Yan Chihuo had never expected Elder Dong to wield such influence within Wondrous Fragrance Tower.
Lady Tianxiang continued, "Elder Dong is immensely powerful. Back then, he was caught in an ambush. Otherwise, even ten cultivators at the peak of late Tribulation Crossing would never have been able to harm him."
Yan Chihuo was even more startled. He thought to himself, Then Elder Dong must possess some extraordinary treasure. No matter how formidable he is, he could not fight ten opponents alone otherwise. Yet Lady Tianxiang has no intention of seizing his treasure. It seems Elder Dong is no fool either—no one even dares set their sights on him.
Lady Tianxiang said, "Fellow Daoist Yan may not believe it, but I witnessed it with my own eyes that day. Elder Dong held off ten cultivators from Three Saints Valley by himself, forcing Three Saints Valley to temporarily abandon its designs on swallowing us whole."
Then she slowly walked up to Yan Chihuo and said, "Fellow Daoist Yan, I must ask you to put in every effort. Elder Dong alone bears the safety of my Wondrous Fragrance Tower upon his shoulders. We are relying entirely on you, Fellow Daoist."
Yan Chihuo took a step back. "I will certainly do my utmost. But if we cannot find the Spirit Concealment Flower, there is nothing I can do."
Lady Tianxiang said, "So long as you do your best, if there is a Spirit Concealment Flower in the gorge, you will surely find it. If there is none, then all we can say is that Heaven has decreed the doom of Wondrous Fragrance Tower."
Yan Chihuo did not know how to respond and could only say, "I shall take my leave."
Lady Tianxiang gave a dazzling smile. "Safe travels, Fellow Daoist Yan."
