"I finally got the token."
"Now there's only one last step!"
Inside a side room of Fengdu Prefecture in the Yellow Springs Ruins, Heavenly Lord Xuanbei and Daoist Fengzhu both let out long sighs of relief when they saw Xu Taiping obtain the water lily and walk safely out of the Li Household's small courtyard.
At that moment, Ninth Madam suddenly asked Heavenly Lord Xuanbei with some concern:
"Did you ever tell Xu Taiping how to escape the massacre in Three Paths Village?"
Heavenly Lord Xuanbei nodded.
"If he merely wishes to escape it, I already explained everything clearly to Xu Taiping in that Divine Soul Mark."
Daoist Fengzhu also spoke up:
"For cultivators entering Three Paths Village for a trial, escaping this massacre requires only finding a safe place to hide before the mountain bandits arrive."
"Aside from that, they can find a way to get themselves expelled from Three Paths Village."
"Or they can surrender directly to the mountain bandits on the other side and survive this calamity that way."
Heavenly Lord Xuanbei shook his head.
"Although it sounds very simple, compared with gaining the villagers' trust upon entering the village, whether you hide, surrender, or get expelled from Three Paths Village..."
"The risks involved are dozens of times greater than before."
Ping'an suddenly asked, very curious:
"Can't he resist these mountain bandits together with the villagers of Three Paths Village?"
Old Daoist Huang also asked in great puzzlement:
"I remember the two of you saying earlier that you valued Taiping because of his ability to use the Fengdu Token to mobilize Ghost Generals."
"If surrendering, hiding, or being expelled from the village are the only ways to survive this massacre..."
"Then what use is that ability to mobilize Ghost Generals?"
"Of course it's useful." Heavenly Lord Xuanbei
