Back at the main peak, Guan Xilin looked displeased when he saw Nie Teng, but he didn't drag up old grievances with him. Instead, he went to look for Ye Jing to find out what had happened and then prepared to leave with the Deputy Headmaster.
"Why are the few of you coming along? They are eight Golden Core cultivators and four Nascent Soul cultivators, and we don't even know the exact level of their cultivation. You are just going to get yourselves killed if you go. Stay back and wait for our return!"
After he finished speaking, the Deputy Headmaster looked at the Headmaster and the rest of the teachers leave under the leadership of Ye Jing. He then turned to Nie Teng, Guan Xilin and Xiao Yihan and said: "Go back now! Don't cause any delays to our rescue mission!" Before they could respond, he stepped on his flying sword and caught up with the party up ahead.
Nie Teng glanced at Guan Xilin then leaped onto his flying sword and followed the group ahead.
