Chapter 198 Demon Clan
As soon as she stepped out of the room, she saw Qiu Pi flying towards her in the distance. Upon seeing her, he hurriedly asked, "Are you alright?"
"What happened?"
"I don't know, but the disciples in the main hall are in complete chaos, so something big must have happened. That's why I rushed over here to check on things."
"I'm fine, let's go take a look too." She said, and took the lead in running towards the main hall. Seeing this, Qiu Pi followed in her footsteps.
When the two arrived at the main hall, the training ground at the entrance was already full of people, and torches were lit on the stone pillars on both sides of the training ground, illuminating it brightly.
On the field, each disciple held their own weapon, looking ready for battle. But their faces showed confusion, solemnity, unease, and even a hint of fear in some.
Since they joined the Green Mountain Sect, they had been warned that if they heard this kind of rapid three-long-two-short bell ringing, it meant that the Green Mountain Sect was facing a crisis. However, in the past few hundred years, the Green Mountain Sect had never rung such a bell. Even the huge explosion at the summit more than thirty years ago, which almost destroyed half of the peak, was just an emergency bell ringing.
They came out in a panic, only to find everything calm and unaware of any danger. This puzzled them and a sense of fear of the unknown arose in their hearts.
Listening closely, besides the noise from the training ground, there seemed to be another sound coming from the direction of the mountain peak. Those sounds seemed to be coming from another space, approaching here at an eerie speed, which was chilling.
Soon Ershan arrived, and unlike usual, he was carrying a sword. This was the first time Geng Miaowan had ever seen him with a sword.
"Ershan, what happened?" Geng Miaowan called out to Ershan.
Perhaps due to the firelight, Ershan's face was very pale, devoid of any color, and even his gaze towards her lacked its usual respect, carrying a slight hint of confusion. Geng Miaowan asked again, and he replied hesitantly, "A large number of demons have appeared on the mountain."
"What!" she exclaimed, releasing her grip. Demons? How did they get into the Green Mountain Sect? The scene she witnessed in the woods that night suddenly flashed into her mind. Could it be...? She couldn't even imagine it.
Seeing her so flustered, he mistakenly thought she was scared, so he quickly straightened his expression and said, "Miss Geng, don't be afraid. I will definitely protect your safety."
After saying that, he walked into the training ground and stood in front of the disciples.
Ershan glanced at the disciples practicing, his face showing an unprecedented seriousness and determination. "The demons have invaded my Green Mountain. My Green Mountain disciples swear to drive the demons out! Take up your swords and fight the demons to the death."
"Demon?"
"There really are demons?"
"Oh my god, what should we do?" The training ground erupted in chaos. It immediately became a boiling cauldron.
Although the disciples of the Green Mountain Sect had been cultivating for many years, none of them had any experience fighting against demons. Because they rarely went down the mountain, they had hardly ever seen any demons, let alone the more common monsters in the human world, let alone had any combat experience.
At this moment, Yin Qianze arrived. He was over two hundred years old, but his posture was still upright. Although his face was covered with wrinkles, his mental state was not much worse than Ershan's.
When Ershan saw him approaching, he respectfully bowed to him. "Grand Uncle Master."
"Hmm." He responded softly, walked over the two mountains to the front, and said to the disciples on the training ground, "The demons are nothing to be afraid of. You are all elite disciples of my Green Mountain Sect. If the demons dare to come, we will make sure they never return!"
Now that Miao Renfeng is gone, Yin Qianze is the most senior person on the mountain. He continued to say some words to boost morale, and then began to arrange various matters for fighting against the demons.
He had just finished making the arrangements when several sharp-eyed individuals on the training ground spotted a dark shadow approaching from afar. The massive, all-black group of people appeared even more imposing and enormous in the darkness of the night…
Yes, it is enormous, seemingly stretching endlessly all the way to the mountaintop, so enormous that it is awe-inspiring.
Most of these people had never seen demons before. Seeing them approaching, they instantly forgot their original purpose and curiously looked up. As the demons were about to reach the main hall, Ershan's eyes darkened, and he roared in a low voice, "Are you planning to stand here and wait for them to kill you?!"
He was actually quite flustered, after all, the other party was a demon, a demon who had wiped out so many cultivation sects at the foot of the mountain. Although he had long thought about it and had reminded his master that the demons would come after the Green Mountain Sect sooner or later, he did not expect it to happen so quickly, and especially since it happened when his master, Miao Renfeng, was not present.
The coincidence of the timing gave him a feeling that the heavens were about to destroy the Green Mountain Sect. He could only try to dispel his unease by loudly scolding his disciples.
His words struck the disciples like a thunderbolt. The disciples on the training ground sprang into action, quickly finding their positions according to Yin Qianze's earlier deployment, ready to meet the attack.
Several disciples responsible for protecting the main hall formed a formation and released their spiritual power. Soon, the spiritual power covered the main hall and enveloped it.
Just as they finished doing this, the demons arrived in front of the main hall and stopped a few dozen meters away from them.
Aside from Luan Hao, this was the first time Geng Miaowan had seen other demons. She couldn't help but look at the demon army with some curiosity. They were all dressed in black clothes, with grayish-blue faces and red eyes.
As she looked at it, she asked Luan Hao in her mind, "Are there any people you know in there?"
"These are the lowest-ranking demon soldiers in the demon race. How could I possibly recognize them?" He said this with an arrogant expression, as if knowing them was something beneath him.
Geng Miaowan had no time to pay attention to his attitude, because she had a bigger question in her mind: "How did so many demons enter the summit of Green Mountain so silently?"
Luan Hao couldn't figure out her question either.
At this moment, a man who looked like a demon clan leader walked out. He glanced at the people standing on the training ground, including Geng Miaowan, with an imposing air and said disdainfully, "If you know what's good for you, obediently put down your weapons, kneel down and kowtow to us a few times, and hand over the Green Mountain Sect to us. We might even take pity on you and spare your lives."
As soon as he finished speaking, the demon soldiers burst into laughter.
Ershan spat angrily to the side, and was about to speak when a voice rang out, "How dare you, mere demons, be so arrogant! My Green Mountain Sect is the number one sect in the world of cultivation. How dare you demons spread such nonsense here? Even if you kneel here and kowtow until your heads bleed, I will never let you go back!" (To be continued.)
