Chapter 357
After piling up the rubbles, Caspian broke another stctite nearby.
Then, he cut into the shape of a tombstone and erected it in front of the simple tomb.
He hesitated for a moment, but he decided not to write their identities of the two in the tomb.
Caspian took a deep breath.
“Half of them escaped, and we didn’t manage to settle everyone.” Maya nced at the tomb and
shrugged at Caspian.
Naturally, she referred to the remaining group of Ninth Sacred Sect’s disciples.
The group of Ninth Sacred Sect’s disciples fought with the monster with wisdom, and they were already
mentally strained and physically exhausted.
At that time, there was nothing else they could do besides run away when faced with such an attack.
Luckily for them, the Hopeful Woman Mountain’s terrain wasplicated, and it was suitable for them
to escape.
As half of the Ninth Sacred Sect’s disciples were ughtered by the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples,
the remaining half quickly entered the surrounding caves that led to everywhere, and soon, they
disappeared.
For safety concerns, Omar and Maya, who were in charge ofmanding the disciples, did not let the
chase after the Ninth Sacred Sect’s disciples.
Instead, they remained at their original spot and sorted out the spoils.
“Where’s the monster with wisdom?” Caspian asked.
“When we rushed over, the Ninth Sacred Sect’spletely abandoned the monster and let it escape
into one of the caves,” Maya exined, “They were also using formations to trap the monster before
this.”
“Remember to be extra careful.
After all, that’s a monster with wisdom, and it won’t be easy for us to go against it,” Caspian reminded.
“Definitely,” Maya answered and nodded, “Omar ordered everyone not to leave at will and wander
around.
He also asked me to call you over.”
Caspian nodded and turned to nce at the lonely tomb.
Then, he followed Maya and Sna toward the location where the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples
gathered.
Even though half of the Ninth Sacred Sect’s disciples were ughtered, Omar and the others did not
appear rxed.
The reason was simple, the monster with wisdom escaped.
A monster with intelligence and strengthparable to a Holy Land Realm cultivator was a massive
threat to everyone present.
Although the monster’s force dropped drastically as it was pregnant, what would happen once it
recovered?
Besides that, no one knew how long it would take for the monster to recover.
Thus, there were only two choices in front of them.
First, they could leave the Hopeful Woman Mountain for the sake of safety.
Then, they could report the appearance of the monster with wisdom to the sect and let the elders or
senior-level disciplese over and ughter it.
Second, they could be more aggressive and run after it.
Then, before the monster fully recovered its health, they would work together and ughter the
monster.
Afterparing the two choices, Caspian asked everyone, “When I just entered the mountain, I came
across a fantasy array.
Did any of you face the same problem?”
“Same here!”
“Me too!”
In that instant, everyone echoed what he said.
After asking around, Caspian immediately realized that the matter was just as he expected.
Anyone who entered the mountain would be trapped by the fantasy array.
However, only a few of them broke the formation themselves.
Instead, most of them trapped in the fantasy array waited until the array dispersed by itself before they
left.
Based on everyone’s ount, Caspian found out that the fantasy array did notst long, and almost
shortly after everyone entered the mountain, the fantasy array disappeared.
The fantasy array’s function did not seem as if it were used to trap everyone, but for…
A light lit up in Caspian’s mind, and he immediately understood what happened.
“The fantasy array was used so that we can’t find our way out!”

The crowd was stunned, but they quickly regained their senses.
After careful thinking, it was indeed as what Caspian said.
None of them knew how to walk out of the Hopeful Woman Mountain! Hence, the first option to leave
here was directly rejected, and everyone was only left with the second choice.
It felt as if someone orchestrated that behind the scene, manipting them to make the decision.
In that instant, everyone believed that it was a conspiracy.
Caspian did not need any more proof to know that it was a trap.
“However, what’s the purpose of this trap?” Caspian lowered his head and wondered.
The other Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples did not look so great, and the joy they felt after killing the
Ninth Sacred Sect’s disciples immediately disappeared, causing their hearts to feel heavy.
“Casper,e and take a look at this.
Maybe you’ll find something,” Omar suddenly called Caspian.
Caspian walked over and noticed that Omar pointed at the formation used by the Ninth Sacred Sect to
trap the monster with wisdom.
“We must report to the sect that the Ninth Sacred Sect had mastered formations,” Caspian reminded.
“Yes!” Omar appeared serious.
The Ninth Sacred Sect was always the Heavenly Stars Sect’s enemy, and they suddenly mastered new
skills and were excellent at them.
That matter was naturally worthed paying attention to.
After talking, Caspian started to look around carefully, hoping to find a clue in the mess.
The materials used to deploy the formation were scattered all over the ce, and many were burned or
blown up as the formation was destroyed.
Thus, there were not many valuable things left.
There were more traces of scratches on the ground as if they were torn by sharp ws.
It was as if the w marks were made by a knife or an ax, revealing a fierce touch.
At one nce, it made people’s hearts tremble in fear and their scalps tingling.
After careful checking, Caspian was just about to stand when he suddenly caught a whiff of a faint
smell.
Although it was subtle, Caspian was sure that it was the smell of blood.
Then, he nced around and realized that the smell came from the center of the formation, and it only
got more intense.
Caspian’s eyes flickered with brilliance, and he approached the formation.
Soon, he noticed that droplets of blood oozed out of the center of the array, and there was a hint of
manic and violence in them.
Then, Caspian’s heart skipped a beat.
Other people might not have noticed it, but Caspian, who had the Sea-Breaker Beast’s blood in him,
felt that that aura was extremely familiar.
That was the purest form of a monster’s blood!
“The monster’s blood is pouring out from the ground!”
Caspian’s face immediately changed.
No matter what, that was a sign of danger.
Then, Caspian hurriedly retreated as he wanted to remind everyone.
Omar and the others paid attention to Caspian’s movement, and when they saw him retreating in a
frenzy, they knew that the situation changed! Almost without any hesitation, Omar, Maya, and Sna
rushed toward Caspian.
Even though they were fast, the blood spread out quicker.
In the blink of an eye, the droplets of blood oozing from the ground shot upward, forming a blood arrow
as tall as a one-story building.
It did not let the crowd have any chance to react, and the blood arrow spread and turned into a curtain
of blood, which suddenly rotated and formed a terrifying whirlpool.
In that instant, Caspian was caught and dragged into the whirlpool, and its speed and strength were so
much greater than those of the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples present.
