Watching the entire situation playing out from above and having long since realized what the Core Formation Realm cultivator was up to through his divine sense, Xuan Hao didn't jump down to save the damsel in distress, but instead decided to watch silently as the little prince was hit by the terrifying explosive force generated by a Core Formation Realm cultivator sacrificing himself.

Even if the young prince ended up in a bad state following the explosion, he would survive and wouldn't take any serious damage that couldn't be recovered from.
