Chapter 161: Ye Xuan’s Ingenious Plan

Everyone was somewhat silent. The scene just now had undoubtedly brought a huge blow to them. Their already small number of people had been reduced by a lot because of the casualties earlier.

As the ancient door disappeared, there was no more movement.

“The people outside will think of a way to save us, right?” someone said uncertainly. There was a sense of despair in his voice that he himself didn’t notice.

The deathly silence spread endlessly. Everyone’s heart felt heavy. The other sects looked at those from the Yaochi Holy Land, the Dao Seeking Sect, and the Heaven Sect.

“You guys aren’t from the Seven Great Sects, so why don’t you quickly think of a solution and say something?”

They were like drowning people who wanted to grab onto the last straw. However, no one could do anything now.

Facing the silence of the big sects, everyone’s mood was extremely low.

“Are we really going to die here? I don’t want to die yet.”

Someone gave up on himself, “Forget it. The sect masters and grand elders of the major sects guard the outside world. If there was a way, they would have gotten us out immediately. Why would they wait until now?”

The door had only existed for such a short time, which showed how powerful the black fog was.

As time passed, everyone stared at the sky above them, hoping that someone would fall from the sky. However, all they saw was the black fog getting thicker and thicker.

Even the disciples of the Heaven Sect and the Dao Seeking Sect were panicking.

“Is master really going to abandon us?”

“Impossible. The most talented disciples of the sect are all here. If we all die, I’m afraid the sect will suffer a great loss.”

Almost all of the disciples present were the most talented and powerful in the sect. They could be said to be the future pillars of the sect. Those people outside would definitely not sit back and watch.

Even the core disciples of the Seven Great Sects were there. Since it was impossible for the sects to intentionally leave them to die, the current situation only proved that they were also helpless.

Kacha!

An additional crack formed on the array, undoubtedly making everyone’s situation worse.

“I’m afraid this formation won’t last long.”

The black Qi outside was almost omnipresent. Once the array lost its effect, they would be completely exposed to it and not end up well.

There was almost no hope of survival.

In the face of death, everyone was the same. Even those with strong cultivation were no exception. The disciples had already revealed sorrowful expressions, and some even fell to the ground and cried.

The only ones who were still calm were probably Ye Xuan and the people from the Sword Sect.

However, a divine sense came into Ye Xuan’s mind, bringing important news. It was the Penglai Immortal Beasts.

In the original underground palace, there was actually a teleportation array that could directly reach the outside.

Ye Xuan suddenly had an idea. Although this method was risky, he could try it. It was better than sitting around and waiting for death.

“Everyone, I know there’s an exit in the secret realm that leads directly to the outside. ”

Upon hearing that, the dispirited crowd suddenly perked up. “What did you say? And the teleportation array, where is it? Why didn’t you tell us earlier?”

“It’s right below the pit.”

They had thought that there was hope, but it turned out to be a dead end. Everyone once again became dejected.

“The black fog comes from the pit. Its main body is there, so that can be said to be its lair. And the teleportation array you spoke of is at the same place. Aren’t you asking us to court our own deaths?”

Saying the idea was equivalent to not saying it, it was completely useless.

The previous Floating Cloud Palace was a good example, not to mention that the exit this time was even more outrageous, It was actually in the enemy’s base camp.

However, Ye Xuan had his own considerations.

“As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is also the safest place. If the black fog covers the entire secret plane and searches for us, then their lair might be relatively safe.”

Ye Xuan had found it strange earlier. Since he had ruined the mastermind’s thousand-year plan, the mastermind should hate him to the bone. And with his strength, not only could the mastermind turn the Penglai Immortal Beasts into immortal monsters, but even the disciples would not be able to escape from his claws. Yet, despite being so heaven-defying, why didn’t he deal with Ye Xuan himself?

Then there was only one possibility, and that was that the mastermind was under some kind of restriction. Although Ye Xuan didn’t know the reason, it was beneficial to him.

Otherwise, a monster that had lived for a thousand years would be able to kill him in one breath.

The others didn’t believe Ye Xuan’s words.

“That’s just your theory. The Floating Cloud Palace is a good example. We are not fools, how can we follow you to die?”

Going deep into the enemy’s lair was even more dangerous than what happened at the Floating Cloud Palace, and the consequence of failure was death. The disciples were so scared that they did not dare to take the risk.

It was impossible for Ye Xuan to tell everyone about his animosity with the black Qi and tell them that he wasn’t blindly courting death, but that he had a certain degree of confidence.

Moreover, if he really had no other choice, he would ask the Penglai Immortal Beasts to come out and help.

“If you guys aren’t going, we’ll go!”

Unexpectedly, Shen Changling was the first to speak up. “I think what Elder Ye Xuan said makes sense.”

The disciples of the Swords Sect behind him also responded. “Rather than sitting here and waiting for death and placing our hopes on the outside, we might as well think of a way.”

Shen Changling believed that Ye Xuan wouldn’t do something he wasn’t confident in. He must have his own reasons for saying what he said, not to mention that the array wouldn’t be able to protect everyone for long.

Once they were completely exposed, the black Qi would devour them, leaving not even their bones behind. It was better to take a gamble.

Seeing that all the people from the Sword Sect had joined in, the remaining people fell silent. Then, a few more people here and there stood up one after another to join in.
