any clan members failing to attend the
ceremony this meant that as long as
everyone remained within the city once
the formation activated Escape would be
virtually impossible I in truth if they
could dismantle the formation the Entre

of the matter was that they did not know
the location of the core and the only
one capable of locating it Shan yuanling
was missing jusen had initially planned
to persuade the chief guard to release
them then go to the square to expose the
saintus malevolence inciting the clan
members to disperse and subsequently
Unite with other powerful families to
eliminate the saintus however it

her plans preparing for multiple

glimmer of disappointment in his eyes
time was running out with merely a few
minutes remaining how could they
possibly escape the city perhaps we can
a sudden refreshing female voice
resonated within the room akin to a Cool
Spring cascading over them giu tontion
having deactivated her invisibility
revealed herself within the chamber
Jen's gaze met the familiar figure shock
etched across his face tontion the chief
guard startled instinctively turned his
right hand already on the hilt of his
sword a flash of silver glinting as he

he swiftly sheathed it again such was
the agility of the chief guard what are
you doing back guien struggle to rise
his eyes reflecting a despair he had
never known seeing guon tion he felt a

thought he had sent his daughter away
for her safety why had she returned
