No Other Choice

Upon seeing this, Xu Yong'an's face changed drastically. He could no longer worry about any secrets and shouted, "Senior, if you don't act now, I'll have no choice but to self-destruct!!"

"Hmm?"

The three Grandmaster elders' expressions changed slightly. Though they didn't know what Xu Yong'an was hiding, the sword formation under their command grew fiercer, resembling a violent storm, as they attacked Xu Yong'an relentlessly.

They almost instantly reached a consensus—capture Xu Yong'an as quickly as possible. Regardless of what tricks he had up his sleeve, once they captured him, the hidden forces behind him would surely hesitate to act.

As for his threat of self-detonation, they paid it no mind. A mere novice Grandmaster, even if he self-destructed, what damage could he possibly cause?

In other words, even if he did self-destruct, what harm could it do? The three Grandmasters could easily escape if they wanted to.
