Chapter 1731: The Fall of the Immortal Sect, the Ice Demon Calamity (Part 2)

The sudden news was so bizarre—it revealed that a massive immortal sect, stationed in Central Continent, had been almost completely wiped out in a short period, with nearly all of its forces slaughtered!

How could Shen Ruyan not be shocked by such a turn of events?

Because of Jiang Chengxuan’s acquisition of three original talismans, the catastrophic collapse had been gradually improving, and with this news, the Xuanming Continent had entered a period of recovery, with the situation slowly reversing.

However, just at this crucial moment, such a chilling event had occurred. Shen Ruyan could easily imagine how this news would cause panic in the Xuanming Immortal Domain, plunging it back into despair.

“Summon the surviving elders of the Heavenly Origin Sect. We need to hold a sect meeting!”

After a moment of thought, Shen Ruyan spoke in a serious tone, her brows furrowed.

She had a vague sense that this sudden disaster was definitely connected to the greater calamity, and if not handled properly, it could lead to immeasurable losses.

Under Shen Ruyan’s order, in a distant celestial peak, within a magnificent hall, the elders of the Loose Cultivator Alliance had gathered.

They had all learned about the Heavenly Origin Sect’s situation, and each one had a grim look on their face, their eyes deep with concern.

At the end of the jade-colored long table, an elderly man with a vacant expression sat in silence. His aura was almost undetectable. With white hair and sunken eyes, he radiated a deep sense of despair.

This was Elder Tian Zhi, the only high-ranking elder of the Heavenly Origin Sect to escape the calamity.

After fleeing with a few surviving disciples, he had arrived at the Loose Cultivator Alliance to report the tragic news and seek refuge.

“Elder Tian Zhi, please accept our condolences. We deeply mourn the fate of your sect,” Shen Ruyan said softly, breaking the silence, her tone full of sympathy as she comforted him.

At her words, the elderly man snapped out of his stupor, tears filling his eyes as he spoke with deep sorrow.

“Sigh… my Heavenly Origin Sect has been struck by such a calamity… Alas, woe is us…”

After a moment of grief, he spoke heavily, his eyes full of confusion, not even acknowledging the other elders in the hall as he began to speak.

“If you can, please tell us what happened in the Extreme Grudge Valley. The Loose Cultivator Alliance will ensure that justice is served.”

Shen Ruyan patiently waited for Elder Tian Zhi to finish his emotional outburst before asking the critical question. All the elders in the hall were focused and attentive.

“This great disaster came without warning! It has severed my Heavenly Origin Sect’s foundation, and our Dao lineage has been destroyed!”

“The true culprit is that eerie cold and… the Ice Demons!”

With great effort, Elder Tian Zhi controlled his emotions and began to recount everything that had happened in Extreme Grudge Valley that day, including the bizarre cold storm and the terrifying Ice Demons.

As he spoke, the disaster of that day seemed to come alive before everyone’s eyes, making them all shiver in fear.

The cold that could freeze everything and the undead Ice Demons who wielded this power—there was no doubt that this was a terrifying calamity that no ordinary immortal could withstand.

Even Shen Ruyan, after hearing it all, had a grave expression, her heart trembling.

From Elder Tian Zhi’s description, she became more convinced that this was indeed related to the greater calamity.

“Elder Tian Zhi, please rest and recover. As for the Ice Demon disaster, the Loose Cultivator Alliance will do everything in its power to stop it.”

Once the meeting was over, Elder Tian Zhi’s frail figure was escorted out, and the hall fell into a deathly silence, with no one moving.

Though the elders of the Loose Cultivator Alliance had witnessed many great events, they were at a loss in the face of this strange disaster. All they could do was look to Shen Ruyan for guidance.

Now that Jiang Chengxuan was absent, in the face of this bizarre calamity, Shen Ruyan was the only one they could rely on.

“Elder Yuanhan, take two Earth Immortal elders with me to Extreme Grudge Valley to investigate the truth behind the Ice Demons. As for the rest of you, after the news spreads, there will likely be some unrest. I leave it to you to handle.”

“Master, please be careful!”

Under the watchful eyes of all, Shen Ruyan wasted no time and revealed her plan.

Upon hearing her, Elder Yuanhan and Qin Shenwu nodded in agreement without hesitation.

With Jiang Chengxuan absent, Shen Ruyan had full control over the Loose Cultivator Alliance. With her current Heaven Immortal cultivation, she had the power to suppress any malcontent.

On that day, several powerful figures from the Loose Cultivator Alliance tore through space and left, while news of the cold storm and Ice Demons spread, shaking the entire Xuanming Immortal Domain.

In a time when the cloud of the greater calamity hung over everyone, any shift in the situation would cause turmoil, and the destruction of an Immortal Sect by a mysterious force was no small matter.

Before long, various Immortal Sects began to panic, and unrest spread rapidly.

Especially for those Sects closer to Extreme Grudge Valley, fear gripped their hearts as they dreaded that they might be the next to be wiped out by this eerie force.

“Whum—!”

Fortunately, as several terrifying auras crossed miles of space and arrived at the location of the disaster in Central Continent, sensing the presence of Shen Ruyan and Elder Yuanhan, the sects were somewhat calmed. Otherwise, a great upheaval would have occurred.

However, all of this still depended on what would happen when Shen Ruyan and the others confronted the situation in Extreme Grudge Valley.

If even Shen Ruyan couldn’t suppress the disaster there, no matter what, the Immortal Sects near Extreme Grudge Valley would fight desperately, leading to chaos.

It could be said that without anyone realizing, the seeds of turmoil had already been quietly planted. Everyone’s attention was now on Shen Ruyan and her group, full of both hope and anxiety.

“This cold aura is truly terrifying. The entire Extreme Grudge Valley has frozen…”

Standing high in the sky, gazing toward Extreme Grudge Valley, Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but worry, muttering to herself.

Even though she was nearly a hundred miles away, the eerie cold aura still reached her, causing Elder Yuanhan and several Earth Immortal elders to take a sharp breath, their hearts trembling.

“Everyone, prepare yourselves. Do not let your guard down!”

Shen Ruyan issued a warning to Elder Yuanhan and the others, and immediately, without any hesitation, she unleashed her full power. Her Heaven Immortal might erupted, transforming into a nine-colored sea of thunder that enveloped the surrounding world.

With the roar of thunder, she carried the swirling storm of lightning and rushed toward Extreme Grudge Valley.

“Whum! Whum! Whum!”

Seeing this, Elder Yuanhan followed closely behind, summoning his blessed lands and turning them into vast skies to suppress the area, his aura steady and restrained, ready to strike at a moment’s notice.

“Roar—!”

As soon as they entered the cold range of Extreme Grudge Valley, a terrifying roar burst forth, and in the midst of the icy world, a sinister wind howled.

Before their eyes, towering and grotesque Ice Demons appeared, their forms more massive and intimidating than Elder Tian Zhi had described.

It seemed that these demons had fed on the blood of Heavenly Origin Sect’s cultivators. What once resembled dried corpses had now transformed into true demon-kind!

Their muscles bulged, their bodies covered in frost, and strange, sinister runes adorned their skin, forming otherworldly totems. Their hollow eyes burned with a desire to slaughter all living beings.

The overwhelming demonic energy surged, intertwining with the eerie cold, and everyone couldn’t help but be shocked.

“Roar—!”

The Ice Demons showed no signs of hesitation. As soon as they appeared amidst the cold, they let out ferocious roars and charged toward Shen Ruyan and her group.

In an instant, the magic and cold energy surged, tearing apart the very fabric of space, as the Ice Demons unleashed their monstrous power. Their destructive force was apparent, and they showed no mercy in their pursuit.
