Chapter 656
Half a day had passed.
Outside the valley, over a thousand array masters were still anxiously waiting.
By now, there was still no movement within the array, and the fate of the second batch of array masters was practically a foregone conclusion.
"Look, there's movement!"
At that moment, someone in the crowd shouted.
Seeing this, everyone turned their gaze towards the source.
They saw three men, their bodies shrouded in black mist, charging out amidst a fierce battle.
"Die!"
One man, his face crimson, directly tore another man in half.
But while the mantis is catching the cicada, the yellow bird is waiting behind.His heart was then ripped out from behind by the third man.
"Hehehe!"
The remaining man squeezed the still-beating black heart until it burst, his scarlet eyes flickering, a sinister smile curling his lips, as if he had gone mad, charging towards the surrounding crowd with murderous intent.
"Alas!"
Seeing this, everyone sighed heavily, and with great reluctance, they swung their weapons to decapitate the man.
His head fell to the ground.
Turning into a wisp of black mist.
The atmosphere on the scene became heavy, almost suffocating.
For a long time, no one spoke.
Indeed.
The second batch had also been wiped out.
Because the last man to die was the most powerful array master of the second batch. If he had lost his mind, one could imagine what had happened to the others.
"The third batch, sign up yourselves!"
After sighing, an elder with considerable prestige called out.
However, after his voice fell, there was no response for a long time.
It wasn't that they were unwilling to break the array, but with two batches already meeting such a fate, they knew that going down themselves would likely be a death sentence.
They didn't want to lose their minds and become walking corpses, only to be put out of their misery by their own people.
Seeing that no one responded for a long time, the elder sighed heavily once more.
After a long silence, he made a decision: "In that case, let's temporarily abandon this area!"
Upon hearing this, everyone clenched their fists tightly.
Their expressions filled with reluctance.
If they couldn't solve this array, and it continued to devour more life force, the area it affected would only grow larger.
They had once evaluated that leaving this array unchecked would result in them losing a third of their territory in the Heavenly Array Immortal Continent, forcing countless people to become refugees, and all the sects and families in this region would have to relocate.
Such a relocation would inevitably cause a ripple effect, disrupting the balance of power across the entire continent.
This chain reaction could lead to great chaos in the Heavenly Array Immortal Continent.
But what could they do...
Two batches had already been lost, including some renowned array masters.
Even if the rest of them went down, the outcome would likely be the same.
"Disperse."
"We've been here too long, and even if we don't go down, our minds might still be affected."
The elder, filled with regret, had no choice but to make this decision.
Everyone nodded in silence, reluctantly beginning to pack up and prepare to leave.
However.
Just as everyone was leaving, there was suddenly movement from within the valley.
"What's going on?"
Someone asked in confusion, turning their gaze back towards the valley.
They saw a White-robed Youth, his eyes half-closed as if still drowsy, strolling out of the valley along the small path, looking as relaxed as a lazy sheep.
"This..."
"This is..."
"He doesn't seem to be shrouded in black mist, he hasn't lost his mind."
Seeing the White-robed Youth, someone exclaimed in surprise.
At this exclamation, many array masters who had already taken to the air to leave were forced to stop mid-flight, turning their gazes back towards the valley.
