The other side must have already expected that the Divine Martial Sword Sect would unite with the other sects in the True Martial World to deal with them, so Yuan Qianshan had planted the Shura Blood Prison in advance, waiting for his side to come to their deaths!
Once the True Martial Alliance entered the main hall, the long-awaited Shura Blood Prison would immediately be activated, engulfing the entire Shura Palace, along with the True Martial Alliance, in this powerful black vortex!
A trap!
This was a trap to invite the king into the jar!
In order to achieve this trap, Yuan Qianshan had even gone so far as to take out the lives of hundreds of Xiu Luo Palace disciples to use as bait!
The crowd could not help but sigh in their hearts, this Yuan Qianshan’s heart was really a bit too vicious!
At the same time, the crowd was secretly rejoicing in their hearts.
This time, it was fortunate that they had sent such a small team to scout ahead of time by mistake.
Imagine what the consequences would have been if they had not sent a small team at that time, but had allowed all the people from the True Martial Alliance to enter the Shura Palace directly?
With the speed at which the black vortex engulfed them, it was feared that at least half of the 300,000 disciples of the True Martial Alliance would have been lost in it!
Even at this moment, Zhang Zhengkun and the others did not dare to be the least bit slow.
The speed at which the black vortex engulfed them was simply shockingly fast.
A distance of more than ten kilometres, the black vortex had reached them in the blink of an eye.
In fact, even from a dozen kilometres away, Zhang Zhengkun and Wu Yonghui were able to feel the enormous gravitational force of the black vortex.
However, as they were above Heavenly Immortal level, they were still able to withstand such gravitational force slightly.
But if their cultivation level was slightly lower, like those patrolling disciples left behind by the Shura Palace, they would definitely not be able to escape under such gravitational force.
In other words, they might be doomed to death before they even saw the black vortex coming!
This is the terror of the Shura Blood Prison, by the time you notice it, you may already be unable to escape death!
At this moment, Zhang Zhenkun and Wu Yonghui could clearly see that all the buildings, mountains and rivers within a dozen kilometres in front of them had been razed to the ground, completely turned into endless ruins.
As the black vortex continued to spread, Zhang Zhenkun and Wu Yonghui could clearly feel that the gravitational force of the black vortex had increased again!
The hearts of the crowd were appalled.
More than ten kilometres had passed, and not only did the black vortex not show any signs of convergence, but it was continuing to spread.
The power of this Shura Blood Prison was far beyond their imagination!
Zhang Zhengkun was the first to react and hurriedly said, “This is not a place to stay for long, in case our people are affected, we should immediately go back and inform them to evacuate!”
“Let’s go!”
Wu Yonghui and the others thought the same, so they didn’t hesitate, and at the same time, they turned around and broke free from the gravitational pull of the black vortex and fled instantly.
A few moments later, Zhang Zhenkun and the others had returned to the True Martial Alliance’s encampment a hundred miles away.
When Luo Wanqiong, Pei Huazang and the others who had remained in the camp saw Zhang Zhengkun and the others return, they were all overjoyed.
However, before they could rejoice, Zhang Zhengkun’s divine transmission came to their minds immediately.
“Everyone, retreat a hundred miles back immediately! Hurry!!!”
The voice was so urgent that when the crowd heard it, they were all stunned.
Luo Wanqiong, however, was the first to react and immediately rushed to all the leaders and ordered.
“Retreat! Retreat a hundred miles back!!!”
In just a moment, the order to retreat immediately reached the entire army.
Like the ebbing tide of the sea, the army of 300,000 men retreated in the direction they had come from.
At first, the people were puzzled by Zhang Zhengkun’s order.
It was not until they had withdrawn 50 or 60 miles that they saw a huge black vortex in front of them, like a pillar of heaven that stirred up the heavens and earth, engulfing everything around them!
Even the mountain next to the camp was instantly torn apart as soon as the black vortex reached it, as if it was made of paper!
Seeing this scene, all the people present sucked in a breath of cold air.
They were all completely shocked by the sight before them.
In their minds, even the end of the world would be no better than this!
At the same time, they were also secretly thankful in their hearts.
Fortunately, they had fled in advance, otherwise, they would have been buried in this black vortex!
It was only after the True Martial Alliance’s army had withdrawn a hundred miles that the huge black vortex in front of them finally stopped its march.
Only after a moment’s pause did the huge black vortex finally burst into flames and completely dissipate.
Only a moment later, when the crowd looked towards the place where the black vortex had passed, all they could see was an endless expanse of scorched earth and ruins.
The entire Shura Palace had completely ceased to exist!
Looking at this scene before them, everyone’s faces were filled with shock.
When they had come, they had envisaged countless possibilities of a battle with the Shura Palace, but they had never imagined that it would end up like this.
Without any contest, the vast Xiu Luo Palace had completely disappeared from this world just like that!
“Pavilion Master Zhang, all of you, what the hell is going on here?”
Only after the dust had settled did Luo Wanqiong and the others rendezvous with Zhang Zhengkun and the others to ask for the cause.
Without hiding anything, Zhang Zhengkun told the truth about everything.
After hearing Zhang Zhengkun’s account, everyone was in a state of shock.
A few moments later, one of the patriarchs, however, stood out.
“I don’t understand, why is the Shura Palace doing this? They were clearly able to fight us, but why did they just flee?”
This Patriarch said in confusion.
“Yes, this doesn’t seem to be his Yuan Qianshan’s style!”
The other Patriarchs, too, were all expressing their doubts.
At this moment, Luo Wanqiong, however, said with a gloomy expression, “I think that the only explanation is that the Shura Palace has already made its next move. That’s why they are preserving their strength!”
With these words, Luo Wanqiong could be said to have woken up the dreamer with a single word.
When the crowd heard this, they all looked up at her.
“That’s right, the ultimate goal of the Shura Palace is to resurrect that old demon, the Shura Mother Immortal. Now that they are preserving their strength, doesn’t that mean that they have made more progress with their plan?!”
The crowd was all nodding their heads.
At the same time, the hearts of the crowd all looked at Luo Wanqiong in a somewhat different light.
Previously, they all thought that it was a little too rash to let such a young woman lead a large sect like the Divine Martial Sword Sect.
But now, they all felt that the new head of the Divine Martial Sword Sect was not only exceptionally strong, but also extremely intelligent.
Even when they thought back, it was this new Sect leader who had first proposed the idea of sending a small team to explore the sword intent in advance.
Brave and resourceful, this new female head of the Divine Martial Sword Sect was not simple!
And at this moment, what the crowd was considering more was still the matter of the Xiu Luo Palace.
“But, even if they want to preserve their strength, where can they hide after leaving the Xiu Luo Palace?”
A Sect Leader raised a question.
“That’s right, with our True Martial Alliance’s influence, as long as we assign our men and horses down, it would only be a matter of time before we want to find them in the True Martial Realm!”
Another Sect Leader said.
The other Sect Leaders also nodded their heads.
After all, the Shura Palace had over a hundred thousand disciples.
With such a large number of disciples, it was almost impossible to hibernate silently in the True Martial Realm!
However, at this moment, Zhang Zhenkun was frowning.
“If they were still in the True Martial Realm, it would be fine. But what if they are not?”
Zhang Zhengkun said as he looked to the crowd.
The crowd was stunned.
Luo Wanqiong, however, was the first to react.
“Does Pavilion Master Zhang mean that they might have gone to the secular world?!”
Luo Wanqiong opened her mouth and said.
When these words came out, the crowd was all in an uproar.
These people present were basically people born and raised in the True Martial Realm, and they didn’t really know much about the Secular Realm.
In their impressions, the secular world was just a cage isolated outside the True Martial Realm and used to seal the Shura Mother Immortal.
Nowadays, if one were to say that the Shura Palace had escaped en masse into the Secular Realm, this was indeed possible.
“Pavilion Master Zhang, didn’t you say before that the Shura Palace had a big plan in the secular realm?”
A Sect Master asked.
“That’s right, it’s called the Tongtian Tower Plan, which was formulated by the Shura Palace in order to resurrect the Shura Mother Immortal!”
Zhang Zhenkun explained.
This matter was also something that Li Nan had asked Xiao Chenxing to tell Zhang Zhenkun back then.
And when Zhang Zhenkun had formed the True Martial Alliance, he had also told these paladins about these matters.
“If that’s really the case, then the possibility of the Shura Palace escaping into the secular world is really quite high!”
“It’s highly likely that from the very beginning, the Shura Palace has already decided to give up on this side of the True Martial Realm and turn to the Secular Realm! In order to better advance that Tongtian Tower plan!”
A sect leader analyzed.
The crowd nodded their heads in agreement.
And at that moment, there was also a Sect Master who stood out directly and said with great vigour, “If that’s really the case, then won’t things become easier! Since the Shura Palace is in the secular world and is trying to conspire in the secular world, then why don’t we just kill the Shura Palace in the secular world and eradicate it along with their bullsh*t Tongtian Tower plan?!”
This Patriarch spoke, and immediately gained the support of many people.
However, Luo Wanqiong, Wu Yonghui, and Zhang Zhengkun looked at each other, and they all saw some helplessness on each other’s faces.
The others were not sure, but the three of them either came from the secular world or had close ties with it.
Therefore, they all knew very well that killing the secular world was simply impossible!
