"Pang Ruyuan took a Shattering-Void Pill and used a Forbidden Art, yet he could still be alive?" Huang Xiao asked.
"As long as we haven't seen Pang Ruyuan's corpse, we can't let our guard down," Zhu Xing E said. "The Pang Family has undergone a reorganization this time, so we needn't worry about them attacking you without authorization again. But Pang Ruyuan has now effectively left the Pang Family. His actions represent only himself, and the Pang Family can't restrain him, whatever he wants to do. Especially in his current state, he's utterly deranged and capable of anything."
"You're right. Pang Ruyuan really might not be dead," Huang Xiao said with a frown.
As long as Pang Ruyuan was alive, he remained an enormous hidden danger.
If he learned that Huang Xiao was still alive, he would probably attack him again.
"Of course, you needn't worry too much. He certainly won't be able to show himself anytime soon. He's probably hiding somewhere, recovering from his wounds," Zhu Xing E said. "Cultivating in seclusion alone won't make you a true expert. I know the Hall Master has been putting you through life-and-death trials. They're incredibly dangerous, but you should know their benefits very well."
"Going out is a kind of trial too," Huang Xiao said with a smile, taking a deep breath.
"Exactly. It's also a form of tempering and a test," Zhu Xing E said with a nod. "Perhaps everyone else thinks you won't dare go out again and can only hole up in the Heavenly Demon Hall to cultivate while waiting for the Thousand-Year Period to arrive."
"Then I really can't let them guess right," Huang Xiao said with a hearty laugh.
"Tempted?" Zhu Xing E asked.
"Actually, I'm very curious about that Longevity Pill Manual," Huang Xiao said.
