Chapter 1226 - 1274: Showing No Mercy
Three more days had passed, and the stone wall remained still, without a stir. During this time, everyone had been discussing the feasibility of such a method. After three days, everyone unanimously agreed that two Innate Experts simply weren’t enough. The options were either to find more Innate Experts, or to wait for Xu Shanshan and the masked woman’s Innate Vital Energy to further improve.
Since such a conclusion had been drawn, staying here seemed meaningless.
The Great Elder looked at Li Yifei and said, "Clan leader Li, although we did not succeed this time, there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future. Before we leave, I must remind you not to disclose this matter. It wouldn’t benefit us to do so."
Li Yifei gave a slight smile and responded, "This must also be a great temptation for me, I presume. If I really spread the word, it would be a huge loss for me as well."
"It’s best that Clan leader Li thinks this way. Then let us part here, and when we return next time, we will certainly invite Clan leader Li to join us."
"Having the Great Elder’s word is enough for me."
The Great Elder nodded again and said, "While we trust Clan leader Li, this matter is too intricate, so we will still erase the markings within the Great Formation. I assume Clan leader Li wouldn’t mind, right?"
Li Yifei couldn’t help but smile wryly and said, "Great Elder, it seems you’ve already noticed that I’ve memorized your markings, huh? Alright, go ahead and remove them, lest I can’t resist trying it out myself."
The Great Elder laughed heartily and said, "Clan leader Li is truly sincere. For martial practitioners like us, the temptation of such a place is extraordinarily great. Even we are constantly wanting to study it here, but it benefits us little, so it is better for everyone to have a clear conscience."
On the way back, the Great Elder kicked away the stones that served as trail markers, leaving no trace behind.
