Chapter 1189: Two Hundred Year Agreement
"Don't be so wilful, Xiaobai! You are currently the only Ink-Eyed Pixiu in existence, so we can't afford to have you taking such risks," Bai Ze scolded in a stern manner.
Xiaobai opened his mouth to object, but Bai Ze raised a hand to stop him.
"I know what you and Fellow Daoist Han are planning. I know far more about the Nine Origins Temple than you do, and it's an entity that possesses power beyond your imagination. You need to stay here on Eight Plains Mountain and focus on your cultivation. As for you, Fellow Daoist Han, I advise you not to take the risk, either. It could quite easily be the last decision that you ever make," Bai Ze said in a serious manner.
"Pardon me for being frank, Fellow Daoist Han, but among all of the powers allied to the Heavenly Court, the Nine Origins Temple easily ranks in the top five, so it's still far too powerful for you to oppose for now," Lekima chimed in.
Han Li's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this.
Indeed, it would've been nothing short of a suicide mission for him and Xiaobai to try and rescue Jin Tong from the Nine Origins Temple on their own, and there was no way that he would've done something so irrational. If he were to die, then Jin Tong's fate would also be sealed.
However, with the Reincarnation Palace thrown into the mix, things were going to be completely different. However, this was a secret that was not his to divulge, so he chose to remain silent.
"I can cultivate wherever. Master has a spatial treasure that I can cultivate in, and I'm not afraid of any danger that may come my way," Xiaobai objected in a determined manner.
Bai Ze was very displeased to hear this, and he gave Han Li a subtle look.
"Senior Bai Ze is right, Xiaobai. It's far too risky for you to come with me, so I also think you should stay here," Han Li said.
Even though Xiaobai had reached the Great Encompassment Stage, it still made virtually no difference in the face of a superpower like the Nine Origins Temple. On top of that, there was a good chance that the Heavenly Court was already aware of what happened on Eight Plains Mountain. Given that Xiaobai had inherited the bloodline of the Ink-Eyed Pixiu, he was almost certainly going to have a huge target on his back.
