Xie Chuan sensed the anomaly as well, and his expression immediately turned tense.
"Young Master Lingrui, those three have sent word. Once Solitary Moon Mountain receives the news, they will definitely send more people." Xie Chuan lowered his voice.
The three before them were, at the end of the day, only at Qi Gathering Early-stage. They posed no substantial threat to him or Yang Lingrui.
But after they had sent word, things would be different.
Given Solitary Moon Mountain's nature, they would at least send a Late Qi Gathering cultivator.
By then, let alone himself, even Yang Lingrui would be in danger.
Hearing Xie Chuan's words, Yang Lingrui's expression remained calm. "Xie Family Patriarch, I have a suggestion. Take this chance to evacuate all your clansmen."
Xie Chuan came to a sudden realization and hurriedly took action. He rescued the surviving members of the Xie Family from the shattered ruins and organized everyone to leave the area.
Half an hour later, Xie Chuan returned.
"Young Master Lingrui, everyone has already withdrawn."
"Mm. Xie Family Patriarch, you should leave this place as well."
Xie Chuan was startled. Just as he was about to say something, Yang Lingrui spoke slowly, "It is enough for me to remain here. If you stay, I fear you will not only be unable to help, but may also lose your life."
Yang Lingrui paused, then turned his head with a gentle smile. "If something happens to you, the Xie Family will be finished. It would be better for you to leave early. Do not sink too deeply into this mire of trouble."
Hearing this, Xie Chuan's heart jolted, and he stood frozen where he was.
He had invited Yang Lingrui here in the first place to have him help the Xie Family ward off disaster.
