Chapter 5927

Lindsay, silent until now, darted forward and clutched Jared’s sleeve. “I’m going too!”

“Nonsense!” Ignatius scolded. “Lindsay, your cultivation is far too low. Level twelve will swallow you whole.”

The princess lifted her chin, eyes bright with unshed tears. “Father, I’m already at Heavenly Immortal Realm Level Six, and the Earthfire True Scripture I practice restrains demonic techniques. I can help!”

Jared laid a gentle hand over hers. “No. You should stay. This path drips with peril. Earthfire Pavilion needs steady hands here just as badly as swords out there.”

Lindsay bit her lip; moisture shimmered across her lashes. Yet after a trembling breath, she let his sleeve slide free, knowing he spoke the hard truth.

At her current level, she might end up being a burden if she went.

Winslow rose, robe sleeves brushing the floor as he bowed deeply. “Your courage humbles me, Jared. Though the Azure Firmament Sword Sect lies in ruins, these old bones retain some worth. I know every contour, faction, and hidden gate across level twelve. Permit me to act as your guide.”
