Xu Qingtong fell silent for a long time after hearing Shen Haotian's words.
If a catastrophe truly was approaching, what should he do? Leave Central Province, or face the catastrophe?
If he left Central Province and returned to Bingzhou, he could rely on the Heavenly Chasm's protection to stay safe for a time. If he faced the catastrophe, his survival would be uncertain. But risks often went hand in hand with opportunities. If he survived the catastrophe, he would naturally reap benefits, and his cultivation could climb another step atop a hundred-foot pole!
But Central Province's once-in-ten-thousand-years catastrophe was no comparison to the Ghost Cultivator Turmoil in the Qing-Bing Land! A single Ghost Cultivator Turmoil had destroyed seventy to eighty percent of the cultivation world in Qing and Bing Provinces. Had the Witch Clan not intervened, Qing and Bing Provinces would probably have become an earthly hell!
According to Zhong Ziqing and Lü Wenqiu, Central Province's once-in-ten-thousand-years catastrophe would probably be even worse than the Ghost Cultivator Turmoil in Qing and Bing Provinces!
After pondering for a long while, Xu Qingtong looked up at Shen Haotian and said, "Sect Master, you said the Wuji Sect had troubles within and threats without. The external threat should be the yin nether qi, but what are its internal troubles?"
"Do you remember how, several decades ago, the Wuji Sect invited Golden Core disciples from the major sects to come and support them?"
"I do! Seventh-tier demon beasts had appeared in the Wuji Sect's secret realm, and their Golden Core cultivators weren't strong enough, so they invited us... Sect Master, has something gone wrong in the secret realm again?"
Shen Haotian nodded and said, "Decades have passed, and for some unknown reason, more seventh-tier demon beasts have appeared in the Wuji Sect's secret realm.
