Although Li Yan did not want to leave behind a powerful enemy bent on revenge, Bai Yan was exceedingly difficult to kill. Not only was he a formidable Demon Cultivator at Integrated Body Late Stage, but he was also highly skilled in the path of formations, raising both his offense and defense to another level.
From the soul search, Li Yan had learned that traps and escape routes had already been laid throughout the surrounding area. Even if Li Yan truly went all out and joined Xiang Yanxiu in attacking, they might not necessarily be able to forcefully kill him in the end. Besides, Li Yan could not unleash his full strength here. Whether it was the spells of the Five Immortals Sect or the techniques of a Soul Cultivator, he could not use them in front of Xiang Yanxiu. In that case, if he wanted to kill Bai Yan, he would have to place his hopes on Xiang Yanxiu. But Li Yan had never placed his hopes on anyone else. If a late-stage Body Integration Realm expert constantly kept him in mind, someone possessing immense divine abilities and peerless cunning, that person might one day find him. When that happened, Li Yan might still be fortunate enough to escape if the other party attacked—but what about the cultivators of Pojun Sect?
