While Su Jingzhen and the others were still waiting inside the main hall.
The sky outside had already darkened.
Night once again crept over the heavens.
At this time, after several hours of fermentation, the atmosphere in the Dantai ruins had reached its most heated moment.
The treasure pavilions such as the Pavilion of Elixires, which were previously occupied by the top forces of the Yunmeng City system, as well as the Pavilion of Weapons, Pavilion of Scriptures, and other treasure vaults occupied by other forces, remained untouched.
Even Lingxiu Pavilion and other forces, after painstakingly trying to decipher them for a long time, were unable to break the restrictions of these pavilions.
Their alliance had indeed prevented others from approaching these treasure vaults, but it was ultimately futile.
They were guarding a mountain of treasures, yet unable to enter.
This was a truly agonizing situation.
Because too many forces were guarding outside the Pavilion of Elixiers and other treasure vaults, the Dongxuan Academy, which had never set its sights on these treasure vaults, wandered the fringes.
Instead, they found many good things, earning a considerable profit and making their trip worthwhile.
As time passed, Lingxiu Pavilion, Spirit Sound Valley, and other forces had no choice but to abandon their occupied Pavilions.
They knew deep down that relying solely on themselves to open this place was impossible.
To minimize their losses, they also headed towards the front of the Dantai clan.
At this time, most cultivators followed the example of Zou Zeyu and the Second Elder. They demolished all the buildings they encountered along the way.
However, they did not follow Zou Zeyu’s example and went in a straight line towards the central area when demolishing these buildings.
Rather, the buildings themselves contained many valuable materials.
These materials might be looked down upon by Golden Core or even Nascent Soul cultivators, but for most Foundation Establishment cultivators, they were a considerable fortune.
Therefore, wherever these demolition teams passed, there was almost nothing left.
Most cultivators finally arrived at the white jade square in the center.
Previously, Tuoba Junlin and Zou Zeyu, along with the Second Elder and Elder Qin, could still rely on their cultivation to kill anyone who came their way without mercy.
In the first half, they did indeed do so.
Many forces stumbled upon the white jade square first.
They were all killed by the Second Elder and Elder Qin together.
This included over twenty Nascent Soul cultivators.
But later, especially as the sky darkened, the number of people arriving at the square at once became too great.
Even the Evil Moon Sect’s Longyan Branch and the Holy City Treasure Gathering Pavilion, with all their might, couldn’t wipe them all out.
Moreover, when there were too many people, Tuoba Junlin and Elder Qin found it inconvenient to make a move.
Because the Treasure Gathering Pavilion had always maintained a neutral stance.
If they could kill without a trace, they could naturally act arbitrarily.
They could freely choose sides.
However, in broad daylight, even powerful figures like Tuoba Junlin and Elder Qin dared not tarnish the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s reputation.
The Treasure Gathering Pavilion was always a merchant force. Even though the Tuoba clan was powerful within the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, it was only within Qingzhou.
There were also Treasure Gathering Pavilions in the Luo River Basin, Zhongzhou, and even higher regions.
In those levels of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, their Tuoba clan was nothing but an ant.
Therefore, no matter how unwilling they were, under the watchful eyes of everyone, they would not dare to make a move.
If they provoked public anger and damaged the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s reputation, the consequences would be extremely severe.
So, relying solely on Zou Zeyu and the Second Elder’s words, they couldn’t possibly go against the entire Qingzhou, and even the top forces of several surrounding states.
Even though the Evil Moon Sect also had many strong cultivators present, at this moment he is not the sect leader.
He was still in the midst of a competition with Luo Yuebai, and the main sect wouldn’t interfere.
“Damn it!
Why are they able to stay inside for so long!”
Tuoba Junlin and Zou Zeyu secretly exchanged glances.
Both of them were filled with immense anger.
During these few hours, they had also tried again.
But they still couldn’t open the main hall’s doors.
Now, looking at Cang Yun, who was still sitting cross-legged and recovering in the distance, their hearts were filled with an overwhelming desire for revenge.
The situation had evolved to this point, and someone had to bear the brunt of their anger.
And Cang Yun, the one who had first proposed waiting here, was undoubtedly the most suitable scapegoat.
Even if they couldn’t do anything else besides waiting.
But just as Zou Zeyu wanted to directly kill someone to vent his rage…
A group of people broke through the air from afar.
It was none other than the nine disciples of Dongxuan Academy.
Well, now that the people from the Dongxuan Academy have arrived, Zou Zeyu could no longer kill Cang Yun to vent his anger.
As for Han Ning and the others, although they sighed seeing Cang Yun safe and sound, their faces still held a hint of joy.
No matter what choice Cang Yun made, at least he was still alive, which was ultimately a good thing for them.
“Holy Son, calm down,”
“After all, we haven’t been able to open the main hall’s doors. If Su Jingzhen and the others really come out from there, then this matter might not be a bad thing for us.
Right now, nearly all the top forces are gathered here. Being the target of everyone’s attention isn’t our best situation.
But with our strength and methods, after Su Jingzhen and the others come out, we might be able to seize the opportunity.”
At this moment, the Second Elder’s voice suddenly rang in Zou Zeyu’s ear.
This was a transmission.
Zou Zeyu quietly glanced at him and silently nodded.
Zou Zeyu was angry, he was proud, but he wasn’t foolish either.
He naturally knew what to do in this situation.
However, their current position was the closest to the main hall.
The crowd that had gathered from all sides of the square was a distance away from them.
And between their distance, hundreds of corpses were laid out.
Over twenty Nascent Soul cultivators and four to five hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators lay dead.
The blood flowed freely.
The scene was quite cruel and bloody.
The five of them seemed to be at odds with everyone else.
The many powerful figures stood ten zhang away.
Although there were many of them, they were still somewhat apprehensive.
“So bloody, so murderous, as expected of the Evil Moon Sect,”
“It seems that the Longyan branch of the Evil Moon Sect wants to monopolize this place. Their appetite is truly quite large.”
“Judging by the situation, those fellow cultivators who were killed by the Evil Moon Sect just now should have also stumbled upon this place by accident and were brutally killed here. The Evil Moon Sect is truly domineering.”
“…”
At this time, many voices of provocation and sarcasm rose from the crowd.
All the blame was placed squarely on Zou Zeyu’s Evil Moon Sect Longyan branch.
However, not a single word was mentioned about the Holy City Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
It wasn’t that they didn’t dare, but most people subconsciously wouldn’t associate the Treasure Gathering Pavilion with the Evil Moon Sect Longyan branch in this kind of act.
And even if many people guessed the truth, there was no need to offend both parties.
Simply pushing all the blame onto the Evil Moon Sect wouldn’t cause any major issues.
Of course, while these people were speaking, their gazes were all fixed on the grand hall behind Zou Zeyu and his companions.
While the Yunmeng Goddess statue on the white jade square was awe-inspiring, apart from providing a slight taste of Dao aura, it offered no tangible benefits and couldn’t be moved.
But the grand hall behind Zou Zeyu and the others was clearly the core of the Dantai Clan, and it was evident to anyone with discerning eyes.
A sneer curled up at the corners of Zou Zeyu and the Second Elder’s mouths.
They knew exactly what these people were thinking.
Cultivators were known for their lack of compassion.
What did it matter if a few hundred cultivators died?
Even if ten thousand died, so what?
Who could possibly feel remorse?
Besides, none of those who died here were truly innocent.
They were just looking for a reason to get information about the grand hall behind them from Zou Zeyu and his group.
Zou Zeyu’s gaze fell on the factions that had been discussing incessantly.
He sneered, “Yes, I killed them. What, do you want to avenge them?”
