Chapter 489: 489, [Big Brother, Out of Retreat]

The Eastern Region was caught in rainfall, an autumn downpour.

The whole expanse of the Eastern Region was vast, the sight of the entire continent bathing in rainfall was rare indeed.

Add on the apparitions induced by Lu Xun’s sudden breakthrough, vapour ascended creating a scene reminiscent of a fairyland shrouded in rain.

Under the canopy of heaven, the mute, the old man who couldn’t talk, was evidently straining.

The power within that anomaly was chaotic and overflowing.

The cultivation of the Monster Clan was even more laborious than that of the human Cultivators.

They needed to expend more time, more energy.

However, as previously stated, generally speaking, Monster Clan Cultivators are much stronger than human Cultivators at the same level.

Firstly, merely in terms of physical strength, the Monster Clan had an advantage.

The mute old man, the only Great Saint of the Monster Clan left in the world, possessed a strength far surpassing that of a regular level nine Great Cultivator.

Despite this, on Elder Gui’s left arm, crimson streaks of blood still appeared.

Oddly enough, the moment his blood flowed out, it would transform into a bloody mist, absorbed by the rupture in the sky.

It was like a gaping maw!

Shen Yan stood in the Hidden Mountain. He yearned to help but was powerless to act.

At that height, coupled with the pressure from the anomaly, he tried for himself, and he simply could not fly up.

Fortunately, he discovered that the mute old man kept a fallback option; to be precise, a contingency left behind by the Monastic Master.

A piece of inexpensive xuan paper flew out from the mute old man’s hemp robe.

At a glance, it was common to the papers that the Monastic Master used daily. Only he would fancy such cheap goods.

On the xuan paper was just one large inked character—”forbidden”!

At this moment, this piece of xuan paper sailed upstream, floating upwards to a certain point on the mysterious turtle’s shell, then merged into the shell, leaving only the forbidden character shimmering out with bright golden light.

The golden light intermingled with the azure Qi stream in an instant, hoisting up the turtle shell to the anomaly, ready to undergo refining.

This process won’t be quick, and the mute old man mustn’t be interrupted.

And at this very moment, the Great Sacrificial Rite, who had been lurking outside of the Eastern Region, sprung into action.

Elder Gui’s power shocked him earlier, but the circumstances had changed.

He believed he could take action now.

…

…

Outside the Eastern Region, the Grand Sacrificer, donning a large felt hat, disappeared in an instant.

A sonic boom reverberated in the air, as though the air itself had been torn apart.

His movements were swift.

So swift that only Shen Yan within the entire Eastern Region managed to react in time.

Shen Yan, clad in a black robe, wrinkled his brow. Due to the lack of eyebrows on his face, the creases on his face deepened with the furrowing of his brows.

“Mountain Protection Array, activate!” Shen Yan threw out a jade tablet, immediately activating the Demon Sect’s Mountain Protection Array.

Inside Lead Peak, the half Sword Qi left behind by Yan Li was the first defense of the Mountain Protection Array.

A character at level nine could be fully held off.

But Shen Yan knew well, the enemy wouldn’t dare to invade without utmost confidence.

As expected, just as the Grand Sacrificer approached the Demon Sect, three towering shadows appeared behind him!

A terrifying aura issued from each shadow.

Four of their own at level nine!

This alarmingly severe problem struck Shen Yan!

The Mountain Protection Array won’t hold for long.
