"If there truly is a treasure, then where might it be?"
Ji Mingkong was thinking the same thing; after scrutinizing the Sage's Skull dozens of times, and now being so close, they only saw where the remains of the Saint were but saw no sign of the treasure.
Although it was said within the Clan that forebears had once obtained treasures, such occurrences were extremely rare, and each Sect had different methods of acquiring treasures. They didn't know how to open the place where the treasure was hidden, or even where it might be.
"Retreat for now!"
Ji Mingkong pondered for a moment, then showed decisiveness.
When he retreated, Qingyi had also broken free from the Light Pillar's restraint, her body covered in blood and in extreme disarray. She gave Ji Mingkong a murderous glance, but ultimately did not attack him.
Qingyi knew that given Ji Mingkong's status, even if she were to attack him now, she couldn't kill him. It would only increase her own exhaustion and waste time.
