Twists and Turns (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Fight or retreat?" Han Jingshan turned and asked.

Heavenly Lord Xuanji glanced back at the grand array still refining the Heavenly Demons, then looked at Gu Yuanqing.

Gu Yuanqing's expression was calm. "Fellow Daoist Xuanji may decide. Gu has no objections."

Heavenly Lord Xuanji spoke with slight gravity. "The Heavenly Demons have always been scattered throughout the various rifts, yet today they have gathered here. It seems that while we were trying to capture them, they too intended to lay a trap.

Any change might expose a flaw in the array, and for the Heavenly Demons, even the slightest flaw would suffice for the Origin Demonic Thought to escape. But to completely refine Heavenly Demons at the Chaos Heaven Immortal Level will take at least a month. In other words, we must guard this place for a full month. This is not the Spirit Realm. There will be no reinforcements. Even if the Spirit Venerables sensed something was wrong and entered this extraterritorial void, the chances of their finding us would be exceedingly slim. Therefore, fellow Daoists, even we face the danger of falling."
