The battle before the armory began, and the entire armory's defenders sprang into action, converging on the inner storehouse from every direction, like a surging tide.
Meanwhile, Wei Yan dashed outward, fighting against the current.
To avoid leaking any information, none of the armory's defenders were aware of this operation, and only Wei Yan was lying in ambush.
He alone was enough.
More experts were actually scattered throughout the city. As the City Lord, Wei Quchibi, though he used the Dark Candle as bait, would never put the people of Fenglin City in danger.
Luckily, the tri-city discussions on Dao had attracted a large portion of the public as spectators, and the martial arts field was completely safe. This greatly reduced the pressure of defense.
The City Guard Army soldiers who met Wei Yan didn't say a word and immediately turned to follow him. Wei Yan simply ordered, "Just guard here, and don't leave without permission."
