This time, it wasn't just ordinary disciples who were affected, but the elite disciples that the sects were focused on cultivating. This obvious attempt to strangle the future of the sects, coupled with the previous lesson, quickly drew the attention of the sect leaders. At the second gathering of the sects, where once again, no good solution was found, everyone finally decided to temporarily hide their elite disciples and ordered them not to leave the sect gates.

As a result, this momentum was temporarily stabilized until half a month later, at the third gathering, when the sect leaders were completely unsettled, even showing signs of breaking down.

Because this incident had already affected the elder-level leaders, though the victims' strength was not particularly outstanding.

Yet, in less than two months, the victims had gone from ordinary disciples to sect elders, and if no measures were taken, fear would pervade everyone, let alone any talk of development expansion!

Misfortunes never come singly, and coincidentally, conflicts among small and medium-sized sects also began to escalate, even uniting to target some powerful old sects.

The reason, surprisingly, was that they claimed they had been attacked by disciples of the top sects.

This left the top sects confused and perplexed; clearly, their sect gates had been tightly closed recently, even the elders couldn't go out freely, so how could anyone have gone out to attack you?!

Moreover, what would be the benefit and motivation of doing so?

Disbelieving, the top sects formed a specialized investigation team to inspect the situation, only to be horrified to find that those attacked were indeed using their own sect's cultivation techniques and methods.

This was undeniable, after all, a sect that could grow and thrive had its own unique cultivation techniques, and even the way of attack and the inflicted wounds had their own unique marks.

Amidst the headaches of the sect leaders, a sect named Celestial Demon Stronghold quietly rose and expanded.

This sect was indeed quite distinctive because they had no fixed cultivation techniques, practicing an eclectic mix of characteristics from various sects, yet each was slightly different.

Until, when the sects sent personnel to participate in the investigation and discovered that the other side was practicing a kind of Evil Technique called Soul Searching Technique.

Once this cultivation technique was exerted, it could obtain all the memories of the one on whom the technique was cast, and naturally, the practiced cultivation techniques as well.

At this point, all previous incidents could be explained. At that time, the Celestial Punishment Daoist, who was barely in his twenties, had the opportunity to witness the downfall of Celestial Demon Stronghold with his master and was naturally one of the knowledgeable ones.

Later, the Soul Searching Technique of the Celestial Demon Stronghold was shared and sealed among the participating sects, with a mutual agreement that if anyone spread this Evil Technique externally, or used it privately for evil deeds, they would face united retaliation.

Thus, the Soul Searching Technique was only circulated among the top sect leaders, yet no one dared to use it on a large scale!

The Celestial Punishment Daoist, who clearly knew the origin and power of the Soul Searching Technique, naturally did not want Yun You to prove his innocence and become a fool for life.

Although he was indeed furious before and almost wanted to use the Soul Searching Technique on Yun You to reshape him, that was merely a moment of anger!

...

"Celestial Punishment, look at what your disciple is doing. To prove his innocence he is willing to accept even the Soul Searching Technique, yet you continue to deny and shirk responsibility. What qualifications do you have to be an elder?!"

Seeing the mocking smile on Saintly Sea Daoist's face, the tone of Celestial Punishment Daoist became increasingly calm, while his eyes grew colder: "Since you're seeking death yourself, don't blame me then!"

As Celestial Punishment Daoist spoke, the two brothers, Daoist Lei Tong behind him, had already been charged up and instantly unleashed an attack like a lightning bolt, suddenly appearing behind Saintly Sea Daoist.

With threats from both sides, Saintly Sea Daoist's face suddenly grew solemn, seeing he had defended against Celestial Punishment Daoist's Sword Momentum, but there was no protection behind him.

The elite disciples couldn't even react in time, let alone help defend him!

Just as Saintly Sea Daoist was risking serious injury to strike back at Celestial Punishment Daoist, a golden light flickered and instantly appeared in front of Daoist Lei Tong, effortlessly blocking the pair's strike with a light laugh.

"Outnumbered, rogue to the core, truly the style of the Kunlun Sect!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, the Lei Tong brothers and Celestial Punishment Daoist all had serious expressions, while an obvious look of astonishment appeared on Saintly Sea Daoist's face…

——

As the mocking voice fell, a dwarf, looking like a child dressed in children's clothes, appeared behind Sun Bo and others. There was no need to guess; the newcomer was Isaac.

Upon seeing Isaac for the first time, Sun Bo and others involuntarily paused in their steps, then stood petrified as if turned to stone, unable to say a word.

Even Ghost Face and Lin Bingxuan were taken aback, exclaiming it to be too... bizarre?!

Seeing Lin Bingxuan's unusual reaction, Melinda held her hand for comfort, recalling her own similar reaction the first time she saw Isaac.

Ghost Face, on the other hand, could finally understand why, back then, both Melinda and Xiao Tian had said he wouldn't want to know or meet him. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

This was a person barely one meter tall, with a shiny bald head and skin on his face showing a morbid white spot, resembling a Dalmatian.

What could be barely called fingers were as thick as chopsticks, and one foot was inverted, even slightly cross-eyed.

Even though Xiao Tian had seen him once, he was still overwhelmed by this strong visual impact, let alone the villagers who had never seen Isaac before.

Placing an arm around Lin Bingxuan and Melinda to shield their eyes, Xiao Tian asked, "Did the medicine I gave you work?"

"Medicine?" Isaac pondered for a moment, then began to shiver uncontrollably and gritted his teeth, saying, "It was you?! Jiang Kaishan, no! You're the Hunter?!"

"It seems you have quite the memory!" Xiao Tian nodded in approval, "How about it? Would you like me to prescribe you another course of treatment?"

At this time, Sun Bo and the others finally came to their senses, and one of them couldn't withstand the stimulation, clutching his chest and staggering two steps back, and was luckily caught by someone nearby, preventing a tragedy.

Lin Bingxuan finally calmed down, seeing a villager on the ground convulsing with a heart attack, she gently flicked her fair finger, sending a trace of energy to calm him.

For ordinary people, too much pure energy at once was unbearable, but Lin Bingxuan could precisely provide the right amount of energy with a wave of her hand, demonstrating considerable progress in the Endless Life technique.

After calming the crowd's tumult, Andrew and others, upon seeing Isaac, spurred with newfound energy, appeared exceptionally vigorous, as if injected with adrenaline.

Looking at Isaac, seemingly shocked by an electric shock, Xiao Tian smiled slightly: "Looks like you're going to rely on this to make money and continue buying the second course of medication?"
