Jiangli pursed her lips and said, "Okay."
Pei Jiu exhaled sharply, then started coughing up blood.
Seeing his consciousness about to fade, Jiangli immediately asked, "Do you know where Qu Lin might be?"
Pei Jiu's eyelids twitched slightly, "No, no—"
Before finishing his sentence, his body suddenly lurched forward, then dropped heavily.
He had no breath left.
Jiangli checked his pulse and exhaled deeply.
Fu Shiyan was certain that Pei Jiu couldn't survive; he placed a hand on Jiangli's shoulder.
Jiangli quietly murmured that it was okay, then her ears suddenly felt warm, prompting her to stand up.
Noticing her odd expression, Fu Shiyan asked, "What is it?"
"The protective array I left in Jiaoyang Temple has been broken. They should have gone to Jiaoyang Temple."
With a stern face, Jiangli said, "We must hurry back."
Fu Shiyan looked at the unconscious people on the ground: "What about them?"
"Take them back."
