Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 332 - Mysterious Fog

Chapter 332 -332 Mysterious Fog

Jiang Fan frowned slightly.

His voice deepened as he said, “Pack your things, and leave the Sword Forest at once.”

Whatever it was.

Staying away was definitely the right choice.

Xu Yining, Nie Yunxi, and other Green Cloud Sect disciples couldn’t help but recall the previously mentioned “Sword Forest menace.”

How dare they delay?

They immediately gathered their belongings and followed Jiang Fan.

Ji Ruyue was even more decisive.

She directly abandoned some cultivation items and tightly followed Jiang Fan with the Desires Sect disciples.

“Junior Sister, do we need to be in such a hurry?”

A male disciple from the Desires Sect reluctantly glanced at several bottles of precious spirit pills that they hadn’t had time to pack.

Ji Ruyue frowned and said, “Yes, it’s urgent!”

“Three days have passed, and this supposed menace hasn’t been cleared!”

“The Myriad Swords Sect either underestimated it or overestimated Lu Shiyi.”

“In any case, this is no good news.”

“No.1 Shadow Guard surely realized this and urged us to leave quickly.”

The Desires Sect disciples just then realized the severity of the problem.

They shuddered involuntarily.

They abandoned the things they didn’t have time to pack and quickly followed Jiang Fan.

If they returned safely, it would be best.

If they were unlucky and encountered the unknown menace, being by Jiang Fan’s side would undoubtedly be safer.

The group hurried along the path they had come.

As long as they returned to the Myriad Swords Sect Master and the elders of various sects, they would be safe.

Strangely.

Jiang Fan stopped after walking for about a quarter of an hour.

He looked at the scene in front of him, somewhat in disbelief.

Xu Yining exclaimed in surprise, “We… we are back?”

The place in front of them was exactly where they had been cultivating earlier.

The two precious top-grade broken swords and the items they had left behind in a hurry were still there.

Ji Ruyue’s beautiful eyes rounded, “How could this be?”

“We clearly followed the direction we came from, how could we get lost in the Sword Forest?”

Jiang Fan looked quite serious.

Even if he had mistaken the direction, it was impossible for ten people traveling together to all mistake the direction, right?

This wasn’t just about getting lost!

He had a thought in his mind, used his movement technique, stepped on one of the broken swords, and shot into the sky, attempting to look into the distance.

To find the way they came.

The Sword Forest was only several miles in radius.

They should have been able to see the edge.

However, when he jumped into the air, his face changed.

A thin, faint fog unknowingly surrounded the Sword Forest.

The color was neither deep nor shallow and obstructed their vision.

At most, they could only see about half a mile.

Seeing his expression change, the disciples felt a pang of worry and quickly jumped up to see for themselves.

Seeing the scene, everyone showed a look of panic.

“Where did the fog come from?”

“We completely lost our sense of direction!”

“The path was clear when we came, where did it go?”

Xu Yining jumped up to look around, her pretty face gradually turning pale.

“No.1 Shadow Guard, why don’t we separate and rush out of the fog?”

After thinking for a moment, she suggested, “There are about ten of us, someone is bound to get out of the Sword Forest by chance.”

“Then, he can inform the Myriad Swords Sect Master and the elders of various sects, and the rest of us can be saved.”

This was indeed the only feasible way.

No matter where the fog came from or what was bizarre about it.

Under the intervention of a sect master and the nine-sect elders, the fog would be nothing.

Jiang Fan thought for a moment and was about to nod in agreement.

Suddenly, his ears twitched.

Several sect disciples who had been cultivating here earlier were unknowingly back in their original positions.

“Did you get lost too?” Ji Ruyue looked at the twenty disciples and her face changed.

They had just arrived not long ago.

More people came stumbling over.

They were none other than the disciples of the Myriad Swords Sect.

However, Ling Guihai was nowhere to be seen.

Only five Myriad Swords Sect disciples with panicked faces were there.

“Why are you here too?” Xu Yining asked in surprise.

Without Ling Guihai to rely on, they were much more subdued.

They honestly recounted their encounter.

They had found a decent cultivation spot to the north.

When they were about to leave, they realized they were lost.

Unknowingly, they had come here.

Jiang Fan’s face was heavy: “I’m afraid someone is guiding the disciples in the Sword Forest to gather here.”

Because they had returned here.

The Myriad Swords Sect, which hadn’t been cultivating here originally, had also arrived.

Something was controlling the fog, guiding all the disciples to gather here.

It seemed to validate his guess.

Soon.

Elite disciples from the Spirit Beast Sect, Heavenly Sound Sect, Thousand Refinement Sect, and even the Supreme Sect were led here from all directions.

Jiang Fan felt a slight unease, “Who’s secretly controlling the fog?”

“Gathering elite disciples from various sects here, what’s the purpose?”

He had a bad feeling.

This person’s intentions were likely malicious.

Xu Yining also sensed something was wrong and said, “We should disperse and rush out quickly!”

Jiang Fan shook his head, “It’s useless.”

“Even disciples cultivating elsewhere have been guided here.”

“It shows that this fog has a powerful hallucinatory effect, capable of confusing a group of people. Acting alone would only lead to further confusion.”

Xu Yining bit her red lip, her face changing continually.

The nine-sect disciples dispersed in the Sword Forest couldn’t leave the fog.

The result of dispersing would likely be getting guided back to the original spot.

Breaking through seemed unlikely.

And since someone was behind the fog, malicious intent was certain.

Dispersing could lead to being picked off one by one.

“Then what do you suggest?” Xu Yining asked.

Ji Ruyue also led the Desires Sect disciples over, clearly considering Jiang Fan as the leader.

Nie Yunxi decisively led the Green Cloud Sect disciples over for assistance as well.

Disciples from several sects who had seen Jiang Fan easily defeat Ling Guihai also gathered around.

The five Myriad Swords Sect disciples, feeling a chill down their spines, didn’t hesitate to gather near Jiang Fan either.

They looked at Jiang Fan, unconsciously viewing him as their leader.

Jiang Fan said in a deep voice, “Everyone, remain calm.”

“This person gathered us here, likely to concentrate us for a single blow.”

“We must not panic!”

“Only by gathering our strength can we resist the opponent.”

A few words could not completely dispel everyone’s fear.

But it gave them a backbone.

“Senior Brother, we all follow your lead.”

The Myriad Swords Sect disciples spoke up.

Seeing the host sect’s disciples doing so, the other sect disciples naturally viewed him as the leader.

They all expressed their willingness to follow orders.

Jiang Fan nodded, “Alright, since the situation is critical, everyone shall follow my orders temporarily.”

“I will make two arrangements.”

“First, a tactical arrangement, forming a circular defensive formation with me at the center!”

“Disciples skilled in close combat on the outer layer, those skilled in ranged attacks inside.”

“Anyone with defensive arrays or magical treasures, please don’t hold back, set them outside the defense!”

The disciples complied.

With their lives at stake, nobody dared to withhold anything.

Soon, there were five or six layers of defensive arrays outside.

Even a Core Formation demon beast charging in might not break through anytime soon.

Jiang Fan nodded, squinting his eyes, “Second, each sect should check its numbers and report any missing persons immediately.”

“I suspect the person creating the fog is one of our own nine-sect disciples.”

The Sword Forest was the core secret realm of the Myriad Swords Sect.

Before it was opened, the Myriad Swords Sect must have thoroughly searched inside and out, ensuring no outsiders could have been lying in wait.

After it’s opened, no one outside the nine sects would dare enter the Sword Forest uninvited.

Thus, there was only one possibility.

This person was mingling among the nine-sect disciples.

So.

The sect disciples began to check their numbers immediately.

Soon, the Myriad Swords Sect disciples reported proactively.

“Reporting to Senior Brother, our Junior Brother Ling is missing.”

“He was leading the way just now, then he vanished into the fog and disappeared.”

Ling Guihai, was it?

Jiang Fan immediately ruled him out, “Are there any other missing people?”

Ling Guihai trying to deal with so many of them?

Firstly, he wasn’t strong enough.

Secondly, if there were any losses, the Myriad Swords Sect would be held responsible. As the Myriad Swords Sect Master’s disciple, he had no reason to do this.

“Supreme Sect, everyone is here.”

“Spirit Beast Sect, all here.”

“Thousand Refinement Sect, all here.”

Several sects reported, finding no one missing.

Finally, a voice rang out.

“True Thunder Sect, all here.”

Jiang Fan looked towards the sound and saw only three male disciples from the True Thunder Sect.

His eyes narrowed, “Are you sure no one is missing?”

The True Thunder Sect clearly also had an unreasonable Blood Skirt female disciple!

Last night, he had even poisoned her unconscious!
