How could he come up with a brilliant idea on the spot? They had to give him time to think.
He vaguely felt that Feng Chi and her companion were even more invested in this than he was.
As he saw it, since these two women had failed to secure strong support from above, wouldn't simply withdrawing be their best choice?
Not only had things become more difficult, but was risking capture just to determine whether the Bian Family had exposed their identities as demonic cultivators to more people really worth it?
Even he had started thinking of backing out after hearing that the Demonic Path was unwilling to provide strong support.
It was only the news that they still had an expert here capable of suppressing Bian Que that had rekindled his hopes.
