Ye Mo was speaking from his heart, without a hint of exaggeration. These spirit-devouring insects have some spiritual intelligence, they saw a thousand and nearly a hundred Ice Sword Sect cultivators enter the Grand Brahma Bell, which was bent on taking this Grand Brahma Bell out.
Spirit-devouring insects are swarming spirit insects, and when most of them wanted to stay here to finish off the Grand Brahma Bell, the rest of them stayed behind.
Thousand Bit was able to attract all of these countless Spirit Devouring Bugs to the Ice Sword Sect, giving Ye Mo time to exterminate the Sand Soul Beast and then come back to exterminate these countless Spirit Devouring Bugs, which was the same as relieving more sects of the hidden danger of being exterminated.
Seeing that Thousand Bit was still a bit ashamed, Ye Mo did not explain further and said to Thousand Bit with a cupped fist, “Master Thousand Bit, I am going to the Flame Sea Forbidden Land, so I will not stay here any longer.”
After saying that, Ye Mo looked back at Du Xiuying and said, “Let Thousand Bit Sect Leader send you back to Mo Yue City later.”
Du Xiuying was obviously reluctant to go back, she had seen Ye Mo kill the Sand Soul Beast, she had seen Ye Mo make countless Spirit Devouring Bugs go up in smoke with the wave of his hand, and now that Ye Mo was going to the Flaming Sea Forbidden Land she obviously wanted to go too. Or one day, she would be the only cultivator who had seen Ye Mo unravel the great tribulation of the Southern An Continent with his own power. How was she willing to simply miss out on such an opportunity? However, she had no way to say that she would go over together again, as she had no excuse.
Just as Du Xiuying was trying to think of a way to find an excuse, Thousand Bit suddenly spoke up and said, “City Master Ye, the old ca*sock would like to go with you to see the Flame Sea Forbidden Land, and at the same time witness Master Ye performing his Gaijin Kung Fu again.”
Ye Mo knew that the Thousand-bit Monk was sincere in saying this, and did not refuse after thinking about it.
When Du Xiuying heard the words of the Thousand Bit Monk, she hurriedly spoke up as well and said, “Brother Ye, I would also like to go along to see it, I have never been to that Flame Sea Forbidden Land before.”
Seeing this, Ye Mo sacrificed the Green Moon and said, “In that case, let’s go together.”
The remaining few cultivators of the Vajra Temple all returned to the sect to go, the Ice Sword Sect’s had experienced the sect being completely destroyed and still needed to be rebuilt, although Ye Mo sympathised with them, there was no way to help.
Qing Yue was handed over to the control of the Thousand Patriarchs. Going to the Flaming Sea Forbidden Land would take a day even for the Green Moon. This time was just right for Ye Mo to use to heal his wounds.
……
The forbidden land of the Flaming Sea is the second forbidden land in the Southern Security Continent apart from the Devil’s Prison forbidden land, the Flaming Sea forbidden land so far no one dares to go in, no matter how high your cultivation is, you will be swallowed by the Flaming Sea.
Originally, although the Flaming Sea Forbidden Land was terrifying, as long as you didn’t go inside, nothing would happen because the flames inside the Flaming Sea Forbidden Land would not spill out. But now the Flaming Sea Forbidden Land has become the most terrifying place because the flames of the Flaming Sea Forbidden Land have suddenly overflowed. The good thing is that the rate of overflow is not very fast yet. But because the flames of the Flaming Sea Forbidden Land were so powerful, all the places where the flames overflowed became nothingness, and nothing could exist under the flames of the Flaming Sea.
At this moment, tens of miles away from the Forbidden Land of the Flaming Sea, a dozen of True Transformation Cultivators and dozens of Transformation Cultivators were watching helplessly as the flames of the Forbidden Land of the Flaming Sea slowly spread outwards. And the hundreds of cultivators below the Robbery Transformation behind them could not even get close.
Apart from the thousand sect heads of Vajra Temple. The rest of the nine star sects, eight star sects, and seven star sects’ sect heads or elders were all present. Ye Mo had only asked them to hold off the Flaming Sea Forbidden Land for half a month, and it was only the ninth day and they couldn’t carry it anymore.
Moreover, what they were doing now could not even be described as holding back the Flame Sea Forbidden Land’s flames for half a month; at best, they could only say that they were making the Flame Sea Forbidden Land’s flames spread more slowly.
The biggest role here was played by the later addition of Ji endowment and several formation masters, who spared no material in setting up one defensive formation after another, which barely held off the flames for nine days, or barely made the flames of the Flaming Sea Forbidden Land spread more slowly within the nine days.
Once this flame of the Flaming Sea Forbidden Land spreads out rapidly. It would only take even a few years to turn the entire Nan’an Continent into a sea of fire. No one could get close to the Flaming Sea Forbidden Land here. Not even a True Transformation cultivator. The only thing they could do was to continuously set up one defensive formation after another in the area where the Sea of Flames was spreading, and then reinforce the defensive formations with the true essence and divine sense of all of them.
But as the flames slowly spread out, the defensive formations became more and more difficult to set up. The defensive formations became more and more difficult to set up, and the area became larger and larger. And once the flames came, if they didn’t have time to retreat they would immediately be swept away by the flames, and then not even ashes could be left behind.
“We can’t defend anymore, and there’s no point in defending any longer. Even if City Lord Ye came, this Flame Sea Forbidden Land would be just as helpless for him.” Jing Fengji, the Sect Master of the Xuan Yin Pavilion, said with a sigh as he looked at the raging flames in front of him.
Every single defensive formation was completely destroyed by the flames spreading out from the Flaming Sea Forbidden Land in a very short period of time.
The cultivators around them all fell silent, no one bothered to doubt what Jing Fengji said, they really couldn’t hold on, and even if they continued to barely hold on until Ye Mo came over, it would still be in vain. This kind of flame could not be stopped even if Ye Mo came.
“I believe Ye Mo has a way, he said for us to hold for half a month, we still have the ability to hold now, if we retreat like this, it would not only be irresponsible to Lord Ye City, but also to our entire Southern An Continent.” Sun Bing Lan broke the silence as she decisively asked for continued support for Ye Mo.
“In order to defend against the spreading of this Flame Sea, we have already lost six Cultivators of the Cultivation Tripod and two Cultivators of the Transformation. If the flames of the Flame Sea suddenly breach the defensive formation in front of us again, and we are still setting up new formations, we might fall even more cultivators if we are too late to retreat.” Mo Ming of the Divine Wind Valley said in a deep voice.
After saying that, he said again, “I have just received news that the Spirit Devouring Worm has devoured the Ice Sword Sect, and none of the two Transformation Cultivators and the two Transformation Cultivators four under the Vajra Temple’s Thousand Masters have been spared. Not a single cultivator from the Ice Sword Sect escaped, all of them were devoured by the Spirit Devouring Insect. And ……”
Mo Ming looked around at each of the shocked cultivators and continued, “And that Spirit Devouring Insect was heard to be boundless, a thousand miles in circumference. After Lord Ye City relieved the siege of the Hopeful Clan, he disappeared in the midst of going in search of the Sand Soul Beast’s lair. Besides, not to mention the sea of flames here, no one would be able to stop the spirit-devouring insects that were a thousand miles in circumference. Even if City Master Ye hadn’t disappeared, the end would be the same if he came.”
“What ……” Mo Ming’s words caused almost all the cultivators present to be shocked, a thousand miles square of spirit-devouring worms? Not to mention waiting until the Flaming Sea Forbidden Land completely erupted, even these Spirit Devouring Insects could devour the entire Nan’an Continent.
“So what do we do now?” An eight-star sect’s Transformation Master’s face changed drastically as he asked.
“The only way is to evacuate South An Continent and retreat to the Heartless Sea ……,” Mo Ming said in a deep voice, having thought about it for half a day, but he could not think of a better way.
“What about so many cultivators in South An Continent?” A Hua Zhen elder said with a frown.
He didn’t just mean the many cultivators in South An Continent anymore, there were countless mortal cities in South An Continent, as well as countless clans and cultivation cities, adding up to a population of tens to hundreds of billions. The only thing is that Nan’an continent is so vast and sparsely populated that it does not seem to be densely populated, and many places are not even populated for millions of miles. To evacuate so many people to the Heartless Sea was simply nonsense.
Mo Ming said coldly, “There is no need to care about that much, we are unable to stop the catastrophe in the Southern An Continent, so we can only retreat. If we can retreat, of course, it is better, but if we cannot, we can only leave each other to our fate.”
“I don’t agree.” Sun Bing Lan immediately stood up and said, “Not to mention the fact that the Heartless Sea cannot accommodate so many cultivators in the South China Sea, even if a small number of people can survive, but what about the rest of the people in the South China Sea? We are not all cultivators, many of us have come from ordinary people, and at this time when the South Peace Continent is in danger, we should work together to protect the South Peace Continent, not just flee.”
“Then what does Elder Shan think we should do?” Jing Fengji asked in a flat tone, clearly agreeing with Mo Ming that this catastrophe was simply not humanly possible, and that staying in Nan’an Continent would just be a death sentence.
Sun Bing Lan said firmly, “Things are not yet desperate, let’s continue to protect the periphery of the Flame Sea Forbidden Land, or the flames will expand again. At least we have to wait until City Lord Ye arrives and listen to his wishes.”
“Elder Shan has a high moral character, knowing full well that he cannot do it, Mo Ming admires him. It’s just that my divine Wind Valley has been pa*sed down for tens of thousands of years, but it cannot be cut off at my hands. Mo Ming does not have Elder Shan’s awareness, so I will take my leave.” After finishing his speech, the divine Wind Valley’s Sect Leader Mo Ming directly sacrificed his flying magic treasure.
When the cultivators of Divine Wind Valley saw that the Sect Leader was leaving, they all sacrificed their own magic treasures and followed together, leaving outside the Flame Sea Forbidden Land’s defensive formation and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Immortal Xiluan of the Heavenly Demon Sect, with a cultivation level of the seventh level of the True Transformation, could be said to be the one with the highest cultivation level here, and she saw Mo Ming leave. She also gave a hug to Shan Bing Lan and Ji endowment and threw an apologetic look leading several Transformation True cultivators and a few elders to follow and leave the Flame Sea Forbidden Land at the same time.
“Le Yao, you seem to have something to say?” Xiluan saw Le Yao, an elder under the sect, open her mouth, but in the end she didn’t say anything.
Now that the Sect Leader asked, Le Yao didn’t continue to hold her words and said directly, “Sect Leader, I think we should stay. I know Ye City Master’s ability, he never …… speaks.”
Xiluan waved her hand and interrupted Le Yao saying, “I know this person, City Lord Ye, but Le Yao, do you think that City Lord Ye can kill the spirit-devouring insects that are waterlogged for a thousand miles? Can he still force the flames of the Flame Sea Forbidden Land back? If not, what’s the point of us staying here? It would be better to go to the Heartless Sea earlier and find a place to land.”
Le Yao was dumbfounded by Xiluan’s rhetorical question, and although she wanted to retort again, she couldn’t find the words to do so in front of the truth.
The manpower here was already insufficient, and in the blink of an eye, two nine-star clans had left.
With the two nine-star sects taking the lead, the next sect heads of Xuan Yin Pavilion, Emotionless Valley, Heavenly Medicine Lake and other sects came out to bid farewell to Shan Bing Lan, and more and more sects left over time.
