Zhang Yan spoke directly about his intention, but Sect Leader Qiao did not think this way. Under the successive blows from Xuanyue, Zhongtai was already at its breaking point. Adding one more person would be of no help to the overall situation.
Standing here, even in the best case, means nine chances of dying for every chance of living.
Sect Leader Qiao raised his hands in solemn salute to Zhang Yan and then stepped to the side, saying, "Fellow Daoist, please come to the carriage to discuss matters."
Zhang Yan smiled and returned the salute, then stepped onto the carriage.
Mrs. Zhao forced a smile at him, while Elder Yan closed his eyes to rest. Seeing Zhang Yan come up, he nodded his head slightly, greeting him.
After Sect Leader Qiao seated Zhang Yan, he also sat down and turned to Elder Yan, saying, "Senior Brother, please bring all the junior brothers here; I have something to say."
