Sitting on the main seat of the meeting hall was Chu Tianxia, the great elder of Tiandao Sect, and below him were mostly some elders who held real power.
The chairs that originally belonged to the young sect leader Zhu Qing and the second elder Gong Kui were empty. They had been killed by Chen Yu.
"Yuehua, get up first!" Chu Tianxia said in a vicissitudes of voice.
Li Yuehua, who was kneeling, stood up, was supported by a maid, and sat on the last seat.
The atmosphere in the main hall was extremely depressing. An elder finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Great Elder, what should we do now?"
Chu Tianxia frowned and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't make any noise, just let me be quiet for a while."
In the main hall, no one dared to say anything, only the sound of breathing and heartbeat could be heard.
The current Tiandao Sect is in a troubled time. A few days ago, Cao Mu, the great elder of the Tianyao Sect, came to the door and asked the second elder Feng Qiu and Zhou Huxiao whether the deaths of Feng Qiu and Zhou Huxiao were caused by the Tiandao Sect.
Chu Tianxia persuaded Cao Mu to go back with all kinds of persuasion and assurances.
The mother-in-law had not calmed down for two days when Li Yuehua brought back such devastating news that the second elder Gong Kui and the young sect leader Zhu Qing died in the hands of Chen Yu.
Gong Kui's death only slightly weakened the Tiandao Sect's combat effectiveness, but Zhu Qing's identity was different. He was Zhu Shiji's only son and the next leader of the Tiandao Sect.
Chen Yu, in front of everyone in the world, slapped Tiandaomen hard on the face several times, showing no mercy at all.
Thinking of this, Chu Tianxia looked at Li Yuehua and said, "Miss Yuehua, do outsiders know about this?"
Chu Tianxia naturally learned the news about the shocking changes in the ancient ruins of World Mountain. Now that the sect is short of manpower, ordinary elders cannot be Chen Yu's opponent, unless he, Chu Tianxia, takes action himself.
But the matter of the ancient ruins is too important, and the Chu world must pay attention to it. If outsiders don't know about Chen Yu's killing of Zhu Qing and Gong Kui, Tiandao Sect can still hide it for a while and solve it after the World Mountain incident is over.
Li Yuehua shook his head and said: "No one else knows about this except me, but I can't guarantee whether Chen Yu will spread it everywhere."
Chu Tianxia's eyes flickered. After a long time, he finally made a decision.
"Everyone, everyone must have heard about the news about the imminent birth of World Mountain Immortal Treasure. The six major sects have already agreed that the headmaster will not take action."
"Since the headmaster will not enter the ancient ruins, there is a high probability that it will be a fight between the six great elders."
"The master of the sect is in retreat. He doesn't know anything about the outside world. For the sake of Xianzang, I will leave temporarily for a while. During this period, all matters within the sect will be left to the third elder to handle."
Chu Tianxia looked at a taciturn middle-aged man on his left and said, "Elder Guo, please!"
The third elder named Guo Zide nodded and said: "First elder, don't worry, I will be in charge of the Tiandao Sect, nothing will go wrong."
"That's good!" Chu Tian said with a solemn expression: "It's a troubled time. If you all of Tiandao Sect don't have anything special to do, please stay inside the door as much as possible."
"The death of the young sect leader and the second elder is a tragedy for my Tiandao sect. I will take revenge on Chen San. We will discuss it after I come back, or after the sect leader leaves seclusion."
"One more thing, the death of the young sect master and the second elder must not be spread outside. It will cause an immeasurable blow to the majesty of our Tiandao Sect. Remember, remember."
"After this period of time passes, the sect master will lead you all and dominate the world!"
…
Jiuling Island is quite far away from World Mountain. It took Chen Yu and Xiao Jie three days to arrive at full speed.
If Xiao Jie hadn't been too slow, Chen Yu would have been able to enter the ancient ruins in two days.
It has been hundreds of years since the ancient ruins were discovered. Although there are many natural treasures that outsiders are interested in, they still have to be lived to enjoy them.
Even though Hu Runzhi has gained a lot in the World Mountain, it is because he is lucky enough. Throughout the ages, there are countless greedy people who have died in it.
If you want to wander around the ancient ruins, you must first have a Blessing Cauldron, because there is poisonous miasma everywhere inside. Not to mention ordinary people, even the heads of the six major sects would not dare to risk entering without the Blessing Cauldron.
Thousands of miles away from the ancient ruins, there is a small city. Explorers from the Xuanling Realm who want to enter the World Mountain usually get ready here.
The small town is called a border town and has a large defensive formation. Monks are not allowed to fly over the city.
Chen Yu and Xiao Jie landed on the ancient road early and walked towards the small town step by step. Chen Yu was going to get some real information here before setting off.
There are many people on the ancient road, all of them are monks, those in the Heart Movement Realm and those in the Golden Core Realm. Regardless of their level of cultivation, they all want a share of the ancient ruins.
"Why are there so many people in front?" Xiao Jie looked up and saw many people gathered by a river hundreds of meters away, and there was an endless stream of monks walking towards it.
Chen Yu, who was dressed in white clothes and had a rainbow sword hanging on his waist, said: "Let's go and have a look!"
Not long after, the two came to the river and looked at the river that was surging like blood. Xiao Jie was shocked, while Chen Yu slightly frowned.
He felt a faint breath of curse from the blood.
The river water turned into blood, bright red and transparent. Without the two of them saying anything, there was already a monk beside them who explained to the newcomers: "The land in the ancient ruins has changed, and blood is constantly seeping out.
The blood gathered into streams and flowed into this big river, dyeing the water red."
"Is this river water...or blood water dangerous?" someone asked.
"Who knew that there wasn't much blood flowing from the ancient ruins, and it was completely diluted when mixed with the water of this big river." someone replied.
"Although it is blood, it doesn't seem to have the smell of blood!" Someone was so brave that he actually took a little blood with his hand and took a sip.
After closing his eyes and sensing it carefully, the man suddenly opened his eyes and said, "How could this happen? The blood diluted by the river is actually extremely sweet."
At that moment, many people took a bite and agreed that the blood was sweet.
Xiao Jie's curiosity was also aroused. He squatted down and wanted to take a sip, but was stopped by Chen Yu.
Xiao Jie asked in confusion: "Chen Xianchang, is there any problem?"
Chen Yu shook his head and said: "There is a curse in this blood, so don't drink it."
"The power of the curse?" Xiao Jie said in shock.
Many monks around Chen Yu heard what he said. At that moment, someone said disdainfully: "Young man, what is the power of the curse? Why haven't I heard of it? Don't confuse the public with your lies again."

However, as soon as this man finished speaking, many of the people who had just drank the blood started screaming.
Layers of mysterious gas as black as ink suddenly emerged from their bodies, and their flesh and blood was rotting, falling to the ground like mud.
In just a few breaths, more than thirty white skeletons fell to the ground with a bang.
Along the river bank, screams of exclamation arose one after another. Many people were so frightened that they rolled over and crawled away. Some of them ran far away, while some brave ones poked the white skeletons with their swords.
Silently, the white skeleton suddenly turned into ashes.
