Just as Cui Qiao was growing anxious, a strange language suddenly rang out from across the way.
That Blockade Position lay diagonally opposite the point of invasion.
According to the commission, the people stationed at different corners of Qinggang City only had to watch their own positions. Even if something really did invade, as long as it didn't come through the Blockade Position they were guarding, it wouldn't count as a failed mission.
They'd still get their reward.
But while everyone else was focused on guarding their own positions, the shadow across the way had attacked the invader without hesitation.
While the others were only thinking about blocking and resisting, she had gone straight for the kill.
"I should've known. There's no such thing as an easy job from those old foxes..."
Wei Lan felt like a particularly dedicated worker. The moment she sensed that the prying gaze had returned, she pulled something from her shoulder bag without a second thought. It was a small object resembling a compact, decorated with intricate, exquisite patterns.
She stared at the traces of the invasion, gripping the compact in her hand as she murmured.
As she spoke those strangely unreal words, crisp sounds of cracking glass rang through the air.
The air seemed to freeze—or rather, some Mysterious Power transformed it into endless glass, spreading wildly across the night sky.
Faint and elusive, mysterious and unknown, it could refract any kind of power.
The mirror appeared directly in the path of the prying force's invasion, abruptly cutting off its trajectory.
But that wasn't all. Now that the cat-masked Wei Lan had made her move, she kept chanting Spells. Crystallizing air rang out in every direction, and five more enormous mirrors grew from the night sky, looming over the other five Blockade Positions.
