While Xiao Mo was in seclusion, He Yeye had specially set up an Array around his courtyard, blocking all sound and probing from outside Divine Senses.
No one could enter and disturb Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo, for his part, was completely immersed in a transcendent state of focus.
He wasn't merely writing a book; he was consolidating and affirming the Great Dao he pursued.
If he succeeded in this one effort, he would be able to truly forge a path of the Confucian Dao that was his own.
But if he failed, the road ahead would be fraught with hardship.
What Xiao Mo didn't know was that Demon Suppression City was quietly evacuating its children and ordinary people.
These children and ordinary people were to be settled by the Confucian Academy in the rear, far from the battlefield.
As for the other Cultivators, not a single one was permitted to leave.
They had only two choices.
Either die fighting in Demon Suppression City.
Or die in sacrifice at the foot of the Great Wall of China.
