Shi Hao and the others were in terrible shape.
After taking down four Weird Immortal Emperors with them, even if the remnants of their bodies and Primordial Spirits had escaped safely, there was no telling how long it would take, or how much effort it would cost, to restore them.
Every Weird Immortal Emperor they took down consumed the origins of their Great Daos. Those origins were irreplaceable, supporting everything they were.

Those three thoughts were murky and indistinct, without any perception or capacity to think.
That was little different from temporary death.
At least the Weird Immortal Emperors could not prevent their return, and recovering would be somewhat easier.

Jiang Nan offering to help of his own accord was another matter.
Zhong Yue summoned the Chat Panel and took a look. There was no word from Meng Qi and the others, so he did not seek
