The two of them did not abandon Zhang Beitian. Instead, they fled with him.
It was not because they were loyal and righteous, nor because they had been moved by what Zhang Beitian had done. The most important reason was that they wanted Zhang Beitian to lead them out, to the Three Realms.
Without Zhang Beitian's help, it would have been difficult for them to leave the Three Realms. Even if they escaped Taishang Laojun, no one would help the two of them.
So they had no choice but to bring Zhang Beitian with them.
The group traveled on, already nearing the border between the Three Realms and the Outer Realm.
But just as they were about to arrive, Uchiha Shin blocked their way.
Seeing Uchiha Shin appear before them, all of them were filled with shock and despair.
They had been so close to leaving this place and reaching safety, yet they had encountered Uchiha Shin here.
"What a coincidence, everyone." Uchiha Shin smiled faintly at them.
The three of them stared at Uchiha Shin without speaking. Zhang Beitian had awakened by then, and the Adamantine Staff was still with him.
However, he could no longer control the Adamantine Staff.
Fengmo Ku took the Adamantine Staff and fixed his gaze on Uchiha Shin. "Uchiha Shin, I know we may not be your match if we fight you, but we can still use the Adamantine Staff. Daoist Zhang cannot use it, but the two of us can take turns. Do you really intend to fight us to the death?"
Uchiha Shin looked at them, a faint smile curling at the corner of his lips. "I came here with no other purpose than to obtain the Adamantine Staff. As for whether you people live or die, I do not care much.
