True Person Dantai looked no different on the outside. Without divine sense or mana, Chen Lin could not detect anything else.
As soon as she emerged, he greeted her respectfully.
Although he held her life and death in his hands here, things would be different once they left. When facing a Golden Core cultivator, he still had to show the proper respect.
Dantai Yunjin smiled faintly. "I'm ready, but this place lies between illusion and reality. I'll have to wait until midnight, when the Moonlight Power is strongest, before I can recover a little mana and try to break open space with a treasure."
She paused, then continued, "When the time comes, I'll also need you to keep me safe, Fellow Daoist Chen. There's no need for empty words of gratitude. I'll certainly repay you generously in the future."
Chen Lin immediately nodded. "Rest assured, Senior. As long as I'm here, I certainly won't let you fall into danger. But there's one thing I need to confirm: how many people can leave after you break open space?"
He had to get a clear answer so he could plan his next move accordingly.
Dantai Yunjin considered for a moment. "The cultivators with you all played some part in rescuing me, so I'll do my utmost to open a larger breach. There should be no problem with everyone leaving together. However, there are quite a few yin spirits and yin beasts here. I'm afraid the first half of the night won't be peaceful."
Chen Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
If they could take everyone, that made things easy. Otherwise, he really would not know whom to take and whom to leave behind.
But "everyone" did not actually mean every last person.
There were fewer than a hundred people at the gathering
