Atop the crenellation.
Break—
Jiang Ning shouted inwardly, and his Spiritual Power erupted in an instant.
In a flash.
The illusion before his eyes vanished, and the beautiful hot spring scene he had just seen shattered like foam.
Afterward, his mind instantly recovered its pure brightness.
His eyes also saw that the lithe Black Skirt Woman had already flown up from a corner of the eaves, swiftly sweeping across midair to arrive beneath the steep city wall.
The next moment.
He saw the woman holding a black jade hairpin in her hand. The jade hairpin stabbed into the city wall, and the hard wall was instantly pierced with a hole. Afterward, the Black Skirt Woman's figure immediately rose rapidly.

"Since she's not fifth grade, what's there to be afraid of?"
Jiang Ning's heart immediately settled.
Then his pupils scattered once more, and he immediately revealed a dazed, absent expression.

But when he saw the means by which the Black Skirt Woman climbed the city wall, he knew he had been overthinking.
Though the Black Skirt Woman's methods were miraculous, her Martial Dao cultivation was mediocre; she wasn't even
