The city's defenses had to be solid to prevent anyone from sneaking in.
The grand formation of the spacetime gorge was not as complicated as Jian Wushuang and his companions had imagined.
Zhalong Mountain Lord wouldn't be unable to enter just because he didn't have a token.
When the grand formation was initially crafted, he had left a backdoor.
However, only he could enter through this backdoor.
Entering alone!
This posed a significant risk.
In the shadows, those who had wiped out the subordinates he had brought along with his son and seized the compass had clearly come prepared.
Moreover, the recent arrival of Star Field bandits added to the Lord of Zhalong Mountain's concerns.
He wasn't worried about powerful ambushers within the spacetime rift.
His fear was that the treasure he had meticulously hidden might have already been discovered.
This time, the intruders were here for the treasure he had found long ago.
