Chapter 136: Immortal Trapping Formation
"What? The Moon Worship Sect is here?"
"It’s him. It must be him who brought the Moon Worship Sect. This person is a spy for the Moon Worship Sect."
A Li Shui Sect disciple shouted.
"Everyone, quiet down." Fire Zhe said loudly.
"I can prove that Young Master is absolutely not a spy for the Moon Worship Sect. Just today, he rescued me and several junior brothers from the Rainbow Skirt Sect. The Rainbow Skirt Sect and the Moon Worship Sect have long coveted our Li Shui Sect.
You tell me, since Young Master rescued us, why would he throw himself into the net and come to our sect?"
After Fire Zhe finished speaking and saw that everyone was silent, he looked at Grand Elder Cheng Tai and said.
"Grand Elder, the Moon Worship Sect is here now. I’m afraid they come with ill intentions. How should we respond? Why don’t I take the disciples to scout out the situation first?"
Cheng Tai waved his hand and said.
"No rush, we have the Sect Protection Array." After Cheng Tai finished speaking, he looked at Wang Yufan, deep in thought.
"I wonder if Young Master has a way to resolve the current crisis of our sect," Cheng Tai continued.
Wang Yufan felt a bit speechless. Why was this old man asking him? Could it be that he also suspected him of being some kind of spy for the Moon Worship Sect? Thinking of this, Wang Yufan immediately said.
"I don’t have any ideas. Your sect’s own matters should be handled by yourselves. If you can’t even handle such a small matter, what’s the use of asking me? Besides, where is your Sect Master? You can call him out."
As soon as Wang Yufan finished speaking, Cheng Tai’s old face darkened. He hadn’t expected this young man in front of him to be so sharp-tongued.
However, Wang Yufan hadn’t finished speaking yet.
"I forgot to tell you, isn’t your Li Shui’s grand array already severely damaged? You usually can’t bear to activate it, only turning it on when you encounter danger?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Cheng Tai and the other elders immediately changed. This secret was only known to the high-ranking members of the Li Shui Sect. How could this outsider know?
As for him having figured it out, Cheng Tai and the others absolutely did not believe it. Without a certain level of array mastery, one couldn’t understand their Li Shui Sect’s grand array. This was an array passed down since the sect’s founding.
Looking at their expressions, Wang Yufan smiled and thought to himself, ’You don’t know that this Li Shui Sect’s grand array was something I told Yue Li about back then.’ The Li Shui Sect’s grand array is called the Immortal Trapping Formation, integrating both offense and defense.
It’s just that this Li Shui Sect’s Immortal Trapping Formation was set up by Yue Li back then, and after all these years, eighty to ninety percent of its array foundations are already damaged. No wonder the Li Shui Sect has become like this; they don’t even have a decent array master, otherwise, it could still be salvaged.
Just as Wang Yufan was thinking, an old man in black robes standing beside him spoke:
"How did you know our grand array was damaged? Are you proficient in array formations?"
"What’s so difficult about that? If I say I guessed it, you definitely won’t believe me. If I say I’m familiar with array formations, you also definitely won’t believe me. In that case, it’s better for me not to say anything at all. You can think about it yourselves. Besides, what you should be worrying about right now isn’t whether I know array formations, but rather the people in front of your Li Shui Sect’s mountain gate." Wang Yufan said.
Just as Wang Yufan’s words fell.
Boom. Boom. Boom.
The entire Li Shui Sect began to shake.
"Not good. All elders and disciples, come with me to the mountain gate." Grand Elder Cheng Tai shouted.
"What about this kid?" Someone asked.
Cheng Tai glanced at Wang Yufan and said.
"Young Master, are you interested in coming with me to see this Moon Worship Sect?"
Wang Yufan smiled and said, "Alright, I happen to want to see it too. Maybe I can even help you all out."
As Wang Yufan finished speaking, an elder said.
"Hmph, our vast Li Shui Sect, though not at its peak, doesn’t need a mere greenhorn to help us."
Wang Yufan felt a bit speechless upon hearing this, but he still said.
"Ambitious, spirited. Then this Young Master will enjoy watching the might of your ancient sect later. But where is your Sect Master? For such an important matter, it’s inexcusable for him not to show up."
Cheng Tai turned his head and glanced at Wang Yufan, saying.
"The Moon Worship Sect cannot break in. They are just trying to intimidate us. Our Li Shui Sect’s Sect Master is currently at a critical moment of breaking through to the second layer of the Heaven Immortal realm. We cannot disturb him."
"Oh, is that so?" Wang Yufan said, seemingly without intention.
When everyone arrived at the mountain gate, they saw only the imposing disciples of the Moon Worship Sect, a dense, dark mass.
Among them, standing at the very front of the Moon Worship Sect were several people dressed in yellow robes, and one of them wore a black robe with a bamboo hat, standing behind the others.
Standing in front of the Li Shui Sect’s mountain gate, Wang Yufan immediately knew that the strength of that person was higher than everyone else present, having reached the peak of the Heaven Immortal realm.
Wang Yufan also sensed that this person likely held a magical artifact specifically designed to deal with the Immortal Trapping Formation.
No wonder the Moon Worship Sect had such a grand formation this time. Of course, all of this was seen by Wang Yufan; as for the people of the Li Shui Sect, they were probably in for a big loss.
"Cough, cough, cough, you should be wary of that Black-robed man wearing a bamboo hat," Wang Yufan said.
Cheng Tai, who was beside him, also noticed the Black-robed man wearing a bamboo hat, as his attire was different from everyone else’s. As for the other people from the Moon Worship Sect, Cheng Tai recognized them all.
Just then, an old woman from the Moon Worship Sect walked out, leaning on a staff, her aura clearly having reached the Heaven Immortal realm.
She raised her head and said to Cheng Tai.
"What, your Sect Master saw that our Moon Worship Sect has arrived and doesn’t dare to come out? Are you few coming out to die?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Tai’s eyes turned cold and he said.
"Old hag, what kind of status does our Sect Master have? You think you can see him? Why don’t you go pee and look at yourself in the reflection first."
As soon as Cheng Tai’s words fell, the old woman’s staff directly slammed down hard on the ground. Countless spider-web cracks appeared on the ground, spreading towards the direction where Cheng Tai stood.
Facing this situation, Cheng Tai directly struck out with a palm, colliding with that force.
Cheng Tai stumbled back a few steps, and only stopped after being supported by the other elders.
"I didn’t expect this old hag’s strength to have increased quite a bit. Today, not only her, but even the Moon Worship Sect’s so-called Eight Divisions of Futu—the Heavenly Stars, Earthly Fiends, and all the evil spirits—have come," Cheng Tai said.
"Grand Elder, it really seems like the situation is not good today. Should we quickly call the Sect Master over?" An elder in purple robes beside him said.
Cheng Tai waved his hand and said.
"No need to disturb the Sect Master, don’t we still have this Immortal Trapping Formation?"
After Cheng Tai finished speaking, he looked up at the protective barrier shimmering with a golden light. This barrier was their greatest means of dealing with the Moon Worship Sect, but just as Wang Yufan had said before, their grand array could not hold on for much longer.
