The white-robed youth retracted the viscous blue light, casually stowed away the black-bearded elder's copper mirror and storage magic tool, and continued to rush toward the next Foundation Establishnt Cultivator of Biluo Cave.
"This person is exceedingly formidable!" Even though it was the second ti he saw the other's techniques, Yuan Ming couldn't help but inwardly exclaim in astonishnt.
Due to the ergence of this youth and his incredibly bizarre thods, the nearby Foundation Establishnt Cultivators of Biluo Cave all harbored apprehension, starting to be distracted and didn't dare to give their full effort, while the Qi Refining Stage Cultivators, out of fear, also began to fight while retreating.
On the contrary, the morale of the Dawn Alliance soared, and their offensive was as swift and forceful as a tide.
At this mont, the battle situation was delicate; pulling one hair would move the whole body, causing the entire defensive line of Biluo Cave to begin to falter.
Just then, a beam of white light shot from afar, arriving instantly at the gate, revealing a burly figure of a black-bearded elder, none other than the Second Cave Master.
Without a word, he raised his hand and waved, a beam of arm-thick green light landed next to the gate on the ground, sinking into it.
The ground there thunderously vibrated, erupting with an astonishing mana fluctuation from beneath, but it quickly dissipated and vanished.
Seeing this scene, everyone nearby was filled with uncertainty.
Unable to take down the Great Cave Master in a short ti and unsure of the Second Cave Master's intentions, Ou Ji and Xue Zhan exchanged glances then simultaneously withdrew from the battle.
"Are you ready?" The Great Cave Master, slightly out of breath, felt a surge of joy in his heart and asked through spiritual voice transmission.
"All seven Array Eye Stone Pillars have been activated, and we can mobilize the Sect Protection Array at any mont," replied the Second Cave Master through spiritual voice transmission.
"Good, deploy the array imdiately!" The Great Cave Master's eyes shone brightly.
"So Qi Refining disciples have fought their way far from here, and the Sect Protection Array might not cover them. Should we order the disciples to regroup before deploying the array?" the Second Cave Master hesitated montarily before asking through spiritual voice transmission.
"There's no ti to worry about that! Xue Zhan may be one thing, but Ou Ji is exceedingly astute. Any action now will only add variables. Deploy the array first. For the sake of Biluo Cave's foundation, sacrificing so Qi Refining disciples is of no consequence!" the Great Cave Master coldly transmitted back.
The Second Cave Master, upon hearing this, said no more, flipped his hand out a green disc, engraved with complex runes, and started to trigger it.
The ground near the gate shook, and a black stone platform quickly erged from the place where the surge of mana had burst forth, its entire body carved with countless runes and lines, emanating a piercing green light.
Elder Chu Xiong of the Execution Hall shot out and landed on the platform, his body also emitting streaks of green light, resonating with the platform's glow.
His hands quickly ford seals, green light on the stone pillar swiftly gathered, and in the blink of an eye, it transford into a green beam of light that shot straight into the sky.
Almost simultaneously, six other beams of heaven-reaching green light rose from other directions around Biluo Cave, each beam also emanating from a stone platform, with each one guarded by a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator of Biluo Cave.
These seven beams of light ford a ring, enclosing the entire Biluo Cave, including part of the rear mountain.
"Go!" The Second Cave Master in mid-air waved his hand, and the green disc in front of him shot up into the sky at a trendous speed, reaching a great height in the blink of an eye.
With a thunderous "boom", the green disc burst forth with blinding green light, too dazzling to look at directly, resembling a small green sun.
The seven heaven-reaching beams of light attracted by the green disc all bent towards it, rging into the small green sun.
The Second Cave Master's fingers danced quickly forming seals, a green light screen emanated from the disc, sliding down along the seven curved beams of light, seeming to form a huge hemispherical light screen that would encompass the entire Biluo Cave Sect, with the seven stone platforms marking its boundaries.
The green light screen descended rapidly, soon about to completely reach the ground.
Seeing this, the disciples of Biluo Cave outside the gate hurriedly rushed toward the inside.
Being left outside the green light screen was definitely a road to death.
At this mont, Yuan Ming was still entangled with the tall thin man, far from the gate. Seeing this, he urgently recalled his Nine-Ring Gold Saber, too dashed toward the inside of the gate.
"Don't run!" Seeing this, the tall thin man, while urging his Black Shuttle Magic Tool to chase, also shot a green rope magic tool from his sleeve targeting Yuan Ming's legs.
Yuan Ming, not looking back, swung his hand in the air, releasing two streams of white Sword Qi which accurately struck the Black Shuttle and the green rope, causing them to pause montarily, unable to continue the chase.
Yuan Ming spurred his jade belt and further employed the Shadowless Step Technique. His entire person sped up, and in the next mont, he appeared at the gate, flying in.
A shadow, only a half-step slower than him, also dashed into the gate, it was Wulu.
Continuously, a few more disciples retreated back through the gate, and with a loud "boom", the green light screen touched down on the ground, forming the Sect Protection Array like a huge overturned bowl, leaving many disciples who had not managed to get inside isolated outside!
The Dawn Alliance had already been prevailing, but suddenly a light screen separated them from the Biluo Cave disciples, instantly losing their advantageous position, filling them with both shock and rage, and they fiercely struck the light screen with various magic tools, causing only mild vibration where the green light screen was hit.
Ou Ji and Xue Zhan also descended from midair, hovering in front of the green light screen.
With their Divine Skills, it would not have been difficult to enter the green light screen's interior just monts ago, but it was far too dangerous for just the two of them; they would have been surrounded and dood on the spot by Biluo Cave.
Ou Ji raised one hand and snapped his fingers, launching a thick black Divine Thunder towards the green light screen, producing an explosive sound akin to a thunderclap.
This was Kui Water Divine Thunder, a Divine Skill that could only be perford by those who had reached an advanced level in Water System Techniques.
The green light screen vibrated intensely, the area hit by the water thunder noticeably thinned out by a significant amount.
But the surrounding green light quickly converged once again, and the green light screen was restored in a matter of breaths.
Ou Ji raised an eyebrow, lowered his arm, and ordered sternly, "The opponent's Sect Protection Array is already in place, but it is not impregnable. Everyone heed my command and attack with all your might!"
Upon hearing this, the mbers of the Dawn Alliance nearby unfolded various thods and struck with all their strength.
For a mont, a myriad of magic artifacts, spirit beasts, and refining corpses were unceasingly summoned into use.
The Dawn Alliance mbers hailed from complex backgrounds, possessing a vast array of attack thods, including Divine Skills and secret techniques from the Five Sects of the Southern Border and even other areas of the Southern Border.
Amid the "rumbling" sounds of explosions, bursts of multicolored light continuously detonated on the surface of the green light screen, generating ripples of various colors that intensified the vibrations in the air.
Inside the Sect Protection Array, the disciples, feeling the fierce assaults from the Dawn side, all wore tense expressions and were left uneasy.
anwhile, a few Dawn mbers who had montarily followed inside were imdiately surrounded and killed by the Biluo Cave Disciples.
Yuan Ming, who had been holding the Heart-splitting Bomb in his hand all this ti, put it away and looked toward Wulu. Seeing his heaving chest and grave expression, it was clear he hadn't recovered from his earlier tension.
He then looked beyond the array, where the Biluo Cave Disciples who hadn't managed to escape inside were utterly powerless below the concentrated attacks of the Dawn Organization mbers.
Seeing that they were isolated outside by the array, more and more individuals began to surrender, ceasing their resistance. The fighters from the Dawn confiscated their storage bags and placed a type of circlet magic artifact on each captive's head and neck.
Those inside the Sect Protection Array could only watch helplessly, continuing to rely on the defense of the great array to cope with the enemy's attacks.
Fortunately, this Sect Protection Array was fairly robust. Despite the incessant bombings that shook it trendously, causing the ground to quake continuously, it never collapsed.
"What's going on, why hasn't the auxiliary array outside the Sect responded?" Elder Chu Xiong, guarding a part of the array, looked toward the distant exterior of the light screen and could not help but frown.
"Is that even a question? It must have been tampered with secretly long ago." Elder Saren, who had co here to support, frowned and responded after a mont.
"Impossible, we have continuously strengthened patrols. If the outside auxiliary arrays were damaged, it would definitely be discovered," Elder Chu Xiong said, finding it hard to believe.
"The cause must be investigated after this matter ends," Elder Saren replied with a grave expression. The canonical source for this content: *.
Upon hearing the conversation between the two, Yuan Ming's expression imdiately grew complex.
He suddenly recalled that during the hunt for the Human Demon King, he and Chen Wan had followed a possibly spiritually intelligent Human Demon into an underground cave.
There, he had seen an ancient stele, about six feet tall, engraved with the characters "Hu Shou."
At that ti, he didn't know what it was, but now recalling the patterns on it, they were clearly runes of an Array, likely the auxiliary array outside the Sect ntioned by Elder Saren.
With the protection of the Sect Protection Array, those disciples who had retreated back to the mountain gate by chance, felt as if they had a new lease on life when they saw the array couldn't be breached. They were all beaming, having completely forgotten about the countless disciples stranded outside the mountain gate.
Regardless of what others thought, any remaining debt of gratitude Yuan Ming felt for Biluo Cave dissolved at that mont.
All he wanted was to rush back to the Fire Refining Hall to see the situation there.
If there was any place left in the entire Biluo Cave that he still cared about, it would be there.
After making up his mind, Yuan Ming decided not to stay here any longer. He shifted his gaze to Wulu and intended to call him to leave together.
But at that mont, he noticed that Wulu had already turned around and was walking towards the inside of the Sect.
"Wulu, the situation is critical this ti. I fear that without the Great Elder's intervention, we cannot wrap this up. It might be better if we look after each other. But you go ahead and leave, I still have so things to take care of," Yuan Ming hurriedly caught up and whispered.
Turning to look at him, Wulu smiled faintly, gave Yuan Ming a knowing wink, and said.
Yuan Ming, upon hearing this, slightly frowned and gave Wulu a deep look, then imdiately turned and left.
As Yuan Ming walked a good distance away, the smile on Wulu's face gradually faded, and his expression turned serious again.
He walked slowly toward an elder and suddenly spoke in a voice so low that only the two of them could hear, "Son, kneel down and call 'Dad,' and I'll spare your worthless life."
The provoked elder angrily reached out to strangle Wulu.
But Wulu, as if he had been suddenly slapped, tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and flew backward.
In mid-air, his hands flailed above and below in an uncontrollable manner.
"So, you are the traitor!" Wulu shouted loudly, his voice resonating like thunder on a clear day.
Upon hearing the shout, Yuan Ming turned to see the scene and couldn't help but be startled.
The surrounding Biluo Cave Disciples were even more baffled, their attention previously focusing solely on the enemy's attack on the Sect Protection Array, clueless to what had transpired.
However, Elder Saren and Elder Chu Xiong were the first to react, frowning as they looked this way.
