"There was no such thing. Li Mou had just come from the lower realm. I truly didn't expect to appear here." Li Zhōujūn explained.
"Nothing but lies!" The Purple Skirt Woman let out a shrill cry upon hearing this. With a sweep of her wide sleeve, the water in the pool churned violently, and columns of water shot into the sky, winding toward Li Zhōujūn.
Li Zhōujūn was somewhat helpless at the sight. When had he ever lied?
But in such a situation, Li Zhōujūn knew that the more he explained, the darker things would become. Facing the columns of water winding toward him from below, he had no choice but to make his cultivation level equal to that of the Purple Skirt Woman.
Li Zhōujūn stomped on the void, stopping the columns of water that had shot into the sky from advancing even an inch. Then he said apologetically to the Purple Skirt Woman, "If you ever need Li Mou's help in the future, Li Mou will not refuse as long as I can lend a hand. Consider it my apology."
The pool was inside a sealed great hall.
As soon as his voice fell, Li Zhōujūn transformed into a streak of light and flew toward the lofty roof above the pool. His body seemed to turn into nothingness. Without damaging the roof in the slightest, he passed straight through it and fled into the distant void.
The Purple Skirt Woman had been somewhat surprised by Li Zhōujūn's strength when he stopped the water columns with a single stomp, but upon seeing him trying to escape, she prepared to pursue him.
Yet a woman's voice came from outside the great hall: "Sect Master, the Sect Protecting Grand Array stopped operating because the Supreme Elder was cultivating an array formation!"
