Li Qian wasn't the only one who could figure that out.

She grit her teeth and stepped forward with righteous conviction. "Elder Tie, why don't you take Li Qian and use Instant Movement to get away? Leave this place to me. I'll hold it off."
Elder Tie let out a snort of laughter.
He glanced at Chu Xiran and shot her down without any ceremony. "You're going to hold it off? More like go get yourself killed."
"I..." Chu Xiran was at a loss for words, not knowing how to refute him.
In Chu Xiran's mind, this was meant to be a tragic and heroic moment. But with Elder Tie's blunt takedown, the whole scene suddenly felt rather comical.
"You won't be able to stall for any time at all if you go."
Elder Tie didn't pull his punches. "If it wants to kill you, it'll be over in minutes."
"You'd just be a free kill!"
