With a thud, Zhu Ze collapsed onto the ground, kneeling.
The battle that had just been raging quieted in an instant.
Seeing Wu Jinliang bouncing around with his great sword, not looking like anything was wrong, Shi Chun's hanging heart was put at ease, and his gaze also retracted.
He immediately took out the talisman for contacting Chu Jingtang and sent a message: Have confirmed silencing operation in progress, Su Yuan Sect directly involved, evacuate quickly!
Chu Jingtang seemed to be waiting by the talisman, and as soon as the message was sent, a quick reply came back: Where to retreat to?
Shi Chun, admitting that he might not be more familiar with the terrain here than the other party, replied: Retreat wherever you think is safe, don't go too far, let me know where you are, and I'll find you later.
Chu Jingtang: You are my lord and master.
Shi Chun put away the talisman, not stooping to the other party's level.
