#802 - Chapter 802: Hope is extinguished

"What? The Spirit of All Things!"

The hope in the eyes of the Demonic Cult members was completely extinguished, and one by one, they were dragged out like lifeless corpses.

Only now did they understand the terrible mistake they had made.

Even if their Demonic Emperor came, in front of the Spirit of All Things, they would be nothing more than insignificant specks of dust.

Even if the Spirit of All Things didn't lift a finger, a single thought could instantly kill them all; going to the desolate lands at least offered a sliver of hope for survival.

…

Inside the Star River Sect, Luo Yangtian finally felt some relief.

He had been sleeping for days, but every midnight, he would be awakened by piercing pain all over his body.

Fortunately, after Mu Qianyuan arrived, he performed acupuncture on him, which finally brought him some comfort.

"Sect Leader, bad news! Xiaobai and Ye Xiaoyao from the Star River Sect are here to see you, carrying a jar."

That evening, after drinking the medicinal soup brewed for him by Mu Qianqian, he was about to rest comfortably when Ji Cunxi rushed in, panicking.

Ji Cunxi's voice was very loud, directly scaring away Luo Yangtian's sleepiness.

"It's so late, tell them to come back tomorrow."

Luo Yangtian didn't want to blame him for this, so he waved his hand.

"No, Sect Leader, when they came, they said it was very important."

"And there seems to be someone inside the jar they're carrying."

"What?" Luo Yangtian was immediately startled. He sat up straight and looked at Ji Cunxi, his heart as heavy as if weighed down by a large stone.

"Where has Peak Lord Ye been recently? Why haven't I seen him?" Luo Yangtian suddenly asked, remembering something.

Ji Cunxi was stunned when Luo Yangtian changed the subject.

Ye Kong had been missing for a long time, a secret almost openly known within the sect, but no one had told the Sect Leader because he had been recuperating.

"This…" Ji Cunxi hesitated, thinking of Yun Zu's instructions, feeling very embarrassed.

"Speak! Are you planning to hide even this from me? Or are you conspiring with others to harm him?"

Luo Yangtian instinctively sensed that something was wrong. Seeing Ji Cunxi still hesitating and refusing to tell him, he became anxious and angry, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Ji Cunxi had no choice but to say, "Peak Lord Ye Kong has been gone from the sect for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yangtian's heart sank. Combining it with what Ji Cunxi had said earlier, he cried out repeatedly, "Quick, let them in! This is absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible…"

In extreme worry, Luo Yangtian became incoherent.

Xiaobai and Ye Xiaoyao, hearing Luo Yangtian's voice, thought something had happened and quickly ran in.

"What's wrong, Sect Leader? What happened?"

Luo Yangtian, with tears in his eyes, sighed, "Where's the jar? Give it to me quickly!"

Ye Kong's cultivation was only at the Qi Refining stage. This time, their Star River Sect suffered a calamity, and no one could protect him.

His own disciples were unlikely to protect him either.

Unfortunately, he himself was injured and hadn't been able to take care of Ye Kong.

Luo Yangtian was filled with regret and felt extremely guilty.

"Give it to me! Don't make me say it a second time!"

In his extreme anxiety, Luo Yangtian could no longer care about anything else and roared at everyone.

Luo Yangtian used all his strength in this roar, startling everyone.

Seeing that they couldn't avoid it, Xiaobai had no choice but to say to Ji Cunxi, "What should we do?"

Ji Cunxi looked at Luo Yangtian and made up his mind, "Give it to him, or he won't be able to sleep."

Seeing that Ji Cunxi had said so, Xiaobai immediately stopped hesitating and directed Ye Xiaoyao to bring out the four jars.

"Sect Leader, these four jars are sealed with members of the Demonic Cult. There's a lot of demonic energy. Your body is injured, so keep them away from you."

"What? Demonic Cult members? Now, inside these jars?"

Luo Yangtian almost couldn't believe his ears, it was too bizarre and strange.

"Yes, they are all inside now. Please be careful."

Xiaobai carefully handed over the four jars.

"Hahahaha, I've finally waited for this moment, Old Demon, can you see it?"

If the previous shock had almost taken half of Luo Yangtian's life, this subsequent reversal gave Luo Yangtian life again.

The sickly appearance he had before due to illness and injury was now washed away by this good news.

Xiaobai and Ye Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief at Luo Yangtian's change.

Luo Yangtian was a good Sect Leader. If something were to happen to him, and their master was not around, they would definitely be driven out by the newly appointed Sect Leader with all sorts of reasons and excuses.

Although Xiaobai and the others could find better places to go, they now completely regarded this place as their home.

A home cannot be easily left.

After Luo Yangtian finished laughing to the sky, he stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me!"

Seeing Luo Yangtian happy, Ye Xiaoyao also became happy and presented the four jars with both hands, "Sect Leader, they are inside."

Luo Yangtian's hands were trembling with excitement. He tremblingly took the four jars and carefully examined them.

On the outside, it was just an ordinary jar with four openings.

But upon closer inspection, one could see clues and discover that there was more to it than met the eye.

Luo Yangtian's cultivation was already very high. He only glanced at them a few times before recognizing that these four jars were ancient artifacts.

Not to mention holding a group of Demonic Cult members, it was estimated that the entire sky could be contained within.

However, he cleverly didn't ask about the origin and purpose of these four jars.

No matter how good these four jars were, they belonged to Ye Kong's disciple.

Ye Kong's disciple was young, but he was able to solve the trouble of this group of Demonic Cult remnants, which could be said to be a promising future.

If he asked about the origin of the four jars and someone with ulterior motives overheard, it would not be good to bring trouble to Xiaoyao Peak.

Seeing that Luo Yangtian was only examining the outside of the four jars, Xiaobai assumed that Luo Yangtian had not discovered the Demonic Cult members inside.

He immediately rushed forward and said, "Sect Leader, these Demonic Cult people are very cunning. They were all standing and protesting just now, but now they are all gone. Let me show you."

Without waiting for Luo Yangtian to agree, Xiaobai directly tossed in a sesame-seed-sized pill.

Instantly, the entire jar began to boil, and heads could be seen floating up and down.
