Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao (24)

"I'll go with you."

"Tianya can suppress its sword aura, and I practice the Ice Heart Art as well. I can seal my presence."

"One more person means one more safeguard."

Su Han looked at her.

He saw the unyielding resolve in her eyes.

He knew he could not dissuade her.

Elder Mu sighed.

"Since that is the case, this old man will also..."

"Elder!"

Su Han cut him off.

"Someone needs to remain here to provide support and control the Star Guiding Bead. At a critical moment, you may be able to draw down star power, disrupt the beast horde, and win us a chance at survival."

"You'll be of greater use outside."

Elder Mu looked at the resolute gazes of the two young people.

He knew this was the best choice.

He nodded heavily.

"Good!"

"This old man will use the Star Guiding Bead as the foundation and set up the Lesser Heavenly Star Guiding Formation."

"It can conceal your presence to some extent and create chaos if necessary."

"But this formation takes time to set up and cannot be moved."

"Once you ascend the altar, or if a fierce battle breaks out..."

"This old man will activate the formation. Whether you succeed or fail, you must retreat within the time it takes an incense stick to burn!"

"Otherwise, once the Star Power Tide erupts, even the formation will not last long!"

The agreement was made.

There was no more hesitation.

Su Han and Lu Xueqi exchanged a glance.

They nodded to each other.

They brought themselves to peak condition.

Su Han pushed the Starlight Gauze Robe's effect to its limit.

He gripped the Star Fixing Token in his left hand.

His right hand hovered over his sword hilt.

Lu Xueqi sheathed Tianya.

She drew in her aura.
