"Captain Jiang, keeping this person around will only bring trouble," Song Yu returned.
Jiang Ruyi softly said, "We are all disciples under Lord Jade Talisman, gathering Holy Spirit Energy here to honor the great God.
Let him go; even if he can gather just a wisp more of Holy Spirit Energy for Lord Jade Talisman, we disciples would have fulfilled our duty."
Though those were the words from her lips, deep in her heart, she knew well that the potential threat needed to be eliminated.
Except such words, while Song Yu could say them, Jiang Ruyi, who aspired to lead, absolutely could not.
What Jiang Ruyi spared was not Meng Zhixuan's life but the unwavering allegiance and loyalty of everyone else—Song Yu, Zhang Zhenghu, Zhu Yuan, and An Xian included.
This group of people had started out as complete strangers with no prior connections, bound together solely by their shared identity as Jade Talisman believers.
