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, as ordinary sounds couldn't penetrate its magic array.
He also sensed a slight tremor from the abyss below, a result of its collapse.
"I'm worried about Master there..."
Li Mu interrupted, "It's a matter of safety; you must not approach, no matter what. Rest assured, I will convey your concerns."
With that,
Li Mu quickly departed.
After hesitating for a few breaths, Wen Jiu ultimately decided not to follow.
He initially intended to descend into the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss for another purpose—to show his face and prove his absence from the scene.
Considering the anger descending from the True Spirit Divine Tree and True Spirit Demons, he didn't believe the Great Elder and others were oblivious to the presence below the abyss. Yet the number of those with the Array Order on Deadman Peak was few, and only he was alone outside.
Now with Senior Brother Li Mu as a witness, there was no urgency for him to go. Sending the Healing Elixir later would suffice.
anwhile.
More disciples were drawing closer to the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss.
But all were blocked five miles away by the Spirit Suppression Departnt, including Li Mu. This made all the arriving disciples realize the gravity of the situation, since the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss is significant and adjacent to Deadman Peak. If anything happened…
"Those who trespass will be dealt with as traitors!"
Seeing more people and so even trying to push through, Moqiu could only speak sternly in anger, pulling out the Spirit Suppression Departnt Elder Order.
Abruptly, a fierce killing intent erged, scaring the disciples of Deadman Peak, forcing them back several steps.
The other disciples from the Spirit Suppression Departnt all followed suit.
Yet, in truth, Moqiu and the others were extrely anxious inside, because as mbers of the Spirit Suppression Departnt, they were more inford about the situation than other disciples and knew what would befall Deadman Peak if the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss encountered a problem.
But duty-bound,
They could not retreat a single step.
At this mont, the tremor from the collapse of the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss grew stronger, bypassing even the magic array.
Even five miles away.
The tremor was still intense.
This made the faces of the disciples begin to show signs of anxiety.
"Could it be the demons imprisoned within the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss..."
"Impossible, if it's the demons from within the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, then it's troubleso."
Even those unaware of the True Spirit Demon Race knew of the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss and its longstanding existence.
Over the years, it had beco increasingly mysterious, so most disciples believed there surely were formidable demons imprisoned there.
Once released, they might even obliterate Deadman Peak.
Thinking this increased everyone's anxiety.
Those aware of the True Spirit Demon Race were even more worried, understanding the terror they posed, just like the mbers of the Spirit Suppression Departnt.
"Fellow Daoist Mo."
Li Mu attempted to approach to inquire.
"Li Hall."
Moqiu and the others hastily bowed in greeting.
Facing other disciples, they could use force and sect rules to repel them, but they couldn't do so with Li Mu.
Li Mu was the Vice Hall Master of the Inspection Hall and the direct disciple of Elder Ye.
Yet, just as Moqiu, eager and helpless, tried explaining his inability to inform, Li Mu didn't press further. Instead, he ordered the disciples of the Inspection Hall to clear the area imdiately and retreat the increasingly gathered disciples.
Though Li Mu managed to disperse the crowd with the Inspection Hall mbers, the concerns of Deadman Peak's disciples remained.
After all, it involved the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss.
At this mont,
The anomaly of the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss began to spread wildly within Deadman Peak.
From one to ten, and ten to a hundred.
The relatively calm atmosphere on Deadman Peak gradually turned uneasy and heavy from this mont.
Further exacerbated by the chaos of the Celestial Left Alliance and the frequent ergence of traitors in the side peak, as well as demons ravaging the Cultivation Realm of Deadman Peak from Blood Demon Abyss.
Thus instigating panic.
...
At the sa ti,
The elders gathered a hundred feet from the abyss entrance, swallowing Healing Elixir Pills while keeping a close watch on the abyss.
Elder Wu Xiu endured his injuries, gathering five Yin Spirits once again, swiftly rushing into the abyss.
"The dispersal speed of the True Spirit Divine Tree keeps accelerating."
"But the True Spirit Demons below the abyss have all detached from the Sacrificial Technique, consuming True Spirit Essence Blood to restore their strength."
"They are regaining strength quickly, and the cost of the demon bodies' collapse fills them with extre anger. Who is the mysterious person down below doing this?"
"They're coming up... No, they're devouring the True Spirit Divine Tree that hasn't completely dissipated."
Upon hearing these words, all elders looked toward the Eastern Celestial City.
Should they retreat?
Should they fight?
They awaited an order.
Eastern Celestial City quickly asked, "How about the Tier Two True Spirit Demon?"
"Its aura has completely vanished."
Wu Xiu responded.
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Once the Tier Two True Spirit Demon was thoroughly dead, and the True Spirit Divine Tree followed in dispersion, the troubles of the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss were considered completely resolved.
Perhaps they could enjoy peace for several decades.
Even a hundred years.
"Everyone, evacuate the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss!" Eastern Celestial City imdiately ordered, as the True Spirit Demons below were all Tier One Superior.
If they all ascended, these people would not even fill the gap of a tooth.
Although everyone quickly left, Wu Xiu remained, continuing to monitor the True Spirit Divine Tree with his Yin Spirits.
