Three hours had passed, but the barrier showed no signs of changing, still trapping the three thousand people in the mountain range. Those who had remained calm before were beginning to feel anxious even though three days had already passed.

“Well, isn’t this Logan? Why aren’t you guarding your defensive array? Yesterday, you were so arrogant that none of our pleas worked. Didn’t expect us to survive till today, did you?”

Logan and his companions had naturally arrived as well, but their appearance immediately attracted attention and jeers from everyone. This prompted Shangguan Bowe to lose patience and retort angrily at the three thousand people.

“You repay goodness with ingratitude? If it weren’t for Logan repelling the Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast, you would have been devoured by millions of demon beasts by now. Yet you show no gratitude and instead mock him? Is this your idea of righteousness? As cultivators, you should embody righteousness. But look at you, what do you have besides selfishness?”

Logan frowned slightly and shook his head: “Shangguan Bowe, don’t bother arguing. These people are beyond hope. Arguing with them is pointless. From now on, we have no connection with them. Let them gloat.”

“Can’t admit when you’ve lost, resorting to pretending to be righteous?” someone sneered coldly: “Yesterday, when you saw three thousand people facing death, you acted selfishly, neglecting your duty to protect. If you had true righteousness, you would have allowed the three thousand people into the array. We haven’t even revenged yesterday’s hatred, and you’re already obliged to us.”

“That’s right, now there is urgency to get out. Otherwise, we’d have taught Logan a lesson, leaving him at least crippled to see if he could still be provocative. I don’t know who gave him the gall to be so arrogant in front of us.”

Another person echoed, looking at Logan with a displeased face. They were almost devoured by millions of demon beasts yesterday. If they hadn’t narrowly escaped death, they wouldn’t be alive today. And all of this was due to Logan, who was unwilling to share the array and wanted the three thousand people to be devoured.”

Shangguan Bowe didn’t want to continue the argument but couldn’t help replying: “You obviously brought this on yourselves, so why blame Logan? Logan’s array only had room for a few people and couldn’t accommodate you all. He even offered to sell you the formation map for spirit stones, but you refused, even accusing him of extortion.”

In his view, these people must regret not accepting Logan’s offer. After all, if they had agreed yesterday, they would have only needed to spend a little on spirit stones to buy the formation map. The map’s power was enough to handle even a Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast. But they refused to recognize this and now regret it.

Even if Logan kept some details of the array to himself, what he sold to the public couldn’t be far off. It must be more than capable of defending against general Sovereigns, let alone Half-step Sacred Thrones. He would definitely beg Logan to sell him one if he weren’t too embarrassed to broach the subject.

“You’re in cahoots with Logan, so, of course, you would defend him. What if you were in our shoes? Would you be as sanctimonious then? You have the gall to say that our retribution against Logan has anything to do with you? Don’t think you can look down on everyone just because your sect is powerful.”

Shangguan Bowe’s words hit a nerve with the three thousand people. They immediately put up their defenses and began hurling insults at him. Shangguan Bowe naturally fought back, but he was outnumbered. Even the assistance from the other two people, Ba Ke Yun, didn’t help.

Logan frowned and stepped forward: “If anyone is dissatisfied, I am here. You are free to attack me. If you can win, you can naturally get the array. If you dare not, stop whining.”

Upon hearing this, the three thousand people exchanged looks. The air suddenly seemed to drop in temperature. No one dared to speak. They didn’t have the courage to challenge Logan, especially after remembering the over a hundred Thrones which had been devoured by millions of demon beasts.

The remaining three thousand people could only muster up ten Thrones. On Logan’s side, Shangguan Bowe’s guard was a Full Throne. A Full Throne was equivalent to a Half-Step Sovereign, so they were no match. Ba Ke Yun, whose strength was unfathomable, was at least at the Throne level.

Even if they were to back down, Logan’s mysterious array was something they could never offend. After all, even the Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast had been defeated in it. The mere thought of it made the Transcendent Tier cultivators break out in a cold sweat.

At this point, someone tried to mediate: “Everyone stop arguing. The most important thing now is to leave the mountain range as soon as possible. After all, it’s already late in the afternoon, and it will be dark after another four or five hours.”

This statement was a wake-up call. Everyone looked at the barrier around the mountain range and fell into endless panic. Their arrays had been dismantled today. If they couldn’t leave the mountain range today and it turned dark, how could they withstand the onslaught of millions of demon beasts?

Compared with everyone else’s anxiety, Logan was a little calmer. At least, after scaring away the Half-Step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast, no more millions of demon beasts dared to come. So, staying in this mountain range was safe. The key was the barrier had not been removed, and he couldn’t leave.

After examining the situation, Shangguan Bowe drew a conclusion: “It’s very difficult. The mountain range barrier is exceptionally strong, and the spiritual energy within it is surging. Unless someone opens it manually, this barrier can exist for at least a year and a half.”

“That doesn’t make sense. The Sanctuary Powerhouse said the trial would only last three days, and after three days, this barrier should open automatically. Could it be that such a prestigious Sanctuary Powerhouse would deceive us? Moreover, what would be the point of tricking a group of transcendental people like us?”

Many people didn’t want to believe it and were even praying silently. They hoped that the Heavenly Saint Taoist would descend in the next moment and dissolve this barrier. But they all knew in their hearts that if the Heavenly Saint Taoist wanted to come, he would have done so by now. At this point, their only thought was to hold on to unrealistic hopes.

Logan fell into deep thought. He had felt earlier that the Heavenly Saint Taoist had ulterior motives and didn’t seem like a soon-to-be-deceased Sanctuary Powerhouse. He was now more certain about this. But what was the meaning of trapping everyone in this mountain range? Logan felt he had grasped some opportunity in the dark, but he couldn’t quite put everything together yet.

“Don’t worry. If we’re stuck in this mountain range, our families and sects will definitely be worried and will send people to rescue us. Everyone should wait patiently and not cause any chaos.”

At this point, someone spoke up. His own clan was one of the top clans, and he was a young master of prestige. He was the future successor of his clan. If he didn’t return for a long time, his clan would definitely suspect something and send many experts. He believed that other people in the crowd would experience the same.

However, as soon as these words were uttered, someone poured cold water on them: “If the Sanctuary Powerhouse doesn’t want to let us go, which sect dares to oppose? Even if we were sacrificed, they wouldn’t want to offend the Sanctuary Powerhouse. Because if a Sanctuary Powerhouse wanted to, he could destroy a sect in a breath.”

“Brother Logan, what do you think of this?” Shangguan Bowe turned to Logan, who was standing to the side and for reasons unknown, he had started to think Logan was the backbone, placing all his hopes on him.”
