Chapter 501: Chapter 317 Barrier_1
This spectacle left the old man dumbstruck. He had assumed that after one explosion, the Barrier Array would dissipate into smoke. However, the reality had once again foiled his calculations – Logan’s array was indeed terrifying.

Of course, the old man also figured it out. After all, the opposing party had used a hundred thousand spirit stones to arrange the array, and he had only used ten thousand spirit stones to explode it. It could only exert one-tenth of the force, so it was not surprising that he was successful.

Anyway, cracks had already appeared, and next time he would surely blast the Barrier Array apart. So, the old man took out another ten thousand spirit stones and continued to set up his Explosion Array, a scene that left everyone else agape.

Especially Celica Shingo: “It’s hard to imagine where exactly Logan and his team came from. Which power has managed to foster such outstanding young people? Compared to them, the so-called chosen ones are far inferior!”

“We must kill Logan and his team, or we’ll face endless trouble.” The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect also showed a brutal face. The friction between the two sides was now a life-and-death struggle. If they failed to kill Logan’s team, it would naturally be extremely unfavorable for them. They may suffer another setback in the future.

Watching as the old man’s Explosion Array was ready once again, everyone backed away a hundred steps. The seven great sect heads used their Divine Skills to create a protective shield. When the Explosion Array burst apart this time, the terrifying momentum was even stronger than before, causing the complexion of the onlookers to turn deathly pale.

At this moment, Logan’s Barrier Array broke, but the hundred thousand spirit stones suddenly expanded. For a moment, a golden light swallowed the spiritual energy, and the rules of heaven and earth were all converging; the hundred thousand spirit stones also exploded at the same time, which was a hundred times stronger than the old man’s Explosion Array.

Celica Shingo and others were in unbearable pain. This power was too ferocious. They felt like they were up against a Strong Dominator, and even the protective shield didn’t work at all. They felt as if there were hundreds of wounds on their bodies, walking through a sea of knives and fire.

The seven great sect heads dared not slack off. They had to hold on, using all their Divine Skills to maintain the protective shield. The explosion of the hundred thousand spirit stones persisted, which felt insurmountable. The sky above was also filled with tumbling Thundercloud, with Divine Rules hovering overhead.

After a long time, everything faded. The spiritual energy of the hundred thousand spirit stones disappeared at this moment, finally turning into useless stones, which all fell from the sky. Whether it was the spirit stones or Logan’s array, they no longer existed at this moment.

The six sect heads and Celica Shingo were all injured, but their lives were preserved. Their disciples breathed a sigh of relief. After all, as long as the sect heads were safe, everything would be okay. The sect head was the backbone of their sect’s power. If anything happened to them, the sect would undoubtedly be doomed.

Each of them quickly healed. All the Strong Dominators under their sect came quickly to protect them, afraid that someone else would try to assassinate them in the dark. After all, too many people had some ulterior motives. Even though everyone present was from their own sect, it didn’t mean there were no traitors or spies.

The old man wasn’t idling either. He started analyzing the arrangement of Logan’s array based on the fragments of spirit stones on the ground, which was extremely helpful for his own array mastery.

If it were normal times, he could only research from array books, but he was already very familiar with those books. Other arrays were too mundane, which made the old man lose interest.

After an hour, the few of them were finally healed. Celica Shingo released a long breath in his heart. He was indeed the biggest winner, not only was his son safe, but he also escaped a disaster.

The old man coughed, looking at the few people: “Since the matter is settled, it’s not good for me to stay. Let’s settle the previously agreed six hundred thousand spirit stones. You don’t need to reimburse the twenty thousand spirit stones I just used. I’m a person who is reasonable. The seven of you should be able to share the cost evenly.”

It was originally three hundred thousand, and suddenly it became six hundred thousand. The few of them felt very bad in their hearts. But thinking about it, it was they who voluntarily increased the price. It wasn’t as if the old man had raised the price on the spot. What’s more, a word spoken cannot be taken back. They were the heads of the big sects and they couldn’t break their promise.

The old man had a large network as an Array Master. It wasn’t worth offending him for a few spirit stones. So, they promised they will give it, but how the seven of them would share the cost became a big problem. In principle, ninety thousand spirit stones per person would suffice, but some people thought they should take less.

Like Celica Shingo, he coughed and said, “Originally, the opportunity for the Holy See was only for the six of you. Our Shingo Clan just came to get a share of the pie. In plain words, we just came to take a look. Why should it be shared equally?”

“That’s an incorrect statement. If it weren’t for you, how could we be trapped in the array? I think the six hundred thousand spirit stones shouldn’t be taken by us at all. It should be paid by the Shingo Sect. This can also serve as a lesson for Celica Shingo.”

Someone immediately retorted. They hadn’t blamed Celica Shingo yet, but he was trying to shake off responsibility? They certainly wouldn’t tolerate it. If Shingo Sect didn’t pay, why should the others? Six hundred thousand spirit stones was not a small number, no matter how large the sect, they couldn’t waste it like this.

The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect waved his hand and scolded, “Quiet, look at you, all without an ounce of grace. Each of us will take out ninety thousand spirit stones. The extra thirty thousand spirit stones are for the old man’s compensation. After all, he spent quite a bit of spirit stones setting up the Explosion Array.”

The heads of the sects didn’t argue anymore. After all, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect had spoken. Not only was he the eldest among them, but during the seizing of the Holy See opportunity, the Heavenly Sword Sect had taken the lead. Either way, ninety thousand could be accepted by each of them. What had just happened was merely a bit of grumbling.

After paying six hundred and thirty thousand spirit stones, the old man left contentedly. Normally, he would only earn ten or twenty thousand spirit stones for every move he made. This time, he earned six hundred thousand, which was inconceivable. At least he wouldn’t have to make a move for the next one or two years and could focus on studying arrays with spirit stones.

Meanwhile, in the mountain range, Logan suddenly stopped: “Not bad. I originally thought it would take at least one day for that group of people to break my array. I never thought it would only take three hours. There is a powerful figure among them.”

“I feel we shouldn’t continue further inside!” Shingo Butcher frowned, speaking in a rather perplexed manner. After they had made their escape earlier, they should have left the camp in the opposite direction. But Logan did the opposite and led him into the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

Not only were Demon Beasts rampant inside, but several sects were also watching like tigers outside. This route was like walking into a trap. Once detected by the sects, they would likely be in extreme danger. He really couldn’t understand it. After all, Logan was a highly intelligent person.

Logan simply smiled lightly, explaining: “Because I guess Bart Cloud will undoubtedly bring Wake Shingo here. After all, I have an understanding with him. The most dangerous place is often the safest.”
