The Eternal Great Thousand Venerable was silent for a long while before finally coming back to his senses. Now it was not only Gu An who scared him—even Hong Yi made him afraid.
With Gu An's protection, once Hong Yi attains Sainthood and comes knocking, he will still die.
No!
This karmic cause must be resolved!
The Eternal Great Thousand Venerable's eyes flickered, sinking into deep thought.
If he continued to scheme against Hong Yi, it would absolutely be courting death.
The Eternal Great Thousand Venerable felt there was still room to maneuver, for Hong Yi had yet to grow to her full strength.
Since Hong Yi's growth was already destined, why not aid her as she matured, continuously displaying goodwill as a form of recompense?
In any case, he could not possibly snuff out Hong Yi again. Against a Saint, he could only ingratiate himself; forceful confrontation was certain death.
