490 Returning to Lanjiang City

“If that’s the case, then there’s no need for you to live.”

Seeing that the old man refused to speak, Gu Xi did not continue to ask. He squeezed the old man’s shoulder again and the old man only felt a huge force, and then half of his body was torn in half by Gu Xi.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and the old man’s life ended in an instant. He had not even had the slightest room to resist before he was easily finished off.

After dealing with these people, Gu Xi did not immediately relax his vigilance. A vast divine sense gushed out of his mind, accompanied by the System’s accurate detection, which quietly enveloped a radius of dozens of miles. Only after confirming that there were no traces of other demonic race members did he let out a long sigh of relief.

“I’d like to see how good your demonic race’s formation is.”

After doing all this, Gu Xi shouted and a mighty spiritual power burst out from his body, hitting the ground. Suddenly, the entire village was filled with dust, and the ground continued to collapse under the impact of the spiritual power. When it was a few hundred feet deep, a dark red color was exposed in his field of vision.

A moment later, the ground around the village was completely lifted up, and the huge scarlet array was finally exposed to the sun. A strong smell of blood rushed into the sky, and everything that came into contact with the blood Qi was corroded.

“The fluctuations of this formation… It’s already close to heaven-grade.”

Feeling the surging spiritual energy fluctuation in the array below, Gu Xi raised his eyebrows. “This array is completely built with blood. As for the source of the blood… it must be the villagers from this village.”

“This damned outer realm demonic race!” Gu Xi gritted his teeth and said, wishing he could cut all the demonic race members into pieces.

This also made him more aware of the seriousness of the outer realm’s invasion of the Eastern Continent. At present, the two sides had not yet officially come into contact, and the people of the Eastern Continent had already suffered such a disaster. If the demonic race really occupied the Eastern Continent one day, one could imagine the horrors that would ensue!

He was afraid that there would be mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Many people would lose their families and have to escape from the demonic race for the rest of their lives!

No one wanted to live such a life. No one wanted to see such a thing happen on this continent!

He must not let the outer realm demonic race succeed!

Thinking of this, Gu Xi no longer hesitated. The spiritual power in his body was constantly mobilized, turning into a sea of spiritual power that fell on the scarlet teleportation array below without reservation.

Boom–

A loud explosion sounded. Under the impact of the spiritual energy, the array collapsed inch by inch. In just a few breaths, it had completely collapsed into a sea of blood.

Gu Xi’s toes touched the ground, and his figure swept into the air. Looking at the sea of blood below, he waved his hand, and the collapsed ground below was filled up again, completely burying the sea of blood here, along with the village.

“I won’t let you die in vain.” After saying this, Gu Xi turned into a stream of light and left.

After burying the dead villagers, what he had to do next was to return to Lanjiang City as soon as possible and start planning his next move.

…

The next day, in the assembly hall of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

The large hall was packed with people. Below them were the Sect Masters and Clan Masters from the various sects and clans of the Eastern Continent. Yun Zhiyi, Tong Shan, Tang Conglin, Little Nine, and Song Qingluan were all sitting on the stage.

At this time, Little Nine’s complexion was ruddy, and it was much better than before.

Although there were many people gathered in the main hall, it was completely silent.

“I don’t know what you are thinking, but we don’t have much time to think about this. We’ll make a decision today so that we can make full preparations for the upcoming war.”

Yun Zhiyi’s expression was serious as his voice reverberated throughout the hall.

As soon as Yun Zhiyi’s words came out, everyone looked at each other in silence. Most of them did not have the sense of urgency of facing a disaster. Only a small number of them had serious expressions on their faces. They were obviously seriously considering Yun Zhiyi’s suggestion.

“Elder Yun, if what you said is true, that the outer realm demonic race is going to invade the Eastern Continent, this is undoubtedly a matter of life and death… However. for us, the demonic race is just a race that exists in the ancient books, and you said that the Blood Spirit Society is the outer realm demonic race. Now. you want us to form an Alliance without any evidence. Isn’t this a little… It’s not too appropriate…”

After a moment, Zhan Wushuang spoke first with a bitter smile.

Many people could not help but nod in agreement after hearing this. It was obvious that what they were thinking was not too different from what Zhan Wushuang had said.

Up until now, the invasion of the outer realm demonic race had not been confirmed. Although Elder Yun’s strength was obvious, one could not believe everything he said unconditionally.

“You want evidence? Now that the great enemy is approaching, and the demonic race that has infiltrated this place has hidden themselves very deeply, where am I supposed to find evidence for you?”

Elder Yun squinted his eyes as he spoke. A heavy pressure gushed out from his body. The tyrannical aura of an Emperor-to-be stage instantly suppressed Zhan Wushuang, causing him to fall back onto his seat.

“Elder Yun’s words are extremely true, but the matter of forming an Alliance is of great importance. Previously, the discussion with the Elders in the clan did not reach an ideal result. In order to convince them, we naturally need evidence that can convince everyone.”

At this moment, Zhan Wushuang’s face was a little pale. Under Yun Zhiyi’s pressure, he could not even think of resisting. He could only choose to endure it.

Hearing this, Elder Yun frowned and sighed helplessly.

Although he was not from the Eastern Continent, he knew that no matter where one was, forming an Alliance would be the same. No one would be willing to put their own sect together with others for no reason.

In order to make the people present willing to form an Alliance, they did need to show evidence that could prove the invasion of the outer realm demonic race into the Eastern Continent.

But where could he find this evidence?

Even if they were to capture a single member of the demonic race alive, they would have to at least be able to find their tracks before they would have the chance to do so. However, they were now hiding extremely deep like rats. Even if they dug three feet deep into the ground, they would not be able to find any clues, let alone evidence.

Elder Yun sighed helplessly again.

“Evidence? Who said there’s no evidence?!”

Right at this moment, a deep voice rang out.

Everyone looked toward the source of the voice and saw Gu Xi’s figure appearing on the high platform. At this time, he was looking down at the people below. He waved his hand and the strong smell of blood suddenly filled the hall.
