"Elsa, I didn't expect you to break through to nine stars," the girls surrounded her, their faces full of admiration.
They had been following John for a while now, and their cultivation had advanced quite quickly, but none of them had yet reached the nine-star mark.
Elsa smiled and replied, "It's just an increase in cultivation; my strength still doesn't match Sini's or the others'."
She was being honest. Sini and the others' strength couldn't be judged solely by their cultivation level.
"Alright, we can catch up later," John interrupted them, then asked, "Elsa, did you manage to escape the Church of Light?"
"No, I'm here to report something important to the master," Elsa answered, her eyes fixed on him. Her beautiful eyes blinked, and there was a faint glimmer of tears.
