"Then we must see if we can get something good this time, lest it all ends in disappointment..."
After a preliminary discussion, the three of them decided to delve deeper into the Secret Realm a few days later once the scorpion swarm had settled down.
After all, the Secret Realm had been discovered, and delaying even a single day could mean that his and Yun Yao's twenty years of preparation would be in vain for someone else.
"The previous cultivator's death is likely to alert those in the shadows, so we'll wait a few days before entering the array to uncover the truth."
Old Hu also agreed, and the three of them swore an oath based on their cultivation hearts to temporarily join forces.
Swearing by the cultivation heart might not be very binding, but for them, as cultivators, it was the strongest pact they could make.
Especially for cultivators whose hearts remained steadfast in their pursuit of the Tao.
...
Seven days later.
