When Shen Lie had returned to the cave entrance where Qian Yufeng was, he could clearly sense that Qian Yufeng was in agonizing pain as she was still unable to have her breakthrough.
Actually Shen Lie knew the reason of her failure; it was because it was he that had used a mystic profound art to suppress her breakthrough.
It was not because Shen Lie wanted to harm Qian Yufeng but because he could not afford for her to breakthrough at the wrong timing.
Should Qian Yufeng have her bodily breakthrough from the half-step saint phoenix root to the full saint phoenix root, there would be auspicious signs in the heavens that attracted the profound beasts and the two holy saintesses, Chu Qingshuang and Su Lingxi.
