"Liu Wenjian is still alive?"
Lu Li ignored the questioning looks from Lin Tianxia and Ignis, continuing his communication with the Soul General within the Soul Realm.
"He is alive, that's true, but he's in terrible condition..." Chen Hao's tone was filled with worry. "There are traces of Demon Qi Erosion on his body. His mind is in chaos... he doesn't recognize me at all..."
"Keep him under control. I'll be there immediately." Lu Li's heart tightened as he hurriedly gave the order.
He then looked up at Lin Tianxia and Ignis and spoke rapidly.
"Liu Wenjian has been found. I need to head over."
"Ignis, if you need anything for forging, just ask Old Master Lin."
"Old Master, Ignis is in your care."
Both men froze.
Then delight appeared in Lin Tianxia's eyes, and he answered repeatedly, "Rest assured, Mr. Lu. This little matter is no problem for this old man."
"Alright, I'll leave it to you." Lu Li nodded slightly. The next second, black mist enveloped him, and he vanished from where he stood.
"H-He just left like that?" Ignis blinked before finally speaking.
For a moment, he did not know whether he should be amazed by the young man's miraculous means of departure, or marvel at how readily Lu Li had simply left him here.
Although they had already settled on the direction of their cooperation, although they had signed an Oath Contract long ago, although Ignis himself was upright by nature and had never harbored any intention of harming others, still!
Wasn't Lu Li trusting him a little too much by leaving his guard down like this and completely handing over the authority to allocate resources?
What if his forging skills were lacking, and he repeatedly failed during the forging process, wasting massive amounts of resources
