Chapter 657: The Upcoming Sect Inspection
Wuji Continent, Firmament.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Peals of thunder were trembling, billowing dark clouds were sweeping across, creating a scene reminiscent of the end of the world.
And close to those rolling clouds, one could see a very mysterious scene unfolding.
Ye Luo, Zhang Han, Su Qianyuan, Dantai Luoxue, Baize, Si Xiong, and other members of the Wayless Sect had formed a circle.
Within the circle, Sun Wukong, Kabala, and other top powerhouses from various continents had also gathered there.
They surrounded none other than Jiang Baiyi!
The combat power present here was almost the pinnacle of the new era.
Apart from those here.
There were hardly any top powerhouses left in the new era.
"Jiang Baiyi."
At this moment, everyone's gaze was focused on Jiang Baiyi, their expressions solemn.
Through Ye Luo, they also knew what had happened.
Someone not from the new era had actually mingled among them.
This was no small matter.
"I'd long since noticed this person wasn't simple. Previously, I didn't intervene to help promote the unity of the Continental Alliance, but now, unexpectedly, you turn out not to be a man of the new era."
Sun Wukong stepped forward.
He wore chain armor and carried a staff, his eyes slightly narrowed as he stared at Jiang Baiyi.
"Everyone, I've already said I bear no ill will towards the new era. Why won't you believe me? Even if you don't believe me, letting me go should be fine, right?"
Jiang Baiyi said rather helplessly.
He really didn't want to say anything else, alright?
He had already been planning to leave.
If you can't afford to offend, can't you still avoid?
But these people just surrounded him, and now he couldn't even leave.
"Earlier, you could have left, but now, it won't be so easy."
Sun Wukong said indifferently.
"Must there be a battle?"
Jiang Baiyi took a deep breath and asked.
"What do you think? Unless you surrender willingly."
Zhang Han stepped forward, smiling genially, and said.
"Then there is nothing to discuss..."
Jiang Baiyi sighed.
...
And then, as expected.
A great battle erupted.
This battle directly affected all continents.
The continents shook incessantly, actually shifting several centimeters out of place.
In the end, worried that continued fighting would shatter all the continents, Ye Luo and the others had no choice but to let Jiang Baiyi leave.
After Jiang Baiyi left.
Ye Luo and the others fell into deep thought.
Fighting Jiang Baiyi, they discovered something that plunged them into contemplation.
No matter how many of them ganged up.
Jiang Baiyi never lost; on the contrary, he still maintained an even draw with them.
No matter what, it always ended in a draw...
This made Ye Luo and the others start to question their lives.
After a moment of silence.
They said nothing and returned to their respective territories, keeping silent about the matter.
...
At the same time.
On Tianjian Continent, at the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons, in a side hall.
In recent days, Chu Yuan had been in high spirits.
Although his title had remained the same, always the Demon Saint, his status had been continuously rising.
The power in his hands was also growing greater and greater.
Now among the Demon Saints, he was almost number one.
Even Ji Meng was not as esteemed as Chu Yuan was now.
At present, Chu Yuan might as well be considered half a Demon Emperor rather than just a Demon Saint.
His power and influence had grown terrifyingly vast.
On this day.
Chu Yuan was still in the side hall.
He held a jade slip in his hand, which contained a message.
It was about his disciple, Lin Mo.
As always, his disciple Lin Mo was slaughtering the Demon Race like a mad demon.
```
However, he had kept this news under wraps.
So no one was able to discover it.
"Lin Mo, this disciple has stabilized, but..."
Chu Yuan sighed softly, feeling somewhat helpless.
If he could, he would not want his own disciple to experience these things.
However, for the sake of advancing through realms, this was the only way he could proceed.
Chu Yuan walked over to a bookcase next to his desk, which stored many jade slips.
All these jade slips contained records on how to save someone who had succumbed to demonic cultivation deviation.
Clearly, Chu Yuan intended to wait until after the system inspection to see if his disciple could be saved.
But no matter how much he searched, it seemed he could not find a way to save the disciple.
As time passed, he himself felt utterly helpless.
"After the system inspection, I will see if I can use the Invincible State to save this disciple."
Chu Yuan took a deep breath.
This was what he had in mind.
The wonderful uses of the Invincible State, he had already noticed.
It seemed that in any situation, he was capable of resolving issues with the Invincible State.
The Invincible State had so many uses.
This made Chu Yuan somewhat reliant on the Invincible State.
[Time until Sect inspection: Three minutes and seven seconds]
[Please prepare for the inspection, Host]
Only three minutes left until the Sect inspection?
So soon?
Chu Yuan was taken aback.
This time the system did not notify him in advance.
Previously, the system would always notify him ahead of time.
But this time, it suddenly announced that there would be a Sect inspection in three minutes.
"Send word, I am entering immediate seclusion, and unless it's urgent, no one is to disturb me,"
Chu Yuan commanded towards the outside.
His voice turned into ripples, spreading outward and swiftly carried away.
The members of the Dragon Clan outside heard him and immediately closed the gate to Chu Yuan's hall and entered a state of combat readiness, protecting Chu Yuan.
Similarly, the various factions of the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons, upon hearing of the seclusion of this powerful Demon Saint, also started moving at the news, each entering a state of combat readiness to protect Chu Yuan.
Merely announcing his seclusion,
Had triggered such a reaction from the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons.
It was enough to show the extent of Chu Yuan's authority.
...
Within a side hall,
Chu Yuan's gaze was intently fixed on the system screen before him, visible only to himself.
[Time until Sect inspection: Seven seconds]
[Please prepare for the inspection, Host]
It was about to start, the inspection was about to commence.
This time there was a teaching mode involved.
It would be unreasonable not to be stable this time.
Chu Yuan's breathing became rapid.
He was about to make a breakthrough, feeling a little nervous.
It seemed he had never experienced the feeling of breakthrough all the way up to today.
This would certainly be his first breakthrough!
Having experienced the first, the rest would follow smoothly!
About this, Chu Yuan was full of confidence.
[Sect inspection in progress, please wait, Host]
Soon, this message appeared on the screen.
The Sect inspection began!
Chu Yuan's palms could not help but tremble slightly.
This time, it must be possible!
Definitely!
If he still could not break through this time, then he…
Chu Yuan was just about to make a declaration.
But upon second thought,
He froze all over.
Every time he made a declaration, it seemed that something bad happened.
Could it be the same this time…
Forget it, this time he would keep his mouth shut and just wait for the system inspection!
He decided to believe in the law of murphy; no jinxing this time!!
