"Elders, due to an urgent matter, I must depart immediately. I shall rely on you to protect this place against any unforeseen events until I return."
Shi Hao's voice is steady and strong, each word imbued with undeniable resolve.
Hearing this, the Lord of the Forbidden Area slowly nodded:
"Go ahead, Huang; although we old bones haven't been active for a long time, we still have the spirit of a seasoned steed yearning to gallop a thousand miles. We can still make a show of force if necessary. We will stay here to guard your rear, quietly awaiting your return."
Bird Grandpa and Grandpa Jing Bi echoed the sentiment.
Shi Hao bowed deeply to express his gratitude.
Then, with determination, in a single thought, he transformed into a streak of light soaring toward Liu Village.
Before long, the serene and harmonious village came into view.
