These words left Piao Miaoxu feeling stifled.
"Rest assured... there is still another way."
Piao Miaoxu said indifferently, "Do you really think I'm the type not to have a backup plan?"
"But... what other way could there be?" Shuo Wuji couldn't fathom. Nine Provinces! The mere sight of the known Ascension Experts is enough to make countless cultivators tremble. And Dongfang Mu, a man blessed with immense Qi Fortune... The Eight Desolate Netherworld was thought to be the only means to counteract him. Yet, even here, Dongfang Mu's beloved confidantes are present...
"His several beloved confidantes..." Piao Miaoxu said indifferently, "are all unlikely to ascend."
"Why is that?"
"From the situation with Yan Qingwu, if they haven't ascended after so many years of cultivation, there's only one possibility... They are closely tied to Dongfang Mu; perhaps, that scoundrel is their Heart Demon obstruction."
