Chapter 732 (2/2)

But it also planted a potential problem for the Yan Family’s Ancestor himself.

This condition was a promise.

The words of the Yan Family’s Ancestor once spoken, became a promise given to Bai Yi.

Originally,

Bai Yi was nearly incapacitated, and his Space Ring was in the hands of the Yan Family’s Ancestor.

Logically, whether it was Li Mingwu or Dragon Daoist, their focus would only be on the Yan Family’s Ancestor.

And the nearly powerless Bai Yi was already without any value.

They presumably would not make him their primary target.

At the very start, Li Mingwu did just that, directing all his attention towards the Yan Family’s Ancestor.

However, just as the Yan Family’s Ancestor thought the matter was settled and was about to let Bai Yi leave, Li Mingwu came to a realization at this time.

After thinking it through, Li Mingwu instantly understood that the turning point in this affair actually lay with Bai Yi.

Since the Yan Family’s Ancestor had made a promise to Bai Yi, Li Mingwu became keen on breaking this promise and insisted on eliminating Bai Yi.

At this moment, it appeared as though the Yan Family’s Ancestor had everything in hand, ready to depart,

But unexpectedly, the Yan Family’s Ancestor was still bounded by the promise he had just made.

The Yan Family’s Ancestor, unlike Li Mingwu, was honorable.

Promises he made, he naturally intended to fulfill.

If he claimed he would save Bai Yi, then the Yan Family’s Ancestor would indeed strive to do so.

If it were due to Li Mingwu’s threats that the Yan Family’s Ancestor abandoned Bai Yi and fled,

Not only would that shatter his promise and act against his conscience,

It might also leave an indelible shadow in his heart, potentially giving rise to a Heart Demon.

The path of a cultivator was a process of battling against heaven.

If even this bit of courage was lost,

The next encounter with a Heavenly Tribulation would likely prove dire.

This was different from before making a promise.

If he hadn’t made a promise earlier, the Yan Family’s Ancestor could naturally choose to ignore Bai Yi.

But having made a promise, the Yan Family’s Ancestor was compelled to follow through.

…

In the current situation,

The Yan Family’s Ancestor alone faced both Li Mingwu and Dragon Daoist, and he also had to protect Bai Yi.

This was even more difficult than before.

The Yan Family’s Ancestor’s brows were tightly knit.

At this moment, he was contemplating the immediate situation.

Li Mingwu had now grasped the current state of affairs and would certainly not hold back.

If in this situation, he could save Bai Yi from the hands of Li Mingwu and Dragon Daoist,

He would surely pay a significant price.

Perhaps even by a slip, he himself might get dragged into the fray.

The Yan Family’s Ancestor was weighing his options while he pondered,

But,

The time for the Yan Family’s Ancestor to think was not long.

Just after a brief moment, his expression became incredibly resolute, as the aura of his cultivation burst forth from him.
