"..."
Yao Lao looked at the Dou Sheng's left arm bone Xiao Yan had produced, his expression turning grave. Beside him, Venerable Feng, Iron Sword Venerable, and the others looked thoughtful.
Their gazes held encouragement as they looked at Yao Lao, but none of them spoke.
After all, it sounded simple, but fusing a Dou Sheng expert's bones into one's own body carried enormous risks...
They were willing to leave the decision entirely to Yao Lao.
Yao Lao stared silently at the dou Sheng skeleton in Xiao Yan's hand.
He had never expected Xiao Fan to seize the dou Sheng skeleton from so many experts, much less entrust it to Xiao Yan to bring back to him.
Meanwhile, Xun'er, Qing Lin, and the others stood quietly behind Xiao Yan without offering any opinions.
"Ah..."
After a long silence, Yao Lao sighed, then looked at the dou Sheng skeleton in Xiao Yan's hand and took it.
After all, Xiao Yan was right. Faced with attacks from the Hall of Souls and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, Starfall Pavilion was already weaker than its enemies.
If they sent someone whose strength surpassed the Dou Zun level, Starfall Pavilion would have no room to resist whatsoever.
At this point, the only way to break the deadlock was for him to use this dou Sheng skeleton to shatter the barrier that had once confined his cultivation and step into the Saint level.
Only by reaching the Saint level would he have a chance to preserve Starfall Pavilion in its battle against the Hall of Souls and the Heavenly Demon Imperial Clan.
"Very well. Since that's the case, there's no time to lose. I'll enter seclusion immediately and attempt to break through to Dou Sheng!"
Yao Lao accepted the dou Sheng skeleton from Xiao Yan.
