"A Spirit Race elder, two hundred clanspeople?"
Xu Xuan could not help chuckling when he heard this.
He did not quite believe the girl's words and merely took them as a joke.
"Big brother, you have to believe me. This is our Primordial Spirit Lord's territory, and the last pure land of our Spirit Race."
A gleam of hope flickered in the girl's eyes. Then she looked off somewhere, unusual lights flashing in her gaze.
"Oh no, there are lots of strange beasts outside!"
Outside, someone shouted.
Hearing the shout outside, the girl's expression turned panicked. She hurriedly looked at Xu Xuan before her, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
"Big brother, the elder said only you can kill those strange beasts outside. Apart from the elder, none of us have any cultivation."
The girl spread her hands helplessly. She was only a mortal of flesh and blood, so how could she withstand that pack of strange beasts outside?
Hearing this, Xu Xuan gave the girl a searching look. Sure enough, there were no fluctuations of power anywhere around her. Strictly speaking, apart from the aura that marked her as a member of the Spirit Race, there were no fluctuations of energy at all.
"Big brother, the Rune power the villagers can use is limited. The elder said only you can save us. I hope that, for the sake of all the care I've given you these past days..."
"You'll save our lives. Will you?"
The girl dropped to her knees with a thud, her face filled with pleading!
Watching the girl suddenly kneel and beg him, Xu Xuan hesitated only slightly before finally nodding.
"All right. I'll grant your request."
Xu Xuan nodded and stood up.
Seeing Xu Xuan finally stand, the girl clenched both fists in excitement.
