"It was an oversight on my part, but you needn't worry. When Tian Tiesheng broke through the restriction just now, I took the opportunity to glimpse many of its intricacies. With the formation flags we seized from those two demons as well, I would say I have a sixty or seventy percent chance of breaking through this formation's light barrier, even without Tian Tiesheng." The Grand Elder sighed before speaking with complete confidence.
The others from the Mount He Sect all breathed sighs of relief.
Inwardly, however, the Grand Elder felt bitter.

He had doubled that estimate merely to steady everyone's nerves.
"Let's set aside the question of leaving for now. The Ba Serpent and whoever laid down the white illusory fog must have gone up above. We should hurry after them, or today's trip really will have been for nothing," the Grand Elder continued. Forming hand seals, he released a brilliant, translucent white light that enveloped everyone present, then flew straight into the blue silk restriction with them in tow.
Countless blue threads immediately coiled toward them, but just as before, the threads lost their keen senses the moment they touched the white light and slid away to either side. Not a single person was caught, and everyone passed through the blue silk restriction with ease.
"Set up the formation!" the Grand Elder immediately shouted.
The Mount He Sect disciples swiftly set to work and soon laid out the formation that worked in conjunction with the Restriction-Breaking Pearl.
The Grand Elder flashed into the formation, brought out the Restriction-Breaking Pearl, and activated it.
