"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute." Rowling glared at Zijing with annoyance.

Li Xuanming already knew Rowling's identity and understood that this seemingly gentle and mature woman was a descendant of Luo Tong. So Li Xuanming said politely and even respectfully, "Ms. Rowling, my words may seem contradictory to you, but they are not actually contradictory."

“We just didn’t fully wake it from its slumber, but it did wake up a few times. However, those times it woke up were like we were dreaming, in a half-awake state.”

Rowling looked enlightened and said, "I see."

"So it will remain asleep like this forever?" Xu Pingan asked.

“Perhaps,” Li Xuanming said.

Suddenly, Ye Feng spoke up: "Open a section of this defensive array. I want to go in and observe the spirit beast, the divine sheep, up close."

Li Xuanming was shocked and quickly advised, "Absolutely not! Even with this defensive array, the power of the Divine Sheep will still seep through, turning me into what I am now. If the defensive array is opened and you, City Lord, enter it, you will definitely..."

"Trust me, I never do anything I'm not sure I can do," Ye Feng said earnestly.

"But...but..."

Li Xuanming was still hesitating, but Zijing said casually, "Just trust our ancestor. He's very powerful. I've never seen him fail."

Rowling nodded to Li Xuanming.

Chen He and Xu Ping'an are naturally the same.

The power of the night wind is deeply ingrained in everyone's mind; everyone in Silla City knows this.

In their eyes, the night wind is practically omnipotent!

“Alright, I’ll do as you say, but I still have to say, this isn’t a wise choice,” Li Xuanming sighed.

As Li Xuanming spoke, he opened his arms and released powerful true energy, causing the tentacles on his back to writhe.

The next moment, Li Xuanming cast a series of hand seals, and the ground around him lit up with ripples of light.

Before long, a narrow crack appeared in the hemispherical defensive array, just big enough for an adult male to pass through.

Night Breeze nodded in satisfaction, then walked towards the interior of the defensive array.

But at that moment, Zijing suddenly ran over.

“I’ll go in with you!” Zijing said, grabbing Yefeng’s arm.

"You're not afraid anymore?" Ye Feng looked at Zi Jing in surprise.

Zijing said somewhat embarrassedly, "Of course I'm scared, but I think it's safer to go in with you. So instead of waiting for you here, I'd rather go in with you."

Upon hearing Zijing's words, Yefeng chuckled silently.

Unexpectedly, Rowling also stepped forward and said, "Ancestor, I'll go in with you!"

"Why are you causing me trouble too?" Ye Feng said, somewhat annoyed.

A blush rose on Rowling's mature and beautiful face, and then she said somewhat embarrassedly, "Ancestor, you have gone out on several missions without me each time, so I think it is necessary for me to go in with you this time."

"Let's forget it, Rowling. You can wait outside. Zijing and I will go inside the defensive array," Yefeng said.

Rowling's face immediately showed deep disappointment: "This...why is this? Why did you bring Zijing but not me? Who is your descendant?"

Rowling was so disappointed and agitated that she wouldn't have said such a thing in front of so many people.

Zijing became extremely proud, put her hands on her hips and acted arrogantly, even making a face at Rowling.

Ye Feng said seriously, "This is actually a very simple principle. If Zijing dies inside, it won't have any impact on our Silla City. But you are different. You are not only the Director of the Foreign Affairs Department of our Silla City, but also the Director of the Logistics Support Department. If something happens to you, our Silla City will be in big trouble."

Night Breeze's words finally made Rowling feel much better.

So it turns out that the ancestor valued me highly, which is why he was unwilling to take me on any risks!

Thinking of this, Rowling felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and at the same time felt ashamed of her slip of the tongue.

Zijing, however, was furious. She cried out in a panic, "What do you mean it won't matter if I die in there? Can't you take me seriously?!"

"Isn't this the truth?" Night Wind retorted.

"Of course that's not true! I'm also a high-ranking official in Xinluo City. I'm the Director of the Inspectorate, the same level as Luo Lin!" Zijing shouted.

Then Zijing shook her head and backed away, saying guiltily, "I've thought about it carefully and I feel that even if I go in with you, I won't be of any help. In that case, I'll just wait for you outside."

"It's too late to say that now!"

Night Wind said irritably, and raised his hand to grab.

Zijing was about to transform into a shadow and escape, but a tremendous force suddenly enveloped her body, interrupting her transformation into a shadow!

The next instant, Zijing flew in front of Yefeng and was grabbed by the shoulder.

"I don't want to go in! I regret it, okay? Let me go, I don't want to die..."

Zijing kicked and struggled wildly, but she couldn't break free from Yefeng's grasp.

Ye Feng had already grabbed Zi Jing, lifted her into the air, and strode into the crack, entering the defensive array!

Suddenly, a vast and powerful aura emanated from the divine sheep, sweeping around like a whirlwind.

The night wind swept over Zijing, and in an instant, Zijing's hair seemed to come alive and began to twist wildly. Moreover, cracks appeared on her head, face, neck, and arms, revealing eyes!

Upon seeing this, Luo Lin, Xu Ping'an, and the others were all shocked!

Ye Feng and Zi Jing had just entered the defensive array when Zi Jing was already affected by the spirit beast, the divine sheep, and terrifying and bizarre changes began to appear on her body!

How could this not fill them with both shock and fear!

Moreover, because a crack had opened in the defensive array, the aura of the spirit beast divine sheep leaked out from Li Feng and surged towards Luo Lin, Xu Ping'an, and Chen He like a tide.

Li Xuanming's expression turned solemn as he suddenly stepped in front of Luo Lin and the others, his arms and eight tentacles fully extended.

A protective shield of true energy suddenly formed, shielding Rowling and the others.

"Don't worry, I will protect you in place of the city lord," Li Xuanming said solemnly.

"Thank you very much." Rowling nodded her thanks quickly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Rowling looked at Night Wind and Bauhinia again.

More and more eyes appeared on Zijing's body, densely packed, with each eyeball rolling around inside.
