Chapter 213: Chu Ning is Ruined_4

"Thank you, senior."

Chu Ning nodded slightly, politely accepting the Elixir.

"Pretending to have a short lifespan was the right move. Besides the three families of Jiuxiao Holy Land, there were Soul Masters and Hollow Void Experts eyeing you greedily from the Void. If it weren't for your short lifespan and the Saint Master's oath, they'd have thought you were done for, no longer a threat, and hence unworthy of starting a war with the Saint Master."

A trace of relief flickered in the elder's eyes; he had thought that only the powers from the Upper Realms were involved, but unexpectedly, the Soul Domain Soul Master had even reached out to the experts from other domains.

If Chu Ning hadn't sacrificed his lifespan, the Soul Master and those experts from the other domains probably wouldn't have given up so easily.

The situation was extremely perilous at the time, which is why he and the Saint Master did not stop Chu Ning when he proposed a solution.
