My expression shifted slightly. What had made Shaoshi Hui suddenly panic like that? Was she warning me to leave? But when I saw her head straight toward Heavenly City without hesitation, even glancing at the gathering of Purple Robe and the others, I knew those words hadn't been meant for me. She must have been speaking to Purple Robe and his companions.
Purple Robe seemed just as baffled. He stood there for a moment, glanced at the Devil Lord and Divine Nun Kongshan, and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"
The Devil Lord furrowed his brows slightly and shook his head. "Taishi Immortal, how would we know what's going on? Could it be that she still hasn't been cured of her madness?"
Purple Robe laughed. Divine Nun Kongshan then said, "Perhaps she's reminding us to leave this place at once. Otherwise, something might happen."
"Heh... What could happen? Since Miss Shaoshi has left, let's handle things ourselves. This is the perfect chance to capture him. I've been waiting for this for a long time, and chances vanish in the blink of an eye. You two had better seize it." As Purple Robe spoke, he looked in my direction. "Xia Yitian, I originally wanted to invite you to Heavenly City alone so we could have a good chat. Who would have thought you'd reject me time and again, even bringing so many people to launch a sneak attack on Heavenly City? I have no choice now but to personally take you back."
"Gathering everyone here to surround and attack me? Be careful that I break through your other defensive lines. By then, all your efforts will be like scooping water with a bamboo basket." I looked into the darkness beneath Purple Robe, where it seemed there was nothing at all.
