Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 1477 - 1514: Advanced Array Formation

At this moment, Ding Fan saw this scene and couldn't help but feel a great shock in his heart, clearly not expecting the opponents and their group to start fighting among themselves. This was simply a bit too unbelievable! The sound of battle was deafening, and the entire valley was shaking. After all, these were battles among Spirit Severing or Tribulation stage Cultivators, clearly not ordinary beings.

Ding Fan couldn't help but frown tightly, clearly not expecting that the Thirty-Six Caves would start fighting because of the Wild Wolf Gang. Ding Fan also clearly heard the conversations among several Cultivators. At this moment, Ding Fan couldn't help but start to suspect that the Wild Wolf Gang was behind this. Clearly, Ding Fan could hear that the Wild Wolf Gang seemed to have done a lot of work on some of the Sect leaders in the Thirty-Six Caves, and many of these leaders had already been bribed by the Wild Wolf Gang.

A trace of painful expression surfaced in Ding Fan's heart; clearly, this detestable Wild Wolf Gang had already caused the Thirty-Six Caves to split apart at this time. This was simply too despicable!

At this moment, not only did Ding Fan realize this. Long Ren, seeing the scene in the valley, could clearly see that many Sect leaders in the Thirty-Six Caves had even been bribed by the Wild Wolf Gang. Long Ren couldn't help but frown, clearly not expecting that his momentary carelessness had allowed the Wild Wolf Gang to exploit the opportunity. Long Ren's mood was obviously very bad.

At this moment, Elder Xi was still by Long Ren's side, looking at the scene below, and Elder Xi couldn't help but wear a gloomy expression. Clearly, this was the first time such a thing had happened in the history of the Thirty-Six Caves, and it was because of that Wild Wolf Gang. Elder Xi, feeling somewhat at a loss, looked at Long Ren and asked:

"Lake Master, what shall we do now?"

"I didn't expect the Wild Wolf Gang to act so quickly. The situation of the Thirty-Six Caves is not optimistic... Wait!"

At this moment, while speaking to Elder Xi, Long Ren couldn't help but sense that there was something inexplicable approaching them, and he couldn't help but say nervously.

Elder Xi heard the Lake Master's words and froze for a moment, then immediately released his Divine Sense and couldn't help but frown with worry as he said:

"There is a Formation! And it's already activated!"

"Indeed!"

Long Ren nodded with a very serious expression. Clearly, Long Ren also sensed that the valley had been set up with a Formation, and as these Thirty-Six Cave leaders fought, the Formation had already been completed. Long Ren couldn't help but frown tightly again, clearly very shocked, understanding that getting out of here wouldn't be an easy task.

Rumble!

A loud noise echoed through the valley.

At this moment, the Sect leaders of the Thirty-Six Caves froze for a moment, stopping their attacks on each other, and let out their Divine Sense to observe the nearby situation...

"There is an Imprisonment Array Formation! It's the Wild Wolf Gang!"

The Sect leader who first discovered a member of the Wild Wolf Gang couldn't help but exclaim loudly.

At this moment, everyone heard the Cultivator's words and froze for a moment, not expecting that the location of this Thirty-Six Caves gathering had been discovered by the Wild Wolf Gang's Cultivators, and a Formation had already been set up. Clearly, they were very angry, knowing that the Thirty-Six Caves was the most mysterious existence. All the Sect leaders of the Thirty-Six Caves knew this, and under no circumstances should this gathering place of the Thirty-Six Caves be told to anyone.

Otherwise, the consequences would be very severe, and even the Sects among themselves didn't know each other; they only remembered what the others looked like and knew each other's cultivation level. Everything else was kept secret from one another. Clearly, only the Thirty-Six Sect leaders had met the Lake Master Long Ren.

Even the Sect disciples of these leaders didn't know that their Sect was a member of the Thirty-Six Caves. Clearly, everything was kept secret; everything was mysterious. This was the trump card of the Thirty-Six Caves, so if anything major happened in the Cultivation World, their mystery was the Thirty-Six Caves' greatest trump card and would be the ultimate winner.

Thus, this was the rule of the Thirty-Six Caves, so every gathering of the Thirty-Six Caves was the most mysterious existence, and also the highest secret of the Thirty-Six Caves. No one would ever know the place of the Thirty-Six Caves' annual gathering. After all, the Donglai Continent is not an ordinary place. It wasn't difficult for just over thirty people to choose a rather concealed location.

Just like this valley, which was clearly an extremely concealed existence, there were no inhabitants within a radius of several hundred kilometers. But no one expected that the Wild Wolf Gang would discover this place and had already set up a Formation. This was simply the greatest humiliation in the hundreds of years of the Thirty-Six Caves, and many of the Thirty-Six Sect leaders couldn't help but feel furious and shout loudly:

"Don't let me find out which traitor leaked the secret, or I will surely cripple him!"

"Damn it, the reputation of the Thirty-Six Caves built over hundreds of years is about to be destroyed! I will kill that traitor!"

"Lake Master, you must not let this traitor go! We must annihilate them entirely! Leave no one alive!"

"That's right! That's right!"

...

In an instant, almost all of these Thirty-Six Cultivators exploded in anger. Clearly, the highest secret of the Thirty-Six Caves had been leaked. How could there be any trump card left? Knowing that this was a rule passed down over hundreds of years, how could they not be furious that it had been betrayed like this!

"Do you still recognize me as the Lake Master!"

At this moment, Long Ren's face was extremely grim, filled with anger in his eyes, sweeping the crowd with a severe gaze. Clearly, Long Ren was the most furious of all, not expecting that his gathering place would be discovered by the cultivators of the Wild Wolf Gang, who even set up a formation. Evidently, it wasn't just the Wild Wolf Gang's luck that led them here; someone must have betrayed them.

Although many of the cave masters of the Thirty-Six Caves had been persuaded by the Wild Wolf Gang, hoping their sects could take refuge with the gang, most of them dared not reveal such top secrets to the Wild Wolf Gang. They knew the consequences; the Thirty-Six Caves appeared calm, rarely making an appearance in the Cultivation World.

However, whenever the Thirty-Six Caves did appear, it was surely a bloody storm, silently exterminating enemies right at their doorsteps, often within a single night, without leaving a trace, whether it was a person, a city, or a powerful sect. This is the most mysterious and formidable aspect of the Thirty-Six Caves.

Imagine the fate of traitors; undoubtedly, they would be exterminated! Root and branch, even if it were a powerful sect, it could be completely wiped out in one night! And the news wouldn't even spread out until several months later, when people realized that the sect had been annihilated!

Dealing with traitors would undoubtedly be more severe than this!

Among the thirty-six cultivators at this moment, one of them couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but tried to maintain an angry facade like the others. Apparently, he was feeling guilty. Seeing that no cultivators nearby were paying attention to him, he breathed a sigh of relief, but the fear in his heart clearly still lingered, given what he'd done inevitably brought unease.

Boom boom boom...

At this moment, loud explosions echoed throughout the canyon, leaving everyone shocked at the sight. Everyone could feel the nearby formation's strength; clearly, the Wild Wolf Gang came prepared this time.

This time, Long Ren witnessed the scene and calmly addressed the crowd:

"Now, give it your all to break the formation, and put on your masks. Our Thirty-Six Caves can't have its trump card so easily exposed!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

...

For a moment, many of the Spirit Severing Cultivators heard Long Ren's words and immediately wore their masks, then began relentlessly attacking the formation overhead. The assaults were thundering, as expected from Spirit Severing Cultivators. But shockingly, no matter how elder cultivators attacked the formation above, it would only ripple, showing no sign of breaking.

Everyone was astonished, realizing that they hadn't expected the opponent's formation to be this formidable. Even with so many Spirit Severing or Tribulation stage Cultivators, they couldn't break the Imprisonment Array Formation. It was almost unbelievable!

However, Ding Fan understood that this was a normal situation. He had been searching for the formation's heart for a long time without success. Ding Fan knew that to break this formation, one must attack the formation's heart, which he had some knowledge of. Although his array-setting skills were lacking, his powerful Divine Sense typically allowed him to easily locate the formation's heart and break it.

But at present, despite having released his Divine Sense for some time, Ding Fan still couldn't find the formation's heart, underscoring the formation's power. He knew one could gauge a formation's strength by finding its heart; the difficulty this time indicated a very high-rank formation.

At this moment, Long Ren spotted Ding Fan's location and walked over to him, apologetically addressing him as:

"I'm sorry, big brother, for dragging you into this..."

"No, as long as it's dealing with the Wild Wolf Gang, it's my business too."

Ding Fan promptly replied to Long Ren, clearly understanding that the plight of the Thirty-Six Caves was all due to the Wild Wolf Gang. And since it's also his brother's matter, he couldn't neglect it; he must be involved.

At this moment, some cultivators couldn't help but notice the interaction between Long Ren and Ding Fan. Several of them had their eyes shift subtly and then said:

"Could it be him who leaked our location?"

"Hmm?"

...

The moment this cultivator spoke, it drew quite a few others over, prompting everyone to begin doubting. The previously guilty cultivator seized the opportunity and loudly shouted:

"It must be him who leaked our location!"
