"No! Stop him!" The leader of the Veiled Abyss shouted at the top of his lungs as he tried to launch a spell in an attempt to stop Xu Qi from stepping inside the barrier.
However, the moment Xu Qi entered the first layer, it instantly closed again as if it was really alive and only allowed the one they invited.
Elder Zhou was also surprised at Xu Qi's actions. She saw it. The similar stone slab that Xu Qi produced but like the one floating inside the barrier, she had no idea about their origins.
"Was it a coincidence or did he conceal himself pretty deeply to take advantage of this situation?" She murmured.
Nevertheless, despite thinking like that, she repeated her orders, calling for the Wandering Palace disciples to continue protecting it.
Stopping Xu Qi was already out of the question but they still stood to not let the Veiled Abyss take hold of it.
