The golden hair man and co. seemed to be truly afraid of Lian Ji. They actually didn't chase after them.
After they travelled far and Ji Li confirmed that the four men didn't chase over, she finally heaved a breath of relief. She bowed respectfully towards Lian Ji, "Thank you Dao Friend for saving my life."
Lian Ji hurried to wave it off, "Those four fellas have an incredibly bad reputation. They've hurt countless cultivators in the Cosmos Myriad Gods Dock. I am unable to be of much help to you too. Just like what they said, I am barely able to protect myself too…"
Lian Ji shook his head as he didn't continue his sentence.
Ji Li naturally understood the meaning of Lian Ji's words. Lian Ji wouldn't be much help to her because there was nothing much he could do for her even after saving her. With her Dantian destroyed, it would be a miracle if she could survive. Moreover, she couldn't follow Lian Ji around.
