"Don't worry, it's not a big deal. I just need to go back and handle something," Qu Qingsheng explained softly when he saw Chen Fei's concerned expression.
"I can handle it myself. Elder Zhou, you should go back with the sect leader," Chen Fei said quietly.
It was only when facing a sect like the Sword Return Tower, which had cultivators in the later stages of Aperture tempering realm, that Chen Fei needed the sect's support. Otherwise, with his current strength, he could handle the vast majority of situations.
Qu Qingsheng and Zhou Zixun exchanged glances and nodded without opposition.
Since yesterday, when Chen Fei's Divine Slaying Sword pierced into Xing Xinzhao's sea of consciousness, Qu Qingsheng and the others had noticed that Chen Fei's cultivation seemed somewhat unusual. After traveling together and getting a closer look, they realized that Chen Fei had reached the mid-stage of Aperture tempering realm.
