Ye Qiu entrusted the task of protecting the women and searching for people to the Beast God and Luo Fu, freeing him to focus entirely on what he wanted to do.
He also told Beast God and Luo Fu that he would leave the Path of the Star River early.
Staying here no longer offers him much help; he's killed Taiyi, and neither Shi Mo Jun nor the Traveler would fight him to the death now, and with both in the ancient city, he can't take action. With that being the case, it's fine to settle accounts with them later.
Beast God and Luo Fu thought leaving early was a good idea too, otherwise if everyone left together, there was a chance someone might ambush Ye Qiu on the way.
Especially given the current situation, Ye Qiu has slain the strongest prodigy of the ancestral land; who knows how furious and crazed Taiyi Shen Sect might become.
If they explode with anger and clash head-on, Ye Qiu would be in grave danger.
Both agreed to Ye Qiu departing early.
