The group exchanged glances. After a long moment, Guan Shouxin made up his mind. "Let's do it," he said. "We'll slice off half and leave with it. That still counts as saving him, right?"
"Besides, with things as they are, Qu Wenbai is already done for. If we don't take half and just try to retreat, it's not even clear we could escape. And even if we did, there'd be problems with the Celestial Heart Sacrifice's operation."
Guann Zhenzhen nodded as well. "Yes, that works. Besides, with the Nine Lives Evil Soul Path Old Ghost Qu cultivates, he shouldn't be able to die. Saving half of him still counts as a rescue. At least we're not just leaving him behind."
The group nodded, all agreeing with Guann Zhenzhen's conclusion that he wouldn't die. But… whether you could call that 'living' was another question. After all, not being able to die wasn't the same as being alive.
