Although they hadn't known each other for long, Li Qian could feel the genuine care in Elder Tie's words.
Regardless of whether this care was politically motivated, Li Qian was very grateful.
So, he returned the favor, replying, "Elder Tie, you be careful too. If things go south, pull back as soon as you can."
"Don't you worry. This old man cherishes his life," Elder Tie said, turning back to grin at Li Qian, revealing two rows of pearly white teeth.
With that, he unhesitatingly commanded his Pet Beast and plunged into the water.
At Elder Tie's level of cultivation, his body had been enhanced by numerous contracts and evolutionary feedbacks, making his physical constitution far beyond that of an ordinary person.
Staying underwater for several hours was an easy feat for him.
After Elder Tie entered the water, Mu Qianqian and Zhao Xiwei didn't fall behind, following closely after him into the depths.
