You Yuque could hardly accept this reality.
The remnant soul of the mighty cultivator guarding the sea eye, the avatar of the Dao that was one with the Nether Abyss... had actually been defeated!
It was the spirit that guarded this place, controlling the opening and closing of the sea eye like the will of the Heavenly Dao.
It was also the key vessel carrying the Blood Sea Demon Venerable's will in the Blood Sea scheme.
With all of that gone, the Netherworld Sect's plan could no longer be carried out. All their previous efforts had become meaningless.
You Yuque no longer needed to search for any sea eye. Finding it would be pointless; a barrier of heaven and earth like that was not something ordinary cultivators could shake.
"Elder You, what exactly happened inside? We've entered, but we can't find the way!"
Suddenly, a transmitted thought reached him from outside.
Only then did You Yuque realize that, with the giant serpent defeated, the Nether Abyss's will could no longer seal off this cave heaven. Even communications could reach it directly.
"Someone has ruined our grand undertaking!" You Yuque said, his face filled with hatred and bitter unwillingness.
"Who?" the Illusionist exclaimed in shock.
"I... don't know!" You Yuque hesitated, feeling even more miserable.
From beginning to end, he had focused on finding his own target, with no attention to spare for what happened outside.
He did not even know who had done all this.
It was not that You Yuque had never suspected Li Ling and the others, but he had ruled out that possibility first.
A Demon Venerable Remnant Soul was not so easily defeated. A top expert from a great orthodox sect must have arrived, or perhaps even a Spirit Transformation mighty cultivator had personally intervened...
