The Young Master Storms the City
Chapter 1217: Trap

Chapter 1217: Chapter 1217: Trap

The Elder’s face looked troubled as he grunted.

"From what we can see now, it’s highly likely that he has defected to the Four Sacred Sect."

Zhai Yonghui’s face darkened. Tian Wen was still alive, which was not the outcome he had hoped for.

He had actually wished for Tian Wen to die at the hands of the Four Sacred Sect.

Because as an Elder, Tian Wen knew too much about the Flying Immortal Sect.

And this information was a fatal blow to the Flying Immortal Sect.

"Can we confirm whether Tian Wen is dead or alive now?"

The Elder shook his head, his expression helpless.

"It might still take some time to verify the authenticity of this information. The disciples of the Four Sacred Sect who had been out on experiential learning have already started to withdraw back to the sect, and our people no longer have the opportunity to continue the hunt."

Zhai Yonghui fell into silence.

He didn’t know what to decide given the situation of Tian Wen.

"Sect Master."

At this moment, the Elder spoke again.

"I think we need to send someone to quickly ascertain whether Tian Wen is alive or dead. We absolutely cannot allow him to continue living."

Zhai Yonghui settled on an answer in his heart and immediately looked at the Elder.

"You handle this matter and make arrangements, but be very careful."

After the Elder left, worry appeared on Zhai Yonghui’s face.

He always felt that this time the Four Sacred Sect seemed to have prepared a trap for them, and now they, the Flying Immortal Sect, knew it was a trap but still had no choice but to jump into it.

Regardless, Tian Wen must die.

Meanwhile, Ning Fan had already made ample preparations.

A huge Formation had been quietly set up around the dungeon in the Sect’s back mountain, which was naturally rumored to be the place where Tian Wen was held.

The surrounding defenses were tightly guarded, with disciples patrolling everywhere.

Outside of the Formation, Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng looked at the Formation before him and the patrolling figures around him, puzzled.

"Sect Master, do you really think they will fall for this?"

Ning Fan’s confident voice fell, his hands clasped behind his back, sure of his triumph.

"You should trust me."

"If we appear too lax, the enemy will see through this as a trap at first glance and will not fall for it."

"Therefore, the act must be convincing, or else they won’t be fooled."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Peng immediately showed an expression of sudden realization.

"Let’s go. Now we just have to wait for our prey to come knocking."

Afterward, the two left the place.

The disciples of the Four Sacred Sect who had been out on experiential learning had quickly returned to the Sect, and among those who returned, more than a dozen had been lost.

Faced with such a situation, Ning Fan also felt helpless; after all, the current circumstances did not allow him to focus on these losses.

The trap was set, just waiting for the prey to come.

Outside the Four Sacred Sect, the people of the Flying Immortal Sect had already arrived silently.

And the first thing they did upon arriving outside the Four Sacred Sect was to inquire about everything related to Tian Wen.

As the stars shifted, several days later, night fell.

The Four Sacred Sect under the night sky seemed very peaceful, the patrolling around the back mountain dungeon was still orderly, and no ordinary person could approach even half a step.

Until this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in a gray robe appeared; the robe was embroidered with the pattern of the Black Tortoise.

He was about to enter the dungeon area when he was spotted by the patrolling disciples around.

"This is the dungeon, a restricted area. No one is allowed to enter. Leave immediately!"

The middle-aged man gave a calm smile and then began to explain.

"I am Sun Ye, the Elder of Xuanwu Hall. This time I am here by the order of our Hall Master to interrogate Tian Wen, to ask about the matters of him escaping to the Flying Immortal Sect."

Several disciples looked at each other, then the one who had spoken before said firmly, "I’m sorry, but without the Sect Master’s permission, we won’t let anyone in, not even the Hall Master of the Four Saints Hall."

Sun Ye smiled, sighed, and gently shook his head.

"Why do you have to seek death for yourselves?"

Sun Ye’s words left the disciples bewildered.

But before they could react, several figures suddenly burst out from the darkness behind Sun Ye, not giving them a chance to respond and directly attacking.

Some of the patrolling disciples had not even reached Foundation Establishment, and in an instant, they were slain by the attackers.

The total number of attackers was thirteen, dressed ordinarily, seemingly not from any Sect.

However, among them, two had cultivation levels that had reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

After killing these patrolling disciples, some immediately began to clean up the bodies.

Sun Ye then spoke unhurriedly, "There should be a few more people inside the dungeon. Just be careful."

"As for the outside, leave it to me to handle."

After all, he had used his Elder’s abilities to divert many of the guards.

A group of figures left four people to deal with the bodies while the remaining six headed straight for the dungeon, each already holding a longsword in their hands.

Entering the dungeon, the place was brightly lit, but as they stepped in, the attackers immediately halted.

To their surprise, there was not a single person to be found inside the dungeon.

Forget the prisoners; they didn’t even see a single guard.

"This is bad, it’s a trap!"

One of them quickly realized.

As the words fell, a luminous glow appeared under their feet—the sudden emergence of a Formation.

It was too late to escape; the Formation had already firmly encased them.

Then, as the glow faded into the surrounding darkness, countless sharp swords emerged from thin air, falling down with terrifying force.

Every Cultivator waved their longswords in defense, but the swords seemed endless.

Outside the dungeon, Sun Ye, who had been full of confidence, suddenly noticed the anomaly inside. He immediately realized it was a trap, a realization that filled him with unease.

Seeing the commotion, a few outside immediately drew their swords and rushed towards the dungeon.
