The originally tight encirclement was torn open!
In an instant, not only were the surrounding soldiers thrown into chaos, but Xiao Yuansui's thoughts were also suddenly jumbled.
Instinctively, he almost immediately wanted to order the archers surrounding them to fire and have all the soldiers advance. There were only thirteen monks here, and they weren't armed with weapons. If they truly fight, these people would be like mantises trying to stop a chariot.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuansui felt a strange pang in his heart, which surprised him a little.
He had always been a person with a clear target. For his goals, the number of deaths was just numbers, and who died was merely a different aftermath. But for some unknown reason, failing to force Lu Xiao to die, coupled with Shang Ruyi's cold attitude and those sharp, sober words, though they didn't make him doubt his past, left him, for the first time, hesitant when making this decision.
