Jiang Wang pondered for a long while and then said with the bald Commander's expectant gaze upon him, "If this epidemic poison truly can afflict Transcendent cultivators, then where can you run to now? Which route do you plan to take back to Qi Country? How can you ensure that the people you encounter on the way are not carrying the plague?"
"This..." the bald Commander hesitated.
Jiang Wang continued, "In the domain of Qingyang Town, at least all those stricken with the epidemic have been isolated both internally and externally, posing no threat to you and me. Should the epidemic poison truly mutate, we will be able to detect it at the first instance."
"If the situation is as grave as you imagine, running around in a panic would only be more dangerous. Staying in Qingyang Town is the safer choice."
Jiang Wang wasn't truly appreciative of this Guard Commander or too considerate of him; rather, he was thinking about the lack of manpower in Qingyang Town.
