Tang Shengzong understood that Shen Qian was implying something, but he didn't respond to Shen Qian's words at all, and just insisted on his point.
Ling Xiao patted Shen Qian on the shoulder, silencing him, and stepped forward to clap his hands.
"What a clever tactic of advancing while retreating! But the more you do this, the more curious I become about what you're trying to hide."
Ling Xiao stared at the other person and asked.
"If I remember correctly, monitoring restricted areas and handling special situations should be the responsibility of the Martial Arts Department's Sky Patrol Division, so why are people from your Martial Arts Department here?"
When Ling Xiao suddenly questioned him, Tang Shengzong's expression became unnatural for a moment, but he quickly calmed down.
“We were just passing by when we noticed something was wrong and came over. We also have a responsibility to guard the gate, so we can’t just stand by and do nothing.”
"Yeah?"
Shi Dingyan, who had been silent all along, suddenly smiled. "You were just passing by, yet you went out of your way to set up the 'Four Symbols Trapping Dragon Formation.' You really have a lot of free time!"
After saying that, Shi Dingyan casually waved his hand.
Suddenly, the surrounding sky trembled, and then four palm-sized black flags appeared from nothingness, engraved with mysterious runes.
As the array flags appeared, faint, illusory rays of light appeared high in the sky, crisscrossing and filling a space of several thousand square meters.
Chen Qian felt slightly lost.
Formations... such an obscure subject is clearly beyond the scope of high school students.
"Only experts at the Mountain and Sea level can set up this kind of formation. Its main purpose is to trap and conceal enemies, and it can also be used to shield against detection."
Shi Dingyan thoughtfully explained the situation to Shen Qian via telepathy.
"Tsk tsk, Third Senior Brother, even if you were to set up this formation, it would take at least ten minutes, right? Or are these people all formation masters who can set up a formation instantly?"
Ling Xiao laughed heartily, then his expression suddenly turned cold.
"The teacher is right. People in your Martial Arts Department have really been brainwashed since thirty years ago. They don't do anything proper all day long and just think about crooked ways!"
"I don't care what you want to get from this 'door' or this White Walker, but not in the Southwest, and not under the teacher's nose!"
Hearing Ling Xiao's cold shout, Shen Qian clenched his fists.
He didn't care about the schemes or tricks these martial artists might have; all he cared about was Ling Xiao's words: even if his third senior brother were to set up the formation, it would take at least ten minutes, which meant...
The four of them had indeed arrived long ago.
But for their so-called purpose, they coldly hid in the shadows, watching the soldiers of the Changyou Camp be slaughtered, and watching Song Ben and many more innocent people die.
How can they be so cold-blooded!
He was filled with grief and anger before he fell.
A tragedy that could have been avoided, why!
At this moment, Shen Qian's impression of the Martial Arts Department instantly turned extremely negative.
“Sword Master Ling has misunderstood. These array flags have nothing to do with us.”
Tang Shengzong remained unfazed by Ling Xiao's accusations, but he refused to admit anything.
"Since it has nothing to do with you, then get lost!" Ling Xiao sneered.
"...This White Walker was ultimately suppressed by our Martial Arts Department first, and we must take it away."
Tang Shengzong's expression shifted, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes, but he still pointed to the monster stuck in the "door" and made his demands.
"You can't take it with you." Shi Dingyan concluded calmly.
"Hehe, if that's the case, then could you please ask Minister Shi and Sword Master Ling not to obstruct our arrest of the criminals!"
Tang Shengzong turned his gaze to Shen Qian again, and the implied meaning in his words was quite obvious.
"Are you threatening me?" Ling Xiao laughed, and the wooden sword that had been hovering in mid-air trembled slightly.
Tang Shengzong's face turned pale, but his attitude remained unusually firm.
"I don't understand what Ling Jianshi is saying. Investigating illegal activities by martial artists is the main responsibility of my Martial Law Department. This is a regulation set by the Nine Kings Conference back then. Does Ling Jianshi also intend to break the law?"
