Chapter 1151: Attack II (1/2)

The dissolved light pillars formed light curtains that merged as they spread throughout the city, creating a layer of light over the basic defensive formation that is currently placed on a lot of stress due to the constant energy beams being fired from the bird puppets.

As soon as the energy beams struck this light curtain it was being diffused into a pure concentrated cloud of energy.

Even though the energy being light is a bit dangerous for people as that might lead to energy corrosion of the bodies, it is still better than being hit by the energy beams and anyway, the barrier formation is protecting them from these energy clouds.

As everyone watched, the whole city is being covered with energy clouds, but they are still feeling excited. They believed that as long as the energy explosions are being countered, they could overcome everything that the energy threw at them. Even though many of the disciples don't know what these energy beams are, they felt that they are related to the energy explosions, so they are still happy.

The elders and the branch leaders, who knew more than normal are a bit more excited than the rest.

But the excitement soon turned into despair when an attendant ran inside.

Looking at the same lack of etiquette and urgency the branch leader frowned.

”Branch leader, we need your urgent attention on an important matter.”

With that he looked at an entrance and two guards carried an injured person. When the branch leader saw the person, he instantly recognized him. Because he is none other than the cunning subordinate of the second young master.

He is in an extremely weak and pathetic state and he seemed to have been hit by the stray beams that managed to slip through the cracks before the formation was activated.

”Why did you bring him here? He should be taken to the healers.” The branch leader said with a frown.

”He said that it is a matter of utmost importance and he should meet you right away.”

The attendant replied nervously as he looked at the branch leader who in turn looked at the severely injured young man.

”Branch Leader. There is something wrong with the formation. Second young master did something terrible.”

With that, he hurriedly took out a recording crystal and gave it to the branch leader.

The branch leader looked at the footage of the second young master tampering with the formation the night before.

”I followed the second young master the night before after observing some suspicious movements and managed to capture it, the second young master spotted me, but he doesn't know I was recording, so he just captured me and imprisoned me in a house at outskirts.

But the stray energy beam hit me now and freed me. I immediately came running to you. I also found some documents in the house I was imprisoned. Even though there are not many and most of them are destroyed, I think they would be helpful.”

With that he took out a bunch of documents which are broken blueprints the second young master used to mark the tampering he did to the formation and the puppets.

The branch leader looked at half-damaged scrolls and was stunned when he noticed a few crucial points that were marked.

He then looked at the light curtain and as if it was on cue, it started wavering and the energy beams landed back on the formation barrier. But that is just the start of the nightmare.

At this moment, the second young master was stunned as he looked at the light curtain disappearing. At first, he was rather relieved when the light curtain was working properly. He felt like he was worried over nothing, or maybe his tampering didn't even affect the formation at all.

But as soon as he thought so, his mind went blank instantly as the light curtain disappeared. He was stunned for a second and he wanted to go and take a look at the pillar.

”What the fuck happened?” The first young master beat him to it though, he started checking the inscriptions on the pillar.

The second young master looked at the first young master's expression and hesitated a bit before going there and acting like he is checking something.

”Why is the inscription like this? I think it should be different according to the design.” He spoke with genuine confused laced in his voice.

The first young master looked at the inscription and his eyes widened in shock.
