A very strong defensive measurement was put up around Meng Fortress. It was so heavily fortified that even Wu Qi found it tough to handle.
Qu Ping had taken the lead in Meng Fortress, and he had personally modified the place's defensive and warning system using countless mountain ghosts and stray deities. They stood shoulder to shoulder and back to back, forming an enormous sphere that wrapped around the entire Meng Fortress.
When faced with an absolutely shameless defense such as this, Wu Qi could only utter bootless cries. Even with his current cultivation base, even with the miraculous escape arts that he had mastered, there was no way he could penetrate the bodies of these ghosts and deities without being noticed by anyone. Though in the later part of Scroll of Stealing, there were some magical escape arts that could allow him to achieve that, but those were not techniques he could use right now.
