"This... I truly never imagined that more than one Nascent Soul Stage titan had set their sights on you during this ordeal, Senior Brother Su."
"And even under those circumstances, you escaped unscathed. Though the East Sea Sword Saint's help played a part, it also speaks to your formidable strength... and your tremendous luck!"
Li Piaoyue continued, her voice filled with emotion.
Even setting everything else aside, the danger of being targeted by two Nascent Soul Cultivators was easy to imagine.
Under those circumstances, lasting until the East Sea Sword Saint arrived to help was itself... proof of Su Shi'er's strength.
Yet mentioning the East Sea Sword Saint inevitably reminded Li Piaoyue of Xu Yang, their fellow disciple whom he had slain that day.
Her heart sank. She hurriedly turned toward Leng Yan beside her. "Senior Leng, the East Sea Sword Saint is the man I mentioned earlier, the one who killed Martial Brother Xu Yang that day."
"Now he has saved Senior Brother Su as well. With gratitude and grudges so entangled, I truly cannot decide what to do."
Leng Yan stood proudly at the flying boat's bow. From the moment Su Shi'er appeared, the worry in her eyes had vanished, and she had regained her unruffled composure.
Hearing Li Piaoyue's words, she pondered briefly before replying, "The East Sea Sword Saint endured seven Heavenly Tribulations to condense his Nascent Soul. His strength cannot be underestimated. We will set Xu Yang's matter aside for now."
"Once the crisis involving the Demon Shadow Palace and the Great Zhao Dynasty is resolved, I will go to Sword Island myself and demand an explanation from him. Whether we fight or make peace, we must have a confrontation first."
"But for now, the Phantom Star Sect's affairs must take priority."
