Lu Ren immediately put away the fragments of the Immortal Slaying Soldier and handed them to Little Broken Tower.
Long Xiaoman also entered the Reincarnation Ancient Pagoda.
Worry lingered on Mu Hanxue's face. "Lu Ren, we killed everyone from the Four Clans. Once we leave, they may well fight us like cornered fish, even if the net breaks!"
Lu Ren looked at Mu Hanxue. "Hanxue, the Four Clans are all Eighth-Rank Noble Families with deep foundations. Would they really dare kill us?"
