"Wait, I'm going with you!" Li hurried after him.
"No, you stay here!" Venerable Shengtian said anxiously, but her attempt to stop her had no effect whatsoever. The Fox Demon darted out of the carriage without even looking back.
Before long, the people from Jinxia filed out one after another, as though they had long since made a habit of it.
It was not only Li and demons like Shanhui—Princess Guangping and Luo Qingqing turned and followed as well!
The sight left Li Mengyun standing there in a daze.
"Don't worry too much. That guy knows his limits," Qian suddenly said. "He has taken plenty of risks, but he has never acted rashly. Besides, heaven knows how much he's heard. Many dangers that would be difficult for us to handle can be resolved with ease in his hands. Just let them go."
"You're not going?" the Venerable turned to look at the Feathered Garment Envoy.
"Someone has to guard our retreat, right?" He shrugged. "I might not be good at taking on new things, but I'm a professional when it comes to holding down the rear."
Was this really something Qian Shifang, who had always charged at the very front, would say...
"I know what you're worried about." Yan Qing nodded as well. "We'll keep watch here. If you want to go, then go."
What she was concerned about was Li.
Li Mengyun swept her gaze over her two former old partners, then gave the Salvation Sect members an order. "The rest of you will remain here until I return!"
With that, she flashed out of the carriage and chased after Li.
"This place... is very strange," Luo Qingqing said softly.
"Oh? Can you see something?" Xia Fan asked. The situation outside the carriage was just as he had expected.
