“What?”
The Grand Elder and Lin Yun both revealed shocked expressions when they heard this.
“Is this matter true?”The Grand Elder hurriedly confirmed.
“Grand Elder, it’s absolutely true, within a minute, the other party will arrive!”The guard’s tone was urgent.
“Oh no, it’s a tiger transfer!”The Grand Elder was violently startled.
After the words fell, the Grand Elder directly transformed into a stream of light and flew to the center of the square.
Lin Yun also came to a sudden realization at this moment!
The Shadow Sect should logically be on the island at this moment, exchanging hostages with the Palace Master and the others.
And now, they were heading straight for the holy temple.
Then, it could only mean that the so-called exchange of hostages was simply a front, they were deliberately attracting the Temple Master to leave, and then taking the opportunity of the Temple being empty, without the Temple Master in attendance, to attack the Temple!
Shadow Sect, what a good move!
The biggest disparity in the exchange of hostages was that the Holy Temple cared very much about Elder Xiong, so it would send a strong enough force forward to ensure that Elder Xiong would be brought back safely.
And the Shadow Sect doesn’t care about the death of the third elder, they can just send a few minions to go, as for whether the third elder is alive or dead, it doesn’t matter to them, he can use this, to get a chance to attack the Holy Temple!
In the center of the square, there stood a stone pillar carved with totems.
After the Grand Elder flew in front of the stone pillar, he directly slapped one hand on the stone pillar and then recited an incantation.
Buzz!
A dazzling light instantly emanated from the stone pillar, and a golden light shot up into the sky!
This light that rose up into the sky, after spreading in the sky, lit up the stone pillars that were spread out in the four corners of the sanctuary as well, and the light rose up into the sky.
A huge golden barrier instantly enveloped the entire sanctuary, protecting it.
“What’s going on! What happened?”
Whether it was the inner gate of the Holy Temple or the outer gate, all of them noticed the unusual movement and felt the fluctuations emanating from the protection array.
For a moment, no matter where the disciples of the Sacred Temple were at the moment, they all raised their heads to look at the sky.
“It’s the protection array! It’s our Sacred Temple’s protection formation!”An old son disciple exclaimed.
“What? A protection formation? Only when the Sacred Temple is in danger will the protection formation be turned on, right? How could this be!”
“Could it be that there is someone who dares to come and attack our Sacred Temple?”
The disciples were both surprised and uncertain.
As for the deacons, protectors, and elders of the Sacred Temple, after seeing the protection array, after freezing for a second or two, they all rushed towards the plaza as fast as they could.
This was because they knew that the opening of the protection array was also quite a warning signal that there must be a great crisis!
In the center of the square.
Lin Yun quickly arrived in front of the Grand Elder.
“Grand Elder, quickly contact the Hall Master!”Lin Yun said eagerly.
Lin Yun had just pondered over the fact that the last time the Vice Hall Master had led several Elders, Protectors and disciples to attack the Shadow Sect, they had all been killed or injured, and the Hall Master had ended up desperately trying to blow himself up before he had seriously injured the Demon King and covered for the rest of the people to escape.
Now after a few months, the other side attacked and still had the Demon King.
And on the side of the Holy Temple, the strongest one right now is the Grand Elder, who is still not as strong as the Vice Temple Lord, so this battle is bound to be very difficult to fight!
Therefore, it was urgent to have the Hall Master and the Fourth Elder, Elder Jiang, and the rest of them come back quickly to rescue them.
“Yes, it is imperative to have the Hall Master return quickly, otherwise, if the other party takes advantage of this void and releases the Demon Emperor that is suppressed in the Sacred Hall, then it will be a big trouble!”The Grand Elder said eagerly.
The Grand Elder was very clear about how serious the consequences would be once the Holy Temple was breached.
After all, the Grand Elder didn’t know that the Demon Emperor’s soul had been reincarnated, so he would definitely think that once the Sacred Temple was breached, the other party would be able to resurrect the Demon Emperor by breaking the suppression on him.
Of course, even if it was only the Demon Emperor’s body that was suppressed, the consequences would be just as serious if the body was taken by the Shadow Sect.
But when the Grand Elder was about to contact the Hall Master, he remembered a problem.
“Crap, I actually forgot, our Holy Temple’s Palace Protector Formation will block the signal transmission, it’s impossible to contact the Temple Lord right now, I should have contacted the Temple Lord first before turning on the formation, I’m so old and confused!”The Grand Elder’s face paled.
“Great Elder, it didn’t happen suddenly, it’s not your fault, you rushed to turn on the Palace Protector Formation because you were also afraid that if you turned it on late, it would be rushed in by the Shadow Sect’s people.”Lin Yun said.
“I hope that the hall master and the others will realize and then rush back, otherwise, havoc will come!”The Grand Elder looked up to the sky and sighed.
As soon as the Grand Elder’s words fell, more than ten strong auras appeared in midair!
Clearly, the Shadow Sect and the Demon Race, had already arrived!
They were looking up at the square below through the Palace Protector Formation.
Lin Yun also immediately looked up into the sky.
Above the sky, standing at the very front was a man with a head full of red hair.
That red-haired man exuded an extremely strong demonic beast aura.
“Grand Elder, that red haired man, is …… it a demon king?”Lin Yun said in shock.
“That’s right, that should be a demon king that manifested into human form, if I guessed correctly, the Vice Hall Master, died in the hands of this demon king.”The Grand Elder’s expression was grave.
Cultivating to the strength of a Demon King like this, manifesting into human form was not a difficult task.
It was very different from Yuan Liang’s kind, who was originally a human and had only forcefully incorporated the soul of a Demon King.
This red-haired man, on the other hand, was a genuine Demon King, who only used his mana to transform his appearance, and was able to change back to his demonic beast form at any time.
Beside this Demon King, there stood a man wearing a black robe and a mask, radiating the aura of a Third Stage Transformation God.
This man, naturally, was the Vice Sect Master of the Shadow Sect.
Behind him, the Vice Lord of the Dark Shadow Sect, there were nine other people standing, one of whom, Lin Yun was still familiar with, was none other than Yuan Liang!
As for the other eight people, two of them exuded the aura of a God of Transformation, and of the remaining seven, one was a half-step God of Transformation, and the remaining six were all third-order YuanYing and second-order YuanYing.
Among these people, two of the God Transformation Realm were the two elders of the Dark Shadow Sect, and the remaining seven were all from the 12 Heavenly Kings of the Dark Shadow Sect.
And behind the demon king that had transformed into human form, followed by fourteen demonic beasts in demonic beast form.
Of these fourteen demonic beasts, four of them were Demon Generals (Transformation God) and ten were Demon Spirits (YuanYing)!
Because there weren’t many awakened demonic beasts of the demon race yet, the most powerful force that the Demon King could bring was only these 14 demonic beasts, and he brought them all.
The rest of the demonic beasts whose strengths were too low to play much of a role even if they were brought.
If the strength of the Shadow Sect’s side alone was not enough to be feared, even if the Temple Master wasn’t there, he wouldn’t be afraid of them.
But there was still a demon race.
This team formed by the Shadow Sect and the Demon Race was definitely a luxurious battleship!
The combination of the two of them, when counted, was equivalent to seven at the God Transformation Realm, one at the half-step God Transformation Realm, and sixteen at the Yuan Ying.
As well as Yuan Liang, a half-demon, half-human, who was also considered a Transformation God.
These weren’t the most terrifying ones, the most terrifying one was that Demon King!
The Demon King was an existence equivalent to a Cave Void!
The Vice Hall Master had once died because of this Demon King!
“Your Highness the Demon King, we need to take advantage of the fact that the Palace Master of the Sacred Hall hasn’t returned yet and hurry to break through the Sacred Hall and seize His Majesty the Demon Emperor’s body.”The Vice Sect Master of the Shadow Sect said.
