"What have you done?" Yang Shirui looked at Sect Master Pei, who appeared heartbroken, and asked coldly.
"What right do you have to ask?" Sect Master Pei immediately adopted an arrogant and disdainful attitude in response.
However, just as she finished speaking, the Spiritual Power Seal shattered with a sound.
Sect Master Pei was shocked beyond words and blurted out, "How is this possible? It was just a minor looseness!"
"Foolish! Self-righteous!" Jie Wenzhan’s face had turned extremely grim. He shouted angrily, "Junior Sister Yang, quickly, notify the Sect Leader, inform all the sect masters, the seal is breaking."
Back then, to seal this Demon Gate, the founding Patriarch of the Canglang Sect nearly paid with his life. Otherwise, why would he have fallen early, without successfully ascending?
And now, all that effort has gone up in flames because of a woman’s self-righteous foolish idea!
Yang Shirui’s expression also changed drastically. She looked deeply at the bewildered Sect Master Pei and gritted her teeth, saying, "Sect Master Pei, so it’s you!" How did someone like her become the leader of such a great sect as the Xiliu Sect?
Jie Wenzhan quickly formed an array, and a silver-white glowing array appeared. It was the Canglang Sect’s unique skill, the Ghost Slaying Array. Jie Wenzhan, now at the Nascent Soul Stage, could easily lay out the entire array, hoping to temporarily hold back the demons about to surge out. Once this array was activated, Canglang Sect would sense it, and reinforcements would arrive soon.
The roars of thousands of demons behind the door grew clearer and clearer. In less than a moment, the door would open. Jie Wenzhan’s face was covered in sweat. Once the seal of the Demon Gate vanished, it was impossible for him alone to close the door.
The first to arrive was Ye Chenfeng. When he saw the signal, he flew over on his sword. However, Tianmiao was not by his side.
At this moment, the Demon Gate had already opened a crack, and countless demons were scrambling to surge out from behind the door, falling into Jie Wenzhan’s array and vanishing immediately. But at this rate, no one could hold on.
"Senior Brother, quickly, lend a hand!" Jie Wenzhan’s face was filled with anxiety.
Ye Chenfeng raised his left hand, and another Ghost Slaying Array appeared above Jie Wenzhan’s array, sinking down to merge with Jie Wenzhan’s.
However, it was like trying to put out a fire with a cup of water.
An endless stream of demons frantically surged outward.
Jie Wenzhan and Ye Chenfeng drew their swords, starting to slay the demons emerging from the Demon Gate. Disciples who were scouting the surroundings also quickly came to support. At first, they could manage, but as demons of the Demon Clan appeared, Ye Chenfeng and the others began to struggle.
"Quick, go!" Yang Shirui, observing this scene, was anxious, shouting loudly, "Retreat first! Meet up with the Sect Leader and the others and then figure out a plan. We can no longer control this situation."
Jie Wenzhan gritted his teeth, looking at the increasingly widening Demon Gate, and after killing another demon, began to retreat. Ye Chenfeng, protecting the weaker disciples, also withdrew.
An endless stream of monsters and demons poured out from the great door.
Everyone retreated, but only Sect Master Pei remained in place, lost and disheartened. How did things turn out like this? Everything was supposed to be under control.
Jie Wenzhan looked at Sect Master Pei, intending to say something.
Sect Master Pei, however, offered a wry smile and said to Jie Wenzhan, "I’m sorry. I was too self-righteous; I didn’t think it would come to this. My fault, I’ll bear it."
With those words, Sect Master Pei put her hands together in front of her chest, closed her eyes, and scattered all her Divine Soul. Her Spirit Platform flashed with gold light, and Sect Master Pei rushed toward the Demon Gate, her Divine Sense transforming into a sealing talisman, while her body leapt into the gate. She intended to use her Divine Sense and body to block the demons and seal the Demon Gate.
However, once broken, how could the seal be restored by her? Even if Sect Master Pei perished in body and soul, it only slowed down the breaking of the seal.
The golden light gradually faded, Sect Master Pei fell, perishing in both body and soul.
Jie Wenzhan frowned at this scene, his expression complex, his mind momentarily thrown into chaos.
