As soon as the door closed, Xie Xingchen asked, "How did it go?"
Lu Mingshu replied, "The altar's barrier levels are too many; it's impossible for us to infiltrate."
Xie Xingchen exclaimed angrily, "I knew the Jiulong were deceiving us! The Xuanyang Sect is at least a Great Sect, with Wushuai at the helm and over a dozen at the Void level. With our level of cultivation, how can we possibly help him steal treasure?"
Lu Mingshu took a piece of white paper, spread it out on the table, and sketched the valley's topography. Then she drew the barriers she had discovered on it.
After she finished, she stared at the map for a long time and sighed, "Our cultivation is too low."
If they were at the Void level, they could simply grab the treasure and run.
Xie Xingchen then asked, "So we're not doing it?"
"Wait first," Lu Mingshu said. "The ritual is in half a month, right? Let's see if there's a chance first."
If there's no opportunity then, slipping away later wouldn't be too late.
