Chapter 980: Wall
The whole second wall was separated from the first, specifically to enable this destructive fire tactic. If they werent separated, then all of the trees would have been infected with Nightmare Garden. The gap also made a little space for the beasts to pack into and get caught up. This plan would be quite destructive against the beasts coming up against them, but at the same time it was also a measure of last resort. Once the walls protecting them were burnt away theyd be in big trouble. Sage could feel how quickly the flames burnt away the first wall, but he had no idea how much actual damage it caused to their attackers. Thankfully, the Fire Garden poisons purpose was to extend burning times. It was truly made with this sort of tactic in mind. For cultivators and powerful beasts, a forest fire was not a death sentence, but more of an inconvenience. Most deaths from a fire were caused by smoke inhalation, and strong cultivators could use their Qi to replace their breathing requirements. Still, the burning forest still made for a good fence: while it lasted.
Sage turned around to face the rest of the group and the cage-like wall that was blocking their path. He carefully examined it while the Purple Mist Sect members continued to rotate between attacking and resting, smashing against the four weak points theyd identified. With no more tricks to hold back the beasts, Sage joined in with the effort to break through the barrier. Since the barrier wasnt a living thing it took away many of Sages options. It was also pointless for him to just start attacking it with his fists, as the Purple Mist Sect members were already doing a great job in that department. He was sure he could disable the formations with seals, but that would take hours or days.
He wasnt sure how to tackle the gate, but that suddenly changed. Sage smiled and a quartet of silver rifles appeared around him. They flew through the air, carried by his Spirit Power to take four very specific positions to aim at four points upon the barrier and fire from very specific angles. Then they lit up, each at a slightly staggered time, releasing their powered crystal shards to smash against the barrier. They fired three times each with a strange pattern before suddenly the barrier shattered apart. Sage collected the rifles while the eight members of the Purple Mist Sect rushed forward and tore off the gate with a single pull. They carried it out of the way and then disappeared into thin air, along with the gate they were still holding.
Quickly, run!
Sage had to shake them out of their surprise and the Discipline Keeper took off running into the den area and through the secret door theyd used to enter this area in the first place. This door was still hanging open, taunting them this whole time. The barrier of bars and formations stopping them from reaching this open entrance and escaping. Now that the obstruction was removed they could finally rush out back to the hidden passage they used to get here. Once they were shaken from their surprise they took off running without any further coaxing. Sage brought up the rear, pulling the passage door closed behind them and quickly placing Formation Plates around it. This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.
Thats right, now come over here and wait with us for help.
Its alright. I dont need to rest yet. I think its more important I find the trigger for this entrance. We have to make sure you can get in later. Its quite dangerous for the academy to have a set of secret passages they dont know about. At the very least, shouldnt the Discipline Keepers know about them? If only a few people know about them, then if they died, the passages would become a secret again.
Sage paused and looked carefully at the Discipline Keeper for a moment before continuing, Many many people need to know about the secret passageway in order to make it not dangerous anymore. Only when it's common knowledge will it make everyone safe again. If this path is public, then nobody will be concerned about hiding it anymore, and we wont have to worry about assassins sneaking around.
Then he stopped and looked over at the crowd of students and teachers, We dont want what happened to that boy, Lu Ju, to happen to anyone else, right? You should gather a large group of Discipline Keepers to search the secret passage. What if Beast Keeper Deng used them to escape? What else might he be hiding in them?
Sage could only hope this Discipline Keeper had some brains in his head and some compassion for their group. Otherwise, someone higher up in the Academy might just have them all killed off to keep a secret.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
