Princess Lingyun was thoughtful and considerate, but Bai Yan, standing nearby, showed Su Hongshan no courtesy whatsoever, bluntly pointing out:
"The Princess's action is a stratagem of crossing the sea under camouflage. What she naturally seeks to deceive are supreme experts. If General Su were to escort us all the way, the Princess would likely not survive long enough to reach the Imperial City."
Hearing this, Su Hongshan instantly flared up and retorted without yielding an inch:
"That mere Red Lotus Cult—I've never even heard of them! What supreme experts could they possibly have? Can't they even defeat a Rank 5 martial artist like me? Qingyao, you tell me, what cultivation level is that Red Lotus Cult expert, really?!"
Mu Qingyao had no choice but to answer truthfully: "That Cult Master should be in the Rank 5 Golden Core Realm."
