Li Changsheng could only brace himself.
"Let's leave this place first. With so many demonic beasts guarding it, there shouldn't be any danger to our lives."
"Mm."
Fairy Qingyue nodded lightly, then followed Li Changsheng as they continued fleeing into the distance.
As soon as Li Changsheng and Fairy Qingyue fled, the hundreds of demonic beasts gave chase.
They were incredibly fast and reached the pair's rear in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the dense horde of demonic beasts behind them, Fairy Qingyue's pretty face changed slightly.
"No, there are too many of them. There's no way we can escape. Besides, if we run, these demonic beasts will certainly follow us. Won't we just become turtles trapped in a jar?"
Fairy Qingyue frowned, looking extremely anxious.
Li Changsheng's brows were also tightly furrowed, his emotions complicated.
"You should return to the cave first. I'll handle this."
After pondering for a moment, Li Changsheng looked up and spoke to Fairy Qingyue.
"No. You are the hope of our sect. If anything happens to you, the Sect Master and Headmaster will certainly blame me. I absolutely cannot leave you behind."
Fairy Qingyue shook her head, firmly objecting.
Looking at Fairy Qingyue's resolute expression, Li Changsheng sighed.
He knew that if he insisted on leaving, he would definitely put Fairy Qingyue in a difficult position.
Since that was the case, he might as well listen to Fairy Qingyue for now and wait until they found a solution.
"Since you refuse to leave, I'll protect you. I'll deal with these demonic beasts."
Li Changsheng looked at Fairy Qingyue as he spoke.
"That won't do either. There are simply too many of them. Their numbers won't threaten me, but if they hurt you, that would be bad."
Fairy Qingyue shook her head in refusal.
