The old Taoist’s face was pale as he muttered, "Had it not been for that battle with the Demon Venerable years ago that ruined my Lotus Ascension Vein, why would I have needed to absorb demon energy, enter the demon path, and build a demon soul."

Jiang Shouzhong was quite frustrated as he had been "tricked."
He wasn’t worried about facing threats, but the endless troubles were bound to delay his journey. Escorting the enemy state’s princess was already like walking on a tightrope, and any delay could trigger a butterfly effect.
Seeing Jiang Shouzhong’s grim face, hesitating, Jin Ao persuaded, "Brother Jiang, since the eldest son of the Su family knows some Taoist magic, he must have set up an ambush nearby. Let’s just wait for him to show up, and I’ll take care of him myself; there’s no need to worry about hidden dangers then.
If you are really worried, after resolving the trouble, I, Old Jin, will personally escort you to Tongzhou."
Su Junwen said sternly, "My elder brother is especially cunning; knowing that there are experts here, he will surely think of other methods to deal with us."
After pondering, Jiang Shouzhong still decided to take Er Liang and the others and leave.
