Zhang Siche stopped speaking at this point.
This time, without being reminded, Pei Ye was about to stand up, but Zhang Siche held him down with one hand and laughed, "It's my turn."
Pei Ye watched his tall figure leave the cave. Now only six people remained in the cave, just enough for two more rounds before the final battle.
In other words, if everyone took turns, six more matches would carry them through another half hour, give or take.
With no one speaking up, Pei Ye leaned against the wall and called out to the Black Chi within him.
"Can you hear me? How are things on your end?"
"Qiongi is heading your way."
"What?"
"Did you forget we attached the seed to him? He must be going back to complete the Zhushi Sect's ritual."
"Hmm, then you're safe."
"I'm coming too."
"What?" Pei Ye sat up straight, "Why would you put yourself in danger willingly?"
"Didn't you ask me to save you?"
"Ah…" Pei Ye felt somewhat moved, "You really don't have to risk your life for me."
