Lin Ke continued, "Right now, the cultivators of the Illusionless Gu Sect are only using this Blood-Drop Restriction to make petty moves along the border."
"They have no intention of using it on the higher-ups. But if we can get a key figure afflicted with the restriction, someone whose life and death matter greatly to the Imperial Clan..."
"And the person Consort Yueji sent to liaise with us hasn't learned this technique, so I'll have no choice but to step in and help resolve it."
"As long as you have to resolve it personally, you'll have to be introduced to the Imperial Clan's higher-ups. That way, we can successfully draw their attention and further investigate how they plan to implement the Falling Formation," Mu Ting said, catching on.
"Exactly. But you'll have to teach me that Disguise Technique, because the person liaising with us happens to be one of my enemies."
Before they could continue, rustling sounds came from outside the room.
Lin Ke's expression immediately darkened. "The walls have ears-and there's killing intent."
Crack!
Before anyone could react, a ring of jade-green formation light swept through the middle of the room.
Several blasts of saber wind from jade-green broadsabers surged in from outside, converging inside the room and exploding.
A thunderous boom shattered the walls, doors, and windows. The entire room collapsed at once, sending fragments flying in every direction.
Caught off guard, all seven members of Lin Ke's party were thrown off balance by the explosion.
In the darkness of night, they got a clear look at the newcomer. It was none other than Liu Mingqing.
Behind him swayed five or six emerald-green broadsabers, each with golden iron rings along its blade.
Fine, close-packed scales covered their hilts. These were evidently also five Origin Tier Superior Dragon Weapons.
