Three Years

Xue Ying was most worried that the others would affect and impede his cultivation, preventing him from controlling the Black Gourd in five years. He would be expelled from this world if that's the case; he would regret if that happened.

Fortunately, the three Paragons in front of him–Paragon Emperor Xu, Golden Fire Palace Master and Spectre Prefecture Master did not know of this. They felt what Xue Ying said was logical.

"We do not have any hope at all. He could enter a world he created like the Shadow World. By then, all our attacks could not touch him. Even if we do our best, we could only harass him and not kill him." Golden Fire Palace Master transmitted, "And his frontal combat skill is stronger than Emperor Xu and me. We can't win even if it is a direct battle."

"He can't kill us, and we can't kill him." Spectre Prefecture Master frowned.

"But both Emperor Xu and I will be in danger if we split up." Golden Fire Palace Master added.
