It was just as Mi Jingyun had said: outside the maze, you couldn't die.
Ke Meng's spiritual senses hadn't issued any warnings either. Pushing the Wraith out ahead of him as a shield had merely been a precaution.
Ke Meng pinned the Cat-Faced Wraith's hands behind its back, holding them with one hand as he marched his captive along outside the walls.
