Seeing Yi Feng return the salute, the old women were overwhelmed with trepidation.
"Brother Yi, you are too courteous..."
Even after exchanging courtesies, they could hardly calm their excitement. They had never dared imagine that one day they would address a great expert like Senior Yi as a brother. Such an honor was rare even across several lifetimes.
It was not until Yi Feng invited them to sit that they gradually steadied their hearts.
The former seat of honor was now occupied by Yi Feng. It was what everyone expected, and only natural. Tree Venerable and Guo Jiannan sat to his left and right, their eyes full of reverence and excitement.
Several cups of tea went down their throats, yet they still could not quell the excitement in their hearts.
Seeing the old men fidgeting like green youths, Yi Feng could neither laugh nor cry. He could only change the subject to ease the atmosphere.
"Everyone."
"Now that you have these devil corpses, you should be able to restore your cultivation in the future. When can we leave this place?"
Making a group of younger brothers had certainly been gratifying, but he still had to continue striving toward his grand plan of seeking death. Demon Suppressing Prison no longer posed any threat, so there was naturally no need to remain here.
As soon as he said this, everyone's expressions turned solemn.
After pondering for a few breaths, Guo Jiannan was the first to clasp his fists and speak.
"Brother Yi."
"We have been trapped in Demon Suppressing Prison for far too long. Our qi and blood have deteriorated severely, and I fear we cannot recover to our peak state. We are truly ashamed. As for breaking open Demon Suppressing Prison, we must trouble Brother Yi to act personally."
