Chapter 399: 214

The next day, early in the morning, Men Cang led a group of trusted followers to leave. Before he left, his eyes were full of reluctance. He knew that this departure was a permanent one, and he might never return for the rest of his life.

Only if one day his cultivation could reach the Dominator Realm, and he could disregard his enemies, might he come back for a visit. However, he understood his limitations; his cultivation aptitude was dull, and it was not easy for him to reach the Power of the Throne already. Reaching the Dominator Realm was completely out of his reach.

Logan was cultivating when he was awakened by Ba Ke Yun: “A day has passed, and Men Cang hasn’t sent any resources. Instead, he sent someone to deliver a letter. I think you should open it and see what it says.”

Logan had already expected something like this to happen, so he was not surprised. After reading the letter, he understood that Men Cang had left with a group of people, and the majority of the remaining people decided to defend the sect to the death.

“Interesting. With the strongest Throne-level person of the sect gone, what’s left is a ragtag group of people. Are they really seeking their death? Since they don’t take us seriously, I’ll personally pay a visit to the Kuang Quan Sect.”

Logan’s eyes were sharp, and Ba Ke Yun was also enraged. They felt like they had been wasting their time waiting for a whole day. If they had known this earlier, they should have gone to the Kuang Quan Sect to show their strength yesterday.

Using their divine powers, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the Kuang Quan Sect in about an hour. Just as Ba Ke Yun was about to step into the sect, Logan grabbed him and noticed something strange.

“Something’s not right. There are strong spiritual fluctuations around here, and the rules in the air are also surging. This is an array, and judging by the intensity of the rules, it must have cost at least a thousand Spirit Stones; otherwise, it could not be constructed.”

Logan smiled faintly, looking interested: “No wonder they’re so confident. They set up a protective array. It’s just a bit far-fetched to think that this array alone can stop us. Let’s see how I break it.”

As long as there’s an array, there must be flaws. To test it first, Logan threw a stone into it. In an instant, a divine power emerged, shattering the stone in one blow.

He continued to throw more than a dozen stones, and divine powers emerged from all directions. Not a single stone escaped unscathed, making Logan marvel at the strength of the array. It was not something ordinary people could set up, but he also noticed that the array was more form than substance.

Simply put, the person who set up the array had studied it for a long time but had not grasped its essence. The array was put together by drawing a gourd, meaning it couldn’t exhibit endless variations. As long as a person could master its operating rules, they could walk right in and break it.

Logan instructed Ba Ke Yun: “Continuously throw stones from different directions and determine which one won’t be attacked. If there’s no such direction, test the array’s limit. As long as the array creator is not in the Dominating Realm, the array must have a strength limit.”

“Understood.” Ba Ke Yun nodded. Meanwhile, Logan left, making preparations in case the array couldn’t be cracked, and they had to enter the sect through other means. He didn’t believe that the entire array would cover the sect; there must be a broken entrance somewhere.

After 15 minutes, Ba Ke Yun was exhausted: “I’ve tried everything. I found that once more than thirty stones were thrown and each stone was thrown from a different direction, one of the stones wouldn’t be attacked.”

“The array’s attack limit is thirty. Once it exceeds thirty, the array cannot quickly mobilize spiritual power to counterattack. There should only be a two-breath interval; any longer and it will still be attacked. And there are mechanisms on the ground; the moment a stone touches the ground, it’s swallowed.”

“Let me think.” After hearing Ba Ke Yun’s answer, Logan fell silent, contemplating how to crack the array. With their divine powers and movement techniques, actually, one breath’s time was enough, but if there were other means within the array, it could put the two of them in a passive situation.

After a long time, Logan had a flash of inspiration: “Got it! Instead of trying to crack the array, we can break the Spirit Stones. Once the Spirit Stones are gone, the array will lose its power source and won’t be able to attack. You said the array’s attack limit is thirty, so it should be in thirty different positions.”

“Generally speaking, the lowest part of each position is where the person who set up the array placed the Spirit Stones. When you go in, the moment you land, strike down at your feet first. If the position is correct and you can break the Spirit Stone, switch your footing if it’s not.”

After giving his instructions, Logan stepped into the array first. As soon as the divine power of the array attacked, Logan crushed it with his foot. But the array remained intact, so Logan took another step forward. After trying several more times, Logan finally crushed a Spirit Stone.

Ba Ke Yun followed Logan’s example, moving within the array. The stronger the attack of the array, the more it seemed that the thirty divine powers were targeting Logan and Ba Ke Yun, trying to crush them. However, their strength was indeed formidable, and they destroyed several positions within a minute.

After a while, the array let out a cracking sound and shattered. A large number of Spirit Stones had been crushed, destroying the overall layout of the array and causing the remaining Spirit Stones to backlash. By now, the array was useless; it was as good as a pile of scrap metal.

Logan laughed loudly, his voice spreading for miles: “How about that? The array of the Kuang Quan Sect isn’t that impressive. Are all your disciples hiding? Can’t even come out to greet your guests when they arrive?”

“How can this be?” An elderly man stepped forward, followed by thousands of disciples, all wielding weapons and looking aggressive. Everyone knew that a powerful enemy had arrived, and there would definitely be a life-and-death battle today.

The elderly man couldn’t understand how the array, which he had carefully studied, could be so easily broken. It didn’t even last an hour before it was defeated in front of Logan and Ba Ke Yun. This gave him a great sense of frustration, as if he had wasted decades of his life.

“To be honest, if we just wanted to crack the array, I believe Ba Ke Yun and I could have gone through it unharmed in less than a minute. It took an hour just to destroy it.”

Logan spoke the truth. After all, the other party had only drawn from a template, and the array had no soul. It was hard to look at, making him wonder where the opponent’s confidence came from. Did they think the array could stop the two of them? Could this array protect the entire Kuang Quan Sect?

The old man took a deep breath and said seriously, “We’ve reached this point, and both sides are at war. We know that you two are at the level of the Power of the Throne, but today, the thousand of us are willing to bet our lives on it. We don’t mind going down together, just to let you see the backbone and spirit of the Kuang Quan sect’s disciples.”

“Going down together?” Logan laughed at the remark. Was their confidence sheer arrogance based on their numbers? Sometimes, an absolute gap in the realm couldn’t be filled by numbers alone.
