Jing Wen flew on his sword, his robes fluttering in the wind.
His gaze had remained on Chen Qiaoqian and Senior Brother Lu earlier, but he had not merely been watching the show from the sidelines.
While considering how to deal with Chen Qiaoqian, Jing Wen had also been weighing what to do with Senior Brother Lu.
Senior Brother Lu possessed a mutated wind spiritual root and exceptional talent, surpassing even dual spiritual roots. In any sect, he would have been a prodigy singled out for cultivation.
Refining his body into a puppet or an external incarnation would at least put it to good use.
However-
The risk was too great, and the return too small.
First, Senior Brother Lu held a special position. He was both a direct descendant of the Lu cultivation family and a core disciple in whom Yellow Maple Valley placed great hopes.
If he disappeared, the sect would undoubtedly launch a thorough investigation, perhaps even alerting a Core Formation cultivator.
If Jing Wen kept Senior Brother Lu with him, his current strength would be nowhere near enough to withstand such an investigation.
Second, Jing Wen had yet to master the arts of puppetry and external incarnations.
Even if he succeeded, the result would be of little use in the short term-he had still left Qu Hun gathering dust in the Seven Mysteries Sect, which showed that such methods were hardly essential to him.
