Gu Tongbing lowered his head in thought and said, "The effectiveness of my Demon Bone Powder can last at least two hours—unless there's a cultivator dueling nearby, and the mana causes a disturbance in the Primordial Qi, which would render the Demon Bone Powder ineffective. Otherwise, we should be safe for now."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Two hours should be enough to wait for this ambush to end, for their people to withdraw. After they withdraw, we'll go out."
Chen Yan looked at Gu Tongbing, his tone very serious: "Aren't you planning to explain things to me?"
"Huh?"
"Logically, the people ambushing the flying boats should be your associates, right? Since you've encountered your associates, why don't you find ways to seek their help?
Why do I feel... like you're more afraid of being discovered by them?"
Gu Tongbing gave a peculiar smile: "There might be something you've misunderstood."
