Yan Hui pushed the door to enter the room. The door creaked as it swung open. Tian Yao was inside drinking tea. He was slightly started by the sound. He turned to look at Yan Hui and immediate frowned.

"You're covered in dirt. What did you do?"

"I dug a grave." Yan Hui walked into the room. She sat across from Tian Yao with a solemn expression. "When are you going to launch the surprise attack on the Sky-Splitting Seal?"

Tian Yao set down his teacup and evenly replied: "The moon will be full in ten days. My dragon tendons will fall under my influence and cause the lava under San Chong Mountain to roil. At that time, we can draw out the xian sects' guards. We'll enter the spell array at midnight and retrieve my tendons within two hours. After that, we'll destroy the spell and leave long before dawn breaks."

"You know where the dragon tendons are?"

"When I went to San Chong Mountain to bring back you and Pu Fang, I also discerned where they are. It was about 500 meters east of where you were but also hidden deep. It might be underground."

Yan Hui lightly frowned: "Under San Chong Mountain is all lava. Are you saying that your dragon tendons might've been sealed in lava?"

Tian Yao placidly took a sip of tea: "It's nothing out of the ordinary." Speaking of this, he seemed much more natural than earlier. "Lava is extremely hot and also fiery. Sealing my dragon tendons there would be so convenient."

"I'll help you get them." Yan Hui said it firmly with no trace of hesitation.

"Alright." Tian Yao had already planned for her to come along with him, so he wasn't surprised. What made him curious was, "Why did you suddenly make that decisions?"

He thought with Yan Hui's personality, she would've delayed until the day of. Then she would just silent follow behind him and accompany him into aciton.

Yan Hui paused for a moment. She then spoke with a slightly chilly voice: "Xi Feng cut his meridians in front of Pu Fang's grave."

Tian Yao was also silent. "Suicide?" It seemed like he also couldn't believe it. "That cultivator?"

Yan Hui nodded: "Yes, that xian cultivator."

Tian Yao fell silent again.

"I'm willing to enter the Sky-Splitting Seal with you. I'll even help you break it, give you my heart's blood, and also help you retrieve your dragon tendons. But........" Tian Yao saw a rare sight, murder flash across Yan Hui's eyes. "You have to help me capture Ling Fei."
