"Only High Person Jialan could have laid a formation and restrictive seals covering such an enormous area." Ximen Mei withdrew her gaze from the moon overhead and continued gravely.
"To be on the safe side, let me confirm whether we really are still inside the Jialan Secret Realm," Wang Yu suddenly said after a moment's thought.
"Oh? What do you intend to do, junior brother?" Ximen Mei looked over in surprise.
"Wait here a moment, senior sister. I'll step outside and be right back." Wang Yu flipped one hand, and the White Crystal Orb appeared in his palm. He then strode out of the courtyard.
Seeing this, Ximen Mei seemed to understand something.
After a few long strides, Wang Yu stood outside the courtyard, beyond the range of the Little Maitreya Cloud Banner Talisman Treasure.
Almost at the same instant, the White Crystal Orb in his hand began to tremble slightly, and six or seven red points of light of varying sizes appeared on its surface.
The largest red point lay at the center of the Crystal Orb. As large as a broad bean, it resembled a tiny cluster of crimson flame and shone with dazzling brilliance.
Among the slightly smaller red points, three were the size of beans.
Two clustered together near the edge of the Crystal Orb, while another stood alone elsewhere. Three even smaller points were grouped together as well.
One final point also lay at the center of the Crystal Orb, almost touching the largest crimson flame. Clearly, Ximen Mei had also killed quite a few Demonic Path disciples since entering the secret realm.
At the sight of these points of light, Wang Yu let out a long breath, then turned and strode back inside.
In the courtyard, Ximen Mei looked over at him questioningly.
