"Bang!" The chaotic sounds of the trees drowned out the vibration of the bowstring.
The disciples from Wuhua Island behind fell to the ground in response. The other two screamed in fright, completely losing their composure as cultivators, lacking even the courage to step forward and check. They huddled around Wang Zhen, trembling with fear, wishing they could use him as a meat shield.
Wang Zhen sighed deeply. This was the disciples of Wuhua Island; in the face of danger, their mental state crumbled so quickly. It was no wonder, considering that anyone would panic when they couldn't see the enemy and their companions were falling one after another.
"Who are you? Which sect do you belong to? What kind of ability is it to deal with some juniors? Why don't you come out and face me, you coward!" Wang Zhen had chased this person several times before but had always returned empty-handed. He knew that this person's speed was on par with his own and that he was familiar with the terrain. Capturing him here would be impossible for Wang Zhen alone.
Xu Feng had no intention of responding. He circled around and shot another arrow. The remaining two were already like startled birds, highly tense. As soon as Xu Feng's arrow emerged from the trees, they spotted it. One drew his sword horizontally, and with a flash, the Spiritual Arrow grazed the sword and flew off into the air.
The two disciples screamed in terror; even when prepared, they nearly got hit. If their spirits had relaxed for even a moment, they would have undoubtedly met their end.
Xu Feng realized it would be difficult to achieve results immediately, swallowed a pill, and turned to find another target.
This was Xu Feng's territory. Once out of this foggy area, any Golden Core Stage cultivator could easily deal with him. Now that Mist City was filled with tension and danger lurked everywhere, he could only use this Misty Jungle to reduce the manpower of the Six Sects, making those few Golden Core Stage cultivators isolated. This way, when he escaped, there wouldn't be so many eyes watching him, reducing the chances of being discovered.
Xu Feng decided to kill indiscriminately!
Once again, screams from Foundation Disciples and shouts from Golden Core Cultivators echoed through the forest.
Now even the Guiyi Sect cultivators who had escaped earlier looked pale. Several Foundation Disciples showed expressions of fear; if their leader hadn't acted decisively, there might have been fewer than three left alive now.
Cultivators from various sects exchanged glances filled with suspicion. If their estimates were correct, at least thirty had already died; these thirty could not all be loose cultivators. Given what happened when they escaped from Guiyi Sect, it was clear that some among them had opposed the Six Sects.
This time there were many loose cultivators, but none were Golden Core Cultivators. Only a Golden Core Cultivator could kill other sect disciples without restraint. Therefore, among the remaining forces of the Five Sects in the forest, it was likely that one sect's Golden Core Cultivator was creating chaos and wantonly attacking disciples from other sects.
For a moment, suspicion filled the eyes of everyone in the Six Sects as they looked at each other. Aside from Guiyi Sect being excluded due to prior events, all other Five Sects were under suspicion. Considering the situation in the Otherworldly Secret Realm, everyone's gaze inevitably fell upon Wuhua Island.
Disciples who survived from the Otherworldly Secret Realm would report back to their sects and inevitably mention how Wuhua Island had poisoned their swords in an attempt to control all Foundation Disciples. Although this plan was ultimately disrupted by people from Nine Dragon Pool due to misunderstandings, it undoubtedly provided grounds for suspicion.
"Hmph!" Three Golden Core Cultivators from Guiyi Sect stood up first. "The Otherworldly Secret Realm is a place where lives are at stake. If someone dies, it's due to their lack of skill, not because of others. Now that you've come out, you dare to openly kill my Sect's disciples? Do you really think Wuhua Island can unify Liuxiang Kingdom?"
Although Guiyi Sect had retreated first, they had already confirmed that two of their members had died inside, unlike the other four sects who still held onto a glimmer of hope.
"Nonsense." The three from Wuhua Island also stood up, refusing to back down. Wuhua Island originally had four members, but one was still lost in the forest. "If you want to kill someone, target your higher-ups. What use is it to kill a few Foundation Disciples? Wuhua Island is not that petty."
"I'm right here; go ahead and try to kill me," said two members from Guo Shan Sword Sect as they stood up.
"Yes, Wan Jian Sect feels the same way."
"Our Star River Sword Sect has never feared anyone."
"New Moon Sect cannot agree with this either."
Wuhua Island's actions stirred up a storm, instantly putting them in a precarious position.
"Gentlemen," realizing the situation was dangerous, another Guardian from Wuhua Island quickly lowered his tone and said, "Wuhua Island has no intention of being enemies with any sect. The current situation is unclear and there must be some misunderstanding. Why not temporarily recall the disciples from each sect and assess the situation before making any decisions?"
Seeing Wuhua Island back down, everyone ceased their pressure and retreated.
The three Guardians from Wuhua Island felt slightly relieved when no one pressed further and took out a communication talisman to send a message to the Sky.
As soon as the talisman exploded in the Sky, Wang Zhen came running out from the trees, covered in dirt and looking disheveled, followed by a terrified disciple who was holding another person who had already fainted.
"Ah?" The three Guardians from Wuhua Island were taken aback.
The other Five Sects were equally incredulous; Wuhua Island had sent ten disciples in, but only two had come out, and one of them was barely alive.
Various sects were sending out signals for retreat, hoping that their own sect could survive.
In the forest, cries of agony continued to echo, but they gradually diminished. The three members of the Guo Shan Sword Sect could no longer contain themselves and stood up to head into the woods, only to see a figure slowly emerging—it was Xie Liufang from the Guo Shan Sword Sect.
Xie Liufang was filled with indignation but felt powerless. Behind him, a disciple followed unsteadily.
Only one person remained from the Guo Shan Sword Sect!
Next to emerge was a member of the Star River Sword Sect, who also had only one disciple left.
Then came the Wan Jian Sect. The Wan Jian Sect fared the worst, with only their leading Golden Core Cultivator coming out alone.
“Lu Shidi! What happened?” two Golden Core Cultivators from the Wan Jian Sect asked in disbelief. The Lu surname cultivator lowered his head in silence, looking quite helpless.
Finally, the New Moon Sect appeared, with White Shadow leading six disciples out.
“Hmph! Well done, New Moon Sect. Very impressive,” four members from Wuhua Island exploded in anger. Almost all the other sects had suffered heavy losses, while the New Moon Sect had only lost two disciples—any fool could see something was amiss.
The other four sects glared angrily; if the New Moon Sect couldn't provide a reasonable explanation, they would immediately turn hostile.
“Who dares to make a move!” four Golden Core Cultivators from the New Moon Sect stood together and shouted loudly. “If our New Moon Sect were to indiscriminately kill innocents, would we still be sitting here waiting for death?”
Upon hearing this, everyone felt it made sense, and the tension eased slightly.
“Only you from the New Moon Sect have come out unscathed; even if you didn't take action, you must be involved with the culprit,” shouted a cultivator from the Guo Shan Sword Sect.
Indeed, the disciples of the New Moon Sect were not particularly strong; there was no reason for them to survive while others perished.
"To retreat unscathed, how can you still have the face to say that? Ask Xie Liufang, who killed our two disciples from the New Moon Sect," Huayuan Qiao retorted loudly, pointing at Xie Liufang with eyes filled with hatred.
All eyes in the room suddenly focused on Xie Liufang.
Xie Liufang felt deeply ashamed and said to everyone, "Indeed, the two disciples of the New Moon Sect were killed by me."
Seeing that the crowd was ready to come forward and fight, Xie Liufang quickly added, "I only accidentally killed two disciples of the New Moon Sect; it has nothing to do with me. I am the last remaining member of the Guo Shan Sword Sect. How could I possibly kill anyone else when I can't even protect myself?"
Huayuan Qiao knew that Xie Liufang was not lying, but he hated that he had killed two members of the New Moon Sect and replied, "Exactly because you have other matters at hand, you were unable to protect your own disciples."
The crowd turned their gaze back to Xie Liufang, agreeing that Brother Hua was right.
"The Galaxy Sword Star is also down to one person; why isn't he being blamed?" Xie Liufang dragged He Qinh Tiger into the fray. This reasoning was somewhat forced, but as Xie Liufang denied it, others had nothing more to say.
Seeing the Five Sects suffering heavy losses, Guiyi Sect couldn't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow. One of the cultivators said, "Since everyone has suffered losses, let's first find out who the real culprit is."
Hearing this made sense to all factions, and they calmed down to exchange information in order to quickly identify the culprit.
