Xu Qingtong had not expected the formation around the Ink Fragrance Pavilion to be so formidable that even Dongfang Hui could make nothing of it.
After a moment's thought, he said to Dongfang Hui, "Senior Sister Dongfang, I'll attack the formation. Take the opportunity to examine how it operates. Perhaps you'll spot something!"

Xu Qingtong attacked for the time it took
