Inside the hall.
"In that case, I will certainly ask on your behalf, Senior, to cleanse the lineage."
Xu Xuan agreed without hesitation.
Beside him, Guan Quan's expression darkened slightly. There was a reason he had not approached anyone else. Those of the Bliss-Desire Demon Land were notoriously hard to kill. Among Great Li's Purple Mansion cultivators, aside from those at the Violet Pinnacle, only a handful could reliably slay demons of this path.
And Sword Immortal Xu, standing before him, was undoubtedly the most suitable choice.
"Laying down the [Azure Heaven Profound Imperial Grand Formation] will require some preparation. I can come to your sect and establish it a year from now. If Sword Immortal Xu can put an end to that disciple of mine during the Northern Campaign afterward, you need not offer anything in exchange. If not, we can discuss the matter of spirit treasures later."
Guan Quan was quite generous and had no concerns about the other party's trustworthiness. After all, the two sects had conducted many transactions, almost all of which had ended amicably.
Establishing the formation was an urgent matter. With Xu Xuan heading to the front, he would surely be all the more concerned about his sect. Guan Quan's willingness to set up the formation first was a favor in itself.
"Then you have my thanks, Senior."
Xu Xuan did not stand on ceremony. His sect truly needed this grand formation.
With Wu City to the north, the Liao people should not be able to break through. But Great Li's interior was hardly peaceful either. Though no one ought to be mad enough to attack his doorstep, nothing was absolute.
The two settled a few more details before Guan Quan took his leave, stepping into the Great Void and vanishing in an instant.
