Dongfang Qinghua gently shook his head. "I don't think we can handle the power in there. We'd be better off retreating."
The Dongfang Family had already profited from this expedition.
They had suffered few casualties and thus weren't prepared to take the lead.
Ouyang Qingcheng remained silent the entire time.
After glancing at Sima Yue, Sima Junye also shook his head.
He feared the Sima Family couldn't afford to expend its strength.
He had always been terrified of anything happening to the highly promising Sima Yue.
The old master would kill him if he went home, so he also chose to retreat.
Nangong Liang, however, was inwardly displeased. With a faint smile, he said, "We've worked ourselves to the bone and sacrificed so many people in the Stone Forest. Was it all just so we could retreat?
Here's what I suggest: each family sends one person to scout ahead.
We shouldn't send too many people this time. That way, if things go wrong, retreating will be much easier."
