Outside the underground warehouse of the Illustrious Virtue Hall, a short and plump figure was moving quickly, channeling his entire body's soul power to activate one defensive soul tool after another.
This was none other than Lin Jiayi, sent by Jing Hongchen to carry out the final task. His movements were swift, racing against time.
When He Caitou and his companion attacked the Illustrious Virtue Hall, the facility immediately entered a state of maximum alert. The underground warehouse, carrying the highest hazard rating, was instantly enveloped by a layer of golden, transparent barriers.
This was a large-scale Level 9 defensive soul tool named the Golden City Shield. A full ten Golden City Shields were spliced together seamlessly, forming an airtight, octagonal prism.
The top, bottom, and all eight horizontal directions were thoroughly accounted for.

Mingdu, a mega-city with a population of tens of millions, would be instantly
