As the Spirit Formations and twelve main gorges were cleared out, Ironwood Sect ran roughshod across the entire territory of the Celestial Star Sect. The Bone Towers Huo Hai had once concealed were also unearthed one after another.
Without a numerical advantage, without intelligent creatures to lead them, without the support of Spirit Formations, and with even their upper-level strength unable to resist, these Bone Towers could not hold out for long. Their defenses merely allowed the towers themselves to endure a few more attacks. The Bone Towers had no combat ability of their own and were swiftly wiped out.
Under the attacks of countless experts, the two Sect-Guardian Grand Formations steadily weakened. The Spirit Marrow and Spirit Crystals Huo Hai had left behind were also nearly exhausted. "What should we do? We won't be able to hold on much longer."
The Grand Elder shook his head bitterly. "Many disciples are now entertaining thoughts of betrayal. Even without that, our Spirit Formations can probably only endure for a few more days." He was chiefly responsible for these matters.
Lasting a full half month had already been far from easy. If they had not feared that attacking too fiercely would provoke an overwhelmingly terrifying backlash, those people would likely have launched an all-out assault long ago. If that had happened, their Spirit Formations would have lasted even less time. During this period, the sect had already captured quite a few traitors.
After what had happened before, they had tightened their surveillance over the sect even further. Sure enough, some traitors had intended to use this opportunity to wreak havoc within, even planning to break open the Spirit Formations themselves and let the enemy in.
Had the Sect Master and the others not prepared in advance, those people might truly have succeeded.
