When One Is in Trouble, All Sides Watch the Show

"A demon at the Dao Comprehension Realm."

The atmosphere inside the main hall was solemn.

"Should we first invite the sect's patriarch to come out and prepare?" Li Yi asked.

"I'm afraid the patriarchs of each peak alone are no match for these demons."

Upon hearing this, Cang Wenyu gently shook his head:

It's too early to say.

"The lifespan of the sect elders is limited, and they are all in seclusion for life-threatening cultivation. If they were to emerge from seclusion easily, it would be mentally and physically exhausting. Every day they emerge earlier means another day of loss."

"We still have to wait for those demons to arrive. If they are truly beyond our strength, then we'll ask the sect's elder to come out of seclusion."

After a pause, Cang Wenyu said:

"The Devil Race' arrival this time must be related to what happened before. This will be a considerable test for our Five Symbols Sect."

"It's time to get everyone ready. We must set up defenses where the Blood Clouds have entered the borders to prevent these demons from attacking ordinary cities."

"Arrange for the evacuation of nearby cities to prevent the disruption caused by the battle from affecting them."

Cang Wenyu made the arrangements methodically, displaying the demeanor of a sect leader.

"What about the other factions..."

Cang Wenyu paused, his expression shifting slightly:

"Send out an urgent plea for help, asking them to send reinforcements. Tell them that if they don't help, the Five Symbols Sect will be wiped out and face extinction."

Upon hearing this, Li Yi frowned and said:

"These other sects are probably just waiting to see my Five Symbols Sect make a fool of itself; it would be a miracle if they sent anyone."

"I wasn't really counting on them anyway." Sun Miao shook his head.

"However, the biggest test for our sect during this demonic invasion is how to conceal the strength of our ancestors."

Another peak master's expression shifted, and he said:

"That illusion array of the Changzhi might be useful."

"A demonic invasion?"

Upon hearing the news from Cang Wenyu, Lu Changzhi's expression shifted:

Approximately how many of them are there?

"According to Peak Master Xu's estimate, there are probably as many as a thousand people."

Lu Changzhi's eyes lit up.

This is a good opportunity to gain experience points.

I was worried about not having enough experience points.

Unexpectedly, Devil Sect have come knocking on our door.

Seeing Lu Changzhi's reaction, Cang Wenyu reminded him in a deep voice:

"Changzhi, this is also a test for our Five Symbols Sect. Among those demons, there may very well be a powerful expert at the Dao Comprehension Realm."

"The Dao Comprehension Realm?" Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow.

Each realm is a new heaven.

A person at the Dao Comprehension Realm can practically do whatever they want in the Eastern Region.

The old man sent by the Holy Land last time was only at the Peak Void Transformation Realm.

"Does the sect leader mean for me to use an illusion array to restrain the demon in the Dao Comprehension Realm?" Lu Changzhi asked.

"Of course not." Cang Wenyu quickly shook his head and said:

"Other sects will surely stand idly by in this matter, taking the opportunity to probe the strength of my Five Symbols Sect."

"All you need to do is use illusion arrays to influence them, making them see some falsehoods."

"How should we deal with that Dao Comprehension Realm demon?" Lu Changzhi asked.

Cang Wenyu took a deep breath and said:

"Our Five Symbols Sect has developed for many years and still has some resources to deal with this crisis."

"Understood." Lu Changzhi nodded.

He couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

He originally planned to say that if they couldn't win, they would lure the enemy to Hidden Origin Peak.

This is a good opportunity for him to test the power of the killing formation.

But judging from Cang Wenyu's words...

The sect has quite a few hidden away.

He decided to conceal his killing formation first and assess the strength of the sect's side.

The news spread quickly from the Five Symbols Sect, like a storm.

That terrifying blood cloud was aimed directly at the Five Symbols Sect.

All disciples who are away are required to return to the sect as soon as possible.

The disciples in the sect were also required to enter certain designated safe areas.

A sense of impending doom filled the entire Five Symbols Sect.

Looking around, all the elders I saw wore solemn and worried expressions.

Amid the trend of many disciples returning to their sects.

Now, there are even some who go against the grain.

"Chen Tong, everyone has been asked to return to the sect, why are you heading outwards?"

"Sun Feng, you idiot! The Five Symbols Sect can't survive this crisis. Come with me now, or it'll be too late!"

Sun Feng's gaze sharpened:

"Chen Tong, how could you do such a thing at a time of crisis?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Tong immediately cursed:

"Our good intentions have been wasted. This time, the enemy is a legendary demon at the Enlightenment Dao Comprehension Realm. With the strength of our Five Symbols Sect, how can we possibly stop them? Even Elder Cui Yi has run away. Are we just asking for death if we stay?"

"Forget it, you can't reason with a suicidal fool. I'm leaving the Five Symbols Sect."

After saying that, Chen Tong quickly left.

This situation keeps happening.

Some of them were even deacons and elders.

Unexpectedly, the sect did not stop them.

This further convinced those who had left the sect that the Five Symbols Sect was indeed unable to cope and was now in a panic, unable to even manage the sect itself.

Mystic One Sect.

"So, all they know how to do is ask other forces for help?"

The Mystic One Sect Master looked at the appeal for help on the table and gently shook his head:

What is the current situation of the Five Symbols Sect?

"A large number of disciples and elders have fled, and the other disciples have been gathered and are hiding. The surrounding cities are also being evacuated," someone said.

"Is morale already crumbling?" The Mystic One Sect Master's lips curled into a playful smile.

"That makes sense. Even for my Mystic One Sect, dealing with an enemy at the Dao Comprehension Realm is extremely difficult. How could someone from the Five Symbols Sect, who is at most at the Void Transformation Realm, possibly be a match for him?"

"Now that they've asked for help, our Mystic One Sect..." another person asked.

"Of course, our Mystic One Sect cannot stand by and watch someone die." The Mystic One Sect Master smiled.

"Sending a few elders over is a way of showing our stance."

"Remember, do not participate. If there is fighting, withdraw immediately and just keep a close eye on the situation of the Five Symbols Sect."

Azure Cloud Sect.

"Fortunately, we weren't involved in what happened at the Thousand-Fathom Mountain Range. The Five Symbols Sect was glorious because of it, but I never expected that so long ago, we would be in danger because of it."

"Send someone to see how much the Five Symbols Sect has suffered as a result of this incident."

"If he can't maintain his status as a top-tier power, then it's inappropriate for his territory to remain this large."

Flower Spirit Sect

"That blood-red cloud exudes an evil aura; it is unlikely to be benevolent. If it reaches the Five Symbols Sect, it will surely cause terrible carnage."

"If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold; our Flower Spirit Sect cannot stand idly by in this matter."

"Send elders to protect the disciples of the Five Symbols Sect. If there are any female disciples with good aptitude, bring them to my Flower Spirit Sect so that their safety can be protected as well."

When one place is in trouble, people from all over watch.

Various factions sprang into action.

At the same time, that astonishing cloud of blood indeed entered the territory of the Five Symbols Sect.

Instead of lingering within the territory, they sped towards the Five Symbols Sect.

Suddenly, a blood-red cloud loomed over the city, and a storm was brewing.
