Since he had decided to meet the challenge, there had to be some proper procedure. Qu Jianlei planned to send the other side a letter of challenge.
True Venerable Youjian could spread word in advance, so naturally, he would go openly and aboveboard as well.
"Not appropriate," True Venerable Han Li objected. "Are you betting on victory and defeat, or fighting to the death? Either way, it isn't suitable."
If they set it as a Life and Death Battle from the outset, the malice would be too heavy. Even if they won, everyone in Lingyun would probably be seething with resentment.
It had nothing to do with courage. Purely for the sake of an aged True Venerable on his last legs... it was not worth it!
"Mm," True Venerable Qingning also nodded. "If you bet on victory and defeat, then if a chance to kill him comes up, it won't be easy to strike ruthlessly."
He truly did not treat them as outsiders. He could even say such petty calculations out loud without the slightest concealment.
Han Li looked at him and could not help rolling his eyes. "In that case, may I trouble you, fellow Daoist, to make the trip and pass on a message?"
Since the other party had said he would act at the critical moment to protect True Venerable Qu, they might as well use this chance to pin down his camp.
Qingning was startled for a moment and was just about to agree when a figure suddenly appeared beside them. It was none other than Jin Ge.
"Best not let him go. Otherwise the scent of being from beyond the realm will be too strong, and people will easily make an issue of it. I should go instead."
Qu Jianlei nodded when he heard that.
