Lin Mu continued to wait for the letter to be finished while conversing with Daoist Chu.

"Yes. Be ready to escape at any moment," Lin Mu instructed. "Tell me as soon as you sense anything. I'll send Little Shrubby over to extract you all."

"Alright, I'll prepare here in the meantime," Daoist Chu replied, his expression darkening. "Fuck them! I'll blow this place to smithereens. To hell with diplomacy!"

His fury was palpable. Even if this act triggered trouble with the Immortal Court and the Divine Order, he no longer cared. A line had been crossed, and retaliation was inevitable.

Once the news reached the Immortal Court, their response would be swift and ruthless. No such transgression against a member of the court had ever gone unpunished.

"Can you contact someone at the Immortal Court?" Lin Mu asked, considering every contingency.

"I can send a one-time emergency message, but not from here," Daoist Chu admitted. "The entire city is covered by a long-range communication jamming array. Forget sending a message beyond this world—I doubt I could even contact you if you left the city."

"That'll be problematic," Lin Mu muttered. "Alright. If things go south, escape with Little Shrubby and send the message. We'll hide until reinforcements arrive."
