Top-tier Unruly Master-Chapter 1594 - 1631: First Level Alert

At this moment, many sect leaders had gathered outside Long Ren’s room, looking at the entrance, everyone frowned, puzzled. One of the sect leaders said:

"No need to call the Great Elder just yet. I know a bit about formations; it seems obvious this isn’t the Nine Stars Formation. Let me try."

The speaker was a middle-aged man, one of the sect leaders of the Thirty-Six Caves. After speaking, he walked straight to the door and began to probe the formation inside Long Ren’s room with his Divine Sense.

The elders present felt somewhat uneasy. They had come to find the Lake Master for something important, but hadn’t expected such a situation, where Long Ren’s room was isolated by a formation. They had to remember they were on Giant Peak, entirely the territory of the Thirty-Six Caves; it was essentially the Lake Master’s territory, yet they hadn’t expected such a thing to happen here.

Everyone watched the middle-aged man who was trying to break the formation with tense expressions. Although they were all highly cultivated, they didn’t know much about formations; after all, formations and medicine pills could only be understood by professionals in those fields.

If it were some lower-level formation, these sect leaders might have had some methods, but this formation was apparently very advanced. They all were in the Spirit Severing Late Stage, with one elder even in the Early Tribulation stage, yet none could use their Divine Sense to observe inside the Lake Master’s room, thus proving this was no ordinary formation.

Unable to observe the situation inside Long Ren’s room, after a while everyone inevitably began to worry. If something happened to the Lake Master, it would be a major issue!

The middle-aged man trying to break the formation frowned in surprise and confusion, and gravely said:

"I can assert that this formation is definitely not the Nine Stars Formation, at most it’s the Eight Stars Formation, but it’s quite formidable, more powerful than an ordinary Nine Stars Formation. I can’t break it. Who on earth set up this formation? From what I know of the Lake Master, although he dabbles in formations, he certainly can’t set up such a formidable formation. There’s a master inside!"

Upon hearing the middle-aged man’s words, everyone grew even more tense and began to discuss anxiously.

"Just who is the master? We haven’t seen any High Level Formation Master around before!"

"Indeed, that’s the most worrying part. Could it be that a High Level Formation Master suddenly entered the Lake Master’s room?"

"But we don’t know if the other party is a friend or foe. If they’re an enemy, the Lake Master could be in danger!"

"Yes, if the Lake Master is trapped in the opponent’s formation, it could spell disaster!"

"We can’t just sit and wait! Let’s all work together and see if we can break this formation!"

"Good! Someone go gather all the sect leaders and quickly notify the Great Elder!"

"Yes! I’ll instruct them right away. The Lake Master’s safety is paramount; I’ll notify everyone immediately!"

...

Suddenly, everyone became busy, looking tense. As a sect leader urgently instructed several maidservants, their expressions were also very tense, and they hurriedly ran to the other sect leaders’ rooms to notify everyone to come over quickly.

Soon, about a dozen sect leaders released their True Qi and launched a combined attack towards Ding Fan’s room. They knew that individual power alone couldn’t break the Lake Master’s room’s formation, so they banded together for an assault, causing echoes to reverberate throughout Giant Peak.

Seen from afar, the area above Long Ren’s room pulsed with waves of True Qi, in all sorts of colors, creating a spectacular sight. Meanwhile, all the servants of Giant Peak’s residence became busy, their expressions tense.

Many servants and maidservants initially weren’t sure what was happening, but the news quickly spread.

"What on earth is going on, Xiao Xia?"

Several Nascent Soul Stage servants stopped a hurried maidservant, asking with a look of astonishment and tension.

"Something happened to the Lake Master! It’s going to be a big event!"

One maidservant replied, furrowing her eyebrows nervously. Before the servants could say more, she rushed off.

"...It can’t be! Something happened to the Lake Master!"

Among the servants, one who seemed to be the leader was stunned, quickly regaining composure, and sternly said to the others:

"Disseminate the command: Giant Peak is on first-level alert! If something happens to the Lake Master, it’s a major event. Everyone must stay alert! Understand?"

Immediately, the servant leader sternly shouted at everyone.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

...

Several servants solemnly answered with serious expressions.

Soon, several Nascent Soul Stage servants were busy, quickly donning armor, and Giant Peak was placed under first-level alert...

...

"What’s going on outside? What’s happening?"

In a room where the top six cultivators of the Thirty-Six Caves’ selection contest were staying, a female disciple, hearing the chaos outside, asked anxiously.

Besides Ding Fan, the five cultivators in the room also heard the commotion outside and grew tense. Lu Ferng walked out, stopped a maidservant, and asked:

"Excuse me, what’s going on?"

"Something big has happened, the Lake Master is in trouble!" The maid said with a nervous expression, her face tense as she spoke. After speaking, she was about to leave but was stopped by Lu Ferng, who was also shocked at this moment and hurriedly asked:

"Please wait a moment, could you explain it a bit more? What exactly happened to the Lake Master?"

"Oh dear, the Lake Master has been controlled by someone, his life or death is uncertain at the moment, the sect masters of the thirty-six sects are doing their utmost to rescue him! I can’t say more! I’m needed there! Take care, disciples!"

After saying this, the maid directly broke free from Lu Ferng’s arm and ran hurriedly toward the direction of the outer gate...

At this moment, Lu Ferng and the other four disciples standing at the door heard the maid’s words and couldn’t help but feel a burst of shock and also a lot of anxiety. Knowing what kind of existence the Lake Master is, an existence above the sect masters of the thirty-six sects, if something really happens to him, it would truly be a big issue, and perhaps the matter of entering the Xuantian Secret Realm this time would be postponed.

"What do we do, Lu Ferng Brother!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Yes, what do we do?"

...

For a moment, several disciples couldn’t help but look at Lu Ferng in a panic and asked. At this time, Lu Ferng’s expression was not good either; he really couldn’t believe that someone like the Lake Master would be controlled in his own territory. Who could accomplish this? It must be the top powerhouse in the Cultivation World!

At this time, not only Lu Ferng was very shocked, but among the five cultivators, Leng Jian was also very anxious in his heart; he couldn’t believe that the Lake Master was controlled. This was simply too unbelievable! For a moment, Leng Jian also had no ideas, and couldn’t help but look toward Lu Ferng.

Lu Ferng thought to himself, he and others absolutely cannot sit here waiting for death. The maid had already said that the sect masters of the thirty-six caves were doing their best to rescue the Lake Master, which indicated that the Lake Master had not been harmed yet, the Lake Master was not dead. Lu Ferng suddenly had an idea in his mind and then said to several disciples:

"The Lake Master is still alive now, our sect masters are doing their best to rescue the Lake Master. Although we few are weak, we must also do our best to help. Let us go assist the sect masters now!"

Upon hearing Lu Ferng’s words, the disciples hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Then Lu Ferng and the other five disciples immediately left the room, along the way asked some of the maids who were walking in panic, and already knew the location of the Lake Master’s room, they couldn’t help but go there. As Lu Ferng and others passed the room, Lu Ferng couldn’t help but stop in his tracks.

A few disciples stood there, bewildered, looking at Lu Ferng in confusion and asked:

"Lu Ferng Brother, what’s wrong?"

"Shouldn’t we inform the Lake Master’s brother, Ding Fan?" Lu Ferng also asked with some doubt in his heart, as they were at the doorway of Ding Fan’s room at this moment.

After hearing Lu Ferng’s words, everyone couldn’t help but be stunned, but soon a female disciple said to Lu Ferng:

"We should tell Ding Fan after all."

After hearing the female disciple’s words, Lu Ferng also nodded, and then walked toward Ding Fan’s room.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Brother?"

Lu Ferng knocked on Ding Fan’s room door, calling out respectfully.

But the room remained very quiet, without the slightest movement. Lu Ferng was a bit hesitant but eventually pushed open Ding Fan’s room door, only to find it empty, which surprised him greatly.

At this time, the other disciples also came over, upon seeing that there was no one in Ding Fan’s room, they were also somewhat surprised and couldn’t help but say:

"Maybe Brother has already gone."

"Yes, let’s go as well!"

Finally, Lu Ferng couldn’t help but say, after all, Ding Fan is the Lake Master’s brother. Something happened to the Lake Master, it’s likely that he has already gone to the Lake Master’s side. They couldn’t help but continue walking towards the Lake Master’s room...

...

For a moment, the entire Giant Peak was fully on alert, everyone was talking and their expressions were tense. Rushing around...

At this moment inside Long Ren’s room, Ding Fan was arranging formations while explaining them to Long Ren. Naturally, the two had no knowledge of external affairs, not even aware of the dozen or so sect masters attacking the room outside.

Long Ren, watching Ding Fan’s setup methods, said happily:

"Brother, this arrangement technique is simply wonderful!"

Ding Fan heard the words and smiled calmly. Then, Ding Fan built another small formation between himself and Long Ren. Upon seeing this scene, Long Ren couldn’t help but be surprised and said:

"Brother can even place a formation within a formation, this is really amazing! Brother, why do you do this?"

Ding Fan patiently explained:

"Because I’m about to upgrade the formations in this room to a top-level status, that way it will be practically the same as the ones in the Lake of Purity! But this is my first time setting up such a formation, so I’m still a bit rusty, it may not achieve the best effect."

Ding Fan paused for a moment while speaking and then continued:

"If it achieves the effect of the formation in the Lake of Purity, then the isolation formation in this room will make it difficult for us to speak to each other; therefore, it’s necessary to place a communication formation between us."
