Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect-Chapter 201 - 157 Sister’s Letter (Seeking Monthly Ticket)
Chapter 201: Chapter 157 Sister’s Letter (Seeking Monthly Ticket)
Xingzhou, Fuyuan County.
This is where Taiwu Dao Mansion is located.
Within Taiwu Dao Mansion, there is widespread panic.
Several key members of the Yu Family were seated together.
The atmosphere was dead silent.
A few hours earlier, they had received news from Huilong Mountain Range: a massive attack had been launched by demonic creatures on the main camp, the situation was extremely dire, and the Yu Family must prepare for the worst.
What does preparing for the worst entail?
It means arranging for a portion of the Yu Family’s descendants to scatter and evacuate from Taiwu Dao Mansion.
To ensure the continuity of the Yu bloodline, Daoist Master Yu Song had made arrangements long ago; even if he were to perish, the Yu Family lineage must carry on.
Dawn was approaching.
Among them, someone suddenly spoke up: "It’s been so long, why hasn’t there been any news?"
They knew that no news coming through was the worst news of all.
They could only comfort themselves, reasoning that since the Family Head was a Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial, even if the main camp was breached, with the Family Head’s strength, he would surely survive.
As long as the Family Head was alive, there was hope for the Yu Family.
Suddenly, outside the great hall, a figure descended from the sky and landed outside the building.
As the few people just got up, they saw someone walk in.
"Grandfather..."
"Great-grandfather."
The familiar presence brought joy to their faces.
But suddenly, they all froze.
Because the Family Head had become nothing but skin and bones, his hair completely white, his complexion ashen, and his eyes empty.
Daoist Master Yu Song said nothing, walking directly to the main seat to sit down, then hung his head low.
"Great-grandfather..."
One person stepped forward, their voice trembling.
Yet there was no response.
At this moment, everyone understood that the Family Head had fallen.
He didn’t even have a chance to leave any last words.
They knelt before the remains of the Family Head, tears streaming down their faces.
Even the Family Head had perished; it was feared that other family members in Huilong Mountain Range... none would have survived.
.....
After delivering Daoist Master Yu Song’s body back to Taiwu Dao Mansion, Li Qian left immediately.
With the fall of Daoist Master Yu Song and several heavenly beings from the Yu Family, the power of the Yu Family would now greatly diminish. However... he could still sense two other heavenly beings.
In the Yu Family’s other two Guardian Districts, there should also be heavenly beings.
Hence, the strength of the Yu Family was still formidable.
But the Yu Family no longer had the power to control Taiwu Dao.
In the future, they would definitely have to cede many territories and interests.
Of course, this was provided that the demonic forces did not expand and spread unchecked.
For the short term, the forces of Lion Camel Demon City likely wouldn’t dare to come out.
But the thought that Taiwu Dao no longer had a Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial to hold the fort made Li Qian a bit anxious. With no one standing guard in front, he always felt insecure.
By the time Li Qian arrived outside the Huilong Mountain Range, it was broad daylight.
The former site of the Taiwu Dao Mansion’s main camp had already become ruins, and countless corpses lay in disrepair everywhere.
The life force had been drained from most of these corpses.
Even if there were survivors, they had already evacuated.
Li Qian circled around the entire Huilong Mountain Range; many areas were enveloped by fog. He tried to break through... but could not find the Breaking Formation Method.
This Great Array, even if not directly from the Lion Camel Ridge Array Solution, was closely related.
"Ah, my knowledge of array formations is still inadequate."
Li Qian shook his head and sighed.
He would definitely not rush into it recklessly.
Once trapped within the Great Array, his fate would be unpredictable.
When Li Qian returned to Divine Sword Sect, he passed by the Divine Sword Army Camp, which had already returned to normal. Although they had suffered losses, the camp had not been completely breached because he took action.
After returning to Chen Bell Platform, Li Qian began to tally his gains from this excursion.
Three weapons left by the demonic creatures.
These were large weapons, only usable by giant demons, likely of similar level to the staff he had obtained from Panyuan Cave Mansion earlier.
They could only be considered as spoils of war, not very valuable.
Regrettably, those three demons didn’t have any Storage Devices with them, probably in connection with the descent of Demon Thought.
Lastly, Li Qian looked at the Qiankun Bag left by Daoist Master Yu Song.
A simple cloth bag.
He easily opened the bag to find it had a space inside, roughly two to three cubic meters in size, much smaller than his Black Iron Ring’s space.
As for the Heart Protecting Secret Talisman given by Daoist Master Yu Song, he had placed it directly on the body and sent it back to Taiwu Dao Mansion.
He dared not keep such an item on himself; if it bore any kind of tracking mark... wouldn’t it easily expose his whereabouts?
Though the Heart Protecting Secret Talisman could ward off the Myriad Phenomena Demon Thought, he had the Chen Bell protection, which was many times stronger.
As for taking on the identity of the Dao Master, that was even more out of the question.
Once he steps out as this identity, his risks would skyrocket.
Where would he find the carefree ease he has now?
Inside the Qiankun Bag of Taiwu Dao Master were numerous scattered items.
Nowhere near comparable to the items in the Black Iron Ring, but this was normal; for a Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial like the Taiwu Dao Master to have a Qiankun Bag was quite impressive already.
Soon, he took out five Jade Scrolls from the Qiankun Bag.
Compared to the demonic creatures’ Jade Scrolls, these were much smaller.
He began to examine them one by one.
The Jade Scrolls were already unsealed, probably by the Taiwu Dao Master before his death, so he could easily check them.
Quickly, he picked out a Jade Scroll that recorded some information about the outside world.
After reading it, his face showed a look of solemnity and depth.
Because the truth of this world was truly far beyond his expectations.
