At the sight of this, Jiang Mian's heart steadied instead.
[Inverted Sky Torrent] had already covered the entire western defensive line.
On top of that, Old Gu had layered [Mirror Flower, Water Moon] over it, completely sealing off the battlefield.

At present, no sealed domain could affect it.
If it were forcibly removed, it might affect the earth veins throughout the entire west.
Thus, Old Gu had specifically invited Jiang An, who had only just broken through to the eighth tier.
