448 Optimistic (1/2)
For Ma Wang Shu, whoever made the boundary spell is trying to hide something very important.
'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 Wang 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 pawn earlier, but after the command that they need to hurry, he has not heard back from his master.
”What a stupid question.” Ma Wang 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 Shizi Empire on a dangerous passage.
”Hmp. A boundary spell mostly can only affect the surface space. We can try digging under, but that will also waste more of our spiritual energy.” Ma Wang Shu advised.
Xi Ma's eyes widened after hearing that, ”No need to dig! Shizi 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 Wang 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 Shizi 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.
