Swift Strike and Escape

Songji Yan quickly noticed that Ilmyeong Yi was avoiding Jinhwa Hou's attacks, realizing that his previous actions might have raised Ilmyeong Yi's suspicions.

"Ilmyeong Yi, if you don't start taking this seriously, do you want to let others reap the rewards?" Songji Yan sent a message to Ilmyeong Yi, giving a subtle look at Jiheon Yang.

Ilmyeong Yi snorted, "That's what I should be saying to you. Don't think you can use me as a pawn. I'm not that foolish."

"Fine, let's both avoid that. I promise I won't do it. You've seen it yourself—two Purple Spirits are outside, watching us like hawks. If we don't take down Jinhwa Hou soon, those Purple Spirits might lose patience," Songji Yan said in a grave tone, trying to provoke him.

Ilmyeong Yi glanced toward the door, where the two Purple Spirits were already showing menacing expressions, which intimidated him. Gritting his teeth, he finally began to fight seriously.
