Although the guards were worried sick, they could only do as they were told.
But even after they were a good distance away, they couldn't help but worry about the seal.
Everyone could see that the disturbance from the seal this time was far more severe than any before.
In the passageway, the light from the Array grew increasingly blinding.
Song Wanning pushed herself into a sitting position. Baili Shang and Xuan Yan rushed to her side, forming a tight guard around the small group.
They watched, eyes wide, as the Array devoured the seal within it, bit by bit.
In that moment, everyone's hearts leaped into their throats.
'It all comes down to this!'
Countless eyes stared into the depths of the passageway. If the Array at the other end lit up, transferring the seal, they would succeed!
'One… two… three…'
Song Wanning counted silently in her head, watching as the Array's light faded, bit by bit.
BOOM—
Deep within the passageway, the second Array suddenly flared to life.
