The burly man within the flames narrowed his eyes. He was also afraid that someone else would barge in here. He was not the true master of the grand formation and could not constantly keep track of what was happening within all ten Light Gates.
Only when necessary could he carefully sense their rough circumstances. After that, he would have to personally enter a particular Light Gate before he could control the attacks there.
