Only Ye Tianling remained standing where he was, making no move for a long while.
"Sect Master Lin, this sect master's Flying Sword is still inside the formation!"
His gaze passed over Su Shi'er and turned toward the direction where the Flying Sword had vanished. Ye Tianling immediately spoke again.
"Sect Master Ye, no matter how precious the Flying Sword is, can it be more important than your life?
"The great formation has already been broken, and this chance to leave is hard to come by.
"If those people charge over, we won't have another opportunity."
Before Su Shi'er could speak, Ge Hongying's urging voice rang out.
"Sect Master Ye, rest assured. Since I have given my word, I will never break it.
"The Flying Sword has merely been lost for the moment. Let us leave this place first; preserving our lives is what matters.
"Once I break through to the Tribulation Crossing stage and take my cultivation and strength a step further, I will certainly help you reclaim the Flying Sword at once."
Spatial power continued to ripple around Su Shi'er.
Once he finished speaking, he did not wait for Ye Tianling's answer. He turned and followed Yun Yan as they rushed toward the pillar of light.
Yet at the instant he turned around,
his body visibly swayed with force, as though an afterimage had appeared and vanished.
"You..."
Ye Tianling's attention returned to Su Shi'er, anger surfacing on his face.
"Sect Master Ye, you saw clearly enough how I broke the formation.
"That Half-Immortal Artifact Flying Sword truly played a crucial role.
"Since I have made a promise, I will never go back on my word in the future.
"Or is Sect Master Ye determined to risk his life again for the sake of that one Flying Sword?"
