Chapter 16410 Headache
The people of the Divine Kingdom immediately noticed this situation, and General Li also received the news. He flew directly out of his base and into the sky. He saw a pillar of light not far away, as well as other pillars of light in other places. As soon as he saw those pillars of light, General Li's expression changed, and he immediately said, "It's the Golden Wheel of Creation. Have all the hunting teams go into battle."

The hunting squads are actually those squads that possess the sect's most treasured magical artifacts. General Li and his group gave those squads a name: hunting squads. These squads are responsible for hunting down those Creation Golden Wheels.

Following General Li's order, the hunting teams sprang into action. General Li, however, kept his eyes fixed on the pillars of light. Although he had been fighting the Blood Slaughter Sect for years and knew how powerful they were, he was also well aware that the Blood Slaughter Sect had been concealing their strength and hadn't revealed their true abilities. The fact that the Blood Slaughter Sect could still put up such a fight showed just how strong they would be if they truly unleashed their power. He wanted to know how the Blood Slaughter Sect would deal with them in this severely weakened state.

General Li soon saw countless Blood Slaughter Sect disciples pouring into those bases. At the same time, he also saw the hunting squad members arrive at those bases, preparing to attack the Creation Golden Wheel.

A sword light flashed quickly, heading straight for the Creation Golden Wheel. Surprisingly, the sword light struck the Creation Golden Wheel directly, which General Li hadn't expected. He thought the Creation Golden Wheel would at least release a spell to defend itself, but to his surprise, the Creation Golden Wheel didn't react and was directly hit by the sword light.

But the explosion he expected didn't happen the next moment. Instead, the sword light passed right through the Golden Wheel of Creation. General Li immediately realized that the Golden Wheel of Creation was fake, an illusion.

He breathed a sigh of relief. The next moment, he saw a yellow light shoot up into the sky from his base. Originally, a yellow beam of light fell from the sky into the base, but now, an even brighter yellow light shot out from the base. However, the yellow light quickly disappeared, as did the yellow light that fell from the sky. Of course, the Golden Wheel of Creation was also gone.

Upon seeing this situation, General Li was taken aback. He immediately said, "Quickly, send someone to see what's going on there." Someone responded immediately and flew towards the base.

General Li stood there quietly, watching with genuine curiosity about how the Blood Slaughter Sect would deal with them. A short while later, the person who had gone to investigate returned and reported to General Li, "General, the Blood Slaughter Sect used the Creation Golden Wheel to breach our base. Then they sent someone with a magic array directly into our base, and quickly set it up. I heard their array is a large array plate with many array flags. They set it up very quickly; the array plate and flags were already in place. The array seems to be a land-solidification technique."

General Li's expression changed, and he frowned, saying, "Land consolidation technique? That shouldn't be the case. Although the land consolidation technique is very powerful, that's our base. Our people know that place better than they do. If they use the land consolidation technique there, wouldn't that just benefit us and increase the difficulty of their attack? There must be other methods. Let's go and ask them again."

The cultivator responded and then turned and left. General Li stood there watching, but the base was very quiet and there was no movement. This puzzled General Li even more. After all, they had sent a lot of people there, so why was there no movement at all?

Just then, a sword light suddenly appeared. The sword light seemed to have shot out from inside the base. Judging from the nature of the sword light, it should have been released by a treasure-level magic weapon. This surprised General Li. He didn't know why the hunting team would use a treasure-level magic weapon. Could it be that the Blood Slaughter Sect's Creation Golden Wheel was still there?

Just as General Li was puzzled, a small group of people flew to his side with grim expressions. Upon seeing the group, General Li was taken aback, because it was the hunting team he had sent out earlier. General Li couldn't help but ask, somewhat puzzled, "What's going on?"

The leader of the hunting team looked at General Li and said, "We've fallen into the Blood Slaughter Sect's trap. When we attacked their Creation Golden Wheel, we only hit an illusion. That Creation Golden Wheel is fake; they used an illusion array." General Li nodded; he had seen that.

The man continued, “Their Creation Golden Wheel had already fled. We were preparing to enter the underground base to attack the Blood Slaughter Sect members. We saw the Blood Slaughter Sect members setting up a magic array, but we were attacking the Creation Golden Wheel at the time, so we didn’t attack them. Who would have thought that their magic array was set up so quickly? When we tried to attack their magic array, we discovered that it was actually an illusion array. After we entered the base, we suddenly found that it had turned into a maze, filled with huge stones. Some of the stones were fake, and some were real. We wandered around inside, but we couldn’t find a single member of the Blood Slaughter Sect, let alone their magic array.” At this point, the man sighed again and continued, "We wandered around inside for a while and were even attacked, but we couldn't see any of their people. In the end, we had no choice but to use our magical artifacts. We used the powerful energy fluctuations of the artifacts to forcefully break through the illusion array and manage to fight our way out of that base. But we dare not go back into that base. I'm worried that if we go in, we'll be killed by the Blood Slaughter Sect, and we'll lose our magical artifacts. That would be a huge loss."

Upon hearing this, General Li's expression changed, and he immediately said, "You mean that once our people enter that base, they will be trapped in an illusion array and won't be able to see the Blood Slaughter Sect members at all?"

The man nodded, and General Li's face grew even uglier. He immediately shouted, "Someone, notify the people at each base to send reinforcements to those bases that are under attack. Do not enter those bases yet, go quickly!" Someone immediately responded and made the arrangements. Soon, those who wanted to go to provide support all stopped in their tracks, no longer daring to approach those bases.

General Li's face was extremely grim. He then said in a deep voice, "Notify the representatives of all sects and aristocratic families, as well as the representatives of independent cultivators, to come to my place for a meeting." Immediately, someone responded again and went to make the notification.

General Li returned to the base's conference room. Soon, representatives from various sects, families, and independent cultivators arrived. After everyone had arrived, General Li glanced at them and then said, "Some of you may be wondering why I suddenly ordered the cessation of support to those bases. Isn't that tantamount to handing those bases over to others? Actually, I had no choice. The Blood Slaughter Sect has already set up illusion arrays at those bases. No matter how many of us go in, we will all die."

Upon hearing General Li's words, everyone was stunned. Then, their expressions turned extremely grim. One of them exclaimed, "An illusion array? It's actually an illusion array? It seems the Blood Slaughter Sect was prepared all along?"

General Li said, "It's not just an illusion array, but also a land solidification technique. In other words, they've created a composite array that combines an illusion array with a land solidification technique. Such an array is much more difficult to deal with."

The crowd's expressions grew even more grim. General Li continued, "Just now, a hunting squad entered the base and almost didn't make it out. Under these circumstances, I really can't send any more people in; that would be sending them to their deaths."

Bang! An elder slammed his hand on the ground, causing it to tremble. He then said fiercely, "Damn it, damn it! We forgot that those guys from the Blood Slaughter Sect are extremely skilled in formations. We already knew they were skilled in formations before they rebelled, but we forgot about it. Damn it!"

The others all nodded in agreement. They had indeed forgotten about this matter. The predecessor of the Blood Slaughter Sect was the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. When the Myriad Laws Divine Sect fought against various sects and families, it used different magic arrays. Whether it was a sect or a family, they had all suffered losses under their magic arrays. They had actually forgotten about this matter, which was why they suffered a loss this time.

Another elder then spoke up, "That's nothing compared to what's really giving me a headache. What's truly troubling me is how to deal with their attacks. Haven't you all figured it out yet? Their current attack method is to first use the Creation Golden Wheel to break through our bases, then quickly set up a composite magic array composed of land solidification and illusion magic, and then slowly attack our bases. Once that composite magic array is complete, the environment inside the bases will change. Although we built the bases and are more familiar with them, once the illusion array is built, the bases won't look the same as we know them. And I still haven't figured out a way to counter this attack. Has anyone else figured it out? If we can't figure out a way to counter it, we still won't be able to stop their next attack, which is not a good thing for us."

Upon hearing his words, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and their expressions changed drastically. The elder was right; if they couldn't break the Blood Slaughter Sect's attack method, they would be slowly squeezed out of Thousand Lotus Mountain, and then they would be truly finished.

Thinking of this, their faces turned even uglier, because they still hadn't figured out a way to break the Blood Slaughter Sect's attack. Did that mean they were doomed to lose?
