The events that transpired during the three days Zhouyang and Jiang Fengxian spent within the Cyan Treasure Cauldron remain a secret.
A secret that cannot be articulated in words or ink.
At that time, when Zhouyang and the others emerged, Cultivator Yin was too busy refining his magical artifact to react.
Elder Lu, however, looked at the vigilant Zhouyang with a knowing smile but said nothing.
He remained silent, yet Zhouyang could not do the same.
"Junior Zhouyang expresses deepest gratitude to the esteemed elders for their life-saving grace!"
"The life-saving grace of the elders shall never be forgotten, and if ever summoned, we juniors shall repay this kindness even unto death!"
After a momentary change, Zhouyang quickly calmed his mind and, full of respect, bowed deeply to Elder Lu, paying homage and expressing thanks.
At this moment, he understood that the lives of both himself and Jiang Fengxian lay in Elder Lu's hands.
