Zhu Bogao said in a deep voice, "Better than nothing, getting this item allows me to push the Powerful Fourth Transformation Realm to the Perfection Realm, increasing my odds against True Master Zhang."
With a change in thought, he added, "There are only two months until the day of fighting techniques, and the timing is urgent. I must enter seclusion immediately. Matters within the tribe will be managed by you for now. If Mingcang Disciples come to harass, temporarily retreat and ignore them. We will discuss everything further once I emerge."
The middle-aged Daoist bowed and said, "Your child understands."
The two months quickly passed. Under the step-by-step pressure of Mingcang Sect disciples, the Yu Yuan Tribe had to abandon all lands guarded ashore and retreat deep into Jin River.
