"What level are you planning to reach for enlightenment?" Lin Chuan stroked Big Orange in his arms and turned to Ni Huanzhi.
Although this girl had some ties to Lin Chuan, he could not keep taking her along forever. The Floating Spirit Divine Palace would only grow more dangerous ahead. He might not even be able to protect himself, much less bring along such dead weight.
"I..." Ni Huanzhi bit her lip. She knew her own strength well. Without Azure Dragon by her side, the fourth level would very likely be her limit.
"Let's go to the fifth level!"
In the end, Ni Huanzhi spoke. She did not want to hold Lin Chuan back either.
"Alright. Then stay close to me on this level!" Lin Chuan nodded and said nothing more. At the very least, bringing Ni Huanzhi into the fifth level would be easy for him.
As the two spoke, beastly roars came from the darkness nearby. Clearly, Ghost Beasts had already detected their presence and were charging toward them.
"Go!" Lin Chuan had no intention of fighting. This place was too close to the passageway. Before long, large numbers of cultivators would descend, making it unsuitable for battle.
The two raced into the distant darkness, one after the other.
Fourth-rank Ghost Beasts were common here, and there were often times when they could not be avoided. Lin Chuan would use swift, thunderous methods to kill those monsters before fleeing far away with Ni Huanzhi. The fluctuations from battle would attract great numbers of Ghost Beasts. Even Lin Chuan would struggle against a siege by too many of them. Moreover, by this point, it was not only Ghost Beasts he had to face, but people as well! Sometimes, people were even more terrifying than monsters.
