Chapter 737: Presence
When Li Pin stepped out from the Humanity Sanctum's teleportation zone, Liang Qiu immediately came forward to greet him. "You're finally back."
Wang Fuyun, Yun Lai, Yu Xuexian, and several others were with him. Anyone would go out of their way to preserve a connection with a future Tyrant.
Li Pin gave a slight nod in response. "Sorry to keep you waiting."
In addition to Hou Yun, there were a few more Solar Flare and several dozen Astral Gods behind him. They were additional forces Yuan Guang personally sent over to ensure his safety. This alone spoke volumes about how much the Humanity Sanctum valued Li Pin.
However, now that they had reached the sanctum, the Solar Flare and the leading Astral God teams didn't linger. After a quick salute, they turned and departed.
"This journey must have been tough," Wang Fuyun said.
"Not too bad," Li Pin replied casually.
"Your advancement site happened to be far from any quick-return route to the Humanity Sanctum. It seems the Heaven Ordainment Sect had something to do with it. The Hall Master even consulted an elder from their surveying team. But according to the Astral Map they provided, that area was indeed one of the safest zones... So, the Humanity Sanctum can't press the matter too much."
Liang Qiu paused briefly, then added, "Still, the fact that you made it back safely—that's what matters most."
Wang Fuyun, however, remarked, "Li Pin only returned safely thanks to his decades of cultivation in the Eternal Solar Flare Realm. For that, he even..."
He glanced at the Eternal Oblivion Force lingering on Li Pin's back, and his expression turned solemn. "If he hadn't risked everything to push his cultivation, how could he have returned unscathed? The Humanity Sanctum owes him an explanation."
"Hall Master Yuan Guang has already informed the other Hall Masters and started the negotiations," Liang Qiu said with a smile as he looked at Li Pin. "If all goes well, the Cosmic Radiance Divine Item that the Divine Treasury Hall applied for on your behalf will be upgraded. You might receive a top-tier divine weapon. At the very least, a high-grade one is guaranteed."
