"This..."
Li Haotian's expression showed a hint of astonishment. "Xu Aiqing, what happened? Why have only you and Lan Yun returned? Where is Purple Spirit?"
"She's dead."
Xu Qing's expression was somewhat cold. "We were ambushed by Zhu Guyun the moment we arrived in the Chiyun Dynasty. At the critical moment, it was Purple Spirit who acted. She transformed into a Dragon Demon, which allowed us to break through Zhu Guyun's encirclement."
"At the final moment, I took out the Great Tang Envoy Order and infused Purple Spirit with a wisp of Emperor Dragon Qi from it. This greatly increased the power of the Dragon Demon she had become, allowing her to injure Zhu Guyun. I seized the fleeting opportunity and finished him off completely."
"So, Xu Aiqing, you succeeded?"
After a brief stun, Li Haotian quickly processed it. "You killed Zhu Guyun?"
"Yes."
Xu Qing nodded.
