"When the time came, I would personally keep that Late-Stage Spirit Transformation Cultivator from the Blood Demon Sect occupied. I would leave the Blood Demon Beast to you, Fellow Daoist Lin."

"All right. But I have no foolproof plan for this. I can only promise to do my best."

In the great hall, Lin Chang'an and True Lord Qingxu discussed the matter and decided to join forces.

True Lord Qingxu understood this perfectly and nodded gravely.

"Naturally. If anything unexpected happens, the two of us should still be able to withdraw without trouble."

Lin Chang'an did not mention that he intended to invite other helpers, and True Lord Qingxu did not ask.

Yet half a month after True Lord Qingxu left, True Lord Yunyi of Ice God Palace came to his door.

The moment True Lord Yunyi set down his teacup, his first words made Lin Chang'an's expression tighten. Then something seemed to occur to Lin Chang'an, and his brow slowly eased.
