Ji Chuan halted his sword light and arrived at Lei Jun's side.
Lei Jun looked deathly pale, "This humble Taoist has suffered a backlash and dares not move recklessly,"
*Ji Chuan felt conflicted inside.*
*Looking at Lei Jun in his current state, even if Ji Chuan wanted to take Lei Jun with him, it would be unwise to act rashly; the slightest jostle, and Lei Jun might not withstand it.*
Ji Chuan glanced back at his fellow disciple, Zhao Gang, but the latter had already headed east on his own, too far for Ji Chuan to call out.
"Here on Cangbo Mountain, it's barely safe enough, but as we're still within Master's duel with the Great Demon, the risk is far too high," Ji Chuan said urgently.
Lei Jun said, "Life and death are fate, this humble Taoist can only trust your master, Elder He, now,"
Ji Chuan hesitated for several breaths, his expression shifting rapidly.
