Aaron remained expressionless, having anticipated the outcome. With no expectations, there was no disappointment: "Given the situation, there is no need for you to coalesce with me. Return to your sect on your own... I still have matters to attend to in Daqian."
"Understood!"
Once their communication was over, Aaron immediately conjured a black sun demonic fire in his palm, burning the jade talisman.
Immediately after, he left the area nonchalantly, blending into the crowd.
'Xuantian Sect Ruins...'
'This trip to Daqian... according to covertly gathered information, it seems to have been completely abandoned, turning into a notorious danger zone, a deathtrap?'
'I guess... I better not go.'
'Once I'm done with the significant matters at hand, I can directly return to the Far West and lay low. I will have everything in the end... Why should I take risks?'
...
The night was deep.
