"Do you mean that you and I should quietly leave the Divine Blood Sect before Xugeng ascends?" Ying Wu asked.
"There is no rush. At the soonest, Xugeng's ascension is still several years away; at the longest, several decades or even a century. We still have time to make plans at leisure," Song Wen said.
"What you say is not without reason, but being watched by a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator always leaves me uneasy." Ying Wu's willow brows knitted tightly. "How about... I ask Xugeng to act and eliminate Ming Yuan first? Do you think Xugeng would agree?"
