Lie Yan couldn't hear the voices of Wu Fengxian and Jiang Yuntian. Seeing Ye Chenfeng's silent demeanor, he thought Ye Chenfeng was contemplating the next strategy. Little did he know that Ye Chenfeng would say, "Valley Master Lie, didn't we pass through a dense forest just the day before yesterday? Go wait for me in that forest." Having Lie Yan follow would only be a burden to Ye Chenfeng, and it was also the wish of Wu Fengxian and Jiang Yuntian that Lie Yan should leave first.
Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng's words, Lie Yan immediately replied, "Brother Ye, how could this be? Either we leave together or we stay together."
Ye Chenfeng shook his head and said, "Valley Master Lie, I understand your sentiment, but if you accompany me into the Swamp of Death, I will have to be distracted to take care of you. I will definitely be safe. You just wait for me in that forest; I will surely meet you there tomorrow."
