"Senior, I'll be back soon—within half a day at most!"
Within a dense forest amid endless towering mountains, Luo Beixi glanced around, memorized this location, then gave Li Yan a deep bow.
Next, he had to rush back to Saint Demon City immediately. A distance of more than a hundred thousand li would not take him much time at full speed.
This trip back was not merely to bring his younger sister out. He also had other matters to handle, such as his junior brother Ye Yuhong's situation. He needed to make proper arrangements and devise a reasonable explanation.
Over the past year, although he had given his junior brother medicinal pills and used spells to treat his injuries, Wang Xing had long since instructed him otherwise.
He had told him to keep Ye Yuhong unconscious and not allow his injuries to fully recover. Ye Yuhong could not be allowed to learn of his affairs.
Thus, even if Ye Yuhong awoke later, he would only discover that he had already returned to the clan and still needed to remain in his cave dwelling to meditate and recover from his injuries, leaving him with no time to concern himself with Luo Beixi.
If Luo Youhuang could be healed, he could later say that they had captured the Strength Soul Gu and truly awakened Youhuang. Otherwise, he could only say that they had failed to find the Strength Soul Gu!
As for his own master, he had entered seclusion years ago, which spared Luo Beixi one explanation.
Luo Beixi feared Wang Xing might grow tired of waiting. He would rush back at full speed, settle everything, then return as quickly as possible.
He was not actually afraid that Wang Xing would break his word and leave. The man's cultivation was vastly higher
