'What could it be?' She asked herself. The black smoke also indicates that YinYings are attacking.

She is not used to YinYings action to be so reserve. If kidnapping the gate domain gatekeeper, almost making the domain gate unusable, as well as attacking an entire city can be considered being reserved.

Wreaking havoc loudly is a more familiar sight. A city that is being attacked silently is just strange.

Ma w.a.n.g Shu regrets not asking her sister, Ma Fei Hong with the Mortal Domain affairs. At least, the woman should be able to spill a top secret while being on a blood drunken state.

"Can't you remove it?" Xi Ma asked laced with annoyance.

He cannot communicate with everyone and with the scale of the attack; there is a high chance that a lot of the Wei palace retainers are already injured or probably dead.

'I hope not.' He thought to himself gravely. Xi Ma tried to communicate with Wei Jiayi using p.a.w.n earlier, but after the command that they need to hurry, he has not heard back from his master.

"What a stupid question." Ma w.a.n.g Shu replied with annoyance as well. "We need a very strong light energy from within that I can use as a weak point of the spell. Aren't Keepers stronger than a regular Immortal? You remove it since you are complaining a lot."

"I already did it if I can!" Xi Ma shouted due to frustration. He never liked this Justice League captain since before.

She has the presence of a tricky being that is not easy to be trusted. Whenever the woman looks at him, it gives him the weird feeling of being examined in a very bad way.

In fact, if they were not saved earlier by her unit, Xi Ma would not tolerate her presence at all and will insist to join Wei Jiayi to go to s.h.i.+zi Empire on a dangerous pa.s.sage.

"Hmp. A boundary spell mostly can only affect the surface s.p.a.ce. We can try digging under, but that will also waste more of our spiritual energy." Ma w.a.n.g Shu advised.

Xi Ma's eyes widened after hearing that, "No need to dig! s.h.i.+zi Empire has Underground chambers!" He exclaimed with delight as they are now going somewhere. "Why did I not think about it from the very beginning?!"

"True. It would have made our lives easier. Well, thank you for telling us your empire's primary security secret." Ma w.a.n.g Shu said, giving Xi Ma a thumbs up before hitting his back strongly and exclaim, "What are you waiting for?! Point us in the right direction!"

Xi Ma gritted his teeth as he endures the sting of pain on his back. He was still recovering from the shock of suddenly revealing s.h.i.+zi Empire underground tunnels that have the initial intent to be used for evacuation.

The Justice Affairs captain made him question impulsive action of just blurting out something that he is not supposed to, making him feel guilty somehow.

Now, who knows if the tunnels will be used in the future for uninvited beings to enter?

"Oy! Move!" Ma w.a.n.g Shu urged again.

He looked at Ma w.a.n.g Shu suspiciously while thinking of a possible way to dissuade her. In the end, he decided to just give up the secret about the tunnels. In the first place, these tunnels are supposed to be for everyone's safety which is their goal.

Wei Jiayi allowed him to do what is necessary during an emergency crisis. Right now, it is best to fully cooperate with Justice Affairs until the calamity is over.

After releasing a deep breath, "There are large rock formations. We need to look for that and I will help you all on entering after we find it." Xi Ma explained. The problem is they are still within a spell boundary. Can they find it or they will run again on a never-ending loop?

"Hmm. That can be hard as well." Ma w.a.n.g Shu said before crossing her arms over her chest. "This is going to be a drag, we had been running into circles since earlier. Are you sure this rock formation is the only one around here?"

Xi Ma nodded seriously as he agreed to what the woman said. "Yes. How do you propose to look?"

"How long are these tunnels?" She asked instead.

"The tunnels under the whole s.h.i.+zi Empire. If I will estimate it, we should be standing above one of the tunnels. I just do not have a way to verify that due to the boundary spell."

"Good No need to worry about that. The farthest area of the boundary spell is the weakest. That is the reason why we can only feel its effect completely as we try to get closer to the Empire walls." She said before turning around and jumping towards to where they came from.

All of them, of course, followed even Zhao Liwei's retainers that are just silently observing. 'What an optimistic group.'

He had a good impression with the beings from the beast planet before as his own master is a beast as well.

Now with the way they remind them every chance they get to prioritize Zhao Liwei safety first, he probably would avoid them in the future, especially in times of need.

Xi Ma is still remorseful about this. It is just a good thing that in the future, he will have a chance to redeem himself in front of Zhao Liwei's retainers…

Captain Ma truly jumped far, they arrived near her and see that her hand is raised in front of her, the tip of her middle finger continuously pours blood out that creates a burning hole on the ground!
