Looking at Zhou Li in front of her, the Fox Demon seemed to sense his determination and said with a tinge of helplessness:
"The Golden Snake Gang's power has long been rooted in the Thirteen Cities of the Northern Ring, and Taiying has long been in the bag for the Golden Snake Gang. What use is there in going? The Golden Snake Lady's strength has already reached that of an Eighth Realm Holy Demon, just one step away from becoming immortal. If you can neither stop her nor protect yourselves, why bother?"
"While it's true that your strength is exceptional among your peers, Zhou Li, with your Three Mirror Body, defeating a Fifth Rank isn't out of the question. But power is still power, and within Taiying, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of monsters from the Fifth Realm, and more than a dozen monsters from the Sixth and Seventh Ranks, not to mention the Golden Snake Lady leading the charge. Even if Brother Zuo and I make a move, we are no match for such a power."
