After all, they knew perfectly well about the Phoenix Wood in his possession. Thus, understanding his urgent need for a Rank-Three Strange Fire, it was possible they laid a trap to lure him in and seize the ancient Phoenix Wood back.
Realizing this, he only strengthened his inner resolve, persistently shaking his head to refuse, regardless of the bearded cultivator's eloquent persuasions.
"If Junior Brother Lu insists on not going, I won't force you either."
In the end, seeing Lu Xuan remained unmoved, the bearded cultivator conceded helplessly.
