The two gazed at the slowly falling bamboo leaves behind them, their eyes filled with lingering fear.
"Phew, we got lucky. We finally managed to escape the attack range," Su Zixuan exhaled deeply.
"Thanks to the protective star treasure the lord gave me, otherwise, we would have been in big trouble this time," Shi Feng sighed.
"Alas! It seems our plan is ruined. The one who just attacked must be the Purple Bamboo Demon King. From the nature of its attack, its realm should be mid-Emperor level," Su Zixuan said somewhat dispiritedly.
Upon hearing this, Shi Feng shook his head and said, "There's still room for maneuver; we can ask the lord for help."
"This... might not be appropriate. The lord might still be in closed-door cultivation. It could be rash for us to disturb him."
"No, I understand the lord's temperament quite well. I'll get in touch with him right away."
