1463 Black Lightning Arc

Ye Mo didn't immediately go to Qing Hai Sect after leaving Mo Yue City, he went to the Demon Prison forbidden grounds.

If these sand soul beasts all came out of the Demon Prison forbidden grounds, he would immediately seal that place. It was easy to kill sand soul beasts, but he had to cut the disaster from the source.

As soon as Ye Mo came out of the Demon Prison forbidden grounds, Ye Mo knew that these sand soul beasts didn't come from the Demon Prison forbidden grounds. The seal was perfect and there was no way sand soul beasts could come from there.

Ye Mo frowned. If there was another place like the Demon Prison forbidden grounds also with a few hundred million sand soul beasts, what would happen if they all came out?

…

Qing Hai Sect was in the south, but it was very far from the Ice God forbidden grounds. Ice God forbidden grounds was in the extreme south-west, while Qing Hai Sect was in the extreme south-east.

Qing Hai Sect was just a 6-star sect. It was near the border and not very famous in South Peace State. At this moment, there was not even a wild beast there, much less surviving cultivators. There were only huge mouthed spirit beasts that were made up of fine sand. The bodies of these spirit beasts were everywhere, there were a few hundred thousand of them.

The nearest sect to the Qing Hai Sect was Fusion Joy Sect. This was a 7-star sect.

But at this sect, everyone had a pale face because outside the sect defense formation, the area was full of densely cluttered sand soul beasts. No one could count how many sand soul beasts there were.

The Fusion Joy Sect's sect leader was beginning to regret that he didn't leave in time. He knew this wasn't his fault, how could a 7-star sect just easily give up their sect grounds? Plus, their defense defense formation was on par with a 9-star sect's, it was a level nine peak defense formation.

The sect had a few thousand cultivators too, it should be fine to use the defense formation to defend against the sand soul beasts onslaught for half a month. If they did, then the big sects from the South Peace State would come to support them. After all, the news they got was that there would be no more than a few million sand soul beasts.

Now, everyone in the sect realized how big this mistake was. This wasn't a few million sand soul beasts, this was at least 70 million sand soul beasts. There were endless waves of sand soul beasts.

Now, not just the ground but also the sky above the sect was filled with sand soul beasts. These sand soul beasts kept coming over, forming a large grey patch. One couldn't even see the sky.

Even with the level nine defense formation they wouldn't be able to last half a day, even this mainly because only a limited number of sand soul beasts could attack the formation. Otherwise, even if a tenth of all the South Peace State cultivators came, they would be heavily injured.

…

Ye Mo didn't stop at Qing Hai Sect and immediately chased in at the direction the sand soul beasts went. On the way, he saw a few destroyed cultivation cities. 

By the time Ye Mo got to Fusion Joy Sect, their defense formation was about to fall.

He had heard of this sect as there was a female cultivator called Du Xiuying in here, one of the South Peace State ten beauties. 

Looking at the dense cluster of sand soul beasts, Ye Mo realized that Golden Sword Sect's Wen Ziran's intel was completely garbage, there weren't just a few million here, but about 100 million. Ye Mo was shook, if South Peace State cultivators couldn't gather together quickly, these sand soul beasts would be enough to gradually annihilate the South Peace State.

Luckily, he came here in time. After he annihilated these sand soul beasts, he would have to find out where they came from.

To Ye Mo, he didn't really care how many sand soul beasts there were. His Illusion Cloud 8th Strike was for mass slaughter.

As soon as Ye Mo came, countless sand soul beasts charged at him.

…

In the defense formation, almost all the sect members came out. Without the help of all these cultivators, this formation wouldn't even be able to last 15 minutes under these attacks.

Du Xiuming bit her lips, she really didn't want to die like this, but faced against so many sand soul beasts, she felt a sense of relief. As one of the South Peace State ten beauties, her sect was the weakest. Even Qiu Xue was in Green Pill Sect and had a higher status than her. In nicer terms, Fusion Joy sect was a 7-star sect, but the truth was that they were a sect that relied on dual cultivation.

Originally, a proper dual cultivation sect was fine. As long as the man and woman chose to be dao partners, then it was natural for them to dual cultivate.

But the Fusion Joy Sect today completely went beyond the line. The male and female cultivators in the sect were just completely promiscuous. Other than a few cultivators who disliked this, most cultivators didn't even care who their dual cultivation partner was. They would change one everyday as long as it improved their power.

As she was one of the South Peace State's ten beauties with very high talent, there were countless people who wanted to dual cultivate with her. If it wasn't that her master was a cauldron filling state cultivator of the sect and she was hollow spirit state, it would be almost impossible to preserve her virginity.

Sometimes, she would rather be a demon cultivator than be in this sect.

The reason she hadn't left the sect up until now was that she didn't have the courage to bring this up. She owed the sect; when her family was destroyed, the sect saved her and her father. She was treated very well by the sect.

She was one of the most important core disciples. If she left the sect now, even if the sect agreed, she would bear the name of a traitor and a wolf.

"Martial sister Xiuying, what are you thinking about?" a tall long faced cultivator suddenly walked next to her and asked.

Du Xiuying frowned, this was her martial brother Wang Pang. He had bothered her wanting to dual cultivate with her. He was hollow spirit state level six power while she was only hollow spirit state level four.

Wang Chan said shakily, "Martial sister Xiuying, now that so many sand soul beasts are attacking our sect, I believe our sect can't change this no matter what. Xiuying… I've always loved you, since we're going to die anyways, we might as well…"

A sliver of disgust flashed across her eyes and she suddenly breathed easy. She felt what was a better time to leave the sect than now?

Seeing Du Xiuying breathe easy, Wang Pang said joyfully, "Xiuying, you agree?"

People looked over and some female cultivator sneered in contempt, "She acts like a goddess usually and now that she knows she can't live she still wants to enjoy…"

Du Xiuying didn't seem to hear this. She walked to the sect leader and took out her storage ring and magic artifact. "Xiuying thanks Fusion Joy Sect for saving me and my father. Now, I wish to leave the sect, sect leader please allow this."

Everyone looked dazedly at her, no one expected her to do this at this moment.

Wang Pang's face burst red, he didn't expect his confession of love further strengthened her decision to leave the sect. 

The sect leader frowned and his face went cold. She was one of the most talented sect members and the sect didn't treat her badly. Why did she decide to leave the sect now?

But seeing the storage ring and magic artifact on the ground, the sect leader realized that she knew she would die for sure and she wouldn't be considered a traitor if she left the sect now. It seemed she had long wanted to leave but couldn't make the decision.
