Three Thousand Years Ago 1
Translator: 549690339
Several days later.
The news about the incident at Bloodshadow Ancestor’s cave dwelling, like a storm, reached the Immortal Mist Sect and was known to many cultivators and elders in the sect.
“What are you saying? That Bloodshadow Ancestor’s cave dwelling is fake? That place is actually a relic where demons were sealed?”
A Foundation Establishment elder was stunned, hardly daring to believe what he’d heard.
“Yes.”
Another Foundation Establishment elder nodded: “When the prohibition array of the Bloodshadow Ancestor’s cave dwelling was broken, a large number of the Golden Core Masters entered. Who would have thought that inside it actually had a sealed demon.
This demon became violent and plainly had the strength of the Nascent Soul Level. The result is obvious. Most of the Golden Core Masters and Foundation Establishment cultivators died at the hands of this demon.
Only a few Golden Core Masters and Foundation Establishment cultivators managed to escape alive. Now that place has become forbidden and no more cultivators dare to approach it.”
He briefly relayed the news he had heard.
“It’s actually a relic where demons were sealed?”
“But there was plenty of evidence before that it was indeed Bloodshadow Ancestor’s cave dwelling.”
“What is really going on?”
Yao Wen, the master of Array Peak, couldn’t believe that such a thing would happen. In fact, they weren’t fools. If they didn’t have enough evidence to prove that it was Bloodshadow Ancestor’s cave dwelling, they wouldn’t have risked so much.
“I heard a piece of insider information.”
‘ It is said that the disaster three thousand years ago was caused by Bloodshadow Ancestor.”
This Bloodshadow Ancestor is not simply an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, it’s very likely that he is an incarnation of a demon.”
“Or maybe he was controlled by a demon, hence he slaughtered everywhere on Immortal Mist Island, causing massive casualties.”
“The ancestors of our Immortal Mist Sect, along with many Nascent Soul Cultivators, surrounded and attacked Bloodshadow Ancestor.”
“In the end, at a great cost, Bloodshadow Ancestor or perhaps, the demon was sealed.”
Ma Qianjun, the master of Pill Medicine Peak, revealed the insider information he had heard with a mysterious tone.
“Yes, allegedly the only fourth stage Spirit Vein of Immortal Mist Island was contaminated by that demon.”
“In order to prevent a magical disaster from occurring on Immortal Mist Island, the ancestors of the Immortal Mist Sect chose to destroy that fourth stage Spirit Vein.”
“This was a matter of no choice.”
“Who would have thought, our Immortal Mist Sect declined after that and has never recovered.”
Another Foundation Establishment elder spoke solemnly.
He had also heard some news about Immortal Mist Island from three thousand years ago from outside.
Although the Immortal Mist Sect no longer records this information, it seems that some Nascent Soul Level forces outside Immortal Mist Island still kept records of this incident.
This information was also deliberately leaked by Xuanbao Tower.
Fortunately, the Sect Master insisted on not going to Bloodshadow Ancestor’s cave dwelling. Otherwise, our Immortal Mist Sect would have been almost destroyed even if we didn’t die.” A Foundation Establishment elder was extremely grateful.
He remembered that he wanted to write to the Sect Master to explore Bloodshadow Ancestor’s cave dwelling and obtain the treasures inside.
Fortunately, the Sect Master forcefully resisted public opinion, staved off the temptation of the Nascent Soul cave dwelling, and prevented the cultivators of Immortal Mist Sect from going to that cave.
Otherwise, who knows how many Foundation Establishment elders would have died this time.
Even a Golden Core Master like the Sect Master might not have survived.
By then, the Immortal Mist Sect might have truly become history.
“To tell you the truth, did the Sect Master know in advance that there was something strange about Bloodshadow Ancestor’s cave dwelling, so he has always been uninterested in Bloodshadow Ancestor’s cave dwelling and even hindered other cultivators from going there?”
Someone asked very curiously.
After all, without knowing the inside information, which Golden Core Master could resist the temptation of a Nascent Soul cave dwelling.
He believed that Leng Yuexi must have known the trickery in this Nascent Soul cave dwelling and therefore made this choice.
Shut up. Is this matter something you can casually talk about?”
“This time Bloodshadow Ancestor’s cave dwelling killed so many Golden Core
Masters and damaged so many Golden Core forces.”
“If they find an excuse to say that this matter is a trap laid by our Immortal
Mist Sect, I’m afraid they will all come knocking on our doors.”
“All of you shut your mouths.”
This matter has nothing to do with our Immortal Mist Sect. We are also victims, you know?”
Ma Qianjun, the master of Pill Medicine Peak, said very seriously, staring at the numerous Immortal Mist Sect cultivators.
“Yes, Master.”
Hearing this, many Immortal Mist Sect cultivators all nodded in agreement.
They also understood the seriousness of this matter and naturally wouldn’t talk casually.
After all, too many Golden Core Masters were lost this time and other forces suffered heavy losses.
If any rumors come out at this time pointing at the Immortal Mist Sect, the Immortal Mist Sect would probably become everyone’s target.
By then, the Immortal Mist Sect might not be able to withstand the pressure from so many Golden Core forces.
But, Master, what about the relic where the demon is sealed?”
“I see that the demon seems about to break free.”
Once it breaks free from the seal, our Immortal Mist Sect might not be able to resist.”
A Foundation Establishment elder was deeply worried.
Compared to the possible threats from Golden Core forces, he believed the threat from that demon was even greater.
After all, that demon was close at hand and nobody knew when it would break free.
If it indeed frees itself, they would probably be in big trouble.
This is because the base of the Immortal Mist Sect is right here and there’s no way to move it.
“Don’t worry. It probably won’t pose a threat in the short term.”
For that demon to break free from the seal is not that simple.”
“Moreover, it has been sealed for three thousand years. Its strength must have weakened a lot.”
“It won’t threaten us in the short term.”
Ma Qianjun, the master of Pill Medicine Peak, tried to comfort them.
Hearing this, many Immortal Mist Sect cultivators immediately felt much more at ease.
At this moment, in the Immortal Mist Peak.
Leng Yuexi, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyi, Xia Jingyan, and Zhou Sui naturally also knew about the incident in the Bloodshadow Ancestor’s cave dwelling. With Zhou Sui, who had experienced it personally, they knew the details even better.
“Sire, you said that demon is extremely dangerous and has at least the strength of Nascent Soul Level?”
Leng Yuexi asked with a very serious expression.
A demon at the Nascent Soul Level was really horrifying, enough to sweep over the entire Immortal Mist Island.
“Yes.”
Zhou Sui nodded: “Although my clone only sensed it from afar, I know that its strength is not something ordinary Golden Core Masters can match. It is definitely comparable to a Nascent Soul Ancestor.”
“But isn’t it a bit exaggerated to move the entire sect?”
Leng Yuexi said with some hesitation.
This was where she was a bit hesitant. When Zhou Sui found out that the Nascent Soul cave dwelling was the location where the demon Blood Demon Tree was sealed, he immediately had a strong sense of danger.
Because the Immortal Mist Sect was way too close to that Blood Demon Tree.
One careless move and the entire sect would be wiped out.
A wise man does not stand under a precarious wall.
He naturally didn’t want to stay in this extremely dangerous place. He wanted to run away immediately and distance himself from the Blood Demon Tree..
