Han Lingshi spent an entire day dealing with the concerns of the citizen in the Phoenix Pearl City. The concerns were very small, like, employment, taxes, and security. She immediately took action. She called over Maya Okudera from the Palace.
The people were shocked when they saw her pull, and were also scared to find that she was from the palace. However, Han Lingshi quickly calmed them down. She did not disclose her identity to them either. It was because she was not sure if the enemy had planted spies in the capital.
Thinking about this, she also told Maya Okudera to use Xiao Mei's advanced technological understanding to come up with a proper identification system. Maya Okudera got to work, and Han Lingshi added one more companion with her for the journey, a secretary who worked with Maya Okudera to facilitate the communication between them and the palace.
It was almost midnight when the two ladies reached the city gate. There was a luxurious carriage parked outside the city and it was surrounded by armored guards. With her Yin and Yang eyes, Han Lingshi could tell that none of these soldiers were below the Core Formation Realm.
She was surprised by this set up. She looked around and found Yin standing in the distance with Yang. Han Lingshi asked, "Yin, where is your Big Brother Ren?"
Yin replied with a straight face, "Big Brother Ren said he stubbed his toe on the doorsill earlier so he is going to rest."
Han Lingshi rolled her eyes and almost cursed out loudly. This was an obvious attempt by this guy to run from being scolded. Han Lingshi wanted to keep a low-key, but Hao Ren arranged for hundred Core Formation, ten Nascent Soul Realm experts, and one Soul Formation expert to look after her.
How was this even low-key? The carriage looked like it was made up of white jade with ice trimmings on it. Ye Lan said, "This is the serene carriage, forged with Tranquility Jade as the core wedged between the layers of Hollow Star Iron. They are both rare metals known for their spiritual resistance. This way nobody would be able to peek inside.
The ice trimmings are spiritual essence of Divine Ice Lotus, ranked seventy-two among the top hundred natural heavenly treasures. It can prevent any and all sorts of poisons from invading the cabin.
...
In the eastern wilderness, a group of people was moving around in the forest, and they were burying small flags all over the place.
The person watching all this happening asked, "Whisper, how long will it take?"
A young lady with a cold face stood beside him, she replied indifferently, "It will be complete in a few more minutes, Duke Wen."
Duke Wen looked up at the horizon and said, "I wonder if those two old men would come to make an appearance when we face that monster. I wonder if he is still the half-step Dao Integration realm level."
Princess Whisper shook her head and said, "I think he must have entered Dao Integration level."
Duke Wen nodded and said, "I wonder if three Dao Integrations can stop him."
Suddenly, a burly man rushed over and said, "Your Highness, the array is set. We can begin as soon as those people rush inside."
Duke Wen nodded and suddenly he looked in the west direction and said, "Hide well, they are here."
