But, where there's one, there could be two, who the hell knows if there'll be even more of these Esoteric believers lurking in your safe zone?
This time I was lucky, encountered a First Rank and didn't die, also managed to protect my family.
What if next time I'm not so lucky and run into a Second Rank? Or a Third Rank? Or even a damn Fourth or Fifth Rank?
Then what?
Am I supposed to just hope "I don't run into them," or rely on the Star Tower that's already shown up late once?
Xu Shu's trust in the Star Tower had dwindled; he had tagged it with "Late, though it comes"—it would surely come, but whether it's to save the day or to collect bodies was another story.
History had taught Xu Shu two lessons.
First, infidelity happens either once or countless times.
Second, without forethought of the future, worries will come sooner rather than later!
So, the top priority right now was to quickly enhance my own strength.
Xu Shu opened the Tai Chu Scroll.
