The response was like a mountain of calls and a sea of roars, one wave higher than the next!
All the Disciples felt their blood boiling; it was as if a fire was burning in their chests!
The Palace Master's words were domineering and protective, yet they spoke exactly to their hearts!
Haven't they been training hard for so long just for this moment?
Wasn't it just to be able to straighten their backs in front of others and loudly declare, "I am from the Jade Pool Immortal Palace"?
"Very good."
Gu Han nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on her face, and turned to look at the several Elders beside her.
"Who among you is willing to lead the team?"
As Gu Han's voice fell, Ink Scale and Fu Shan were the first to speak.
"Palace Master, let me, Fu Shan, go; I guarantee I will protect the Disciples well!"
"Forget it, old ape, you are unreliable. Palace Master, Ink Scale is willing to go!"
Beside them, Yun Miaoyi, Butterfly Dance, as well as Golden Peak, Green Vine, Canghai, Red Cherry, Profound Elegance, and others all had moved expressions.
Clearly, everyone wanted to go!
Gu Han looked at everyone wanting to go, feeling very gratified, and was just about to arrange for Ink Scale to go—
A cold, snow-like voice sounded first.
"I will go."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound; the person who spoke was none other than Li Hanyi, who stood beside Gu Han.
Her voice was not loud, but it clearly suppressed all the fluctuations of aura and thoughts.
For a moment, on the high platform, one could hear a pin drop.
Ink Scale and Fu Shan looked at each other, and the latter scratched his head, muttering:
"If the Grand Elder wants to go, then there is definitely nothing for us to do..."
The other Elders immediately dismissed their thoughts.
Everyone knew that in terms of strength, within the Immortal Palace, besides the Palace Master and the Vice Palace Master, no one could compare to this Grand Elder.
Having her lead the team was undoubtedly the most intimidating choice, and the one that best ensured the safety of the Disciples.
It's just that...
The Grand Elder seemed to have never left the Jade Pool Immortal Palace, let alone taken Disciples on a long journey.
Gu Han also glanced slightly at Li Hanyi.
Deep within her eyes beneath the silver hair, a hint of inquiry and a faint smile flashed.
"Hanyi wants to lead the team personally?"
"Mm."
Li Hanyi nodded slightly, her voice still cold, but with a hint of imperceptible fluctuation compared to before.
"I have stayed on the Peak for too long."
"I also want to..."
Her gaze was cast into the distance, as if penetrating the spiritual mist of Yaochi, seeing the place in the Southern Region where the storm was about to gather.
"See what the outside world is like."
"And I also want to see if my sword is sharp outside."
The last sentence was very light, but it carried a hidden sharpness and arrogance belonging to a Sword Cultivator.
Gu Han listened quietly, looking at the rarely revealed, almost longing expression on Li Hanyi's beautiful side profile.
"Good."
Gu Han's lips curved upward, and her clear voice spread throughout the square:
"This trip to the Secret Realm will be led by the Grand Elder personally!"
"All Disciples above the Foundation Establishment Stage, follow the Grand Elder!"
"We obey the Palace Master's order!"
The Disciples below responded in unison, the sound shaking the sky.
Many Disciples, especially Murong Xue, Li Zhiwei, and others from Snow Moon Peak, had eyes bursting with surprise and excitement.
