As Elder Jin fled towards the Jade Plate, he heard another loud noise behind him, causing his body to tremble involuntarily. He didn't need to look to know that those left behind would not be fortunate.
Yet, his tunneling light showed no signs of stopping, and soon he re-entered the Jade Plate, his face full of guilt as he came before He Yizhu. He knelt down and confessed, "Sect Leader, Shang Qingjun somehow found a powerful Dharma Treasure. I was ineffective and no match for him."
Having lost two elders consecutively, and with Elder Jin fleeing without a fight, He Yizhu's expression was unpleasant. Yet, this was not the time for blame. He helped Elder Jin up and consoled him, "I saw it myself; it's not the elder's fault."
