There were reasons to choose Hu Songqi.
Firstly, Link wanted to drag Hu Shengqing back into the game, and secondly, Hu Songqi had been spotted in the Peach Forest/cliff and her movements were odd, which could be explained to the Imperial Court.
Unless there was no other way out, Link didn't want to face the Imperial Court for now.
Seeing Hu Songqi fetching The Ultimate Secret Book of Witchcraft, Link slightly closed his eyes and broadened his perception.
More than half of the first batch of Martial Artists in the Normalization Realm had died in the valley.
"Lorin Ben, have you absorbed enough?"
Withdrawing his perception, Link immediately reached out to Lorin Ben, who had completely transformed into a tree spirit, and asked.
"Enough? In order to survive, no amount is enough!"
First, Lorin Ben sighed, then responded directly, "Are you thinking of leaving the valley?"
"Yes."
