Tang Zhuying was naturally grateful that the person before her had come to help at Su Shi'er's request.
But the problem was that the other's cultivation level was right there for all to see. Peak Great Perfection of the Body Integration Realm was certainly not weak.
Yet he had not reached the Tribulation Crossing stage.
And the peril Xuanji Sect currently faced was the threat of Demon Lords at the Tribulation Crossing stage—more than one of them, at that.
Tang Zhuying did not continue by the end, but her meaning was self-evident.
"No matter. Since I have come, I naturally have a way to break this deadlock.
Sect Master Tang need not worry. Leave what follows to me!"
Su Shi'er smiled and waved his hand, turning his attention to Tantai Zhi.
"Sent by Su Shi'er? Then where is Su Shi'er... now?"
Before Su Shi'er could speak, Tantai Zhi's voice immediately followed.
This operation against Xuanji Sect had been intended to force Su Shi'er out.
Now, Su Shi'er had not appeared, yet the person before them claimed to have come at Su Shi'er's behest.
At the very least, this gave them a chance to find Su Shi'er.
"You Demon Lord, that is quite a good question. But do you think I would tell you?"
Su Shi'er gave a cold laugh, curled his lip, and countered Tantai Zhi's question.
"Whether you tell me or not is not important. Once I take down these people of Xuanji Sect, I refuse to believe Su Shi'er will not show himself.
And now, there is you, this little fellow, as well.
Su Shi'er clearly knows this place is dangerous, yet he does not come himself and instead sends you here to die. Is this... the friendship you humans speak of?"
Tantai Zhi smiled, paying little heed
