But Xu Lai didn't hold out much hope.
Last time, Elder Huang Quan had let it slip that the No Righteous Sword was the key. He definitely wouldn't give away information so easily again and would likely demand an equivalent exchange.
"If only I could capture him," Xu Lai muttered, shaking his head helplessly. "I'd suppress him in the Dark Mountain Range and let Taotie subject him to brutal torture..."
Although his Boundary vastly surpassed Elder Huang Quan's, the latter had far too many escape techniques. Even Xu Lai didn't have absolute confidence he could capture him.
Success would be one thing. But if he failed, the two would become irreconcilable enemies, which could even bring disaster upon his family.
The man was a Cultivator at the Nine Heavens of the Quasi-Emperor, and likely from the mysterious Other Shore. If at all possible, Xu Lai didn't wish to cross swords with him.
Forget it. I'll deal with it when the time comes.
