"Then I'll leave it to you all."
After giving a few more instructions, Mu Qing Ming led Shangguan Yunzhi and several trusted disciples across the Great Wall, heading straight for the vast Demonic Path army formation.
At its root, formations relied on the use of the Heaven and Earth Laws, which was why they could unleash power far beyond that of the cultivators themselves.
But before a formation was completed, it was extremely fragile. Once disturbed, all previous efforts would come to nothing.
What Mu Qing Ming needed to do was break into the midst of the army, throw out the talisman treasures he had prepared in advance, destroy the formation's foundation, and then retreat.
In theory, the difficulty should not have been great.
Moreover, he had specifically brought Shangguan Yunzhi along to prevent her from being the fellow cultivator Tianwu had mentioned, using his departure from the city to stir up trouble within it.
"Holy Son."
Shangguan Yunzhi suddenly spoke. "You insisted that I come along. Could it be that you suspect I have ties to the Demonic Path?"
Mu Qing Ming frowned, gathering spiritual power in his palm as he prepared to turn hostile at any moment.
Yet Shangguan Yunzhi took the initiative to say, "Is it because of my correspondence with the Demonic Path? I truly have had dealings with them, but I had my reasons. And I have absolutely never done anything to betray Tianshui."
"I am willing to believe Elder Shangguan," Mu Qing Ming said gravely. "But words alone are no proof. I hope that on the battlefield, Fellow Daoist can prove the truth of your words."
"Very well."
Shangguan Yunzhi took a deep breath and brought out her Natal Spiritual Treasure.
Bang!
Mu Qing Ming suddenly accelerated, charging straight into the Demonic Path vanguard.
