At the same time, the bearer of the Heavenly Mandate, Xuan Yuan Changlong, was patrolling the territory of Tianqing City—one of the three targeted cities. In truth, Xuan Yuan Changlong was none other than the other Faceless One. Through a mysterious artifact, he had discovered the sacrificial formation left behind by the heretical cult.
Within that sacrificial formation, however, was another formation hidden inside—a formation within a formation, laid down by Li Qing. Concealed meticulously by the power of a Grade Nine monster, it was so well-hidden that none but a true anomaly—such as Xuan Yuan Changlong or the Eight Immortals—could possibly uncover it.
Xuan Yuan Changlong acted with extreme caution. From the moment he entered the formation's perimeter, he cast powerful concealment spells, rendering himself completely undetectable—even by the spectral clones stationed there to monitor intrusions.
