Deities: Starting From Goblins

This immense force was formidable enough that even a Sanctuary Powerhouse would have to weigh his chances of victory. Logan’s array would certainly not compare, and the over twenty thousand disciples of the Demonic Sky Gate naturally responded in kind. As a result, countless Divine Skills were unleashed on one point of the barrier.

At this time, the three Lords also rushed over, anxious at the sight before them. They had been overjoyed when Logan had activated the Barrier Array, thinking to come and observe the battle situation, but now they were all afraid. What if the Barrier was truly shattered?

After all, this was a siege by more than twenty thousand people. However, it was clear that they were worrying unnecessarily, for no matter how the onslaught persisted, the Barrier remained as steady as a mountain, not showing even the slightest disturbance from the sudden increase of over twenty thousand assailants, as the expressions of the people present varied greatly.

The Lords couldn’t help but burst into laughter, unable to resist speaking out, “It’s so uplifting. Just now, the Demonic Sky Gate had us fleeing in disarray, but now everything has reversed, trapping every last one of them within the Barrier. It’s an unaccountably satisfying feeling.”

“They’re nothing but ants,” Logan said with a faint smile, having never truly considered any of these people a threat all along. The only one Logan could consider an opponent from the Demonic Sky Gate was that one Sanctuary Powerhouse, aside from whom no one else was noteworthy.

Even the Sect Leader of the Demonic Sky Gate was no different; if it wasn’t for the threat of the Sanctuary Powerhouse, Logan wouldn’t have bothered to arrange two arrays, confident that he could resolve it by himself without a Saint Seat Rune, given his current strength.

Meanwhile, the expressions of the Demonic Sky Gate members trapped within the array were entirely different, all falling silent with fear and trepidation filling their eyes. Azrael Skyward was overwhelmed with fury that he couldn’t vent, pacing back and forth, contemplating how to escape.

He couldn’t accept being trapped by this insignificant Barrier Screen. That one variable, Logan, was truly detestable. With nowhere else to turn while under another’s roof, was he really about to beg Logan for mercy? He couldn’t stop himself from heaving a deep sigh.

The disciples of the Demonic Sky Gate, faces filled with despair, turned to the Elder and asked, “Should we send a message by carrier pigeon, asking the Demonic Sky Taoist to come? We can’t resolve this by ourselves. What if Logan and the others launch a sneak attack?”

“Within this Barrier Screen, everything is isolated,” the Elder of the Demonic Sky Gate replied. Even if they wanted to send a message, it wouldn’t get out—such was the terror of the Barrier Array, like being trapped in a small world, with no alternative but to escape.

Azrael Skyward sunk into regret. He ought to have realized it much earlier. They had been aware that Logan had helped the Wexler Clan with the City-protecting Array, but they had never taken it seriously, dismissing it as mere rumor and coincidence.

However, now that they were caught in the array, they realized it was not just hearsay. If Logan could break the City-protecting Array with his formation, his prowess in arranging arrays must be incredibly profound. Yet understanding this now seemed far too late.

Azrael Skyward, staring at the Barrier, bellowed, “Logan, stop hiding and come out. I admit I’ve met my match in you this time. Name your price, anything that my Demonic Sky Gate has of value, I will willingly concede.”

“Your Demonic Sky Gate is destitute, what resources could you possibly have that would interest me?” Logan shifted instantly, appearing from outside the barrier directly across, responding ever so lightly.

“The Demonic Sky Gate is still the foremost Sect of the Demon Path, and even if we have been situated in the barren lands all these years, the Sect holds many divine weapons and secret manuals. I do not wish for our conflict to be relentless and irreconcilable. Apart from trapping us, you lack the means to annihilate us.”

Azrael Skyward took a deep breath and then said, “Let’s put past conflicts aside. As the Sect Leader of the Demonic Sky Gate, I am prepared to accept whatever conditions you propose.”

“What if you regret it once I let you out?” Since he was trapped by the array, his words were naturally pleasant, but once freed, things would be different. It’s not just a matter of continuing to bow down to me; I’m afraid the next moment would bring a reversal and revenge.

Logan sneered contemptuously and then took a step forward, “You could inquire around; my array previously resolved a Sect Leader of the Supreme Sect. Is his strength far inferior to yours? Besides, even if the barrier can’t attack, can’t I just let a few Lords come in for a rotation battle?”

Over twenty thousand people from the Demonic Sky Gate were trapped in the array, where the spiritual energy was extremely thin. Coupled with the innate suppression ability of the barrier on cultivation, once a fight started, it would be hard for those trapped to recover their strength. A two to three-day exhaustion might leave them with barely one-tenth of their original power.

“Do you intend to trap over twenty thousand of us to death?” Azrael Skyward furrowed his brows, saying each word deliberately, “One should not be too harsh; I’ve already held back twice after you killed two of our experts from the Demonic Sky Gate. Aren’t you going too far? You can’t bear such a large karmic retribution.”

“First of all, don’t confuse the issue. I executed the Elder and the Vice Sect Leader of the Demonic Sky Gate because they came after me first, understand? I have no desire to offend the Demonic Sky Gate, but our enmity is irreconcilable, and one side must die. Cause and effect naturally exist.”

Logan looked at his words with disdain, “Besides, didn’t your Demonic Sky Gate have the wrong intentions toward the Western Wasteland from the beginning? And yet you can still play the innocent, which I admit, is admirable. But it only serves to annoy me more.”

“Aren’t you afraid of our Sanctuary Elder from the Demonic Sky Gate?” Azrael Skyward, however, calmed down, knowing that at this juncture, Logan would definitely not show any mercy; so no matter how angry or compromising he got, it was useless. Now, he needed to consider how to minimize his own losses.

If it weren’t impossible to inform the Demonic Sky Taoist, he certainly wouldn’t have wasted so much breath on Logan. He would have signaled for support long ago, as in his eyes, no matter how strong this barrier array was, it would be negligible before the combat power of the Sanctuary.

Upon hearing this, Logan instead smiled playfully, “I’ll give you a chance. I can let one person go to inform your Sanctuary to come here. I would very much like to experience the combat power of the Sanctuary and see whether this barrier is strong or if the so-called Sanctuary is superior.”

He only sneered coldly, thinking Logan had gone mad, having such confidence in his barrier. He hadn’t witnessed the might of a Sanctuary Powerhouse, who could collapse mountains and rivers with a wave of a hand, controlling the Great Law at will; it was impossible for a mere Array Master to contend with.

Almost everyone was pondering what exactly Logan’s game was, but no matter how much they thought, they couldn’t understand his intentions. However, since Logan had declared he was willing to let one person leave, it admittedly was good news for those from the Demonic Sky Gate.

Azrael Skyward’s eyes fell on an Elder, and he said, “You go.” He understood that although Logan was willing to let one person send out a message, it would certainly not be him, so he chose the most trusted Elder, who would definitely be able to relay the news.

“Sect Leader, you should go,” said the Elder, naturally wishing to leave, but he knew the Demonic Sky Gate couldn’t do without its Sect Leader. As long as the Sect Leader was safe, even if over twenty thousand people died within this array, the Sect could still be rebuilt. His leaving would be meaningless.

“I said, are you two starting to refuse now? I’m allowing one person to leave to send a message, not to leave, understand?”

Logan glanced at them, taking their discussions as if they were insignificant, “I’ll give you three minutes to decide. Once time’s up, don’t expect me to wait.”

“Don’t hesitate; hurry up and go,” Azrael Skyward also lost his patience. If they kept dithering, what if Logan suddenly changed his mind? Since Logan would definitely not let him leave, the safety of the Demonic Sky Gate’s people could only rely on the Elder.
