"Qian Ding, how dare you bring outsiders onto the island and scheme against our ancestral legacy!"
That night, a furious shout rang across the sky, startling awake every cultivator deep in meditation, as well as the sleeping mortal commoners and duty disciples.
"This is bad! Something's happened!"
Treasure Envoy Pei Qingguang swiftly transported himself into the grand array. Grand Elder Qiu, Grand Elder Huang, and the others arrived alongside him.
But these senior figures of the General Association soon discovered that Qian Ding and his companions had invaded far faster than anticipated. Jin Yuanbo, the Treasure Envoy on duty at the grand array, was already at a severe disadvantage.
"Where on earth did these people come from?"
Seeing the experts surrounding Jin Yuanbo relentlessly bombard the array platform with divine abilities, trying to break through the island's defenses from within, their pupils contracted in disbelief.
Just then, an unusual chill of dread flashed through Pei Qingguang's heart, and his instincts screamed a warning.
"Get out of the way!"
He shouted and hastily dodged aside.
Several enormous demons descended from the sky, swooping down with astonishing speed.
Claws like blades sliced through flesh. Terrible sounds like tearing cloth rang out one after another as three Core Formation experts were hacked to pieces on the spot. Two died instantly. The third possessed the ability of flesh generation and barely managed to retreat aside with a blood escape technique, evading pursuit.
But in an instant, more demon monsters appeared out of thin air, treating the grand array as though it did not exist.
Those who had rushed to the scene were forced back repeatedly, with deaths and injuries mounting.
"The grand array has fallen! Retreat inside!"
Pei Qingguang hurriedly gave the order.
"Fellow Daoist Pei, don't be in such a hurry to leave.
