Yunxi's answer clearly caught Luo Er and Luo Liu off guard. The two exchanged a glance, then both looked at Yunxi, wanting to make sure she was not joking.
Yunxi said calmly,
"Shadow Clones can indeed suppress their cultivation and enter the Secret Realm, but if the Wind Family has plotted something, they will surely isolate the entire Secret Realm, preventing the leading elders of the Luo and Wind Families from coming to the rescue in time. If it drags on, my Shadow Clone will also be affected, and I cannot guarantee that I will bring the Luo Family disciples safely out of the Secret Realm.
"Since that is the case, it would be better for me to enter personally. My Shadow Clone can remain outside to mislead the Wind Family. With the two of you providing cover, it should not draw their attention. Besides, in the Wind Family's eyes, a guest elder like me is merely there to make up the numbers. They will focus more of their attention on the two of you. What do you think?"
Second Elder Luo stopped turning the black jade walnuts in his hand. Leaning forward slightly, he said,
"Ranxi, if you enter the Secret Realm yourself, the Luo Family disciples' safety will be more assured. But that would also mean taking a greater risk. Suppressing your cultivation would be very disadvantageous to you."
Luo Liu nodded with a solemn expression. Clearly, he agreed with Luo Er. For an Immortal Practitioner to fall in such a small Secret Realm—anyone would feel it was a terrible loss.
Yunxi said indifferently,
"Since I have decided to do this, I am confident I can retreat unscathed. I am only afraid that I will need to borrow that immortal treasure for suppressing cultivation for the time being.
