Chapter 922 A Chaotic Situation
Outside the mysterious door, Li Buyi and the others clearly sensed the changes inside the G.o.d Discarding Maze. With such earth shattering movements, something major definitely had happened.
Li Buyi"s expression changed as he mumbled, "They still did not keep an eye on him?"
Since he asked Qin Wushuang and King Cicada to keep an eye on those two suspects, they should not have had any problems with their current abilities.
However, now there was no time to consider these problems.
He called out with a low voice, "Friends, we must stay alert and stop those divine souls from escaping!"
However, the speed of those twenty to thirty divine souls as they scurried around was very fast. As soon as they plunged out, they transformed and darted towards the group of martial artists beneath them.
Almost at the same time, the Heavenly Mysterious Seven Disciples lashed out.
"Boom!"
Seven Master G.o.d weapons unleashed their power at the same time and killed the seven divine souls that were the closest!
For the remaining dozen divine souls, amid the miserable cries that filled the sky, they took their bodies and escaped with lightning speed.
Instantly, Li Buyi"s face changed color. "Second, Third, you will guard this G.o.d Discarding Door, once a divine soul emerges, you will kill it. The rest of us will go after them!"
Li Buyi estimated visually that besides the seven divine souls they killed, there were sixteen other figures. Based on their speed, they were divine souls at the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage. Most of them swept martial artists along on the scene.
Apparently, these divine souls only had one goal; to rob a body and rest their divine soul. Regardless of the power from these divine souls, without a corporeal body to dwell in, they would not survive on their own for long.
Inside the G.o.d Discarding Maze, the five paramount totem elite warriors and Qin Wushuang had already started the cleaning process.
Soon, they found the root of the problem.
At the place where these divine souls escaped, there was a gigantic pit-like hole. Surrounding this hole, there lay densely packed disordered seals that were caused by breaking the seal. The scattering air streams were extremely awe-inspiring. Sc.r.a.ping the face like severe wind, it was extremely uncomfortable.
Clearly, this place was a formation in which the divine souls of the foreign tribes were sealed. Currently, someone opened this formation with a blood sacrifice.
Besides the reek of blood in the surrounding area, clearly the divine soul of the culprit already fell to demise.
Secretly, Qin Wushuang was astonished. The spy of the foreign tribes was this committed as he sacrificed his own life to open this seal.
"Wushuang, how did it go?"
King Cicada arrived one step later. When he saw this scene, he frowned slightly. Clearly, he was also extremely worried by this situation.
Qin Wushuang revealed a forced smile and asked, "Chief King Cicada, how is the situation at the G.o.d Discarding Maze?"
"We gathered most of our people. Besides those that died in the maze and those killed by the divine souls, only twenty seven people are left."
Fifty people came in, but only twenty seven were left! What did this mean?
Qin Wushuang felt his mouth dry up. "Such a high death rate?"
"A dozen were killed by these divine souls." When King Cicada talked about this matter, his tone was also incredibly solemn. Clearly, he knew the severity of the matter.
"Did they clean up the divine souls from the cave?"
King Cicada shook his head. "No one knew how many divine souls were hiding inside this maze. But we are exerting all our efforts to organize the search."
Qin Wushuang nodded. "Besides you five paramount elite warriors, tell everyone else to go out. Staying in here, besides providing a corpse for those divine souls, it"s useless and dangerous."
The weakest of these escaped divine souls had the power at the Sixth or Seventh Calamity of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage. Or else, they would not have been qualified to be sealed here.
In the immemorial stage, among the war of G.o.ds, Sixth or Seventh Calamity Genuine Supreme Dao warriors were honestly like little shrimps. Yet in the current era, it would be highly possible for them to produce great damage.
Under the organization of the totem elite warriors, they worked rapidly. For the remaining twenty seven people, excluding Qin Wushuang and the five paramount totem elite warriors, twenty-two people had already gathered.
Due to Bao Bao and the others keeping a low profile, they were far from the center of dispute. Therefore, they did not encounter any misfortune this time.
At this time, King Cicada no longer held back as he said, "Everyone, due to the sudden emergency, we will tally how many have died from the maze and who has been killed by those divine souls. Also anyone who has gone missing."
In fact, these fifty people were connected through interest. It was incredibly easy to investigate the situation.
Soon, the results were calculated.
Besides the eight who died during their exploration, for the other fifteen, seven died on the scene. Their bodies served as evidence. Eight others were missing.
King Cicada said with a solemn tone, "These eight are trouble!"
Qin Wushuang shook his head. "No, it"s seven!"
"Oh?"
Qin Wushuang explained, "The seal would not have collapsed without a cause, someone must have destroyed it through a blood sacrifice. That person died on the scene and his body ceased to exist. That person must be the other spy."
King Cicada stayed in silence and nodded. "In this case, inside this mountain cave, we haven"t found at least seven foreign tribe elite warriors with their bodies!"
"Yes, there are only seven." Qin Wushuang continued, "Chief King Cicada, please let these people get out of the G.o.d Discarding Maze, we must not give the enemy any more openings."
King Cicada nodded and said with a high pitched voice, "Everyone listen carefully, besides the paramount elite warriors, all of you must leave the G.o.d Discarding Maze. When you reach the outside, you will listen to Li Buyi."
It was a walk in the park for them to go out. When Qin Wushuang and King Cicada escorted them to the exit, they discovered that Li Buyi was no longer outside the G.o.d Discarding Door.
Xiao Yixuan and Li Yifeng, these two elite warriors replaced him.
With these two guards outside the G.o.d Discarding Door, each person that was to come out must go through a thorough verification. They would only be let go if they were not possessed by one of the divine souls.
When Qin Wushuang and King Cicada learned that the first group of divine souls that did not cause trouble inside the G.o.d Discarding Maze had already escaped, they were feeling somewhat ashamed inwardly.
Regardless, they failed their entrusted mission.
Xiao Yixuan still remained to be expressionless and did not say anything.
When Li Yifeng saw Qin Wushuang"s somewhat depressed expression, he comforted him, "Wushuang, don"t be depressed. Such an unpredictable situation is not in our control. Despite how we calculated meticulously, Senior Brother Buyi is still not capable of getting to the bottom of everything."
In front of outsiders, naturally they would not call Li Buyi "Senior Brother."
Qin Wushuang sent his voice to Li Yifeng, "Second, Third Senior Brother, I"ve already controlled Yun Honger. However, she is just a chess piece used to confuse the situation, not a core figure. I suggest to not make any moves on her now, she will be much more useful to deal with the Queen Mother Golden Crow."
That Nine Change Celestial was among the eight missing people. Without a doubt, his corporeal body was seized.
Perhaps his body did not get seized, but he offered it willingly.
Yun Honger came out in one piece. Since she was controlled by Qin Wushuang, she did not show any form of abnormalities.
"Chief King Cicada, Chief Qin, I will have to ask you to work more inside the maze. For the first group of escapees, we killed seven, but sixteen ran away. Senior Brother Buyi already organized people to pursue them. There should be some remains in there, right?"
"Although there aren"t too many, there are others who linger inside the G.o.d Discarding Maze."
"Remember, you must cut all roots to those remains of the foreign b.a.s.t.a.r.ds.The more that escape, the greater the trouble we will have!" Xiao Yixuan instructed with severity.
Qin Wushuang and King Cicada returned to the G.o.d Discarding Maze once again. Although Bao Bao and Lone were courageous and bold, now they did not dare to speak of following him.
They were also aware that due to the severity of the matter, now was not the time for them to play around.
King Cicada appeared to have a load on his mind along the way. Clearly, he was extremely curious about the ident.i.ty of Xiao Yixuan and Li Yifeng. He could not refrain from asking, "Wushuang, are those two also Controllers?"
At this time, Qin Wushuang did not try to play dumb as he replied, "Yes, they are part of Li Buyi"s group. They are Controllers at the peak of the Tian Xuan Land."
When King Cicada heard his words, he smacked his tongue in wonder. Indeed, just as he thought. When he saw the calm and steady temperament of Xiao Yixuan and Li Yifeng, there seemed to be a superior sense that transcended worldliness. Inwardly, he could not refrain from emerging a form of respect for them as high lofty mountains.
At this moment, initially King Cicada was already an elite warrior at the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage. Although he had yet to pa.s.s a calamity in the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage, he no longer possessed the power and insight he had at the Peak of the Genuine Supreme Dao.
However, he still could not see through those two. Without a doubt, those two were well above him.
Upon hearing Qin Wushuang"s words, King Cicada was feeling steadier as he gave a long sigh. "When I saw Daoist Buyi"s actions, I only realized how shallow the so-called totem powerhouses are. For all this time, I always listened to Daoist Buyi"s orders. The others always agreed in public, but opposed him in secret. They did not listen to all of Buyi"s words. If he had not been so generous, most likely, the totem powerhouses would not have existed, right?"
He was not to be unduly humble. When he witnessed Li Buyi"s moves, King Cicada already completely understood how terrifying this mysterious Li Buyi was.
Qin Wushuang laughed. "In the end, totem powerhouses are the most powerful powerhouses within the Tian Xuan Land. To fight the foreign tribes, we must have the totem powerhouses. It"d be useless to just depend on them."
"Them?" King Cicada blinked. "Just how many are there?"
"Seven, the Heavenly Mysterious Seven Disciples."
King Cicada beamed with joy. "Seven? Are they all Heavenly Supreme Dao elite warriors?"
When he saw that Qin Wushuang nodded to give his answer, King Cicada was overjoyed. "Great, excellent! I always worried about the Tian Xuan Land having a lack of hands, we definitely don"t have enough warriors. Now it seems the number of Heavenly Supreme Dao elite warriors is not as little as I thought. I am more confident to fight the foreign tribes now."
Qin Wushuang smiled bitterly. He liked King Cicada"s confident tone. It was inappropriate for him to pour down the cold bucket of water. When King Cicada learned the terrifying part of the enemy, it would be unpredictable whether or not he could still keep his optimism.
