"Hold on."
The black-robed man was about to release Ye Qiu when suddenly the powerhouse from the Donghua Sect called for a stop.
The black-robed man looked over, only to hear the Donghua Sect powerhouse say, "If you let him go, what if he disappears from our sight?"
"Even though the two of us are here, there's no guarantee that this kid won't actually get away. If he really escapes, finding him would be like looking for a needle in a haystack."
The black-robed man agreed with the Donghua Sect powerhouse's reasoning and did not release Ye Qiu. He said to Ye Qiu, "Kid, you better just speak straight. It's impossible for me to let you go."
Dammit!
Ye Qiu couldn't help but curse inwardly, especially at the Donghua Sect powerhouse. If the black-robed man had released him just now, he could have taken the chance to slip inside the Taihuang Bell. But as it stood, with the black-robed man not letting him go, he couldn't move at all and was entirely at their mercy.
