Outside the great gates of the Enlightened Deity Cave Mansion, the Mountain Protection Array exuded an aura of terror, with Sword Qi crisscrossing and tearing through the air, creating an extremely frightening scene. However, the people present, and even those watching the spectacle from afar, did not focus their attention here.
Originally, the Red Lion Cave and Cloud Dragon Mountain armies had arrived together, their forces overwhelming, with even Red Lion Daoist, Qin Liefeng, and Lau Pang, such prominent experts of the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, personally making an appearance! So they thought it would be a crushing defeat.
A crushing defeat of the Enlightened Deity Cave by the allied armies of Red Lion Cave and Cloud Dragon Mountain.
However, the situation progressed far beyond their expectations, shocking them immensely.
First, the entry of the Eight Great Iron Guards, although they were eight against one, they were actually able to contend with someone of Qin Liefeng's caliber, a notorious top expert of the Qi Refining Ninth Layer. This was simply mind-blowing! Impossible to imagine.
To know that within hundreds or nearly a thousand miles around, any force that could possess such a level of expert or combat power would undoubtedly have the qualifications to enter the top ranks! But now?
Not only could Enlightened Deity Cave have experts like the Eight Great Iron Guards, but afterwards, when that Four-Layer Human Formation level Mountain Protection Array emerged, people were shocked to the point of utter confusion, terrified beyond belief.
It must be known that the words Mountain Protection Array alone represent deep foundations and are priceless.
Any Mountain Protection Array is qualified to instill extreme fear in others.
And any Array Master capable of setting up a Mountain Protection Array is even more worthy of awe and admiration!
This is akin to an Alchemist being able to refine Silver Patterned, or even Golden Patterned Pills. Being able to, or not being able to, the disparity between these two is not on the same level.
In fact, when that Four-Layer Human Formation Mountain Protection Array was activated and revealed, both Qin Liefeng and Lau Pang felt a little hesitation and regret for a short period. If they had known it would be like this, they probably wouldn't have gotten into this muddle.
Because now it is a Four-Layer Human Formation Mountain Protection Array, who knows if in some time it could become a Five-Layer Human Formation Technique? And that level might be even more frightening than someone like Cang Kun!
The Five-Layer Human Formation Technique is recognized as invincible below the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm!
So if things develop to this point, if they just felt a little regret in their hearts, the appearance of Taoist Cang Kun at the end was indeed something that left them extremely, extremely, extremely regretful!
There's no helping it, after all, although something like the Four-Layer Human Formation Mountain Protection Array is formidable, and implies immense potential and talent, it is ultimately something of the future, thus seeming too illusory to be real!
But the appearance of Taoist Cang Kun was different!
He is such a fearsome character with a notorious reputation in this area, even a Foundation Establishment True Person Realm expert took action personally, but couldn't kill him, what does this mean?
It means the other party completely has the ability to easily trample them one by one! The disparity in strength is immense.
And in fact, this is indeed the case.
The Qi Refining Ninth Layer, Second Level Late Stage Beast, and Peak of Second Level Late Stage Beast, although it sounds like just a two-word difference! But in fact, even if there were three top experts like Qin Liefeng at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, they might not necessarily fare well in the hands of Taoist Cang Kun.
Saying it like this is certainly enough to make one feel fear, but now, even now, this is not the main point!
The main point is, the main point is that Taoist Cang Kun, the Grand Island Master of Canglan Island, now, now he actually personally said that he is a person of the Enlightened Deity Cave, what does this mean!?
Almost everyone, upon hearing this sentence, nearly fainted. There's no help for it, this was too, too, too shocking...
Because, given the terrifying and astounding strength of someone like Taoist Cang Kun, even if he was connected to this Enlightened Deity Cave, at the very least, he should be the behind-the-scenes controller, right? But now?
But now he claims to be a person of this Enlightened Deity Cave, and not the Cave Master or some behind-the-scenes leader. Such wording, such implications, what do they mean?
Does it mean that in this Enlightened Deity Cave, there may be someone who can actually control even the invincible under the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, Taoist Cang Kun? Someone who can command him?
Thinking of this, many people just feel their facial expressions stiffen, because they're scared; they feel their whole bodies lack strength too, because they're scared... Could there be someone who has the qualification to manage Taoist Cang Kun, even ordering him, could it be, is there still a Foundation Establishment True Person Realm expert hiding in this Enlightened Deity Cave, or a Third-Level Demonic Beast?
If not for that, why on earth would the dignified Grand Island Master of Canglan Island, Taoist Cang Kun, of what identity, of what status, speak in such a way? Lowering his own status like that?
"Misunderstanding? I don't think this is any misunderstanding. How important is the Mountain Gate Residence of my Enlightened Deity Cave? You come with such overwhelming forces, and you want to leave so easily after coming?" Hearing what Qin Liefeng said, Taoist Cang Kun was expressionless, his voice indeed turning cold, said.
Whoosh!
At the same time, the Top Grade Magic Artifact, Azure Light Bamboo, in his hand trembled slightly, radiating a verdant glow, very beautiful, but making people feel an extremely dangerous aura, terrifying, and fearfully reaching the extreme!
