He Yuzhu returns in Siheyuan

Chapter 684 The News Spreads

The fourth elder also fell silent. He couldn't think of a better way, so he could only stand aside and keep silent. At this moment, he was also looking forward to Elder Qingyi bringing good news as soon as possible.

He Yuzhu looked at the fourth elder and understood that in this difficult situation, they could only move forward cautiously step by step. After all, the demon forces here were huge and they had all come out of the mountains. With their current strength, it was really difficult to deal with them. He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Elder Qingyi could quickly find a way to contact the outside world and bring them a turnaround.

At this time, the surroundings were quiet and somewhat oppressive. Elder Qingyi walked slowly towards the edge of the magic circle alone. The three of them were a little slow in strength and action, and at this critical moment, they were undoubtedly a bit of a drag. In order to ensure the efficiency and success of the operation, Qingyi thought carefully and decided to keep all three of them.

Just before leaving, He Yuzhu said to Qingyi with a helpless look on his face: "Master, we don't want this to happen, but our abilities are really limited. We are sorry that we can't help more at this critical moment."

As He Yuzhu spoke, he carefully took out the earth sword from his arms. The sword was simple and gave off a faint earthy yellow light. Although the light was not dazzling, it seemed to carry all the hopes of everyone at this moment. He handed the earth sword to Qingyi and said, "I racked my brains and came up with this idea. You can try it out. It might come in handy."

Qingyi took the earth sword and examined it carefully. He frowned slightly and said to He Yuzhu with a worried look on his face, "Sect Master, you see there is not much spiritual power left on this earth sword. Based on my perception of spiritual power, I don't think it can play a big role."

He Yuzhu shook his head firmly, his eyes revealing unquestionable determination, and said: "Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we must fight. The current situation is so serious that this is our only way. You should save what we have agreed to say in the communication symbol. As long as the outside world can know the situation here, there is still hope."

Qingyi felt warm in his heart after hearing what He Yuzhu said, and at the same time, he also felt a great sense of responsibility. He looked at He Yuzhu and earnestly warned him, "Master, you must ensure your own safety. This operation is full of dangers. I will try my best to break through the magic circle and pass on the message. You must also be extremely careful when you go to rescue Liu Si."

He Yuzhu nodded heavily, his eyes full of determination, then turned and rushed towards the cave where Liu Si was imprisoned.

Qingyi took a deep breath, calmed down, and quickly came to the edge of the formation. He held the earth sword tightly, staring at the seemingly indestructible formation in front of him, secretly encouraging himself in his heart. Then, he shouted loudly, gathered all the spiritual power in his body into his arm, and stabbed the formation with a sword.

In fact, Qingyi didn't have much hope when he made his move. After all, the earth sword had weak spiritual power, and the formation in front of him was so powerful. However, what he never expected was that the moment the earth sword came into contact with the formation, a crack was actually created on the solid formation.

Although this crack was not big and seemed insignificant in front of the huge formation, for Qingyi, it was undoubtedly a ray of light in the darkness, giving him hope.

Qingyi was overjoyed, and without any hesitation, he quickly threw the communication symbol he had prepared along the crack. He had originally wanted to slash the formation a few more times to try to widen the crack and allow the communication symbol to be transmitted farther and more steadily.

However, just as he was about to swing the earth sword again, he heard a crisp "crack" sound, and the earth sword suddenly broke apart without any warning, turning into countless tiny pieces that scattered all over the ground. Qingyi looked at the communication symbol that had been successfully transmitted, and knew in his heart that his mission had been accomplished.

Qingyi knew that once the formation was destroyed, the demons would notice and rush over. He did not dare to delay for even a second, and turned around and hurriedly ran in the direction of the evacuation they had agreed upon.

As expected, just as Qing Yi expected. Not long after he left, a tiger demon from the demon clan keenly noticed the difference in the formation and hurried over. This tiger demon was huge, exuding a fierce aura, and its eyes were like two burning flames, scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

The tiger demon looked at the formation that had merged automatically and looked intact on the surface, and knew in his heart that it must have been destroyed just now. It searched around the formation carefully, not leaving out any corner, but found nothing. The tiger demon was furious and roared: "Human race, you are really abominable! How dare you destroy my formation? If I catch you, I will smash you to pieces!"

The tiger demon searched around for a long time but still found nothing. Helplessly, he could only turn around angrily and go back for the time being.

Outside, the leader of the Tiger Sect was sitting in his study, handling affairs. Suddenly, the disciple in charge of communication ran in in a panic and presented the communication symbol sent by Qingyi to the leader. After reading the content on the communication symbol, the leader's face instantly became solemn, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "What? The big demons have actually come down the mountain! It seems that this matter is not simple at all!"

The impact of this news was far more than that. It was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves. This incident not only alarmed the Tiger Sect, but also attracted the attention of higher forces.

After all, they had completely lost contact with the northeast in recent times, and the people they sent said they could not pass through that mysterious and dangerous area, as if an invisible force was preventing all contact and exploration. Now that they had heard the news that the big monster had gone down the mountain, everyone felt that there was a huge conspiracy behind the matter, and the situation became more and more complicated.

Faced with this sudden and difficult situation, everyone could only hold an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures. The atmosphere in the meeting room was solemn, and everyone's eyes were focused on Elder Mu Feng.

Elder Mu Feng looked serious and slowly said, "This news was passed on by He Yuzhu of the Demon Suppression Hall, saying that the situation inside was critical. However, we tried to pass the news back, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no response."

After that, he looked up at the person in power sitting at the top seat, his eyes full of worry, and asked, "What should we do now?"

The ruler sitting above smiled lightly, with a bit of disdain in his expression, and said: "How much trouble can a small demon stir up? How can it be a match for the Heavenly Dao? Besides, aren't there people from the Tiger Sect inside? How did the demon tribe build a formation there? What's going on?"
