Soon, they arrived beneath the barrier.
Gu looked back at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin stepped forward. "Open it."
The guardian of Zhang Ting on the other side of the barrier didn't dare delay and hurriedly tore it open.
Whether Gu was imprisoned wasn't up to it. It was just a tool that served the many creatures in Cloud Court and doubled as an informant and alarm for the Master Clan. Anyone could order it around.
Gu turned to examine Lu Yin. "Humanoid Skeletons are rare. I've heard that the Bone Language of the Dao of Death can make a creature's bones tear through its flesh."

Lu Yin was cold and arrogant. "They should be the ones preparing. Not many dare to stand directly in my way."
Gu was astonished. "You're even more arrogant than I am."
Lu Yin met its gaze. "Once we're out, follow me. I'll show you what real arrogance looks like."
Gu nodded and grinned. Beneath its smile, the scabs on its face peeled away, leaving it looking grotesque.
It turned its gaze to Wang Miaomiao. "Is this a human from the Flowing Camp?"
"She's from the Wang family."
"Not bad." Gu let out an admiring exclamation. It had been watching the woman all along. She looked at it without fear or disgust. That would have been normal if she came from the Flowing Camp, but the fact that she was from the Wang family made things interesting.
The barrier was torn open.
Gu charged out, with Lu Yin right behind it. But in the next instant, Gu was sent flying back. Lu Yin instinctively braced against it. The tremendous force surged through Gu's body
