382 Arrest Her! (1/2)
Li Yi couldn't have foreseen the appearance of the catacombs. When the new entrance exploded into existence, she was deep in meditation. The thunderous sound of explosion rose to the skies, and the earth quaked. There had been a public square in the center of the western zone, but it had since collapsed and sunken in, forming a gigantic crater!
A chilly, eerie air surged from the crater, spreading an icy chill in the surrounding area. The waves of chilly air were accompanied by countless hordes of beasts!
This wasn't the first time a new catacombs connected to the Divine Armament Catacombs appeared. The Blood Cave where Lin Tianhao had met with danger had been a similar situation. Based on the Governor's analysis and assessment, she had guessed that such incidents would occur and had carried out the necessary preventive measures. The new city zone was one such measure to prevent and manage such incidents when they happened.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Wang Baole wasn't fully aware of the details surrounding the occurrence of the new catacombs. However, he could sense something had gone wrong through the new city zone's array formation. If the array formation had been constructed based on his plans and didn't have any loopholes or gaps, and if the entire city had been running correctly with all the cogs turning smoothly, it would have been difficult for a new catacombs to appear. Even if it did appear, it wouldn't be inside the city but somewhere else.
However, it was clear that the Global Dharma City that Li Yi believed to be perfect didn't fuse and mesh fully with the Qi Fostering Spirit Array Formation, resulting in problems. It might have been difficult to discover such incongruencies normally, as they were very well hidden; however, in such key moments, they would be exposed fully.
The new catacombs would never have been able to appear in the other three zones. The loopholes present in the western zone presented an opportunity for it to appear. Its explosion seemed to shake the heavens and earth. At that moment, the cheap tricks that Li Yi had been playing in secret were all exposed and laid out in the open for all to see.
The deafening explosions alarmed everyone in the new city zone. Li Yi's face was pale. The first thing that came to her mind wasn't how to fight off and push back the beast hordes, but the disadvantage she would suffer once this incident got out and people heard about it!
Defense and resistance came as an afterthought. She raced out hastily and immediately gathered the people from the four Dao Colleges to fight off the beast hordes. They were mainly from the White Deer Dao College and its branch college. There were some from the Holy River Dao College, while those from the Ethereal Dao College were few. The Ethereal Dao College cultivators had wanted to be here since Wang Baole was stationed in the new city zone; however, the White Deer Dao College, in its attempts to prevent Wang Baole's influence from growing too vast, had put a stop to that.
Li Yi tried frantically to hold back the Beast Tide. The sudden event had sent the entire city zone quaking. The other zones were faring well compared to the western zone though, which was seeing great casualties.
Fortunately, the Beast Tide had only just erupted. It would be fine if they could seal the catacombs. If efforts to do so were delayed though, the beasts could spread into other zones and result in calamity.
As soon as Wang Baole found out about this, his face turned dark, and a murderous aura erupted from his person. He dashed out and barked out an order instantly.
”Lock down the entire western zone. Unleash the full power of the array formation. Cultivators at Foundation Establishment realm and above, follow me into the western zone. We're going to seal the new catacombs!”
The city zone's array formation was instantly activated upon Wang Baole's order, and numerous cultivators lined up in their formations and awaited their orders. The western zone was locked down. It seemed that Wang Baole was prepared to abandon the western zone.
A similarly somber-faced Kong Dao and Jin Duoming followed Wang Baole and charged into the western zone. Lin Tianhao had been instructed to stand guard outside, and Wang Baole's concern for the rest meant they weren't brought along either.
At least ten thousand cultivators soon followed Wang Baole's lead and charged into the western zone. Amongst them were six to seven Core Formation realm cultivators. They dashed forward swiftly and approached the new catacombs in the western zone. Li Yi and her people were engaged in a fierce battle with the beasts. Her people were all injured and forced to fall back.
There were still more beasts surging outwards endlessly.
Wang Baole was about to spew fire at the sight of such chaos and danger. He had expected something like this to happen. However, Li Yi had simply grown too bold. She continued to do what she wished secretly, despite him clamping down on her. Her reckless actions had been the cause of the current predicament.
He didn't hesitate. As soon as he and his people arrived at the scene of battle, Wang Baole immediately headed for Li Yi, who was being protected by a circle of her people. A tinge of resentment and hate colored Li Yi's pale face when she saw his arrival.
Li Yi couldn't tell where her resentment came from. However, it was obvious that the emotion had only reared its ugly head when she saw Wang Baole. Wang Baole ignored her poisonous stare and said immediately, ”The four Dao Colleges, listen to my orders. Fall back a hundred thousand feet. Lock down the perimeters and slow the Beast Tide. Seniors who are at the Core Formation realm, follow me to the heart of the new catacombs and stand guard while I seal it!”
