157: Chapter 157: Mountain Protection Array 157: Chapter 157: Mountain Protection Array On the outskirts of the Withered Mountain Ridge, tens of thousands of warriors had gathered, each craning their necks to gaze at the interior of the ridge.
Lin Bai was also standing among the crowd, looking distantly at the mountain ridge.
On those towering peaks reaching into the cloud sky, Lin Bai saw many collapsed buildings and broken structures, each emanating a rich sense of history and vicissitudes.
“Big brother, why isn’t anyone going in?”
Lin Bai curiously tugged at a warrior near him and asked.
“You’re not aware, huh?
The relics of the Wind God Sect are separated by layers of magic formations.”
“We are currently standing on the peripheral area, the Mountain Protection Array of the Wind God Sect is right ahead.”
“Inside the Mountain Protection Array, there’s an outer gate formation.”
“Within the outer gate formation, there’s an inner gate formation.”
“Inside the inner gate formation, there’s a core formation.”
“Altogether four arrays divide the Wind God Sect into the mountain gate, outer gate, inner gate, and core — four areas.”
“Right now quite a few experts are trying to find a way in.”
The warrior responded, crossing his arms with keen interest.
“So, that’s the way it is.” Lin Bai suddenly understood.
The Wind God Sect, which had dominated the 700 states of Lingdong ten thousand years ago, was far more formidable than the Spirit Sword Sect.
The hierarchy was strictly segregated.
Without a special treasure to break the formations, the outer sect disciples would never be able to enter the inner gate.
This ensured the status and identity of the inner gate disciples, and encouraged the disciples to train harder, striving to reach the core area.
Not long after that, the Sword Alliance warriors who had spread out returned.
“You all know about the four major arrays, right?”
Fang Kong imdiately inford everyone about the situation when he returned.
Lin Bai also received this information.
“Well, now we just need to find a way into the Wind God Sect.”
Fang Kong said calmly.
“I’ll go and examine this Mountain Protection Array!” Lin Bai laughed and strode forward.
Lin Bai was very curious about the Wind God Sect’s Mountain Protection Array, since there was nothing like it in the Spirit Sword Sect.
After walking for a kiloter, Lin Bai suddenly bumped his head against what felt like a transparent glass wall.
Bang!
Lin Bai halted, taken aback, he slowly reached out in front of him to touch it.
“This Mountain Protection Array feels like an impenetrable piece of glass…I wonder if it can be shattered…”
While Lin Bai was mulling it over, he punched the Mountain Protection Array forcefully, which caused a deafening sound to echo.
The enormous shock startled the warriors nearby.
But the Mountain Protection Array in front of Lin Bai remained unmoved, without a ripple appearing.
“How is it?
Lin Bai, do you have any ideas?” Lijian Xing also walked over and asked.
“No, this Mountain Protection Array is incredibly tough.
Forget about us, even if a Divine Elixir Realm Warrior ca, they wouldn’t be able to break this array in a short ti.”
Lin Bai shook his head and silently responded.
“It seems like we can only wait for the formation experts to see if they can crack this Mountain Protection Array.” Lijian Xing said.
“But that’s only a temporary solution.
Inside this Mountain Protection Array, there are still the outer gate formation, inner gate formation, and core formation.”
“The real treasures of the Wind God Sect definitely won’t be stored in the outer gate, most likely they are in the core area.”
“If we wait for the formation experts to break the Mountain Protection Array, then after we enter, we have to wait for them to continue breaking the formations for us to keep moving forward.
If they betray us, we are done for.”
“To be controlled by others in this way doesn’t seem good.”
Lin Bai calmly analyzed the pros and cons.
“But we don’t have any other solutions right now.
To enter the relics of the Wind God Sect, we have to break this Mountain Protection Array.
There is no other way.” Lijian Xing said.
“I’m afraid it’s not necessarily so…” Lin Bai said with a mysterious smile.
Seeing Lin Bai’s strange smile, Lijian Xing asked out of curiosity: “Lin Bai, do you have a solution?”
“No.” Lin Bai smiled bitterly, “Wait here for a while.
I’ll take a look around to see if I can find the core of the Mountain Protection Array.”
“There are many people here, and it’s chaotic.
Be careful.” warned Lijian Xing.
“Okay!”
Lin Bai responded and then walked away.
Lijian Xing went back to his squad to figure out how to break the Mountain Protection Array.
Lin Bai walked step by step around the Mountain Protection Array, and half an hour later, he arrived at a cliff.
Standing at the edge of the cliff, Lin Bai composed himself and looked down into the depths below.
It was as dark as hell, as if a giant mouth was open, ready to devour all warriors who fell off the cliff.
“It seems like no one has been here.”
Lin Bai smirked, “The Mountain Protection Array isn’t open anyway, so I might as well go down and take a look.”
Lin Bai circulated his Body Protection True Qi and slowly glided down along the cliffside.
A mont later, he landed safely on the ground.
The ground was loose soil, with a soft, spongy feel under his feet.
“What’s this?”
As soon as he landed, Lin Bai felt sothing strange under his feet.
He imdiately slashed down with his sword, revealing what was hidden in the soil.
A set of white bones was uncovered by Lin Bai from the dirt.
“Looking at the bones, they must have been dead for at least a few hundred years.”
As Lin Bai observed the skeleton, he noticed a token on its waist.
He took the token and studied it closely.
The front of the token was inscribed with: “Wind God Sect.”
The back read: “Outer Sect Disciple, Chen Song.”
In the lower left corner of the back side, there was another line: “Outer Sect Disciple Token, free access to the Outer Region and Mountain Protection Array.”
“It’s a Wind God Sect Disciple Token!” Lin Bai exclaid in shock.
“With this token, I can enter the Mountain Protection Array and Outer Region.”
“So, if I find an Inner Gate token, I can enter the Inner Gate Area.”
“If I find a Core Token, I can enter the Core Area.”
Lin Bai was ecstatic.
If he could find a Core Token, he would be able to move freely throughout the Wind God Sect ruins.
Standing under the cliff, Lin Bai looked back.
A swath of silver glowworms had fallen to the ground, illuminating the expansive cliffside and revealing nurous skeletal remains.
“I better inform the Sword Alliance first.”
Hastily, Lin Bai flew up the cliff and hurried towards the Sword Alliance’s location.
“Lin Bai, I knew you would co!”
Lin Bai was in a hurry and passed through the crowd without noticing a white-robed woman who had seen him.
“So he’s Lin Bai, the top practitioner of the Outer Sect?”
A warrior next to the white-robed woman sneered.
Ye Suxin and Zhang Qun!
Zhang Qun, ranked seventy-two on the Inner Gate Top Hundred List, whose cultivation was sophisticated and at the Ninth Level of the Earth Martial Realm.
He was one of the Divine Alliance Warriors sent by Su Cang to kill Lin Bai at the Withered Mountain Ridge.
Over a hundred Divine Alliance Warriors had co to explore the Withered Mountain Ridge.
Now they had seen Lin Bai and their eyes filled with malice.
“There he is!”
At the sa ti, in another direction, a group from the Canghai Yuntai Palace had set up their camp.
The Canghai Yuntai Palace had brought more than five hundred disciples, all of whom were at least Earth Martial Realm experts.
Among the group, a young woman in purple surrounded by the crowd spotted Lin Bai.
Enraged, her eyes filled with an intense desire to kill.
It was clearly Lin Zi’er, who had joined the Canghai Yuntai Palace!
