"Yes, subordinate understands."
He Shijiu nodded in response, fully grasping the leader’s intention.
Given the current situation, the master has yet to respond. Once they do, they will certainly confiscate all the food supplies for unified distribution.
By then, the resources allocated to their Bloodthirsty Squad will definitely not be more than now.
The leader’s intent is for him to hide the supplies while no one thinks of it, to avoid complications when the master inquires later.
"Divide the rest into two teams, one team follow me to check the situation outside the city. The other team must guard the Inner City well, ensuring those people lose any opportunity to exploit. If anything happens again, not even I can protect you from the master’s wrath."
Xiao Yi instructed again.
"Yes, leader, subordinate understands." The others responded in unison.
...
On the other side, Yang Tianxiu was full of confidence, believing that as long as he followed the secret passage, he could walk out of Rock City and observe the situation firsthand.
Previously, to guard against any unforeseen events, he invested heavily to coax the Original City Lord into building this secret passage leading outside the city, then killed all the civilians who constructed it, leaving none alive.
And back then, the reason he successfully assassinated the Original City Lord and took his position was by sneaking through this secret passage to poison the Original City Lord.
Therefore, he had great faith in this secret chamber.
Yet, after walking for almost a day, just when he was about to pass a few side passages to reach the exit and leave Rock City, an unexpected event occurred.
With a ’bang’,
his face smashed solidly against a wall.
Coming to his senses, he found two streams of nosebleed flowing, forcing him to raise his hand to cover his nose.
He looked carefully and saw nothing unusual. Clearly, the secret passage should continue ahead, and according to the marks on the passage walls, just a short time more would lead to the exit.
Yet, even with the exit seemingly before him, he could not proceed any further.
"What is this thing?!"
He raised his hand, slowly reaching forward, soon feeling a barrier that he could not budge despite pushing hard.
He tried using his strength, but the more force he applied, the more he felt an opposing force pushing back, leaving him with a faint sensation of suppression.
This was truly unprecedented; how could such a miraculous thing exist in the world?
"Could it be an array formation?"
He had heard of special individuals capable of cultivating secret arts, refining them into array formations using Heaven and Earth Treasures, to trap those they wished to ensnare.
He had also seen some prominent clans and Sects employ such things before.
But those were always small, barely trapping a few people.
The barrier before him, however, encompassed the entire Rock City—a feat unmatched even by those in the Seasonal Moon Plane.
He believed people from the Seasonal Moon Plane didn’t possess such skill.
"Could it be someone from outside the planes?"
Other than this, there seemed no other possibility, but how could outsiders enter the Seasonal Moon Plane?
It must be noted that the Seasonal Moon Plane had been sealed for so many years that few within it knew of paths to other planes, making it implausible for outsiders to cross over.
