After a brief confrontation, both sides have a basic measure of each other.
The Daoist Lord couldn't retain the Awakened's spiritual thought, and the Awakened couldn't do anything to the Daoist Lord either. Taibai True Monarch couldn't handle Jiang Li, and Jiang Li wasn't confident in breaking the World's Number One Sword.
Thus, the Awakened and Jiang Li straightforwardly took their leave.
After they left, Li Qinglian also bowed to the Daoist Lord and left the Daoist Temple.
Regarding this, Taibai True Monarch didn't stop them, seemingly ignoring his independent incarnation, merely holding his sword while gazing in the direction Jiang Li departed.
"What do you think of this Fellow Daoist Jiang?" The Daoist Lord also looked in the same direction, his voice gentle as he asked.
