Mu Chen’s party wore bitter-cold expressions. A surprising amount of Spiritual Energy surged from Su Xuan, Guo Xiong, and Li Qing; it was clear that they’d decided to act, too.
The expressions of the two leaders changed when they saw that and they scrutinized Mu Chen and Su Xuan. Looks of fear flashed through their eyes.
Su Xuan was far stronger than they were. If it came down to a fight, they probably wouldn’t be able to win, even if they teamed up against her. Then, there was the youth who looked gentle on the surface, but was ruthless underneath. They’d probably have to pay a huge price for fighting him, too.
On top of that, the Spirit Treasury was due to appear soon. It’d be unwise for them to exhaust their strength here and now.
If they wanted to take back their pride, they’d have to wait until they could ally with another powerful adventurer party.
