It was indeed a risky decision for Beisitian and Chu Fenglei to collaborate. She didn't know much about Chu Fenglei's sect, an ancient lineage known as the Crocodile Sect; just hearing the name, one could tell it wasn't easy to deal with.
But she decided to do so anyway because the thing that appeared was too unusual. She knew that compared to them and the current major families and sects, these ancient sects had a better understanding of such things and knew how to resist them.
She wasn't without means to deal with it; it was just that it would be rather taxing for her alone. The appearance of this thing not only symbolized fear and death but also harbored a massive conspiracy. Figuring out who's behind it was hard for her alone, or even with just Qingyu.
She needed someone to collaborate with.
Chu Fenglei wouldn't disclose his origins due to orders from above his sect, and Beisitian knew he wasn't telling the whole truth, but she hadn't revealed much of it either.
