Jinmian took a deep breath and said, "From elder's words, is it your intention to keep us here?"
He smiled faintly and said, "Although we are indeed not as cultivated as elder, we are still confident that if we want to leave...we can leave like elder. It won't be easy for elder to keep us here."
Peng Wanli's eyes sparkled as he said, "I never intended to keep all of you, but it's quite easy to leave just one or two of you behind."
"Elder is joking."
Jinmian said, "Now that there's a chance for a peaceful resolution, why risk our lives? I think elder's injuries must not have fully recovered. To merely exhaust one's own spiritual power and lifespan due to stubborn pride is hardly a wise act."
