"I will simply thank both senior predecessors in advance!" Jian Dan cupped her hands in a respectful salute and took her leave. The matter had been made clear, and she had tactfully suggested a form of compensation. As for how the two clans might react behind the scenes, that was beyond her control, though she believed Jiushao would act as a mediator.
Baituan, who had been waiting outside the cave dwelling, saw Jian Dan emerge and simply followed along behind her. This sight left Jiushao with a tight feeling in his chest—what a thoroughly unfilial descendant.
Bao Xun, however, spoke up:
"What that Immortal Jian said sounds reasonable enough, but can she really become the fuse that ignites a conflict between the human and Demon Clans? Let's hope she isn't exaggerating to make excuses for the casualties she caused."
"She can."
Surprisingly, it was Xilin who answered this time.
"That formation was a desperate trap of certain death, comparable to the self-detonation of someone at the Immortal King realm. Otherwise, it wouldn't have alarmed the Demon Emperor himself."
