"Martial Uncle, what should we do?"
Inside Absolute Defense, Meng Hongchen immediately turned to Qin Xiao, seeking his advice.
Though Qin Xiao was only a Soul Ancestor while she was a Soul King, she regarded him as her pillar of strength. Whatever suggestion or idea he offered, she would carry it out without hesitation.
"There's nothing we can do."

"Wasting such a powerful attack on Absolute Defense isn't really worth it."
Qin Xiao shook his head slightly and stopped Ma Rulong before he could activate the soul tool. "Wait.
