Gu Xun'er Comes Knocking

Gu Xun'er was exceedingly brazen.

She came straight to their door and confronted them head-on.

However, it could not exactly be said that Gu Xun'er had gotten carried away. Anyone with a Two-Star Dou Sheng, two Half-Saints, and four Eight-Star Dou Zuns behind them, while their opponent had only a single Half-Saint as their sole guard, would probably confront them head-on.

The other Black Submerging Army soldiers had long since set up a formation around Canaan Academy.

Do not think formations were merely trivial tricks.

But there were only so many possibilities.
