"Hold on." Elder Cang Qiu raised his hand slowly after hearing him speak and pointed at Jing Wuya, "You all can leave, but he stays."
Jing Wuya, who had been half-dead, saw Elder Cang Qiu and sparks of hope gleamed in his eyes.
Empress Feng turned her head and glared at him. He quickly averted his gaze and acted helpless and pitiful.
"We fight to the death here for this paltry gain, and you say he stays?" Empress Feng turned to Elder Cang Qiu again, "And why, is he your father?"
"This matter here was never your place to interfere. I won't hold you accountable for overstepping your boundaries. However, The cause of this turmoil must be investigated by Penglai. This instigator, you naturally can't take him away." Elder Cang Qiu's voice was cold and firm. "If you don't leave him behind, you won't be leaving either."
"Hmph—" Empress Feng started rolling up her sleeves when she heard this, seemingly agitated.
"Master, Master..." Chu Liang hurriedly held her back.
