Hearing the old man's voice, Qingdai for some reason suddenly felt as if she was being targeted by a ferocious tiger, and her body jolted in startlement. When she abruptly raised her head to look at the old man, she saw a gaze replete with profound meaning in his eyes.
Confronted with this situation, though Qingdai didn't understand what exactly had happened, she clearly knew something had gone wrong with her plan. Without time to think further, she instinctively reached for her chest and grabbed the Embracing Sword she held there, and shouted, "Shadow Guard, to me!"
As Qingdai's call echoed, the shadow behind her instantly came to life, shooting towards the old man like an arrow.
Qingdai looked on expectantly at the swiftly flying shadow, her face revealing an expression of anticipation and satisfaction. In her view, no matter what preparations or techniques the old man had, facing an attack from a Legendary Warrior, he would meet his demise today.
