Chen Lin's expression shifted slightly when he heard True Lord Wanmeng's words.
He immediately asked in a grave voice, "You mean some of the giant pillars here have stopped working?"
If the giant pillars failed, the formation could no longer remain intact. This was no small matter, and he had to get to the bottom of it.
Knowing what worried Chen Lin, True Lord Wanmeng immediately explained, "There's no need to worry too much, Fellow Daoist Chen. Those abandoned pillars were damaged in the great battle back then, not by the Luo Monsters outside. As things stand, the formation is in no danger of collapsing."
He then added, "It's precisely because the formation is damaged that those low-level Luo Monsters can enter its perimeter. The Nightmare Realm's rules probably keep sending people here partly to prevent the Luo Monsters from destroying these pillars."
Chen Lin felt somewhat relieved.
As long as the formation would not collapse, that was enough.
Next, he asked about those powerful experts, then left the inn with the others.
Under True Lord Wanmeng's guidance, the three arrived before a giant pillar near the edge of the formation.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, the expert who saved me back then lives here. I don't know his actual name, but he goes by Cyan-Robed Divine Sword. He's also a cultivator. It was precisely because we followed the same path that he saved my life in passing."
After coming to a stop, True Lord Wanmeng began explaining.
He continued, "This senior is a Dao Inquiry Stage expert, and a sword cultivator at that. He's extremely powerful, but his temperament is rather eccentric, and he isn't easy to approach. I only met him once after he saved me. I visited him many times afterward, but was turned away every time."
