Ang Xiao left quietly, just as he had come. With a flick of his sleeves, he vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind. However, Lü Yang was highly skeptical of this.
"Did he really leave?" He blinked, thinking that given the typical behavior of a Saint Sect True Monarch, there was a good chance he had merely hidden himself again using the Veil of the Trees, and was actually still lurking nearby!
"It doesn't matter. I can awaken the Centome as long as I have my consciousness anyway. If worse comes to worst, using my Incense and Candle Avatar to settle the reward will work just as well. I'm not leaving today!"
Lü Yang made a ruthless decision. Although he felt it was unlikely for Ang Xiao to follow his avatar into Emperor Ying, he decided to play it safe. He would directly use his Incense and Candle Avatar to settle the Old Dragon Monarch's Gold Attribute first, and then detonate the avatar, absolutely refusing to leave any chance of letting the fox into the henhouse.
