In the distance, Li Qi counted on his fingers.
Hmm. His sixth sense kept telling him something was off, yet he could not deduce anything himself. That meant the matter might involve something on a higher level.
Perfectly normal. The universe was in troubled times now, with so many things happening. It was only natural for him to feel that something was wrong.
But there was a problem.
Now that he was already third rank, he could no longer wait for trouble to come knocking. If he wanted to create a safe environment for himself, he had to take the initiative.
Besides, he did not have much time left. Several hundred thousand years had passed since he advanced to third rank, and his cultivation had more or less stabilized. He would probably be joining the war soon.
There should be no problem on his disciples' side... With Yao Ji there, they could call him over if anything happened.
Shen Shuibi and Yang Ning, the two sisters, had left. They were probably sharing some private confidences between women, and it was not convenient for him to eavesdrop.
