The light of the Taiyin Star spilled in through the window, and the temperature was somewhat low. I calmly watched her long eyelashes, while her light sipping of tea left the room so quiet that only the sound of our breathing remained.
After a long while, Xue Qingcheng set down her teacup, then picked up another chess piece and placed it in precisely the right position. This kind of silence carried an unforgettable charm. Without a doubt, besides her lofty bearing, she also possessed the serenity befitting a woman.
"Is there any middle ground? Could you control the Innate Primordial Qi Formation for now, and wait until I return so I can go down there with you? The formation has been sealed for several thousand years. There's no need to rush this." I made a suggestion.
"The passage hasn't opened yet, so perhaps we can wait. But once it opens, that will mark the beginning of a war. While we stand still, others have already begun scheming over this matter. If you're counting on no one discovering it, that's impossible." Xue Qingcheng had always been decisive.
"Mm." I fell silent. She was right. Tiandao One had seized control of this entire region, so how could Blackie possibly not know what we were doing? Even so, he hadn't reached his hand over here. That meant he had already begun gathering strength. No one knew what plans he had next. Only by finishing our own plans as quickly as possible could we withstand whatever was about to happen.
For example, once Qingcheng herself obtained the Innate Primordial Qi, the moment she reclaimed it, the power of the God-Smiting Whip would certainly rise another level. By then, the possibility of overpowering ten with a single force would not be out of the question.
