Xu Yi suddenly remembered the valley Ling Ao Shangren had mentioned. It seemed that, too, had been woven by the Demon Vines.
"By the way, Junior Brother Wang, do you know when the reinforcements will arrive? Once you have a firm answer, I can report back to them. Morale has been unsteady lately. Thankfully, the Sect Leader sent word that you already had a surefire plan, which barely managed to steady everyone."
Elder Xi had been holding those words in for a long time. If Xu Yi hadn't brought it up, he really couldn't have held back from asking.
"Reinforcements? Oh, yes, there are reinforcements. We'll have a definite answer by tomorrow at the latest. Senior Brother Xi, you don't need to accompany me. I've only just arrived in the Golden Purple Domain, so I'll take a look around on my own."
With that, Xu Yi sprang into the air and left.
"Junior Brother Wang, be careful. The Golden Purple Domain is no place like anywhere else. It's perilous—"
Elder Xi's voice had barely rung out before Xu Yi vanished from sight.
Xu Yi headed west. Though the Golden Purple Domain was vast, the known areas had been mapped out, and the major factions shared those maps. Even so, they covered a huge stretch of land.
He was heading west because he wanted to inspect Passage Number One, which the Holy Clan had occupied. He had promised Elder Xi, after all, and he had to keep his word.
Besides, he couldn't leave Sect Leader Zhu with any regrets.
Whatever his motives, Sect Leader Zhu had treated him exceptionally well.
Most of all, Xu Yi remembered how Sect Leader Zhu had entrusted Yan Zi with a precious Core Corpse. That kindness weighed more heavily on his heart than anything else.
