The mountain gate of the Sun Concealing Sect has been maintained for over ten thousand years; the Formation can greatly enhance their defensive power and attack capability. Not using this advantage and going out to meet the enemy is not the best choice.

"Request aid from Lianhua Temple and Taichu Sect!" Master Ba Run realized and shouted loudly.

Master Pan Xiao immediately contacted the Great Venerable of Lianhua Temple, and soon he received a reply.

"Good news, hold on for another two hours, the two Great Venerables of Lianhua Temple will arrive, and Lianhua Temple has already contacted Taichu Sect and Ten Thousand Beast Sect. It is expected that the Great Cultivators from Taichu Sect and Ten Thousand Beast Sect will also arrive soon!" Master Pan Xiao said excitedly.

This good news slightly eased the tension in Master Ba Run's heart, but what happened outside made him tense again.

The terrifying explosion sounds, the rising smoke from the magma, were advancing towards the Sun Concealing Sect's mountain gate with the fracturing of the ground and the crumbling of the peaks.

This scene entered the vision of Master Ba Run, the fierce methods of the invading Great Cultivators made him realize that today's matter would not end well.

"All Nascent Soul cultivators enter the Formation nodes, all Golden Core cultivators follow the Array Master's instructions to enter the Formation!" He once again issued an order to the sect's upper echelon.

The Nascent Soul cultivators, alarmed and under the command of Master Ba Run, swiftly entered the nodes of the Formation.

This was a rehearsal conducted by the Sun Concealing Sect to deal with powerful enemies; this rehearsal was never taken seriously by the cultivators of the Sun Concealing Sect. They never expected that one day they would actually need to use this rehearsal.

The Nascent Soul cultivators entered the Formation nodes, and the Formation was fully activated. A vast amount of spiritual power was extracted and roamed within the Formation.

The effect of the Golden Core cultivators on the Formation was far less than that of the Nascent Soul cultivators, but they had the advantage of numbers. The reaction speed of the Golden Core cultivators was much slower than that of the Nascent Soul cultivators, and they were still continuously entering various parts of the Formation.

As for cultivators with even lower realms, they were of no use in such a battle.

Their lives depended on the victory or defeat among the Great Cultivators; they did not have the ability to control their own fate.

"Why attack our Sun Concealing Sect's mountain gate?" Master Ba Run saw the appearance of two figures and loudly questioned them.

In fact, seeing that they were two Great Cultivators, his heart sank.

The aura of the two Great Cultivators was almost equally powerful, and just one of them was not something the two Great Cultivators of the Sun Concealing Sect could handle together.

Let alone the fact that there was another Great Cultivator with similar strength, this discovery shocked Master Ba Run tremendously.

"Who is Pan Xiao?" Master Wang He swept his gaze over the two Great Cultivators and asked in a deep voice.

He did not answer Master Ba Run's question but instead asked directly.

"I am Pan Xiao. Have I offended the two of you in any way?" Master Pan Xiao was stunned. Although worried, his pride as a Great Cultivator would not allow him to evade. He responded loudly.

"Attack first, talk later!" A fierce glint flashed in Master Wang He's eyes. Earlier, Master Yan Gao had attacked; now it was his turn.

Knowing now that this was Master Pan Xiao before him, he thought of Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan's death was most likely at the hands of a Great Cultivator. Even a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner would find it hard to kill Wang Yuan.

Based on the current information, the enemy was right in front of him. How could he let Master Pan Xiao go?

Master Wang He pointed to the sky, and dark clouds gathered thickly in the sky.

He had been preparing this spell ever since he approached the Sun Concealing Sect's mountain gate.

The "Thunder Cloud Skill" cast by a Great Cultivator was incomparable to the same spell cast by a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator.

It even seemed like a completely different spell; dark clouds covered the sky above the Sun Concealing Sect's mountain gate.

"Fall, thunder!" A cruel killing intent appeared in Master Wang He's eyes as he pointed towards the Sun Concealing Sect's mountain gate.

Electricity flickered within the dark clouds, and after accumulating for some time, the thunderbolt struck down towards the ground at his command.

Master Ba Run and Master Pan Xiao sensed the dark clouds in the sky and realized the horror of this strike.

Although Great Cultivators don't have to use Nascent Soul Dharma Forms to have powerful combat strength, the Nascent Soul Dharma Form still strengthens some of the combat power of a Great Cultivator when confronted by strong opponents.

They simultaneously manifested their Nascent Soul Dharma Forms, which stood like two giants within the Formation.

Nearly a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators and tens of thousands of Golden Core cultivators, under the Array Master's control, gathered spiritual power directed towards the two Nascent Soul Dharma Forms.

"Defend!" The Nascent Soul Dharma Forms of Master Ba Run and Master Pan Xiao shouted.

The Sun Concealing Sect's mountain gate Formation faced the sky's dome, and densely packed Array Runes materialized, each filled with vast amounts of spiritual power.

Lightning struck the Sun Concealing Sect's mountain gate Formation, and large sections of the Array Runes appeared dim under the bombardment.

Master Ba Run felt as if his heart was bleeding; the vast dimness of the Array Runes symbolized the massive damage being done to the Formation materials within the mountain gate Formation.

The materials for just these large Formations were extremely valuable, accumulated over countless years by the Sun Concealing Sect, and repairing the Formations later would not be a short-term task, requiring a significant amount of manpower and resources.

"Pan Xiao, what have you done?" Master Ba Run questioned Master Pan Xiao, borrowing the moment when the mountain gate Formation was blocking the attack.

Master Pan Xiao looked bewildered, trying hard to recall any wrongdoings he had committed.

The misdeeds were so numerous that he didn't know which one had brought Master Wang He and Master Yan Gao here.

As a Great Cultivator of the Demon Sect, one of the top Devil Cultivators, Master Pan Xiao had done many things that angered both gods and men.

But none of these things could logically connect to such powerful Great Cultivators.

"I don't know!" Master Pan Xiao shook his head.

Master Ba Run felt a wave of anger. Had Master Wang He and Master Yan Gao shown any desire to talk, he would have considered handing Master Pan Xiao over during negotiations to appease them.

Sacrificing Master Pan Xiao to prevent the destruction of the Sun Concealing Sect's ten-thousand-year legacy would be better than letting it all be ruined.

"Could you at least let us know what this is all about?" Master Ba Run loudly asked Master Wang He and Master Yan Gao.

"Wang He of the Yuqing Sect, and this is Yan Gao of the White Emperor Sect; does that ring any bells?" Master Wang He did not stop his actions, guiding lightning down from the dark clouds while introducing themselves.

"Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect!" Master Ba Run almost fell out of his Nascent Soul Dharma Form state into Nascent Soul State.

Either of these sects was not something the Sun Concealing Sect could provoke.

These two super forces, if truly angered, could dispatch Mahayana cultivators to sweep away the Sun Concealing Sect with a wave of their hand.

"Pan Xiao, think again, do you have any grievances with Yuqing Sect or White Emperor Sect?" Master Ba Run again pressed Master Pan Xiao.

"No, how could I have grievances with them!" Master Pan Xiao answered without a second thought.

Master Ba Run gave Master Pan Xiao a helpless look; internal conflict at this time could not be afforded, or he would've been tempted to give Master Pan Xiao a beating.

The opponents were clearly here for Master Pan Xiao, yet he still did not understand why they were here.

Master Wang He felt humiliated for being unable to topple the mountain gate Formation when Master Yan Gao had so easily breached the space barrier a thousand miles away, making him seem inferior.

Although the mountain gate Formation was indeed much stronger than a space barrier, he still felt embarrassed.

"If only the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' were still around, a single 'Thunder Cloud Skill' would have easily finished it!" Master Wang He thought, getting angrier.

The more he thought about the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl,' the angrier he got.

He continued to increase the spiritual power output to the 'Thunder Cloud Skill,' its power steadily increasing.

But the mountain gate Formation of the Sun Concealing Sect remained, even with two Great Cultivators in the Nascent Soul Dharma Form state present.
