The uncle looked at the people in front of him with no good attitude.
Having seen many storms, even though they knew each other in their youth, there wasn't much emotional foundation.
He waved his hand:
"Things are as they are.
You prominent sects should go about your business.
We have matters to attend to and must leave first."
After speaking, he said to us:
"Yunxia, Xiao Qin, Xiao Mo, let's go..."
Lao Mo and I nodded, then followed the uncle with Xiao Mei.
Aunt Yunxia also smiled:
"My fellow disciples, we will be leaving now. Please excuse yourselves."
Saying so, Aunt Yunxia followed.
The five people stood still and exchanged glances.
Finally, they did not press on but turned back.
With the Black Demon Palace wiped out, why go in anymore?
To obtain intelligence?
It had become meaningless.
After returning, they could simply send a few disciples to clean up.
So these five people followed again.
"Brother Tang, wait!"
"Brother Tang, you must tell us properly about the three major powers!"
"Yes! Our sect is very close to the Bottomless Pit.
But we were rejected several times when we tried to visit and befriend the Bottomless Old Mother.
Does Brother Tang know the Bottomless Old Mother?
Could you introduce us next time?"
"..."
Several people caught up, surrounding the uncle and talking non-stop.
I watched this happen.
I felt that what my uncle had said earlier was indeed correct.
Being paid attention to too early was probably not a good thing...
As we had reached the outer perimeter of the Misty Forest, we left it not long after.
As soon as we emerged from the Misty Forest, I took a deep breath.
Outside, there was finally no mist.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the air no longer felt so oppressive.
"Damn it, we're finally out!"
I took a deep breath, releasing the pent-up emotions.
I looked back, the trees swaying.
The great mist array was still operating.
"Yes! We're finally out."
Lao Mo spoke, and Xia Qiu Xi nodded.
A faint smile of relief was on everyone's faces.
But at that moment, I realized something was wrong.
In the bushes ahead, there seemed to be figures moving.
"Be careful! There's someone ahead."
I alerted them, drawing my peach wood sword.
The others also frowned and looked forward.
"Esteemed seniors, please do not misunderstand. We are here to meet you."
A voice rang out.
Then, several fellow Taoists from the Black Water Temple emerged.
Following them, a second, a third, and a tenth person appeared.
Mostly from the younger generation, they all appeared and came forward:
"Uncle!"
"Sect Master Uncle!"
"Master!"
"..."
A quick glance revealed a few familiar faces.
Sun Yi from Maoshan, Yunlong and Yunhu from White Ox Mountain, and Wang Qi from Longhu Mountain.
With the news from the Black Demon Palace brought out, the entire Taoist sect was on high alert.
These younger generation disciples were also dispatched to this area for reconnaissance or to provide support.
Looking at these people.
Except for a few, many were unfamiliar and not well-acquainted.
These individuals were quite surprised to see us, the five from our team, emerge safely, accompanied by a fox spirit.
"Brother Qin, Brother Mo..."
Yunlong and Yunhu ran over.
Lao Mo and I nodded.
The two saw our injuries and our blood-stained clothes.
"You are so badly injured. It must have been extremely dangerous inside. We told you not to go."
"Yes! The Dao Alliance has already issued a Class A threat alert.
All the sects in the world have mobilized and will arrive here soon.
At that time, we can charge in and avenge you."
"..."
The two spoke incessantly, still believing that we had ventured in alone, which was too risky.
I smiled faintly:
"It seems the Class A mobilization order will be canceled."
"Why?"
Yunlong asked, confused.
Yunhu also nodded:
"Yes! The threat level must be Class A, no mistake."
Before I could explain, Lao Mo directly said:
"Because we've already eradicated it?
The Black Demon Palace is now a ruin, all the demons are dead, why go in anymore?"
Upon hearing this, both of them showed expressions of astonishment, disbelieving.
"What? The demons of the Black Demon Palace were eradicated by the few of you?"
"Yes, how is that possible?"
Yunlong and Yunhu were greatly surprised.
At the same time, many other young disciples around also voiced their astonishment.
They had all received the same shocking news at this moment.
The Black Demon Palace in the Misty Forest was wiped out by the five of us from Team Seven?
The "Class A threat" issued by the Dao Alliance less than twelve hours ago had been directly quelled...
Surprise!
Surprise!
Still surprise!
Everyone looked at us from Team Seven with disbelief.
After inquiring about the detailed reasons, they looked at my uncle with immense admiration.
They all wondered who my uncle was.
He led us alone into the Black Demon Palace, and without any reinforcement from the Dao Alliance, summoned the three major powers to level the Black Demon Palace in one fell swoop.
What kind of influence did this person, this senior, possess?
Yunlong and Yunhu regretted it even more.
They regretted being timid at the time and not going along.
They missed the magnificent scene of my uncle summoning the three major powers to destroy the Black Demon Palace together...
