Chapter 427 Returning disappointed? !
Other disciples seemed extremely angry and said with gritted teeth: "Humph, there must be someone behind this! Who is so bold as to destroy the spiritual energy of our Yunluo Continent? We must find out!"
They clenched their fists, veins bulged on their arms, and they were filled with righteous indignation, wishing to find out who was behind this immediately.
The wiser disciples frowned, fell into deep thought, and whispered to themselves: "I think this matter is very serious, there must be something fishy going on."
Some timid disciples turned pale, fear flashed in their eyes, and their teeth chattered: "Is there any danger? What should we do?"
They clutched the corners of their clothes tightly, shivered, huddled together, and curled up like quails in the cold wind, seeking a sense of security.
A female disciple tightly grasped the sleeve of her companion and said in a trembling voice: "Grudge?! It sounds terrible. I hope nothing serious will happen."
Her hands were shaking so much that she almost tore her companion's sleeve.
Another calmer disciple frowned and thought: "Everyone, don't panic. Let's listen to what the elders have to say."
For a moment, discussions and exclamations were heard one after another, and the whole scene fell into chaos and unrest.
The third elder looked at the panicked look of the crowd, frowned even more tightly, and coughed softly: "Everyone, please be quiet!"
Hearing the voice, everyone immediately quieted down and all eyes turned to the third elder.
The Third Elder put his hands behind his back, his face as solemn as iron, and said in a deep voice: "This is a long story."
"During the year that you entered the secret realm, some strange things did happen in our Yunluo Continent."
He paused, then continued:
"Your strength is still low now, but you have already felt the changes in the spiritual energy. It seems that the situation may be more serious than we expected."
A male disciple's eyes were filled with anxiety, and he asked anxiously: "Third Elder, what happened?"
Hearing this, the Third Elder glanced at him, sighed deeply, and then spoke slowly in a low and heavy voice:
"Not long after you entered the secret realm, many villages and towns in the central region of our Yunluo Continent disappeared without a trace in just a few days. No one knew how they disappeared."
As soon as these words were spoken, the audience immediately exploded.
Some disciples clenched their fists in anger, some frowned in worry, and some had faces full of fear and their bodies trembled slightly.
The Third Elder looked around at the disciples present and continued, "At first, the forces in the Central Region did not take this matter seriously, thinking it was just a minor issue."
"But as time went on, things became more and more serious. More and more people in the Central Region and even in various regions of the continent disappeared inexplicably."
"These missing people originally came from various villages and small towns, and later also came from different sects, families and forces. There is no pattern at all."
"What's more serious is that the spiritual energy in the Central Region has begun to become disordered. The originally rich and pure spiritual energy has gradually become thinner, and even contains extremely subtle resentment."
"At first, no one noticed this subtle change, but as the spiritual energy became turbid and resentment continued to accumulate, everyone finally noticed it."
Having said this, the Third Elder's tone became heavier, and a hint of worry and helplessness appeared on his majestic face.
The tenth elder continued with a worried look, "After realizing the seriousness of the incident, the major forces in the Central Region, such as the Qianluo Palace, the Fuzhu Sect, and the Sword Saint Sect, finally began to take it seriously and launched a series of investigations."
He shook his head and continued, "No matter how hard they tried, no matter how much they investigated, they were unable to find any useful clues or answers."
"In the end, these forces in the Central Region could only return to their respective sects with full of disappointment. Sigh..."
Having said that, the tenth elder couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
He believed that the forces in the Central Region were extremely incompetent.
Such a long time has passed, and we still haven't found any clues.
He secretly suspected that some forces in the Central Region might be involved in these things.
If this is not the case, how come it can’t be found?
At this time, the Seventh Elder beside him added worriedly: "However, who could have expected that these grievances would spread rapidly from the Central Region in just a few months. Now, they have spread all over the Yunluo Continent."
"As time goes by, this situation becomes more and more serious. Even people with low strength can notice the turbidity of spiritual energy. In addition, many practitioners find that their cultivation has stagnated or even regressed."
When the disciples heard what the elders said, their faces became more horrified and worried.
Some disciples stared with eyes wide open, their faces full of disbelief, and tremblingly said: "Grudge?! The spiritual energy has become turbid?! How could this happen? This is too terrible! "
A female disciple covered her mouth with both hands, her body trembling like a sieve, her eyes full of fear: "Not only is there resentment, but the spiritual energy is also slowly drying up. Is our Yunluo Continent going to be finished?"
"Damn it! What kind of evil power is at work?" a burly disciple roared angrily, his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound.
"We have worked so hard to cultivate and have gone through so many difficulties in the secret realm. We have finally improved our cultivation by a few small levels. Are we going to destroy it all in an instant?"
One disciple had a look of despair on his face, his hands hanging limply at his sides.
Some other disciples began to shout angrily: "Humph, it's all the fault of those forces in the Central Region for not paying attention earlier. Now look what has happened, a disaster has occurred!"
The calmer disciples could not help but become anxious: "Yes, if this continues, the spiritual energy will most likely be exhausted, and there is really no hope for our Yunluo Continent."
The impatient disciple from before jumped out again and shouted anxiously: "Elders, think of a solution quickly! We can't just sit there and wait for death!"
A disciple clenched his fist and agreed firmly: "That's right, we can't just sit there and wait for death, we must find a way to solve this problem."
Another disciple looked worried: "But even the major forces in the Central Region can't find any clues, what can we disciples do?"
He sighed, hung his head, and looked dejected.
"Yeah, that's right..."
"Even they can't do anything, what can we do..."
The disciples echoed one after another, and the whole scene fell into chaos and panic again.
At this moment, an old and powerful voice suddenly rang out, shocking everyone like the sound of a huge bell.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet!"
The one who spoke was the third elder. His expression was solemn and he raised his voice again and shouted loudly.
His powerful voice seemed to carry an invisible force, calming the turbulent disciples down a little.
"Look at you all, you are useless people. When you encounter something, you run around like headless flies, panicking. How can this be tolerated?"
The Third Elder's voice was like a thunderclap, causing the surrounding leaves to rustle as if they were swept by a gust of wind.
This powerful sound wave caused some timid disciples to tremble all over, shrink their necks unconsciously, and a trace of unconcealable fear flashed in their eyes.
At this moment, the Third Elder's majestic gaze was like a burning torch, sharply scanning every disciple present.
Under his gaze, everyone straightened up unconsciously, no longer daring to slack off in the slightest.
At this moment, the whole place was silent.
The disciples all shut their mouths and looked at the Third Elder in unison, quietly waiting for his next words.
