Top-tier Unruly Master-Chapter 1518 - 1555: Persuasion to Surrender
However, what Ding Fan did not expect was that the Wild Wolf Gang not only discovered the existence of the Thirty-Six Caves, but also, due to his brother Long Ren, had some understanding of the rules of the Thirty-Six Caves. These were thirty-six sects, which was already a considerable force. Although they were powerful, they were a hidden force, and only his brother Long Ren, as the Lake Master of the Thirty-Six Caves, knew the situation of all these sects.
Even the disciples within these sects did not know their sect was part of the Thirty-Six Caves, let alone the cultivators wanting to know which other cultivators belonged to the Thirty-Six Caves. Only Long Ren knew this information, and even the sect leaders of the Thirty-Six Caves knew very little about each other. Yet, the Wild Wolf Gang accurately located a few of these sects and successfully turned them against the others, eventually discovering the most secretive annual gathering of the Thirty-Six Caves and setting up so many high-level arrays in advance.
If Ding Fan hadn’t happened to be there at the time to find the core of those high-level arrays, and if the Spirit Severing and even Transcendence Tribulation Stage cultivators hadn’t combined their strength to break the arrays, the Thirty-Six Caves might no longer exist. Thinking of this, even Ding Fan was a bit shocked by the strength of the Wild Wolf Gang, and he knew that their power was not only due to having many high-level cultivators but also many talented and powerful individuals, such as the formation master capable of setting up a Grade Eight Array, which was an impressive existence. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Moreover, their ability to accurately find the gathering place of the Thirty-Six Caves was very impressive, indicating their connections and intelligence capabilities were excellent. This time, the Dayang Sect had only been camped here for a few months, yet the Wild Wolf Gang quickly got the precise information and attacked with Four Skyscraper Cannons without hesitation, showing how well-informed they were.
Ding Fan was somewhat amazed by the strength of the Wild Wolf Gang and even seriously doubted their power. Initially, they were just a sect far inferior to the Dayang Sect, but in just six months, they had developed to this level, which seemed too incredible, raising the possibility of some unspeakable secrets involved.
Ding Fan thought too much for a moment. Returning to his senses, he looked at the Wild Wolf Gang cultivators below the sect and a malicious thought arose in his heart. Facing these cultivators, he naturally would not be polite and would simply kill them. Moreover, looking at the cultivation of the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang, it was not even higher than that of the old man he had previously defeated, only at the Nascent Soul Late Stage.
Ding Fan knew that cultivators of this level were clearly unaware of the important insider information. The Spirit Severing elder he had killed before might have known something, but that’s uncertain since he was already killed. There was no use thinking about it now. At this moment, Ding Fan looked towards Wang Hu and other elders of the Dayang Sect, noticing the questioning expressions on their faces. Ding Fan then waved one of the array flags in his hand, and an almost invisible membrane enveloped the entire Dayang Sect’s camp.
This was clearly the Seven Star Defense Array. Ding Fan knew that for this formation, it would be impossible for anyone below the Spirit Severing Late Stage to break through, even given several weeks. After all, it’s a Seven Stars Defense Array, already at the threshold of advanced arrays, naturally not something ordinary cultivators can deal with. Even Spirit Severing Stage cultivators would find it challenging to handle.
At this time, Elder Wang Hu and others, seeing this defensive formation, were very shocked. This was Ding Fan’s first time activating this formation. Although they knew Sect Leader Ding Fan had set up a formation, the specifics were unknown to them. While they knew Sect Leader Ding Fan was an exceptionally talented individual, destined to be a remarkable figure in the future.
Not only was the sect leader exceptionally skilled in cultivation, but more importantly, he was an Grade Nine Alchemist, and there were very few Grade Nine Alchemists in the entire Cultivation World. Therefore, Sect Leader Ding Fan was already impressive in everyone’s mind. Clearly, they thought his formation skills were inferior, but they did not expect the formation he set up to be so powerful.
This was truly unbelievable! At this time, Wang Hu, seeing this scene, was extremely shocked, not expecting that Big Brother Ding Fan had set up such a powerful existence. Although Wang Hu was not very knowledgeable about formations, he roughly understood the quality of formations. Clearly, Big Brother’s formation was not just powerful; it was incredibly astounding!
Wang Hu was very shocked, not expecting that Big Brother Ding Fan was also such a formidable Formation Master. This was simply unbelievable!
Meanwhile, the other elders of the Dayang Sect, seeing Ding Fan activate the formation, were also very shocked. They did not expect the sect leader to be not only a Grade Nine Alchemist but also a Formation Master. This was simply incredible! Everyone knew how remarkable Formation Masters were, even more so than alchemists. This was truly amazing!
At this time, the middle-aged man leading the Wild Wolf Gang, seeing Ding Fan activate the defensive array, was stunned, not expecting the opposing sect to have such a powerful array. This array, even compared to the Wild Wolf Gang’s sect, was not inferior. This was truly unbelievable, considering the opponent was just a small sect of a few hundred people, yet had such a formidable array. This was truly astonishing!
At this time, the elder of the Mountain Splitting Sect, beside the middle-aged leader, also looked at Ding Fan’s work with shock, not expecting the opposing side to be so formidable, with such a powerful defense array, apparently already in the advanced array category. The elder sighed in admiration:
"This is indeed a High Level Defensive Formation. The foundation of the Dayang Sect should not be underestimated!"
"High Level Array?"
The middle-aged leader, hearing the elder’s words, was surprised. He only knew the array was quite formidable but did not know what rank it was. As both his cultivation and age were less than that of the elder, naturally, his knowledge was not as extensive. Hearing it was an advanced array, how could he not be shocked?
But soon, the middle-aged man calmed down, with a sinister expression. Regardless of the array set up, even in the face of the Sky Cannon, it might withstand one round of attack but definitely not three. This was not just one cannon, but four. Even against the Nine Stars Formation, it could definitely break through. It was just a matter of time.
At this moment, the middle-aged man’s heart was somewhat smug, as the opponent truly did not know how to arrange troops. Considering that they had already gotten so close, and not only did the opponent not attack first, but had instead adopted a defensive posture, could it be that they were already prepared to take a beating?
"A mere remnant is no threat, we could even use just two Sky Cannons to leave them completely defeated!"
The middle-aged man said with an expression of satisfaction, not taking Ding Fan’s defensive array seriously at all. Beside him, the elder echoed:
"Lord Fang is right, even though the opponent has an advanced defensive formation, they are definitely not our match. After all, we have four Sky Cannons at our disposal. Indeed, as Lord Fang has mentioned, just two Sky Cannons can completely defeat them. When the time comes, I will deal with that young brat myself. Since he dared to use demon arts to sever one of my legs, I will make him wish for life but beg for death!"
"Hahaha... well said! But one thing is certain, that young brat must be thoroughly slain, and then bring me his head to report!"
The middle-aged leader spoke with great pride, clearly already considering the people of the Dayang Sect as dead, beginning to arrange matters concerning their aftermath.
At this time, the Cultivators of the Wild Wolf Gang, hearing the words of the middle-aged leader and the elder, wore a sly smile without any pressure at all. They already knew that dealing with the remnants of the Dayang Sect simply required using those four Sky Cannons and their job would just be to clean up the corpses!
"I thought the Dayang Sect was such a formidable force? Turns out they are just a rabble!"
"Haha, the opponent is truly too foolish. Even I, a mere cultivator of the Wild Wolf Gang, knows that the opponent has used the Sky Cannons, obviously intending to preempt them. Yet, the opponent held their troops back, waiting until being attacked at their very doorstep to act—this is sheer stupidity!"
"Yes, yes! Earlier I worried that Elder Huang hadn’t returned yet, fearing he might have met some mishap. After all, this time we are attacking the remnants of the Dayang Sect, and although they are remnants, I thought they would be formidable. Yet they are so trashy, so worthless—this is simply too easy!"
"I fear that after a few blasts from the Sky Cannons, those remnants of the Dayang Sect will already be dead without a trace! Haha..."
"Hahaha... trash is just trash, the former Dayang Sect was trash, and now these leftover remnants are still trash! Haha..."
"..."
For a while, the Cultivators of the Wild Wolf Gang were buzzing with discussion, clearly having no faith in the Dayang Sect and possessing full confidence in the Sky Cannons they brought. Instantly, everyone’s mood brightened considerably.
At this moment, the middle-aged leader, hearing the words of the disciples, felt a wave of pride. Evidently, even these Cultivators of the Wild Wolf Gang could see the opponent’s strategy had significant flaws. The battle hadn’t started yet, but he sensed victory and defeat had already been determined. He couldn’t help but snort disdainfully at Ding Fan above:
"Giving you remnants of the Dayang Sect a chance: if you surrender now, I guarantee you’ll be spared! But if you don’t surrender, you may not even have a corpse! Haha..."
"Haha! The leader is mighty!"
"Hahaha..."
After the middle-aged leader finished speaking, the disciples of the Wild Wolf Gang below burst into laughter, feeling quite amused at the other party. Is there even a need to fight? Clearly, if they slightly mobilized the Sky Cannons, the entire Dayang Sect would cease to exist...
