"Alas... I never thought that, in the end, the prophecy would still come true. Fellow Daoist Ren, go in peace. If I have the chance in the future, Su will surely seek justice for you."
"As for your wish, if Su can leave safely, I will certainly fulfill it for you."
With a soft sigh, Su Shi'er gritted his teeth, and a sharp, chilling glint flashed through his eyes.
Then, with faint sorrow on his face, he put away the box containing the jade token fragments once more.
Next, he continued pondering.
"Judging from the current situation, leaving through the route provided by Bi Yun Xuan is likely unrealistic."
"As for other methods... that Yellow-toothed Cultivator previously let slip by accident that the person behind him possessed a way to take people out."
"Whether this is true or false remains uncertain, but it is worth trying."
"Before that, though, I must stall for a while longer. First, to delay those people from Tiandao Palace. Second, to gather more Spirit Stones. Third, to thoroughly erase the remaining mark left by Bi Yun Xuan, lest it become the next Horizonless Tracing Seal of Tiandao Palace."
After a short while, Su Shi'er's emotions quickly steadied, and he closed his eyes once again.
Within the storage bracelet, the Heaven and Earth Furnace holding a hundred supreme-grade Spirit Stones gave off a green glow that brought Su Shi'er a measure of reassurance.
He knew that tempering the supreme-grade Spirit Stones would still require some time.
Su Shi'er no longer spared it any attention. At once, the three Nascent Souls in his dantian exerted their strength together, launching a full-force assault on the remaining mark of Bi Yun Xuan.
A year later.
Within the territory governed by Bi Yun Xuan in the Hundred Thousand Mines.
