"When they start questioning you, you'd better play meek," Jian Wuyi said.
"Of course. I can't let them catch me out. By the way, Wuyi..." Feng Qingyu descended from above and fixed his gaze on him. "You've rendered the Divine Sect a great service this time. Your standing in the sect should rise considerably, and the voices questioning you will probably disappear. Getting into the barrier core of the Ninefold Barrier shouldn't be a problem then, right?"
"It shouldn't. I already control three of its layers. Even if I only break those three, it'll make a huge difference. After this, I'll probably gain control of more. Frankly, if those people from the Ghost Sect trusted my abilities enough to put all their eggs in my basket, they wouldn't need to advance overland at all. They could simply send their strongest fighters to besiege Taiji Peak Lake," Jian Wuyi said.
"They're too cautious. Still, betting everything on your ability to break the barrier core does carry a risk. They want to attack from inside and out, with two layers of assurance. It would certainly make things easy for them. Too bad even they never expected a battle they thought would be easy to be turned into this by One Origin Divine Realm and a single border city. Most importantly, their army of corpse puppets and corpse beasts is gone. Those two old ghosts still haven't appeared. Who knows what they're up to?" Feng Qingyu said.
"They're the ones who suffered the loss. I can't be bothered with it," Jian Wuyi said.
"Fine. Then we'll follow the original plan. When the time comes, break the Ninefold Barrier from its core within and leave Taiji Peak Lake defenseless. Then go straight to Xuanyuan Lake and take the Six Paths Sword Comprehension Stone. Fang
