Chapter 472 Killing Spree (1/2)

Outside of the Defense Array

The elders kept their heads down in fear and the other strong cultivators knelt on the ground with heavy hearts.

”Have you done nothing for more than a month, you idiots? You still haven't found a way to save Carey?

If he's still alive, you useless bastards will be imprisoned for one year. If he's dead, you will all face your deaths as well! Humph!”

A middle-aged man in a grey robe glared at everyone.

”Vice master, we have no other choice. In order to protect Young Master Carey from being disturbed, we set up the strongest Protection Domain. However, the man who sneaked in here was able to enter by using a rule power blockade. We can't open it,” an elder explained as he kept his head down.

”Bastard! Don't you know how to ask for help? Why didn't you tell me right away? If you make any petty excuses again, I will kill you!”

The middle-aged man, Arnold Chi, was the vice master of the Red Inferno Sect and was Carey Chi's uncle. His status was second to that of the master of the Red Inferno Sect.

All of the elders present dared not utter another word. There was a powerful array in the passage which made it so that if the young master didn't come out, the other remaining elders and powerful disciples couldn't enter. They thought it was pointless to tell this information to the vice master as it would have made them look exceedingly incompetent.

In addition, once they informed others of the unfavorable situation, everyone in the Red Inferno Sect would know that they had made an enormous blunder. They wouldn't be able to escape if the young master was killed.

Needless to say, most of them thought it was preferable to escape rather than be punished if the young master had been killed. None of them were unwavering and definitely foolish enough to inform the sect and basically turn themselves in.

However, Arnold Chi had a strong rule cultivation base and thus could break through the Defense Array.

He had some obligations to attend to outside the sect and had suddenly gone back two days ago. When he received news that Carey was going to break through, he immediately rushed back and went out of his way to see it for himself. He most certainly did not expect to find this situation upon his arrival.

Arnold's cultivation base was nearly equal to that of the strongest elder, but he had mastered a basic true rule which he inherited. So at present, his power had surpassed that elder.

What was the basic true rule?
