Everyone fell silent at Yan Yan’s words.
She was right. Formation masters were so rare that one wouldn’t just pop up on short notice.
General Wu looked distressed. “We do have our own formation masters stationed here in Wanping Town. After all, this protective formation requires its spiritual crystals to be replenished as well as routine maintenance. The guild of formation masters sent some spiritual masters over to help us with that.”
“Stop nagging, then!” Yan Yan glowered at General Wu.
Just then, footsteps hurriedly approached them and someone called out, “General, we’re in trouble! The essence-gathering tower is going to collapse! Master Lin said he can’t hold it up for much longer! We only have a minute left!”
One last minute...

Trepidation and bewilderment overwhelmed everyone.
Were they going to die just like that?
What would it be like to be dead? They would be buried under the dirt and worms would crawl all over their rotting corpses. They would never see the blue sky, breathe the fresh air, eat nice food, or see their loved ones ever again... That thought almost drove Yan Yan insane!
The look on Feng Wu’s face turned grave.
The essence-gathering tower was located by the gate and she had glanced at it in passing on her way in. She never expected that it would be destroyed so soon.
If she had a choice, Feng Wu didn’t want to expose herself as a formation master.
Back when her master was still around, he had told her that she could keep this ability a secret and use it as her trump card, for once the formation skill was used in actual combat, one’s capability would be amplified significantly, to the point of giving an opponent a critical hit or even delivering a coup de grace!
However, the magical beasts were breaking in even as they were speaking.
She might be able to survive the attack, but her beautiful mother, Qiuling, Granny Zhao, Uncle Qiu... and everyone else in Wanping Town would probably be killed by the magical beasts.
Without uttering another word, Feng Wu dashed toward the essence-gathering tower!
Yan Yan reacted first and yelled at Feng Wu as the latter ran off. “What do you know about formation? Why are you running so fast? Do you want to be the first to die or what?!”
That being said, everyone still ran toward the gate as they followed Feng Wu!
The essence-gathering tower was a shiny, eye-catching structure on the city wall.
However, the resplendent tower was barely giving off any light at the moment and had been badly damaged.
Its existence was the only reason that everyone inside Wanping Town was still alive.

Feng Wu stopped that train of thought. Standing at the foot of the tower, she quickly examined it with her eyes. One look and Feng Wu realized what had gone wrong!
Right now, Master Lin was pushing spiritual crystals into the recesses of the essence-gathering tower continuously with trembling hands. Overwhelmed by anxiety, sweat covered his forehead. “Why isn’t it working? Why?”
Picking up a spiritual crystal, Feng Wu rubbed it against one of the cracks in the tower!
Master Lin looked up and saw that a teenage girl was meddling with the essence-gathering tower, which immediately drove him mad. He bellowed, “What are you doing?! Stop messing around! Get lost!”
Because the essence-gathering formation was on the verge of breaking down, Master Lin was overwhelmed by a mix of nervousness, anxiety, guilt, and consternation... He vented all of it on Feng Wu when he noticed her!
Just then, Yan Yan and the others arrived.
Everyone was shocked when they saw what Feng Wu was doing to the essence-gathering tower. Furious shouts ensued.
“Are you nuts?! Stop!”
