"There is a bit of memory and perception," Li Cheng shook his head, "the moment that power just emerged, I was whisked away by the relic passage. If that power had been any stronger, I might not have come back."
"It may not necessarily harm you," He Ao turned his gaze, watching the lifelike lotus petals from within, "After all, the Black Shadow that pursued you here is also unharmed."
"It's possible,"
Hearing He Ao's words, Li Cheng nodded slightly, "But that power doesn't seem like anything 'gentle' or 'kind.' I can feel its terror and killing intent. Even after all these years, just sensing a little bit of it has etched it into my memory."
"Did you stop me just now because you're worried about the power emanating from beneath the Stone Lotus?"
He Ao asked softly, "Can you still feel the presence of that power now?"
"I can't feel it,"
Li Cheng shook his head slightly, "The power might have left, but it could also be hiding. We must not let our guard down."
"Hmm."
