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.

Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress?

esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ...

His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
