They did not rush to kill Ginkaku. They locked him up first; if money became endangered later, they could use Ginkaku to threaten them.
But if it really came to that, it might not work. Between Ginkaku's life and Xuanzang's death, Taishang Laojun would certainly choose Xuanzang's death.
Ginkaku was his good disciple, but what did that matter when it came to his own interests?
Uchiha Shin understood all this, yet he still did not kill Ginkaku for the time being. What if there was still hope?
After Kinkaku and the Lion Demon left the royal palace, they sped toward the outskirts of the capital.
Uchiha Shin and the others were still down in the well. They had to seize this chance to escape the capital; only then would they have a chance of surviving.
When they reached the edge of the capital, they were naturally intercepted. The two unleashed all their power and charged outward.
They were already very powerful, so ordinary cultivators were naturally no match for them. In addition, Taishang Laojun and the others secretly lent them some help nearby, allowing the two to escape with ease.
"Where are we going now?" Kinkaku asked.
"Of course, we're going to find your master. Are the two of us supposed to wait for Uchiha Shin to come deal with me?" the Lion Demon said.
They had nowhere else to go now. They could only seek Taishang Laojun's help.
As long as Laojun was willing to help, the Lion Demon would have a chance to live.
Kinkaku did not need to worry too much. Taishang Laojun would certainly help him. The Lion Demon, however, was more concerned about his own safety. He had no real ties with Taishang Laojun and had only interacted with him a little here in Crow
