At Zuo Qiu Shu's words, the women's expressions softened a little.
Although three days was still very short, at least Huang Xiao could stay. It was better than leaving immediately.
After spending these past few years together, they knew Fan Zhuolang was often stubborn, but he still took Zuo Qiu Shu's opinions very seriously and generally would not go against them.
Only Zuo Qiu Shu could persuade him. No one else, not even Wu Xuancang, could do it.
"All right, three days, then," Fan Zhuolang said with a sigh.
Since Zuo Qiu Shu had spoken, he could hardly keep insisting.
"Good, then I'll stay here for three days. But there's something else. On my way here, the Demon Hall was destroying ships, seemingly on a large scale. Why is that? Senior Wu, could the Three Immortal Mountains uncover anything?" Huang Xiao asked.
The Patriarch might know, but when Huang Xiao had left, he had no source of information and could not deduce anything yet.
"The Demon Hall's intentions in this matter are quite clear." Wu Xuancang smiled. "It's to prevent people of the Jianghu from escaping overseas."
"True experts can use Flight even without ships," Demon Phoenix said.
"Yes, this has little effect on true experts," Wu Xuancang said. "But most people in the Jianghu cannot maintain Flight for long. Not everyone is like Huang Xiao or us. To the Demon Hall, these experts might be somewhat weak, but their advantage lies in their numbers, and they too are targets for slaughter. They may not be able to destroy every ship, but they can still reduce their number, leaving most people in the Jianghu unable to escape overseas for lack of ships."
"I imagine quite a few Jianghu sects have already arranged for some of their disciples to flee overseas?"
