The Vast Sky Saint Son, the Linglong Saintess, the Heavenly-Sword Saint Son, and the Furious-Blade Saint Son were all upper-grade Saints. Since they were powerful with great backgrounds, they flew up and rushed toward the Thunder Lotus Leaves first.
The other self-cultivators didn't hesitate either. Most middle-grade and low-grade saints also flew up and ran toward the middle of the lake. They were afraid that the Vast Sky Saint Son would have carved up the Thunder Lotus Leaves with the others if they got there too late.
Qingfeng Li didn't rush toward the middle of Thunder Lake. Instead, he stepped back.
Qingfeng Li stopped after retreating a thousand meters, then said, "It should be safe at this distance. Everybody be careful and prepare for emergencies."
