In the middle of the dungeon was a three-meter-long stone platform with a skeleton sitting on top of it.
The skeleton was dressed in a loose-fitting long robe. Four corners surrounded the stone platform. A Frost Iron chain was attached to a protrusion on one of the corners. It was tied to the skeleton's hands and legs on the other end of the chain.
The skeleton was obviously dead because they were trapped there. But who could that person be? Why did the Hidden Hero Sect treat him so harshly?
Morticia was staring at the skeleton at the time, unable to escape her thoughts. She regained consciousness a few seconds later. She strolled to one of the nearby walls and read the words on it.
"Rufus Wintringham, the elder of the Hidden Hero Sect, acted foolishly and stole the secret formation manuals from the sect. He had committed an unforgivable sin…"
After a few minutes, she finished reading all the words on the wall. As a result, she understood the entire story.
The skeleton sitting in the middle of the stone platform was the Great Elder of the twelve generations, Rufus Wintringham. He was not only talented and powerful, but he also knew a lot about formations.
Secret formation manuals were kept in the Hidden Hero Sect's forbidden vault. The Yellow Emperor had created it. On the other hand, those secret formation manuals were very mysterious and profound. Since the sect's inception, no one had been able to comprehend the mystical theory. That was why they were sealed off and hidden.
Nevertheless, Rufus was obsessed with the formation. He secretly stole the secret formation manual and studied it. Unfortunately, he was discovered not long after. The Hidden Hero Sect's Sect Master was enraged. No one was allowed to read those secret formation manuals other than the Sect Master, not even when Rufus was the Great Elder.
Rufus was really a Master in Formation of the Hidden Hero Sect. All the diagrams on the wall were the array of advanced formations and the guide on breaking the formation from the secret formational manual. Each step was described in detail with the diagrams.
That was not the most shocking part. Morticia was most taken aback by the advanced formations engraved on the wall, which she had never seen or heard before.
Those formations included the Battle of the Star Formation, the Great Ten Desolation Formation, the Wheel of Fortune Formation, the Rebirth of Bloody Sea Formation, and so on. Those were all advanced formations created by the Yellow Emperor.
Morticia was submerged in those formations at the time and had no idea where she was. It had been an hour. After reading the array of formations and the guide on breaking the formation, she took a deep breath. She sighed and thought, "Wow, the Hidden Hero Sect had a genius in formation hundreds of years ago. It is a shame that a genius like him ended up locked up here, and no one cared about him even after he died..."
