Seeing that Elder Zarek retreated, Elder Thalor snorted. Then he turned his head to Elder Garrick and said, "Vice sect master, I, Thalor, swear on my sword faction's honor that I absolutely did not direct Leo to do anything. Currently, the exam is not over. Please allow Leo to safely perceive in the sword forest. If, in the end, Leo still hasn't come out, then he will be at your mercy."
Elder Thalor had already tried his best to buy Leo time. If Leo really hadn't come out by the end, then Elder Garrick would punish. He didn't have any other methods.
