This time, after hearing Li Yan press her for an answer, Gong Chenying shook her head despondently. She knew he wanted to take her away from here.
Although even birds could scarcely cross the sea outside, neither of them was short of spirit stones. Li Yan, in particular, had always been wealthy. Gong Chenying knew he probably carried no fewer spirit stones than an ordinary Body Integration Cultivator.
If they threw caution to the wind, those spirit stones would still be enough to sustain them until they left this seemingly endless stretch of sea. Especially now, when the enemy had yet to realize anything had gone wrong and was focused entirely on carrying out its planned missions.
As long as she and Li Yan escaped the range of the Body Integration Cultivators' divine sense, they would have an excellent chance of escaping with their lives.
Li Yan's choice was correct. It was also the most rational decision, one she herself had to make now. Even if the clan learned of it afterward, it could not possibly resent or punish them.
Leaving aside the Body Integration Realm cultivators, even the dozen or so Late Void Refinement Realm cultivators outnumbered them. They simply lacked the strength to do anything, however willing they might be.
"I don't have the authority to open the formation. This is a forbidden ground of the clan, so they wouldn't casually grant that authority to others. Only a team captain has permission to open the outermost formation.
"But that person must be alive for his token to work. According to the information we just obtained, only three members of my team remain. Even the deputy captain has fallen. We can only find the other teams as quickly as possible and see whether any captains are still alive!"
