Chapter 6618: The Bell Rings and Startles the Bright Moon
In the Haoyue Realm, there is a certain secret sect.
The ancient bell placed on the top of the mountain, which had not made a sound for hundreds of years, suddenly made a low but heart-wrenching humming sound without anyone striking it.
The sound of the bell spread throughout the sect and spread in all directions.
From a hall not far away, more than a dozen high-level monks rushed out, their faces filled with uncontrollable panic.
There were even more monks from different sects who gathered from different places, all with faces full of confusion and fear.
"Brother, what happened?"
A new monk who didn't know the truth stopped his fellow monk and asked in a puzzled tone.
"You do not know?"
"Something big happened!"
"When the Guardian Bell rings, it means that a disaster is about to happen to the Haoyue Realm. The more times it rings, the more serious the situation is!"
The sect monk who was speaking had a solemn expression on his face and his words were full of worry.
"The mission of our Qiankun Sect is to protect the people of the world and resist the invasion of enemies from other worlds.
Over the past few hundred years, the boundary bell has never sounded, which means that although there is chaos inside, there is no invasion from external forces.
Now that the bells of defense are ringing, it means that we must fulfill our responsibilities and protect this world and all the people in it!"
More and more Qiankunmen monks gathered near the boundary-guarding bell that made the sound, and looked at the guardian artifact with serious expressions.
The leader of the Qiankun Sect appeared, followed by twelve elders, each holding a rune sword.
The twelve swords were extremely sharp, emitting a terrifying aura. At this moment, they made bursts of buzzing sounds, as if they were about to fly out of the scabbards in the next second.
“The ringing of the boundary guarding bell indicates that a powerful enemy from outside the realm has invaded, and a catastrophe is about to occur in the Haoyue Realm.
The twelve evil-slaying swords responded with a buzzing sound in their sword cases, eager to slay the evil demons from other worlds.
Now I declare that all the cultivators of Qiankun Sect must form a team and go down the mountain within one day.
Led by twelve elders, each carrying a sword to slay evil, they headed to the twelve continents of the Haoyue Realm.
Kill the evil invaders, protect the people of Haoyue Realm, and fulfill the glorious mission of Qiankunmen! "
The Qiankun Sect monks present shouted to slay demons and monsters, vowing to protect the peace of the Haoyue Realm.
The leader of the Qiankun Sect personally sent a letter to inform all major sects in the cultivation world to let them know about this huge event.
At the same time, we also ask for assistance from all parties to find the traces of the invading evil demons and do our best to kill them.
This matter does not affect personal interests, but the safety of the entire world. Once the situation gets out of control, all practitioners in the Haoyue Realm will be affected.
With the assistance of all the major sects, searching for evil demons from other worlds will become much easier and smoother.
In a short period of time, letters spread everywhere, and the atmosphere in the Haoyue Realm gradually became tense.
-
The changes that occurred in the Qiankun Sect only affected the practitioners and have not yet affected ordinary people.
The small town on the edge of the desert was also not affected, and the construction of the dyeing workshop was still in progress.
With the financial rewards in place, construction continued day and night, and the dyeing room was built at a very fast pace.
After seven days, not only was the site cleared, but the foundation of the house was also built.
The carpenters and bricklayers in the city have now got job opportunities and are also working day and night.
A newly built dyeing house actually boosted the economy of the entire town and brought smiles to the faces of many city dwellers.
Another happy thing is that there has not been a strong wind in the recent period, and no dust has fallen into the city.
There has never been such a thing in the past few decades, which makes the residents of the city feel mixed.
They are all hoping that the wind and sand will stop blowing so that they will not be forced to move.
But I am also worried that this sunny weather will only last for a short time and the weather will change again soon.
The higher the expectations, the greater the pain. After enduring for decades, the city residents no longer have much hope.
But they still hoped that the good weather could last longer, at least to finish building this dyeing house. Such money-making opportunities were not common on weekdays, and if the sandstorm started, they would definitely be forced to stop construction.
If you delay for one day, you will lose money for one day.
Don't underestimate this income, it is of great significance to the residents in the city.
The residents of the city were saving money so that they could get a certificate from the government and stay away from this place that made them nostalgic and painful.
Although it is hard to leave one's hometown, in order to survive, one has no choice but to leave.
In an environment with inconvenient transportation, leaving may mean a farewell forever, and there may never be a day to return home.
On this day, as the camel caravan returned, a group of officials followed closely.
The officer who was usually arrogant was now cautious, stealing glances at a man and a woman in the team from time to time.
Both men had pale complexions and were wearing exquisite robes made of an unknown material, with a faint fluorescent glow.
With a long sword on his back, he has an extraordinary temperament and is incompatible with the mortals around him.
The man and woman were monks. They came to the government office holding royal tokens and demanded that local officials fully cooperate with the investigation.
The imperial court that runs this place was established with the support of practitioners, and they would certainly not dare to be perfunctory about the sect's orders.
Mortals already have awe and fear of monks, and with the royal token, they naturally obey their orders all the way.
This pair of male and female monks came from a third-rate sect nearby and had just received the news not long ago.
The Monks' Alliance issued a directive, requiring all major sects to immediately check the areas under their control to determine if any abnormal situations had occurred.
Those who can handle it should handle it immediately, and those who cannot handle it should report it immediately, and a higher-level monk will take over.
This order is of the highest level and must be implemented with all our strength. No perfunctory attitude is allowed.
After receiving the order, the monks of the local sect took immediate action and went to different locations to conduct a thorough investigation.
This pair of male and female monks were responsible for checking the nearby towns, most of which were located near the desert.
The previous exploration of the city did not yield any results, but instead suffered from the invasion of sandstorms.
The two monks secretly groaned, but did not dare to withdraw on their own. This was an important task assigned by the sect, and the sect master would be responsible for reviewing it personally after they returned.
Once a problem occurs, it will not be as simple as a scolding, you may even be expelled from the mountain.
This is not alarmist talk, but what the sect master said himself, with the purpose of warning those monks in the sect who try to do things perfunctorily.
Perform your mission well and don't rely on anything, otherwise you will have to bear all the consequences.
Looking at the dilapidated town ahead, everyone couldn't help but frown.
Decades ago, this place was a land with abundant grass and water, and outside the city were herds of cattle and sheep.
The city has a large population, and people are coming and going on the roads, transporting all kinds of supplies.
Since the sandstorm, the situation here has been getting worse and worse, and the number of residents has been decreasing.
If not driven by orders and not to miss any place, no one would be willing to come here.
On the way to the city, we happened to encounter a camel caravan carrying a large amount of supplies.
After asking, we learned that some foreign merchants had built a dyeing workshop and the transport team had already made two trips back and forth.
It was a town that was about to be deserted. The residents were trying every possible way to escape, and all the existing dyeing houses had been relocated or closed down.
Under such circumstances, it does seem a bit abnormal that some people would actually build a new dyeing room.
I heard that Tang Zhen is a rich young man from the capital, who ran to the borderland to prove his ability.
This incident was indeed bizarre, but it made people more suspicious, especially at this critical juncture, which made the two sect monks and the yamen runners extra vigilant.
If there really is a problem with this town on the edge of the desert, it would be truly unfortunate.
It is a good thing to make achievements and receive awards, but it also depends on whether you have the blessing. Otherwise, it will be a calamity rather than a blessing.
Making such a big fuss could not be a small matter and must be hiding deadly danger.
When the waves are huge, if a sampan is caught in it, it will surely be smashed to pieces.
