Even though he has never met the figure who cursed the founders of the sect with a curse that remained for more than ten thousand years later and has transferred from generation to generation seamlessly, he knows not to mess with such a figure.
It is a matter of common sense to him not to mess around with someone capable of making a curse that can suppress him. But apparently, he needed to threaten his fellow cultivator with death before she could realize this truth.
He sighed and said, "The curse has been lifted. Do you want to leave the sect or stay around?"
She replied, "I don't want to leave yet. I want to reach the limit first before moving upstream."
He looked at the metal ring that his two avatars were inspecting and said, "If this goes well, you might not need to leave the sect at all."
He was about to explain what he meant, but she asked him. "I'm not going to mess around. But I have one last question. Do you think he was telling the truth earlier?"
