But when they saw Shi Potian gesture at them to stay quiet, they thought there might be a reason for his actions, so they refrained from making any movements, yet prepared to flee at any moment.
In front of them, the resentful spirit noticed countless starry lights suddenly appear in midair. After tilting its head to observe for a moment, it left.
Once the resentful spirit had truly departed, the other martial artists questioned Shi Potian, eager to understand what had just transpired.
"The resentful spirit sensed something amiss here earlier; those types of spirits are naturally suspicious. I burned that talisman on purpose to create an illusion, so the spirit would think something was exuding a faint life aura!"
The martial artists present suddenly realized the situation after hearing Shi Potian's explanation.
"Friend, please lead the way!"
One martial artist said.
"Alright!"
