"Wang Ji, you may return to your room. This matter isn't your fault," Chen Xuan instructed in a detached tone.
"Alright, okay!" Wang Ji felt a surge of relief and quickly nodded in agreement.
"As for you two..." His gaze shifted to Li Mo and Li Ziyan, "I'm afraid I can't just let you both leave like this."
The reason was simple: Chen Xuan had changed his mind.
If it were merely about letting them believe there was a Great Demon here, letting them leave wouldn't be much of an issue. After all, Great Demons are rare and they come and go without a trace, like the Cyan Dragon Vortex, which claims hundreds of lives each time it crosses the border, yet seldom lingers in one place. Even if cultivators spread the word, few would believe it; even if they did, it's hardly worth coming into conflict with a Great Demon over a place like Baihe Village.
Anyway, they would leave on their own accord once they've "eaten their fill."
