"When the time comes, you go be the vanguard yourself. I'm not going."
"I have to stay behind and preserve the foundation and future of Voyaging Heart Hall. I'm going to become in-laws with Elder Linglong, and Elder Linglong won't let me go die with you."
As she said this, Imperial Venerable Menhang's peals of laughter rang ceaselessly through the entire Voyaging Heart Hall. It felt far too good.
As the vanguard, Jinghang would face Ten Thousand Demon Hall's direct assault. She would almost certainly die.
As for herself...
Elder Linglong was a super-powerhouse of the Spirit Race, equal in status to Ling Zhe and even senior to him by generation. Her own granddaughter, Xiao Moli, had been promised to Elder Linglong's final disciple.
Of course they would not send her to be the vanguard. Voyaging Heart Hall also needed an Imperial Venerable to remain behind and hold the fort.
Her eyes gleamed coldly...
Imperial Venerable Jinghang could not be bothered with her senior sister Menhang's endless sarcastic remarks. After the meeting, she sought out Su Yuexi alone.
Staring at Su Yuexi, she said, "Yuexi, you've truly gotten me into a terrible mess. But I can't blame you either... back then, you were only trying to save your own life. If anyone is to blame, it can only be the Spirit Race for being too overbearing."
Just because Su Yuexi had preserved the lives of all the trial-takers and stopped Zhe Ying from slaughtering them all, she had been forced into becoming the vanguard.
"If I die at Ten Thousand Demon Hall, leave. Otherwise, Menhang won't let you off."
Imperial Venerable Jinghang no longer had the heart to blame Su Yuexi for anything involving Sikong Jing. She could only sigh again and again.
Looking at Imperial Venerable Jinghang's bitter expression...
