The incident concerning the Seven Star Taoist Lord had driven the entire Xuanwu Sect into a sort of frenzy.
From the Supreme Elders down to those Inner Sect Disciples who believed they had no chance to escape,
everyone, feeling imperiled, no longer cared about the impact on their surroundings or the reputation of the sect.
The progress of the Blood Sacrifices in other regions was consequently hastened significantly.
Of course, with such haste, quite a few errors occurred.
There were always those exceptionally talented or those concealing life-saving trump cards among the outside world Cultivators who managed to escape to safety.
As a result, within just a few short days, rumors swirled... no, the truth spread throughout the Lower Realm that the Xuanwu Sect was colluding with demon beasts, deliberately plotting against the Cultivators of surrounding forces.
Facing this, the Xuanwu Sect righteously refuted these claims.
And offered considerable rewards for subsequent missions.
