Huang Jinmo had intended to use the short-haired girl sitting on the ground as a breakthrough, seize back the initiative amid her lethal clash with Tie Tuisi, and save Zhu Weiwu. But she had forgotten that the Mo Sect Grand Master's letter had specifically named Xi Xiangyi to accompany True Lord Tie to the City of No Redemption!
Why had Tie Tuisi been listed alongside Xi Xiangyi in the Mo Sect Grand Master's letter?
Because this genius girl of the Mo Sect was commanding a power at the True Lord level!
One who wielded the power of the True Lord realm could be regarded as a True Lord even if their own cultivation was still far from that realm.
Looking across the world, no school valued and respected the power of external objects more than the Mohist School.
Thus, although this was a major matter personally ordered by the Grand Master—
Xi Xiangyi had still leisurely entered the city first, tested out her latest creation, and only then unhurriedly read the Grand Master's secret letter.
Tie Tuisi accompanied her in play, naturally because he doted on her. But to possess such a degree of autonomy before the Grand Master's command—and for this letter to be in Xi Xiangyi's hands in the first place... that in itself demonstrated her weight!
At this moment, Huang Jinmo brought down a seal.
Xi Xiangyi directly summoned a True Lord-grade puppet to meet it.
That phantom silhouette, swift as lightning in motion, solidified in an instant.
It was a burly man with painted eyes covered over, a crimson face and fangs, standing a full zhang tall, his muscles knotted and coiled.
His upper body was bare, his visage savage, yet he carried an upright and imposing air.
Like a god, yet also like a ghost.
