"This problem does need to be resolved urgently, but your injuries..."
Concern showed on Su Shi'er's face.
Master Jiekong had not shown it, but Su Shi'er had been right behind him during the clash and knew better than anyone how it had gone.
He knew Master Jiekong's injuries were far worse than they appeared.
If other cultivators targeted him on the journey, or Li Jiuyuan suddenly turned on him, the consequences would be unthinkable.
If something happened to him, Su Shi'er would have one fewer senior in this world he could trust.
The Immortal Cultivation Holy Land had plenty of Tribulation Crossing stage magnates, but Su Shi'er had no ties to them.
Perhaps they were each seeking their own way to deal with Demon God Xuantianjun.
But in their eyes, the ideas of mere Spirit Severing stage cultivators like Su Shi'er and East Sea Sword Saint Liu Hua would never be worth considering.
In truth, though, East Sea Sword Saint Liu Hua had long since surpassed countless Sword Cultivators on the path of Sword Dao.
And Su Shi'er himself possessed quite a few rare treasures.
Years ago, he had even planted a hidden move against Demon God Xuantianjun.
Before today, he had feared that once the demon cultivator's body was seized, his consciousness and soul would have dispersed into the world and been utterly extinguished.
But after coming face-to-face with Demon God Xuantianjun, he knew the demon cultivator had preserved a faint thread of awareness.
That thread was as fine as a speck of dust.
Even Demon God Xuantianjun likely had not noticed it.
Su Shi'er was different. Though the demon cultivator's body had been seized, that could not change the fact that they came from the same source.
A subtle connection remained between Su Shi'er and the demon cultivator.
