Lin Heng's voice wasn't loud.
Yet each word was like a drumstick, striking the hearts of everyone present.
The crowd looked at each other, their eyes complex.
Reflecting on the journey so far.
Was there ever any peace and smoothness?
Wasn't it all today's achievement fought for by the Daoist Lord again and again?
"Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing, like you, are the people closest to me."
"Today, whether they are on the brink of death, or you are hanging by a thread, could I ignore it because of danger?"
"I understand your goodwill."
"But as practitioners, we should seek clarity of mind."
"If I were to sit back and do nothing today, even if I could preserve my life, my path would definitely reach its end."
Lin Heng's calm words made those advising in the Immortal Palace fall silent collectively.
Including the Black Bear Spirit.
He had followed the leader the longest and understood his character the most.
