The allure of the Celestial Soldier was too great, and the Disciples could no longer control their impulses.
Just as hundreds of people rushed forward, a blood shadow suddenly appeared at the massive gate, calling out in a mournful voice, "There's an ambush, be careful!"
This cry from the blood shadow caused many of the rushing Disciples to halt immediately.
No one else emerged from inside; only he had rushed out.
At least two hundred people had already entered. They were all dead!
At this moment, Lu Fang and White City had just reached the entrance of the gate, and they too stopped in their tracks.
The people around Guan Yue began to look at him differently. They hadn't expected that such a young fellow would be a master of formations. Only he had noticed the Mysterious Array earlier.
Lu Fang and White City turned to look back, realizing that Guan Yue remained motionless, standing alongside Lan Xuelei in the same spot. It seemed that Guan Yue's insight surpassed that of both of them.
Lu Fang and White City exchanged glances, secretly admiring him.
At this time, Guan Yue was observing who was behind this incident. He wondered what their next move would be. The arrangements made by this powerful figure in the graveyard were incredibly complex and defensively strong, making it difficult to break through.
For a moment, everyone ceased their commotion, and the restless mood began to calm down with the death of over two hundred people.
Lu Fang and White City also returned to Guan Yue's side, now intent on watching how he would act before making their own moves. They began to take his words and actions more seriously.
Looking again at the brightly lit hall beyond the Giant Gate, everyone's eyes changed; it seemed like a den of dragons and tigers, a place where danger lurked at every turn.
At this moment, more than a dozen individuals dressed in the same yellow attire, each with a red flower pinned to their sleeves, emerged. They began to engage in individual conversations with some particularly powerful Disciples, specifically targeting those who were peak Disciples of the Supreme Realm and Eternal Realm.
One of them crossed over Lu Fang and White City to approach Guan Yue and Lan Xuelei, as they were clearly peak Disciples of the Eternal Realm.
A stout individual said to Guan Yue and Lan Xuelei, "You two Disciples, the upcoming issue is quite troublesome. It will require strong forces to breach this ancient tomb. Are you interested in joining us?"
Guan Yue immediately asked, "What organization are you from? The news about this ancient tomb was intentionally released, wasn't it?"
The stout man looked at Guan Yue in surprise but did not hide his intentions. He smiled and replied, "Originally, we intended to monopolize all the treasures here. However, we realized that this ancient tomb must have countless defenses and numerous traps. That's why we decided to spread the word, hoping everyone could come together and work in unison—sharing treasures and profits."
The stout man appeared sincere, but Guan Yue detected a hint of mockery beneath his demeanor: "You think you can compete for treasures? Ridiculous. Just be good cannon fodder for us."
Guan Yue chuckled inwardly and promptly asked, "What do you plan to do next?"
"We intend to gather all strong individuals—Warriors, Mages, Mind Masters, and Literary Context Practitioners—to steadily advance. Without trust, we cannot break through the formations and traps inside," the stout man said calmly.
Guan Yue smiled and then pointed at Lu Fang and White City, saying to the stout man, "Those two are Experts; they excel at dealing with such traps. You might want to consider their authoritative opinions."
Guan Yue knew that Lu Fang and White City had high self-esteem and loved to show off. By doing this, he could pass the problem onto them and witness their martial arts strategies from a higher level.
Upon hearing Guan Yue's words, the stout man turned to look at Lu Fang and White City again. He then asked with a hint of skepticism, "What insights do you two have on how to breach this tomb?" However, his attitude was quite disrespectful.
Lu Fang chuckled and said, "This kind of ancient tomb can only be considered a second-rate tomb; its defenses are only capable of killing an average Great Deity. It's nothing to worry about."
Upon hearing Lu Fang's statement, the stout man's expression changed; kill a Great Deity? There were no Great Deities here for him to kill! Ignoring Lu Fang further, he turned back to Guan Yue and asked, "What do you think? Are you going to join us?"
Lu Fang was infuriated when he saw the fat man ignoring him and turning his back. He threw a long punch from behind, knocking the fat man to the ground. The fat man let out a painful cry, "Damn it, that hurts!"
Immediately, two disciples in yellow robes rushed over. White City quickly intervened. With a light block, the two Eternal Realm Cultivators were sent flying far away.
As soon as White City made his move, he suppressed the situation. His strength caused the yellow-robed individuals to reevaluate him and the three standing beside him: Guan Yue, Lu Fang, and Lan Xuelei.
An elderly man in yellow approached with a hint of a smile on his face. He did not look at the fat man who was crawling up from the ground but politely addressed White City, asking, "What is your name, hero? I am Shui Miaolei."
White City replied calmly, "White City." He did not elaborate further. He had no good feelings towards the arrogant yellow-robed individuals.
Shui Miaolei candidly said, "They misjudged you earlier; I hope you won't take offense. We only wish to invite capable individuals to assist us. We didn't expect you to be so hidden in your abilities. I hope you four can work together with us to break this ancient tomb formation so that we can all enter and obtain what we seek."
Lu Fang spoke up, "I just said this formation isn't difficult to break. That fat man put his backside in front of me; how can I not be angry?" Lu Fang was still upset about what had just happened.
Shui Miaolei laughed heartily, "I apologize on their behalf. We were blind and did not recognize your greatness; we are truly sorry."
White City quickly interjected; he did not want to dwell on past events since they had not suffered any loss.
White City said, "This formation is called the Cunning Rabbit's Three Burrows Formation. It has ninety-seven variations. Therefore, it requires ninety-seven people to act simultaneously in order to break it."
Cunning Rabbit's Three Burrows Formation? Ninety-seven variations? Could this be a Divine-Level Formation? Does it really require ninety-seven Disciples to crack it at once?
Guan Yue felt a sense of awe.
Upon hearing White City's explanation, Shui Miaolei was also secretly astonished: What level of formation is this? If we hadn't encountered this formation master, we would probably have all died without being able to break this formation.
He immediately bowed and thanked, "Thank you for your guidance. I just wonder if the hero can mobilize troops to break this great formation?"
White City replied, "Of course, we are not here for sightseeing."
Water Elder laughed heartily and immediately called for all the Eternal Realm disciples to come over and follow White City's arrangements. There were fewer than ninety-seven Eternal Realm Cultivators present.
White City and Lu Fang did not hold back and began to arrange the positions and attack strategies for the ninety-seven Disciples.
Guan Yue listened carefully to their personnel arrangements and requirements, pondering their intentions. At the same time, using his unique perspective ability, he compared everything one by one and finally understood this cunning rabbit's three burrows formation.
Once Lu Fang and White City finished their arrangements, Guan Yue finally grasped the method to break the formation.
Of course, Lu Fang also assigned attack tasks to Guan Yue and Lan Xuelei, but their tasks were very safe with no danger involved.
However, Guan Yue was puzzled: clearly this ancient tomb had Three Chambers. If the First Hall was the cunning rabbit's three burrows, then what would be behind it?
The Ninety-Seven Senior Practitioners stood in front of the Giant Gate, and White City suddenly emitted a strong aura of Origin Energy. This made Guan Yue secretly admire; although this White City's combat power was different from Jin Xi, his oppressive aura was indeed overwhelming.
Guan Yue thought to himself that this person must have cultivated a technique superior to that of Jin Xi, which allowed him to generate such powerful pressure.
The ninety-seven Disciples took their positions. Guan Yue noticed that Lu Fang had actually stood at the entrance of the Second Hall. This was a very dangerous position.
Others did not know, but Guan Yue did.
Seeing that Lu Fang treated him well, he quickly walked over and pulled Lu Fang to stand beside him, pointing at a Yellow-Clad Monk, saying, "You should move to that position; it's safer there. He is a master and should stand in a dangerous place."
Lu Fang looked at Guan Yue, and when Guan Yue gave him a glance, Lu Fang stopped talking. However, he still did not understand why Guan Yue had pulled him to change positions.
Just as White City commanded everyone to act simultaneously, Guan Yue quietly reminded Lan Xuelei and Lu Fang, "After we start, quickly run out of the Giant Gate. You must be fast."
Lan Xuelei immediately nodded, while Lu Fang was even more confused. However, he chose to trust Guan Yue based on his instincts, so he nodded as well. Of course, he did not inform White City; he feared that White City would mock him for believing the words of a lower-level disciple.
Guan Yue was highly tense; he did not know if the formation of the Second Hall would be triggered by the formation of the First Hall. Therefore, he prioritized prevention and immediately told his two friends to run away as soon as they started! This was the safest approach!
At the same time, he tightly held onto Lan Xuelei's hand, which made Lan Xuelei nervous as well.
"Go!" With White City's command, ninety-seven disciples acted together. A series of thunderous sounds erupted, and smoke filled the hall of the First Hall. For a moment, everyone could not see each other's faces clearly; some even coughed violently from the thick smoke.
Only Guan Yue, holding onto Lan Xuelei, rushed out of the First Hall's main hall and into the outside. Lu Fang followed shortly after.
However, the hall remained filled with smoke and haze. There was no sound coming from inside.
Lu Fang felt very strange and asked Guan Yue, "There's no reaction? Did you notice anything?"
Guan Yue smiled awkwardly and said, "I just feel something is a bit off. Maybe I'm overreacting."
But just as Guan Yue finished speaking, a loud bang echoed through the air, deafening and persistent. At the same time, a flame as thick as a barrel burst forth from inside the second entrance, sweeping across the entire first hall and turning all the disciples inside into blackened ash.
