Ten days later.
Inside a residence in the city.
Wei Tianci, Helena, and the fortune teller Said sat together.
With their combined efforts, the demon general puppet advanced further, reaching the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
"Heh, the Flame Gate's understanding of the Demon General Puppet is truly profound. According to their method, the puppet's recovery speed is indeed very fast."
Said, inside the demon puppet, said unconsciously.
Wei Tianci smiled silently, thinking that with his current understanding, it wouldn't be impossible for him to upgrade the Demon General Puppet to the complete late stage.
However, time is tight right now, so this plan has been put on hold for the time being.
Helena stood up after hearing this and said calmly, "We should also set off."
Wei Tianci looked at Helena thoughtfully: "Palace Master, which direction are you planning to go?"
Helena said expressionlessly, "To the east, the Flying Dragon Continent."
During this time, they also roughly figured out the layout of this area.
There's a Flying Dragon Continent to the east, and most importantly, many members of their treasure-hunting team are there; they can vaguely sense it.
However, Wei Tianci smiled slightly and said, "I'm going west."
Helena frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Said's expression was inscrutable, and he remained silent.
They could also sense that Ling Xumei was in the west.
Objectively speaking, they should have gone east first to join the main group, since everyone except Ling Xumei was in the east.
Furthermore, a key divination expert within the treasure-hunting team is also located in the east.
Only when they reached the east could they continue their calculations and advance.
The most important thing is to get the holy water from Yaochi as soon as possible.
So Helena frowned and said, "Going east is the most practical option."
Wei Tianci insisted, "Then we can only part ways. We'll come find you after I meet with Xu Mei."
Helena said in a deep voice, "I can feel that Ling Xumei is getting further and further away from us. She is still heading east. It's not worth it for us to chase after her."
Wei Tianci said calmly, "Then I should find her first."
Induction is mutual.
Since Xu Mei knew that her group was in the west, and she was still going further and further away, it meant that she might be in trouble.
Helena, unusually angry, said, "Don't be so stubborn. We are a team, and we need to consider the bigger picture."
Wei Tianci smiled faintly: "This time, I'm determined to do things my own way."
Helena's face darkened as she stared intently at Wei Tianci.
Wei Tianci looked back at her with a normal expression.
Neither of them would give in.
Seeing this, Sayyid sighed.
“Fellow Daoist Wei, I’m not speaking on behalf of the Palace Master, but if we go to meet up with Fellow Daoist Xu Mei now, we will have to cross the Western Marsh Plain.”
"As you probably know, the Western Marsh Plain is extremely dangerous. Even cultivators from other races would face a nine-out-of-ten chance of death there."
He felt that if Wei Tianci really went to cross the river alone, he would definitely be committing suicide!
Wei Tianci smiled slightly: "You're right."
It's just four simple words, nothing more.
So what if it's raining knives over there? My partner is trapped there. Am I supposed to just ignore them and go looking for some damn treasure?
Said hesitated for a moment, then looked at Helena.
At this point, the courtyard fell into a deathly silence.
After a long silence, Helena slowly said, "Okay, let's head west first."
When she spoke, her eyelashes fluttered noticeably faster.
This shows that she is feeling very complicated right now.
The decision that had already been made was abruptly reversed, going in the opposite direction.
This was truly the first time in the life of Palace Master Helena.
Upon seeing this, Wei Tianci nodded slightly to Helena, thanking her for her understanding.
Helena gave a soft hum and said bluntly, "I don't want you to go against me, and I hope there won't be a next time."
Although she had long since developed the ability to remain calm even when faced with a collapsing mountain, at this moment, she truly felt a sense of frustration.
Wei Tianci also hummed in agreement, which was considered a compromise. It was really unwise to argue with a woman.
