Chapter 1562

"Haha, heroes always have to have a bit of temper."

"Fine, fine, you old stubborn, come drink again tomorrow; I'll treat you."

"Coming right up."

Hearing someone treat him to wine, the old alcoholic smiled even more happily, and then under the gaze of everyone, he turned and walked staggeringly into the darkness.

Watching the old alcoholic disappear into the darkness, the cultivators shook their heads with a smile.

What a strange old guy; why go anywhere else but the Iron Prison Pass, and saying he makes the world his home? Never seen such a strange person.

But they were used to it, so everyone didn't think much and separated to go back one after another.

The night grew deeper, and inside the Iron Prison Pass in the darkness, it was extremely quiet at this moment.

This is the normal situation for a strategic pass; Wanyao Pass is completely an exception.

Where is there a scene as lively as the Ten Thousand Demon Pass in the middle of the night?

True life at a strategic pass is dull and tedious; aside from cultivating and drinking, the rest is just fighting.

Moreover, once a battle breaks out, it means someone will fall, meaning life-and-death separations; therefore, the two words "strategic pass" represent more of sorrow, loneliness, and desolation.

It was a night no different from usual, but on such an ordinary night, the cultivator responsible for guarding, who was originally normal, suddenly discovered that the array formation guarding the pass was closed?

He asked his companion with confusion.

"Why is the array formation closed?"

You must know that the array formations of the three great strategic passes can absolutely never be shut down, especially this side facing outward, which is in a permanently activated state year-round.

Even if it costs massive resources, it is never closed.

Because once there is no array formation, then when facing an attack from an external race, this so-called strategic pass is also completely vulnerable.

Never mind an Emperor Realm expert; even if a Saint Realm powerhouse came, without the protection of an array formation, a casual strike would be enough to easily crush this so-called strategic pass.

Therefore, the array formation is the key factor in protecting the strategic pass.

But at this moment, the array formation on the side of the Iron Prison Pass facing the Barbarian race was closed.

This made many cultivators responsible for guarding stunned; how could the array formation be closed?

"Hurry and notify the Elder."

Someone immediately went to notify the guard Elder on duty tonight.

And when the Elder learned the news, he also quickly rushed to the City Lord's Mansion.

The control of the array formation is set up in the City Lord's Mansion; only there can the closing and opening of the array formation be determined.

Rushing straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

The current Iron Prison Pass is in a special period; the people below might not know everything, but as an Elder, he knows very clearly.

That is, the current Iron Prison Pass has no Great Emperor sitting in town.

The Great Emperor ancestor from the Yunluo Sacred Ground who was guarding the Iron Prison Pass returned to the Yunluo Sacred Ground temporarily because of something and hasn't returned yet.

At this time, in the Iron Prison Pass, all matters are managed by several Great Saint Elders of the Yunluo Sacred Ground.

The Great Emperor is not here, and now the array formation has inexplicably closed, which is why this Elder is so panicked.

After all, if they encounter a Barbarian attack at this time, things will be troublesome.

Moreover, how could the array formation close for no reason? This is absolutely impossible.

As for the nonsense about resources being exhausted, that is even more impossible.

Every month, the Qingtian Sacred Ground transports a batch of spirit stones sufficient to maintain the operation of the array formation, and inside the Iron Prison Pass, there are spirit stones stored all year round sufficient to maintain the array formation for a year.

That is to say, even without the support of the sacred ground and the outside world, relying on the Iron Prison Pass's own spirit stone reserves is enough to maintain the operation of the array formation for a year.

Under such circumstances, how could the array formation inexplicably close?

Many conjectures emerged in his heart, but none of them stood up to scrutiny.

Just as this Elder was rushing to the City Lord's Mansion, the old alcoholic, who was originally leaning against the corner of a small alley wall, also slightly opened his eyes at this moment.

His eyes were clear, where was the drunkenness of the daytime? The eyes that seemed unable to open all this time were now as sharp as knives.

His gaze looked far into the sky; the originally bright moonlight was slowly covered by a thick layer of dark clouds, the darkness obscuring the moonlight, as if predicting that something was about to happen.
