But was Su Jiu really so easily led astray?
She stared into A Meng's visibly wandering eyes and repeated her question. "So, what exactly is this Grand Formation?"
By this point, Su Jiu and the Enforcement Hall disciples already had a faint suspicion.
That suspicion had actually come from Su Qingqing.
As they all knew, on the night before Su Qingqing and Yan escaped the Demon-Subduing Land, they had seen a mysterious formation.
