"My wife and I shall thank Sister Dugu on behalf of our junior brother," they said.
You Xuan hurriedly pulled Ji Lu to bow in thanks.
"No need, we each take what we need," Dugu Lin said as invisible sword light appeared beneath her feet, "I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first."
The sword light carried her and shot towards the foot of the mountain in an instant, disappearing into the vast white sea of clouds in the blink of an eye.
Ji Lu and You Xuan both sighed.
"We've finally gotten past this hurdle..."
"Yes... It's one thing to cross Han Xiaolong, but to have a Qi Refiner at the pinnacle of his power fall to the Demon Path, and there are only a few at the peak in our Sect, if the higher-ups find out, they'll be furious. A thorough investigation will inevitably implicate the junior brother," Ji Lu said with concern.
"We just have to do our best..." You Xuan comforted him.
