Chapter 3831 The Puppet
“Wow! I-Is this an immortal’s tomb?”
“What a grand sect! We’re rich! We’re rich!”
“There must be quite a few treasures here, thankfully we didn’t leave.”
Numerous cultivators had also rushed to the cave entrance, gazing down at the grand gate of the sect below. They were all so elated that they felt like jumping for joy.
Holden was also astounded by the scene before his eyes.
He hadn’t expected that the cave would actually lead to such a large sect. Numerous cultivators leaped down one after another, each filled with a sense of wonder and novelty.
At that point, Jared and his companions had already entered the sect’s gate. As they looked at the dilapidated houses and collapsed buildings, Jared couldn’t help but sigh with regret. “Stay alert, everyone! Be cautious of the traps within this sect!”
Jared knew that even if such a vast sect was destroyed, there were likely still traps and mechanisms lurking within its depths.
There could even be remnants of formation arrays.
After all, such a sect would undoubtedly have a great sect defense formation.
At that moment, Holden and his group had already caught up. Seeing Jared and his companions treading carefully, Holden stepped forward and asked, “Sir, is there still danger within this dilapidated sect?”
The reason Holden asked Jared was because he felt that Jared must have known about this place in advance.
After all, everyone was too scared to enter that cave, but Jared was the first one to do it.
How could Jared have dared to enter if he wasn’t fully confident and certain?
“I’m not entirely sure either, but it’s best to tread carefully. After all, in an establishment as vast as this, there are likely to be residual sect defense formations, not to mention potential traps and pitfalls,” Jared replied.
“In that case, let’s have my puppet scout ahead. If there’s any danger, we’ll be able to respond accordingly.”
After Holden finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve and two shadows appeared in an instant.
Following that, they transformed into two puppets as tall as a person. Under Holden’s command, they began to gradually advance deeper into the sect.
The hierarchy within Infinitnus Celestial Sect was incredibly stringent, which was evident just by observing the structure of the sect’s architecture.
Upon entering the sect’s grounds, they were greeted by a stretch of relatively low-built rooms. While some were in a state of collapse, others remained perfectly unscathed.
These must have been the areas where the ordinary disciples resided.
The deeper they ventured, the grander and more imposing the houses became.
Navigating through those low-rise buildings, one by one, individual courtyards began to appear. These must have been the residences of some senior disciples of the sect.
These individuals all had their own unique spaces for cultivation.
Jared and the others found a relatively intact courtyard, then they cautiously pushed the door open to enter.
Just as the two puppets had barely stepped through the door, they unexpectedly exploded without warning.
The once sturdy puppet, in a mere moment, had turned into nothing but dust.
This scene certainly gave everyone quite a fright.
If it weren’t for the puppet’s preliminary investigation, the soul of the person who entered first would probably have scattered.
“What a formidable formation! I can’t believe it still holds such power! How many years has it been?” Holden asked, expressing his feelings with a lingering sense of unease.
Jared’s brow furrowed, his eyes filled with a solemn look.
If a mere disciple’s courtyard was guarded by such an intricate formation, what about the main hall behind it? And beyond that, the residences of the elders and the sect leader? Would we still have the capacity to investigate further?
“Everyone, stay where you are. I need to assess how many arcane arrays are still active within these courtyards,” he instructed.
Jared was curious and wanted to know what was the difference between the arcane arrays laid down by a big sect from the celestial realm and the ones currently in use.
After all, Infinitnus Celestial Sect had been extinct for countless years. By the time the Vermilion Demon Lord arrived in Ethereal Realm, Infinitnus Celestial Sect had already been obliterated.
The infamous Vermilion Demon Lord had been suppressed beneath Demonia Mountain for several millennia, even predating the Celestial Battle.
Therefore, the destruction of Infinitnus Celestial Sect must have happened even longer ago.
Could it be that another horrifying war had taken place before the Celestial Battle?
Jared was deep in thought. He knew that anyone capable of annihilating Infinitnus Celestial Sect, a sect of such immense scale, must have possessed a terrifying amount of power.
