Jiang Lu has never liked empty grandstanding.
Always advocating pragmatism, he did what he said.
Although it seemed he was merely paying respects to the sister of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, in reality, he intended to offer his condolences to her.
The Primordial Heavenly Venerable reacted half a beat too slow, and by the time he realized Jiang Lu had circled back, he looked down to see him heading straight for the Queen Mother of the West, and he tensed up instantly.
The Queen Mother of the West was at a critical juncture and must not be disturbed. Heaven knows what mess this bastard would create if let loose.
Fortunately, Jiang Lu wasn't moving fast, and there was still time!
Thinking so, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable's figure shattered like a bubble and began to fade, until, just as he became completely intangible, he caught up with Jiang Lu and reached out to grab him.
