“Still, Kennedy is no ordinary opponent,” one of the guards said cautiously. “She injured you yesterday. Even if you were careless, her Frost Technique is genuinely dangerous. With just the four of us—”
“What are you afraid of?” Fairxy snapped impatiently. “She’s already seriously injured. Her strength has dropped sharply. With all four of us working together—and with my Purple Lightning Pearl—how could we fail to take down a wounded cultivator?”
Her voice hardened as she continued, “Besides, my husband knows I’m handling matters here. If there’s any real danger, the protective talisman he left behind will activate. He’ll sense it and come immediately.”
At the mention of her husband, a flicker of pride and reliance flashed through Fairxy’s eyes.
Chenzy Yux held a prominent position among the younger generation of the Yux family. His cultivation had already reached the early Golden Core stage, and he doted on her without reservation.
Seeing that Fairxy’s mind was made up, the three guards exchanged glances and bowed. “We will obey your orders, Fairxy.”
“Send word to the Seventh Elder,” Fairxy commanded coldly. “Tell him that Kennedy may have fled into the northwestern mountains. We’ll investigate first. Ask him to come as quickly as possible.”
