Hong Zhen Tao said with difficulty, "This is an order from above, not my intention to obstruct you."
"Then let us speak when we reach the foot of the Main Vein!" Shen Wang said impatiently, "We are not all dead yet!"
"Right, it's one thing to abandon us, but why block our retreat?"
"We are fighting Demon Beasts, why not give us at least one way to retreat?"
"Don't be so ruthless!"
Many outsiders chimed in, already resentful that the Celestial Travel Sect's cultivators had suddenly fled, now their retreat was blocked too—truly infuriating.
Hong Zhen Tao was sweating on his forehead, not fearing these ordinary people and Low-Level Cultivators, but he was afraid of what Shen Wang might do with them.
"Move aside, place your wall to block the Demons instead!"
Shen Wang was unequivocal; he could allow these people to abandon others, but not to block his retreat.
Hong Zhen Tao reluctantly replied, "If blame comes down from above..."
"I'll take it!"
Shen Wang was impatient.
