Li Rui frowned. To put it bluntly, he was rather relieved.
This Peach Blossom Lady had become a spirit a few hundred years ago and was surely endowed with great powers. If she were indeed affected by Evil Qi and lost her sanity, she would probably become a formidable foe akin to Pang Manjun or Wei Xun.
At least her inability to awaken now means there won't be an additional world NPC-level enemy.
However, unlike him, the elders were flustered and rushed to surround him.
"Daoist, you must save the Lady."
"Daoist, you are a high adept of Shenxiao Palace; surely you have a way?"
Their anxiety wasn't just emotional attachment to their matriarch, but also fear that if anything happened to Peach Blossom Lady, their Forest Spirit tribe would eventually perish.
Li Rui gestured to the spirits to calm down a bit, pondering for a moment before suddenly remembering that mysterious hint which might still be a quarter incomplete.
Could it be here?
