"Senior Brother, we can't get out..."

Previously, Master Yuan Chu was in a semi-conscious state, but in the moment Master Zhichu took over, he woke up briefly and, after uttering these words, fell back into unconsciousness.

"What happened? Tianfan, where did you discover them?" Master Zhichu hurriedly summoned his magical treasure, the Doctor Sword, and let it hover around Master Yuan Chu to heal him, while he himself began treating Master Zhen Chu.

"Elder Hui Chu, just now the two Uncles and Elders charged in from above the array wall, and when they came through, there was a massive explosion that blew the two Uncles and Elders to different places. I flew at full speed to catch them!" Ye Tianfan replied.

In truth, Ye Tianfan was not trying to earn credit by responding this way, but because he felt somewhat resentful, it was also a form of complaint. Such a massive explosion had occurred, yet no one came to check what the cause was. Moreover, when two people fell from above the explosion, not a single person went to see what was happening, whether they were friend or foe, or if it was an enemy tactic. If it was an enemy strategy, everyone would constantly be on the brink of an ambush. Their vigilance was far too poor. Furthermore, the explosion occurred on the array, and Master Ping Chu didn't react at all.

During the previous demon attack, it was immediately apparent that someone was assaulting the array. Now after such an enormous explosion, how could there be no sense of it?

"Big explosion? You mean there was a huge explosion just now? And it happened on the array wall? Where exactly did it happen?" Master Ping Chu was stunned upon hearing Ye Tianfan's words.

This doesn't make sense. If such a massive explosion occurred, why didn't I sense it? It's known that this array is one of Master Ping Chu's specialties, even a slight disturbance, a leaf falling on the array wall, he would sense. Let alone such a huge explosion, he inexplicably felt nothing at all.

Hmm? Something's not right. Seeing Master Ping Chu's demeanor, Ye Tianfan immediately felt something was off. The explosion just now was clearly very loud, it couldn't have gone unheard. Even if the sound wasn't heard, the magnitude was so large, surely someone would raise their head to look up?

What exactly is going on? Ye Tianfan's mind was filled with doubt.

"Just now we indeed didn't hear a single sound of an explosion!" Master Zhichu sensed Ye Tianfan's complaint, but now realized he was also quite fearful. If Ye Tianfan hadn't heard it, he could almost certainly have lost both junior brothers today. Considering their current injuries, they would have been directly smashed to death, with no chance of survival. Primordial Spirit might escape, but if it leaves the body for long, it gradually begins to dissipate. Moreover, with Master Yuan Chu and the others' prowess, they would fully dissipate in at most seventy to eighty years.

"Just now, at the very top of the array, a flash of light directly crashed in, followed by a violent explosion. After the explosion, the two Uncles and Elders fell. At first, I didn't know they were the Uncles and Elders; I thought they were enemies. So I waited at the landing point of one silhouette, and upon closer inspection, recognized Uncle Zhen Chu. I quickly caught Uncle Zhen Chu because he didn't slow down at all. Seeing it was Uncle Zhen Chu, then the other silhouette must be Elder Yuan Chu. When I looked over to Elder Yuan Chu, he was still falling, with no one catching him, so I hurriedly caught him too!" Ye Tianfan explained truthfully.

After hearing this, Master Zhichu's face turned dark. Even a naive person would sense something wrong. Coupled with the words previously spoken by Master Yuan Chu before fainting, that they couldn't get out, it meant they were likely caught in a trap aimed at the entire Taichu Sect.

If everything happened as Ye Tianfan stated, it means someone likely blocked their hearing here, making them unaware and unworried about the sounds. But that doesn't seem right, normally Junior Brother Ping Chu's formation should detect the slightest disturbance, yet he hadn't noticed a thing. It indicated not only was their hearing blocked, but likely their senses were too, ensnaring them all in this area. If Ye Tianfan hadn't been sent out earlier, Junior Brother Yuan Chu and Junior Brother Zhen Chu might have already been gone.

It seems the enemy is using a divide-and-conquer strategy. Quite a tactic.

Master Zhichu was utterly infuriated, but he forcefully suppressed it. After all, he was the person in charge here. If even he couldn't stabilize his emotions, how would they face the enemy next? Should they charge in, filled with rage?

"Boom!"

While Master Zhichu was still treating the two, suddenly, a loud noise came from outside the array.

Ye Tianfan instinctively looked in that direction, the same direction he had come from earlier. There was only one demon there, just in a very pitiful state. Could it be that the demon caused some trouble?

"Elder Zhichu, I'll go take a look! See what's happening?" Ye Tianfan said to Master Zhichu.

Master Zhichu was actually reluctant to let Ye Tianfan investigate alone. Considering the enemy's divide-and-conquer strategy, sending Ye Tianfan to check might end up like throwing a stuffed bun to a dog, with no return.

But without investigating, they would have no understanding of the situation. Moreover, seeing Junior Brother Ping Chu's confused expression, he clearly had no idea of what was happening with the array!

So Master Zhichu reluctantly agreed to Ye Tianfan's plan, but still urged him, saying, "If anything unexpected happens, quickly fly back. Your safety is the priority. We can't afford anyone else getting hurt. Do you understand?"

Ye Tianfan nodded, then summoned the ever-speedy Carefree Sword and flew toward the direction of the loud noise.

Meanwhile, Senior Brother Yun Tian looked at Ye Tianfan's retreating figure with a complicated expression. If he weren't injured, he should be the one venturing out to investigate. It was unexpected that Ye Tianfan had to risk his life twice for this. He, as the senior brother, felt utterly inadequate.

Senior Brother Yun Tian silently lowered his head, then determinedly vowed to seriously enhance his prowess, to ensure that his junior brother would no longer have to take on risks that should be his responsibility!
