The thought process was over in an instant.
Wang Ping first had to consider his own safety, which wasn't a major issue. Then there was the matter of his karmic ties to Liu Chang. The Water Race of Lishui Prefecture were basically homebodies, so there likely wouldn't be any major problems.
Having figured things out, Wang Ping immediately formed the hand seals for his Magic Formulas, activating the Spirit Gathering Array on his right wrist. He then grabbed a handful of seeds from his storage pouch and scattered them. The next moment, a sky full of seeds, guided by Wang Ping's will, followed the flow of Spiritual Qi and descended upon the river channel below at extreme speed.
A few breaths later, a dense forest sprouted from thin air along the river channel and its banks, five to six zhang away from Liu Chang. The flowing Wood Spirit Qi within the forest, in accordance with the Five Elements Rules, immediately absorbed most of the Water Spirit Qi.
