Hua looked back at Dan Feng with her blue eyes, calm and unruffled as a still pool, waiting for his explanation.
Dan Feng knew that if he had not been close to Xianyu...
If he had not rendered great service to the Xianzhou...
He would undoubtedly die this time.
The reasoning was simple.
Take Yingxing, who had been transformed into a Vidyadhara, for example.
If the Dragon Preceptors in his clan intended to exploit Yingxing...
Dan Feng would show no mercy either.
He would dispose of everyone who knew.
As the saying went, only the dead could keep secrets.
But Dan Feng was the Vidyadhara High Elder. How could he possibly kill his own people?
He would simply send those who knew to undergo molting. Once they reincarnated, they would forget the memories of their previous lives.
Only then could Dan Feng rest easy.
Yet the person who had learned what made Xianyu special was no ordinary Vidyadhara, but the Vidyadhara High Elder.
The High Elder received memories of the past through dreams, passing down the Vidyadhara's secret arts that way.
Dan Feng would not exploit Xianyu's flesh and blood.
But would the current marshal believe him? Would she feel reassured?
Dan Feng thought not.
Thousands of years ago, the Xianzhou and the Vidyadhara had made a pact to seal the "Abundance Emanator Disaster."
Now, Dan Feng, "Imbibitor Lunae," had broken his oath and committed a grave mistake, and the current marshal had investigated Yingxing's blood...
How could she possibly trust him?
The current marshal cared about Xianyu's wishes, and with "Imbibitor Lunae's" past achievements taken into account... she might spare his life. But what about after Dan Feng underwent molting? Would the next "Imbibitor Lunae," Dan Feng's reincarnation, keep his promise?
He dared not gamble on it.
